ORLANDO, Fla. — Editor’s note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal.
CEO Jeff Carcara of Sixty Vines — a restaurant chain that’s part of Dallas-based FB Society — first scoped out what would become the new location for his second Orlando-area restaurant in 2020. The Plaza Venezia site was the former home of Hawaiian-fusion eatery Roy’s Restaurant, which had closed by then.

Carcara noticed the building as it stood at the time didn’t take advantage of Little Sand Lake behind it, that the space was too chopped up and lacking in character.
“I envisioned taking more space — like, another 5,000 square feet — and making it 12,000 or 13,000 square feet, with a back room with all glass looking towards the lake, which Roy’s didn’t do,” he said.
