Bin No. 18

Great spot– ate here with two friends on a Friday night. I bet it gets busy because of its proximity to the concert hall, but it was quiet and comfortable when we were there. Delicious food and friendly service!

A group of six of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here last evening. The wine offerings are impressive and staff are knowledgeable and helpful about good pairings. We shared a charcuterie and cheese platter as our appetizer. I really liked that we could choose combinations of meats and cheeses for the platter. I had the 3 — cheese ravioli which was perfection. It was prepared with brown butter sauce, toasted slivered almonds, shaved parmesan, and just the right touch of truffles. My friends also loved their entrees and salads. Kudos to the chef! The waiters were quite friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

this place made my wife and I’s weekend. All four plates were extraordinary and the service outstanding. Churrasco and brie fondido are going to make me come back for sure.

Was impressed with the meal if not the location. Artichoke carpaccio with perfectly aged Parmesan was a standout as well as the meatballs. Perfect pre-​Theater dinner.

Have had the lamb and meatballs as well as the sea scallops here. Both are ok, but the lamb meatballs were actually made better with the red wine suggested by our waiter. This is a small space made impressive with dramatic chandeliers. Overall, a nice spot but with so many wow! spots in Miami, I can only give 3 stars.

Our food was good but there are some drawbacks at B18. First, it is too loud to have a conversation across the table. Second, the fumes from the kitchen will have you smelling of food after your visit and your eyes will sting. Third, the chairs are too low and the seating position is uncomfortable when eating (and I’m 6 ft, it must be worse for shorter people).
Last, our waiter was too busy in a conversation with people who were sitting at the bar to pay attention to our repeated attempts to get his attention. I had to get up and walk over to tell him that we wanted the check. At that time only two tables were still occupied…

This is one of my favorite spots, the food is delicious, fresh ingredients and the best service!!! Joel is the best waiter. Fantastic food and great people.

Nice cozy place with amazing pasta. Seriously. It’s good. Didn’t like the wines. Although 2 for 1 at happy hour is a great deal!

Awesome awesome awesome ravioli was amazing bread before hand was yum recommend for a date night or special night

Can’t really review the food because the service was so bad we left after the app. Although the Brie was excellent, it was not serviced with any accompaniments and we had to ask for additional bread. The menu seemed to be good. It is a shame that the service was horrific.

Nice place for a date. Décor is modern rustic with dim lighting; I loved the chandeliers. Food was well prepared with really good flavor. And the service was very attentive.

Amazing place to hangout with friends, small parties and reunions, great selection of wines and food… Love the menu, the presentation is very clean… Awesome service and a great chef Alexei…

Hands down best spot for happy hour! We had many laughs, many drinks, and many apps! Service was amazing and this place has the best charm, romantic, and fun vibe. Yes, all three! Do not pass by if you are in the area.

Love this place! Small but intimate place. Each dish we ordered was exceptional and I was pleasantly surprised since it was our first visit. Great selection of wine and a fabulous selection for the cheese board…
Will definitely return often and recommend to others.

This is low key one of the best restaurants in Miami. It’s unassuming, quiet, and decoratively warm. This is one of those special spots where you’re seriously able to enjoy a romantic, intimate dinner with your special person.
Last night, the bread was brought out with chili oil (along with the usual olive oil and balsamic). That was a subtle difference, very much appreciated. Delicious. We always begin with mussels, a choice between regular or spicy broth. The spicy’s not overwhelming. The clams and chorizo is also pretty good. My boyfriend was happy to see Golden Necks. For our entrees, he orders the Cuban Melt EVERY time. My favorite is the Roasted Scottish Salmon because of the sweet potato pave. Even the salad on the plate’s worth mentioning.
Our waiter Tim was also nice enough to point out something we didn’t know. You can choose to take home the wine you’re drinking if you want to continue your night at home. Instead of the full price for a bottle, it’s 50% off. Its thoughtful details like that that make the restaurant for me.

Love this place! I always get the Rigatoni and Mussels.

The food is decent, however my main problem is with communication. I do no eat meat and asked for a pasta dish without pork. The waiter said that was fine. We received the bill and were charged $ 6 for TAKING OUT MEAT! When I inquired, he said «We charge the fee because the sauce has to be remade without the meat.» Quasi-​understandable, but when I asked why he didn’t inform me of the charge when I ordered, he said «I forgot.»
The moral is that Bin 18 charges for dietary restrictions. Won’t be returning.

