I am a fussy eater. I am a vegetarian. I am a serious cook. When I dine out, I want fresh veggies served in interesting ways I have not thought to do myself. (Sigh) I am hard to please.
I was ELATED with my meal at Binks Midtown. I am now officially a fan.
Along with a friend visiting from California, I went to Binks this weekend. I ordered the veggie paella. Friend ordered the pork belly. We split the acorn small plate. We also split the chocolate mousse type dessert.
Our meals were, quite simply, DELICIOUS.
We each ordered the tap wine. Friend had the white. I had the red, which was a Tuscan style blend. Both of us loved our wines.
The rest of the story -- the ambience, the staff's professionalism...the Scene -- were spot on. I would describe it as High End Casual. Or, put another way, FUN. Which is why you are going out to dinner anyway. Right?!
