Nineteen61 - Réservation de table

We dined 6/15/2019 for my wife's birthday, joined by our son for a party of three. We tried both sangrias and thought they were delicious if over-priced. The appetizers were good, we had the calimari special (delicious) and the charcuterie plate for the apps. I think they could be a little more generous with the cheese at that price point, and a couple more slices of pane cubano (there were just 4 cracker-size pieces). We all tried the shrimp special. We thought the shrimp was too salty; my wife refused to eat them, and she's normally the one to add salt to dishes before me or my son. The shrimp tasted fine after the bracing first bite. The underlying risotto was perfect, I could have just e...

There is no question that Nineteen61 is the best restaurant in Lakeland and would be an exceptional restaurant even in a major city with numerous fine dining restaurants to compete against. The food is outstanding and the service at a very high level. Once Nineteen61 opens at its new location on Munn Park in downtown Lakeland, I am sure the level of food and service will rise to an even higher level. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant without any hesitation or qualifications whatsoever. Whether for lunch, dinner or Sunday Brunch, this is the place to be.

Our server made several helpful suggestions on each course of the meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed each dish we ordered. My wife had the Ropa Vieja and I had the Wok Seared Lomo. Both were excellent, with incredibly tender meat, and exceeded our expectations (which is saying something because Nineteen61 had come highly recommended). The Brussel Sprouts appetizer was indescribably good! We were celebrating our anniversary and really appreciated that we didn't feel rushed as we ate. We look forward to visiting again soon!

I felt like I was missing out because I didn't see the impressive pictures of the dishes that were posted online. Unfortunately, my experience at the restaurant did not live up to my expectations or those of my guests. While one of my guests enjoyed their hamburger, I was seeking a more elevated culinary experience that was promised. I may consider giving this restaurant another chance in the future, but it's not likely to be my top choice. Overall, my guests and I were not overly impressed with the dining experience.

Once again we had a lovely evening at nineteen61 and brought friends from Tampa to experience what we love about the restaurant. Service by Mark was terrific and the kitchen dod a great job with timing and presentation. The only issue I had was the height of the bench seat to the floor. It was too high and I felt like a little kid whos feet could not touch the floor. Looking very much forward to their new incarnation at the former Posto 9 location.

The food and service were wonderful as always. The size of current location is always a concern. Table seating is so close together it makes it challenging. The new location is very welcomed and we can’t wait to have our first meal in the larger space. Wait staff were wonderful and dealt with any situation that was given to them with professionalism and kindness.

Every time I visit Nineteen61 I realize how fortunate we are to have this restaurant in Lakeland. Everything is outstanding. The food, service, ambiance and attention to detail could not be better. This restaurant is the best in Lakeland and I would highly recommend it for either lunch or dinner. Easy to rate it highly in all categories.

Delicious food and excellent service. I recommend the chorizo and chickpea soup, the 1961 salad, the ropa vieja with manchego risotto that is the bomb, and the tres leches. The only item I was disappointed with was the charcuterie board. For the price I expected more. Réservez une table maintenant

The only issue we encountered at this restaurant was the noise level. As someone who frequently hosts business dinners, I would not hesitate to recommend this place to my colleagues.

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent. The menu offers a wide variety of options but is on the pricier side.
