Hadn't eaten at Bin 100 in quite some time. Thought we'd give it a try again to see if it was still good. Well, I have to say that it was even better than we remembered!!! The menu was extensive enough to satisfy everyone! Everything that we ordered was beautifully served and very delicious! I have to add that our server, James, was absolutely fantastic! He turned a very good meal into an incredible dining experience! He was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive (without being overbearing) and very professional! The ambiance was enjoyable....comfortable, upscale decor and quiet enough that we could actually hold a conversation during dinner! All in all, Bin 100 was wonderful....food, service, ambiance! We won't wait so long to come back again!
