Bin 36 Review

This hip hybrid—fine-dining establishment, lively wine bar, and fine cheese purveyor—serves wine and cheese any way you want it. For wine, that's by the bottle, glass, half glass, and as flights of multiple 2½-ounce tastings. For cheese, that's by the sample or flight. Or it's used as an ingredient, as in the gougères that come drizzled with truffle honey. The menu similarly encourages sampling, with lots of small-plate grazing choices. Contemporary entrées, such as braised lamb shank and ahi tuna with ratatouille, are helpfully listed with wine recommendations. An all-glass west wall and 35-foot ceilings lend loft looks to the sprawling space, which can be noisy. Nonetheless, it's a good choice for group gatherings, and, since it's open all day, between-standard-mealtime nibbles.
