  • We dined at Binkley's last night and it was fantastic. Possibly one of the best restaurant meals I have ever had. I am a pretty picky eater - I don't like raw tuna, fishy fish, fatty meats, or eggs. Plus, we do not eat pork. As a result, though I was really excited about trying this restaurant, I was still a little nervous about liking the food. I needn't have worried -- this restaurant is very high concept, but very approachable. There were four diners and we selected the five courses with wine pairings because we wanted to try everything. Under that approach, you get a cold appetizer, hot appetizer, fish, meat/poultry, cheese or dessert. That said, we actually had a total of 17 different plates!!!! Before we even ordered, the fantastic wait staff began bringing us goodies. When we tried to identify a favorite this morning, it was truly difficult because everything was so delicious. And playful! And cool! The menu changes here everyday, which is exciting and disappointing, too, because there are things I would defnitely like to try again. But when I think about it, I suppose it is no big deal because I can't wait to see what Kevin Binkley comes up with next time. Also, I mentioned that we do not eat pork. The kitchen went out of their way to make sure that we received alternative or modified dishes if pork was involved. Only once did they forget and bring us a plate with pork on it -- but the waiter realized it before we did and quickly apologized and brought us something else (the vegetarian option that time). Now that's thoughtful! Some of the cooler plates were the lava lamp shooters -- a shot glass filled with mint water and small chocolate balls placed on top of a stand that flashes different colored lights up the glass. Or the small puffed pastry with a minute egg yolk. Or the beautiful okra flowers with a sweet and hot dipping sauce. Or the absolutely delectable butternut squash soup (perhaps my favorite). Or the little piece of fried chicken on my poulet rouge plate (also served with braised leg and a baked breast piece). Or the apple soup with peanut dust on the rim of the tiny cup it is served in -- we literally watched diners licking the dust off the rim! I cannot wait to return! (Also, they called me today to make sure we enjoyed our experience -- who does that?!)
