| - I went out with my family to celebrate my birthday. I picked Cafe Bink because we think we're kind of "foodies" and I'd heard Binkley's was amazing but a little too expensive. So, I thought we'd try Cafe Bink instead....
We went on a Sunday night at 7:30 and there wasn't a wait. We picked our table on the patio and the weather and music outside was perfect. Although it is a little close to the street it was still really nice.
I didn't catch our server's name but he was FANTASTIC. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does. Very friendly and fun!
There were four of us. For appetizers we ordered the baby order of fries (of course, based on everyone's reviews), the mozzarella, and the country pate. My dad really wanted the pate. The three of us tried it - not bad. Wouldn't order it again but my dad really liked it. Was expecting the mozzarella to be great but it was just okay. Maybe we're too used to the standard flavor/texture of the typical mozzarella served in most caprese salads. This was pretty flavorless and kind of a chewy texture. I prefer the stuff I'm used to, I guess. But, the french fries were amazing. My dad wouldn't stop talking about them. And the truffle ketchup was good too. But, I might have preferred regular ketchup, too. The other sauces were just okay.
We (me, my brother and his wife) were already getting full so skipped the salads but my dad wanted one. So, we sat and enjoyed being on the patio while he enjoyed his caesar salad. He said it was great (not to heavy on the anchovy) and ate every last bite.
On to the entrees - my brother got the bolognese/polenta and said it was really good (but heavy). He didn't finish it all but took it home. My sister-in-law and I split the chicken picatta. It was WONDERFUL. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and the pasta (homemade) was great. I could have eaten a huge bowl of just the pasta. Plus, the perfect size - we each got a big piece of chicken. Then, my dad got the ribs. He said they were great, too and ate every last bite.
For dessert my brother wanted the donuts (AMAZING - especially with the cream dipping sauce), I ordered the chocolate souffle (AMAZING) and the three little ice cream sandwiches (one vanilla/chocolate chip cookie, one mint/chocolate cookie and one honey/gingersnap cookie). They were good too but definitely the donuts and the souffle are the way to go.
My next time there I'm definitely getting a glass of wine, the chicken picatta for myself and the chocolate souffle and I'd be a very happy girl!
Would highly recommend it......
