60 Vines

Saw a lot of buzz about Sixty Vines, and happy to finally get a chance to check it out.

In case you're wondering, it is a wine bar with nice food.

This is a Shared Dish: Wood-Fire Cauliflower.

Up close, it is pretty cool for the gram.  But giving you the whole head made it hard to cut and eat.  It's decent and I do wonder how hard is it to make it at home.

Burrata - not exactly shareable.  It is yummy, but it's too big for one person, but too small to split with another person.  The tomatoes are awesome, love the pesto sauce, but again size was my issue.

Bacon Wrapped Dates.  I mean... it has bacon, what else is there to say?!

Fregola - risotto with wild mushroom, pretty yummy.

Fig and Prosciutto Pizza.  Very generous with the greens, one of my favorite dish for the night. 

Asparagus with cheese onto.

Waygu steak.  The meat was way chewy than a true, honest to goodness Waygu from Japan.  For that price point, however, I did expect decent slab of meat.  Super crazy, none of us were impressed with the steak, however, we finished up the side pasta.  That was delicious.

Sorry for the lighting.  This is the Deviled Affogato.  It's Deviled because it's Devil's Food Cake at the bottom, Salted Caramel Ice Cream with coffee caramel sauce on top.  And as a true affogato, a shot of expresso to pour over the ice cram.   That as delicious.

Overall the dishes were mixed for me.  Some of them were excellent, and some were meh.  There were no in between.  Our service that night was also interesting.  At the beginning, our server were attentive, checking on us, answering questions.  As the night progress, not sure if he was having a bad night.  Threw a utensil, plates were put down kinda rough.  Just overall vibe was weird.  Beautiful spot, has a huge selection of wine, lots of seatings.  Hope that was a one-off type of off night.
