    This was the first time for my husband and I to try. Wasn’t sure after mixed reviews. We were pleasantly surprised. My hubby had the fried chicken plate w/mashed potatoes, biscuit and coleslaw. The biscuit was cool so they brought us another one, no big deal. I had the spaghetti pecorino. It was delicious! Overall we really enjoyed the food and ambiance.

    The location is wonderful and with the Christmas lights everywhere it made it all the more lovely. The fig and prosciutto pizza was absolutely perfect. The drinks were nice, though it would have been nice to have chilled glasses for the Prosecco. Other than that the appetizers were hot and delicious, and the wait staff was attentive and welcoming. We are from Houston and love Misty and everyone there. It was nice to see another 60 Vines when visiting family for the holidays. Nice to see that the quality carries through to their other locations.

    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!
