ABOUT

Nineteen61, we position ourselves as a benchmark for Lakeland dining. A new standard that shows what is possible — what Lakeland diners should expect from their restaurants. Despite of it all, including of our humbling success, it has never been about monetary success. It is not about recognition or press. Instead, it is about the food, the freedom, and sharing these bounties with a community we love. With the understanding of quality and the value of creating an in depth memorable experience beyond a crafted dish, the wine poured in your glass, and linens on your table — we believe it requires more than just that.
