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

My husband and I thought we'd enjoy a nice glass of wine for my birthday and perhaps a dessert. All we could think of afterward was how far the money we spent would have gone at Dairy Queen! Each of us had a paltry pour of a glass of dessert wine and a microscopic 1/4 of a puny, poached pear... more

If I were to recommend this place to a friend, I would say "go for a light lunch - cheese, wine and maybe an appetizer." My husband and I went here during our first trip to Chicago. We shared everything we ordered: cheese flight 6, the soft shell crab entree, the red hot red flight and finally the banana chocolate... more
