Sixty Vines Foggy Bottom

This is a great place on Pennsylvania Ave close to the Foggy Bottom Metro. Their ambience is extraordinary, menu selection quite expansive and great service. We ordered the appetizers with the expectation that we will decide on the main course later. However their appetizers servings were so generous that we were barely able to finish them.

My new favorite restaurant. A bright, beautifully-decorated space to enjoy a large selection of food and drinks at affordable prices. My excellent server, Johnny, helped me decide on Creste di Gallo ($22), a rich, creamy pasta loaded with flavor. Perfect for special occasions or any time. Close to the Foggy Bottom Metro.

Had such a great time at dinner last night! I have been a handful of times, but last night was the best yet. Food was great, wine was tasty and fun to try, but the best part was how great Nijann’s service was! As a server myself, I really appreciate genuine suggestions and every single one was perfect!

Stopped here for a quick Sunday afternoon brunch. Loved the ambiance! The wine selection, 60 different wines on tap, was more than we could have asked for. The lunch plates were tasty and filling. Will be coming back!

UPDATE TO REVIEW FROM 7 MONTHS AHO We've returned several times and enjoyed every visit. Favorite dishes (we try to avoid meat though they have many options if that's what you want) wood fired cauliflower with swhipped eggplant Roasted smashed fingerling potatoes Beet salad with whipped feta, pistachios and a vinaigrette with diced apricots I had a very nice glass of Sangiovese rose, my husband enjoyed his merlot ~~~~~~ On our way home early this evening we decided to drop in for a glass of wine. So glad we did. Many options at a variety of prices. As light drinkers it's great to have choices of small, medium and larger glasses. Lovely server. Sorry I don't remember the her name. We didn't eat though we ate once before and enjoyed recalling that meal. We live in the neighborhood and will be back. One little thing would make it even better. Lower the music. it's a great place to talk if you can hear each other.

Stopped by yesterday and had a wonderful meal. Our server, Mara, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She was very sweet to my daughter who shares her name. Kitchen was fast and the food was so good. Try the olive oil cake if you haven’t! It’s worth saving room for. I can’t wait to come back to try more of her suggestions. Thank you mara and sixty vines 😀

We really wanted to like Sixty Vines, as DC could use more wine bars, but the service here was exceptionally poor. We gave their happy hour a chance twice. Both times we sat at the bar, and both times service was extremely slow. We had to wait 10+ minutes each time just to get water, and then our wine order wasn’t taken for another 5-10 minutes even though we were sitting directly in front of the bartender and it wasn’t particularly busy. We always had to flag bartenders down for a refill. The first time we went, the bartender didn’t mention anything about happy hour, but we had confirmed with the hostess before that happy hour was on and we had the happy hour menu on our phones so we knew what was discounted. When we got our check, it wasn’t discounted to happy hour price, so we had to ask our bartender to correct it. It felt as though she didn’t want us to know it was happy hour (since she never once mentioned it) so that we would be charged more, which feels very scammy. The facility is very aesthetic, so the atmosphere was good, but that unfortunately didn’t make up for the poor service and frankly the subpar wine.

Sunday, Brunch Day! From the minute you walk through the door. You're welcomed with a warm smile from the host and an inviting smell of their very own rosemary candle that fills the air. Mmm! Once inside, the atmosphere was just as delightful; open, airy with a great source of natural light everywhere. As for food, we tried a variety of starters; all very pleasing to the palette. Compliments to the chef for reconstructing a pasta dish into a pizza!🍕 It was as delicious as I imagined it would be. What a great experience shared with friends.
