"0"^^ . "I consider myself (probably wrongly) an upscale diner. I love experiencing new restaurants (with the help of Yelp - yeah!). I went to Binks with three other people at their suggestion. To put it simply -- I just don't get it. \n\nWe ordered many different small dishes to share -- BBQ ribs, bone marrow, sweetbreads. For a main course, I got the steak but tried the duck and polenta. We also got several different veggies side dishes -- carrots, asparagus. \n\nWe also ordered a couple desserts and I had a couple bites of the smores sundae.\n\nOverall I thought the food just wasn't that great. The best thing was the polenta (which unfortunately I didn't order). The steak was okay but I've made better at home. The sides dishes were average to poor. The smores dessert was tasty but was basically an undercooked brownie.\n\nI saw in another review that the water they serve at the table is excellent -- very true but I wouldn't eat somewhere for the water.\n\nJust too hipster and the food just wasn't good enough. Best part of the meal -- it was free for me -- my friend paid. Just not my cup of tea."^^ . "1"^^ . "2014-05-09T00:00:00"^^ . . . "3"^^ . . "2"^^ .
