Sounded and Looked Better Than It Was- Not ALL Bad Though! – The risotto saffron balls were okay- not very hot and not very interesting. Literally you get two on a plate with some arugula in the middle with some olive oil drizzled (not much flavor across the whole plate). The mushroom and cheese bruschetta was pretty good but it was served cold (although the cheese had been melted)...probably would have been better served warm! The scallop dish was fantastic! Desserts were okay- their version of Tiramisu was good (it was in ... read more
Incredible wine selection, but that's about it – A friend and I went there for dinner this past Friday. We found the overall ambiance and decor of the place very charming - hundreds of bottles of wine on display and the back wall covered in wine labels - but were otherwise unimpressed. Our server seemed unable to appreciate the middle ground between rushing us to make a decision and ignoring us. When asked for wine suggestions, she would point out the one bottle on the menu that was of the same varietal mentioned suggested s... read more
relaxed and welcoming – Having been to Bin 26 numerous times over about a two-year period, I was surprised by the lackluster reviews it has received from several patrons. I have never had a bad meal or an unpleasant personal exchange in this cozy place. My first experience was as a single walk-in guest on a Friday night when the joint was packed. Given that I had been through a long workday followed by a long walk on a blustery winter night, I probably looked like a tumbleweed with a purse, but the host immediately and graci... read more
Stylish Italian Experience – We went here on a busy Friday night and got a great table for two in the back. The place is on the small side, and the decor is basically supplied by the large amount of wine bottles, corks and lables. Our server was extremely nice and attentive, with food coming out at a great pace. The menu does not provide an extensive list of options but does have a good range of tastes and prices. The carapacio was very good, as were the gnocci. By far though the best thing we had was the wild boar bacon fuc... read more
terrible experience – We read a nice review about ?Bin 26? and decided to go there for Mother?s Day. IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES WE EVER HAD. We ordered a whole wheat Fettucini dish and got some completely undercooked pasta. It felt like eating flour. If you don?t like raw pasta don?t go there because the only thing we heard from the manager was that ?this is the way we usually serve our pasta here?. As a courtesy, they took one of the two pasta dishes off the check which we thought was nice. However, minutes later t... read more
Finally! – Astonishingly complex, exciting wine list (ask for Andy if you need help), complemented by a carefully chosen, sophisticated menu clearly aimed at connoisseurs. An authentic "enoteca" (unfortunately you can't buy the wine to take home since Mass. law doesn't allow it) not a wine bar. I only know of one restaurant in Italy (Aimo e Nadia in Milan) with a comparable wine list. If you don't know how to pair the food to the wine, the fabulous wait-staff seems always enthusiastic to help. They seem to be constantly addi... read more
Nice wine, possibly served in a dirty glass. – An interesting wine list, but a more interesting way of determing if the wine glass could be used again. Instead of removing all glasses after the first customers left, the busboy removed only those clearly used. He then lifted each of the remaining glasses to his nose, sniffed, and then made the determination that the glass could be used for the next customer. Frankly, I like to see all glasses and silverware removed after the diners leave, I know that the "sniffing" could be d... read more
Very nice experience, considering.... – As visitors to Boston, two friends and myself happened upon Bin 26 one afternoon after discovering that Figs down the street closes between lunch and dinner. I was apprehensive as it looked to be a bit too chi chi, since we were looking for just a bite and some drinks (we had been walking all day and looked hot and bedraggled). To our surprise, the host was very inviting and the wait staff was extremely eager to assist. Of course, there's the excellent wine list (it's as thick as a tex... read more
Not Impressed – When this place opened up around the corner from my apartment, my girlfriend really wanted to try it. So the improper bostonian writes a piece about it, and it seems like it was a positive review, so we made a reservation to try it out. Bad idea. Service: We were seated by the host, and after waiting for over 10 minutes, he finally came back and offered us water... Then after another 10 minutes or so, the waiter came over and asked us if we were ready to order... Perhaps a wine bar should discuss wine? We wer... read more
