Kevin Binkley is a great chef and while he may not necessarily be cooking your meal at one of his restaurants, his staff is well-trained and stocked with great fresh ingredients.
This was my first visit to this location and I sat at the bar. I started with a cup of the butternut squash soup. It was excellent and flavored with bits of apples, cranberries and walnuts to give it a little crunch and an extra layer of flavor.
My entree was the duck breast. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The port vinaigrette sauce paired perfectly with the rest of the dish.
My only complaint was that the bartender needed some help. He was very capable but couldn't keep up with the bar crowd. Again, this isn't a knock on him, but if he had some help he could take the time to engage the customers a little more and refill drinks a little faster.
I'm glad Bink's Scottsdale is here in town.
