A Culinary delight

Nineteen61, a recognized premier fine dining destination in Florida was brought to life by owner and lead Chef, Marcos Fernandez. The menu is full of memorable items that combine a modern Spanish style accompanied by a Latin American twist with a Southern propensity. 

At 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 it all, including 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 a focus on quality and 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.

“In the heart of our culinary journey lies Nineteen61, a restaurant that emerged from humble beginnings, where passion ignited the flame of creativity. “
