This Winter Park restaurant quickly has become a business lunch destination

Sixty Vines restaurant in Winter Park has the airy, chic vibe and vegetable-heavy menu you'd expect at a California restaurant, but it first opened in Plano, Texas.

The restaurant, which opened in 2020 two weeks before the Covid-19 shutdown, has a full bar, 60 wines on tap and an extensive lunch menu. Included are 13 appetizers, customized charcuterie boards, five salads and 20 entrees.

The 7,097-square-footrestaurant at 110 Orlando Ave. in the Lakeside Crossing plaza is directly across the street from another popular lunch spot, Hillstone. Sixty Vines quickly has become a favorite for business lunches, thanks to servers knowing the balance of turning a table, providing good service and giving patrons the breathing room to discuss business.

Those are the words of Yelp reviewer Chris J. of Orlando. Here's what else he said: "As someone who continually hosts business lunches and events at this location, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough."

When I visited on Feb. 20, the service was good, but not fast. I'd recommend servers ask diners if they're on a time crunch for a business lunch so things can move quickly. Otherwise, you may be at the table for an hour and a half like I was. That works for some business lunches, but not others.
