We decided to eat at Bin 36 to celebrate a special occasion. It had been a while since we last visited, so we were curious to see if the place had lost some of it's momentum. Well, it hasn't. We opted to try the wine and food pairing menu. We had had it previously, but I don't think they have... more

Wow, a great wine list with unusual fun wine flights. Lots of unique cheeses to try. We enjoyed both but the cheese is served with very thin delicate crackers. Service was rather sluggish so we ran out of time to order an entree. We left hungry. more

I have been to Bin 36 several times, and am always incredibly satisfied. They make wine accessible, sharing their passion with experts and novices alike. To compliment a vast wine selection, their food is near-perfect, and they have a large selection of cheeses. Perfect for celebrating a special event or learning more about wine. more

Food is so-so but I love the way they tell you where to find the wine you have with lunch if you want to buy a bottle after! more

If you love cheese, Bin 36 is like heaven. Fantastic selection of cow, sheep and goat milk cheeses - over a dozen of each kind to choose from. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful in making our selections. The atmosphere is very nice, too - relaxed and hip. more

Have only been here for a team lunch, which hinders the experience, since we couldn't really drink the wine. But I can comment on both the ambiance and the menu -- and both were impressive. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches and/or entrees and the desserts were decadent. Not to mention, they carry Intelligentsia coffee! more

My husband and I chose this restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner. It was wonderful! Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable, the setting was beautiful, and the food was great! Since this was Thanksgiving day, there was a prix fixe menu. My husband and I both chose the prime rib. Delish! more

I have eaten at Bin 36 three times over the last two years. Each and every time, the service is slow and inconsiderate. It is my opinion that this attitude in the servers is a learned behavior from the manager. We arrived on Saturday for lunch at 11:45. We were told it was OK to sit, OK to drink wine,... more
