My boyfriend and I decided to stop at this establishment for brunch on our drive back home and are…read moreso happy we did! The workers were extremely welcoming and they even greeted us with a complimentary dry champagne because it was our first visit. Nate our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The maitre'd Neal checked on us as well and that made us feel even more at home. I ate the eggs benedict and it's a nice twist using jamón ibérico and melt in your mouth biscuit. My boyfriend ate the prime rib that had a dry rub and made specifically only for brunch which he said was divine. We can't wait to come back and checkout what more they have to offer. If you're ever in the Lakeland area definitely be sure to give them a shot!

My second dining experience at this restaurant and I was not disappointed. My first time was in…read more2024. The reason was the restaurant just happened to be the year of my birth. How sweet. Not knowing what to expect, we made reservations and were greeted with pleasantries, immediately seated, and welcomed. The octopus was smoky and tender. Just right-at least that's what little red riding hood said . I don't remember much else because food kept coming and I kept eating. We had the best service that night and the owner came and spoke with us. He told us the reason behind the name which is when his family came to the US. Fast-forward to July 2, 2026, I visited Lakeland, to see my mom who lives there. The hotel happened to be down the block from Nineteen61. My mom's appetite had waned. I was concerned but knew if she got what she wanted it would help her to regain her appetite. She wanted an entire snapper. Not many restaurants serve the whole fish (head and all). I called and, what do you know, they serve deep-fried yellowtail snapper. The whole fish. Reservations for 8:30pm the same night and we arrived at 8:10 p and were immediately seated. I had the miso salmon, hubby had the rack of lamb, and mom got her fish. We added ripe plantains and started with the calamari. It was not bready. Just the right amount of dusting for a crunchy texture. But the sauce was tangy and sweet-so good. Oh, the salad-nix the cheese. The dressing is amazing. My husband ordered the Riesling, and I got the moscato. Mom went with a strawberry daiquiri. Here is where things get interesting. We are sweet wine drinkers and the Rieslings we are used to are sweet. This was dry. So the server gave him a taste of the moscato and he went with that. I don't know what they do with wine when you send it back-so I opted to keep the glass of Riesling and mix it with my Moscato. I cannot explain the result. Suffice to say we both enjoyed the mixture. The restaurant was busy. That is always a good problem to have. The servers and bus teams worked swiftly and maneuvered among the diners, crisscrossing through the ravines created by the tables with finesse. We received a ample attention and we needed it-adding and asking for condiments to which they supplied. The bar was amptly stocked and the decor inside the restaurant captures the history. What was more appealing was the size of the restaurant made it feel like you were dining in your own private nook. Yes, I would return to Nineteen61 again and again. Worth it!

I stopped by Zarza at 4648 Cleveland High Blvd, Lakeland, FL., for a late lunch today. I arrived…read moreat 1:30 and the restaurant had a steady stream of customers, most opting for takeaway. Zarza doesn't have a specific lunch menu like it does for breakfast. You order at the kitchen counter, and you get a handheld device that lights up and buzzes when your food is ready for you to pick it up. I ordered the ¼-Chicken Special which comes with yellow rice, black beans, a 4-ounce side and a fountain beverage. I had the fried sweet bananas as my side. The chicken was moist and delicious. The side dishes were also very tasty. I will definitely be back to try some of the other offerings on their menu. (Also, Zarza has just opened a second restaurant in Winter Haven and with food this good, I'm sure it will be a success! I can't wait to try it!)

Hawaiian pizza was our best option for the day. We weren't too hungry and saw someone eating it as we walked inside. So we had to try it. It's our favorite pizza. As it is for most Colombians! The pizza was good, plenty of pineapple and everything else. Pineapple was very sweet. And it was nice and cheesy I am definitely coming back with the rest of my family, and or friends to try other dishes that looked delicious- like the Parrilla for example. The service was decent. They were busy and so not took some time to figure the sitting and ordering. But once we ordered, the pizza did came out very fast Loved the soccer decor. They're clearly ready for the World Cup or at least I hope so. Nice decor, I definitely takes you back to the city of Bogota if you grew up riding their city bus that was fun for my eyes The place is small with a larger amount of tables. So, it can feel tight when busy. And can only imagine how it would feel if you go there to watch a game. So just be prepared for that. They have a restroom for men and one for women- with a baby changing station
