| - Great little restaurant up north in Carefree. Not a ton of inside seating, but they have a pretty good sized patio to make up for it. We were greeting by one of the servers at the door and were told we'd have about a 15 to 20 minute wait. She brought us a bottle of wine, and made sure to clear some room for us at the bar the instant it became available while we were waiting.
The menu wasn't large but all the entrees looked amazing. There weren't really many light, healthy options to choose from though. (other than salads) We started off with the Gnocchi appetizer while waiting at the bar, it was good but I'd probably go with something else next time.
For dinner we had: the scallops, which were amazing; the fig and goat cheese salad, which was very good; and the salmon, which was also very good.
The downside of Bink is that it's pretty expensive. Most of the entrees are $20+. I definitely think the food is worth it, but the atmosphere of the place doesn't seem to really fit with the prices. It's a casual cafe type of place, but the food/prices are what you'd find at a fine dining restaurant.
I loved it, the service was excellent, food was great, etc. But I'm not sure if I'd go back. If I wanted a more scaled down cafe, I'd probably stick with Herb Box at DC Ranch or something similar, and if I wanted the fine dining experience I'd prefer to go to a more upscale restaurant (like it's namesake Binkleys for instance) instead of eating at Cafe Bink.
Also, they only take reservations for parties of 5 or more.
