    The waitstaff were outstanding!!!! The food was great and cooked perfectly. My husband and I got the smoked trail boss ribeye and the steak just melted in my mouth on the first bite!! We also got the chuck wagon Cheesecake and that was sooo delicious! It was our first time there and we will definitely be coming back.

    Great experience at 60 Vines last night. We tried many different small plates and everything was enjoyed immensely. There was a vegetarian and pescatarian in our party, both individuals had plenty of things to choose from and loved their experience. Truly something for everyone here, and incredibly reasonable prices especially considering their location. Would recommend to anyone!

    Our server, Leeann C was incredibly kind. She offered to take our group photo as we were celebrating the Christmas holiday over lunch. When I asked about the soup of the day and told her my favorite was the tomato bisque, she said it wasn't on today's menu but she went to the kitchen and found out the chef's were already preparing it. She subbed it for me to make me happy!