BIN 18, Miami
LOCATION
Bin 18 is located in Edgewater, along Brickell Avenue, in a location that only a few years back would have been considered sketchy. While the night we were there, in the street behind it, looking for parking, it felt a bit isolated, this is an area that is really picking up quickly.
The location is also perfect, right in between Midtown and Downtown, so for tourists it should be reachable from most of places.
SERVICE
Service was very good and the waitress was both helpful and nice. We actually got to talk to her about travels, food and other stuff and it made for a really enjoyable visit.
Bin 18 has a very unpretentious look, but it’s a nice type of casual, where casual doesn’t mean also lousy over fried food, but some nicely prepared menu, with a few items that you don’t find everywhere.
FOOD
I had the bresaola dish and it was very good. Well, I love bresaola for start, but it was well prepared, well presented and the flavor was somewhat complex, but also simple; lemon and spices enhanced the bresaola meaty flavor, but did not interfere with it.
My wife hit the jackpot as well with the Clams chorizo. That dish was amazing, really tasty and well done.
We also tried the duck and truffle pâté, which was good, but not as good as the other two dishes we had.
Good wine and everything was very reasonably priced.
VALUE
Great value here, which is not something you might hear a lot when reading about Miami restaurants reviews. Moderate prices, very good food. It’s a simple and casual atmosphere, so don’t expect Miami flashy style: just expect some tasty and well prepared food, with a good and attentive service and great prices.
Final comment
Place was a winner in my book. We’ll be back, no doubt. It’s also a great place to stop at odd times, say in between lunchtime and dinnertime, just to have a small plate, some wine and relax. Glad we went!

So this little place is a hidden gem because it is located in between other restaurants and there a pizzeria which may be confused by it. As you go in it is clean and the music is not loud or over whelming. You are approached and asked to take your pick if the place is not busy; we went at 6 pm so it wasn’t.
The menu is simple and straight to the point. You wont find pages and pages of food you don’t want or understand. I had the pull pork sandwich and my partner had the churrasco well done. Omg they were both delicious, but I kept stealing pieces of meat from his plate because the churrasco has a mushroom sauce to die for and it was accompanied by a refreshing salad to clean your palate and relief the flavorful taste of the churrasco. My pull pork had a delicious melted cheese on top with a bed of arugula on the bottom. The bread was crunchy and warm.
It has happy hours were they sell two for one drinks. I would come back. Thank you Bin No 18 for a pleasant experience!

My roommate and I love coming here! Wednesday night is Ladies Night! Every night of the week they offer specials. Great location, it’s right by our building, so we can walk there. Pet friendly as well.
We wish that the restroom was a little tidier!

Solid dinner option for business travelers or anyone looking for a great meal that won’t totally bust the bank.
Ladies, free champagne came to our table on a Wednesday night! Then we (a party of 4) shared a small order of mussels, which were fresh and flavorful, grilled octopus, and lamb meatballs. For our mains, we all tried either the scallops or the Cuban sandwich, and no one was disappointed with any part of the meal.
The scallops were scrumptious! Cooked perfectly. And the Cuban sandwich looked incredible and received moans of approval. Perfectly walkable spot from the Marriott/​Doubletree, in case happy hour treats you well beforehand!

I know I’ve reviewed this place before with the same star rating, but when you CONSITANTLY have excellent serve and amazing food, it deserves another shout out! So many places only impress at first but this one never fails…
I’ve brought so many people here and every single one, without exception, has been back!
Their Bresaola and salmon tartar is excellent. Their scallops are perfectly cooked and their wine selection is divine!
All the servers are great, but Joel is just amazing as somehow he is always the one that I run into on weeknights. What a great server! Quick, knowledgeable, personable, and all around awesome!

The first time we visited was for an impromptu, after theater (second) dinner. I don’t recall which pasta dish we had, but do remember we were very pleased. We also enjoyed a nicely plated charcuterie platter. Their Cabernet Sauvignon selection was a little lacking (for what we like), but we did find a nice bottle from their list (albeit at room temperature). Granted, we drink mostly west coast wines and that doesn’t seem to be their strength. That said, the selection of other types was definitively varied and well priced.
The second time we visited was pre-​theater, but for brunch. I was surprised to find out they ONLY serve eggs benedicts. Their «Bennys» are incredibly delicious and very well made. I will happily return for more of those the next time the mood strikes.
We tried the following:
The Fat Duck: Duck confit /​drunken cranberries /​candied lemon /​turkish figs /​hollandaise
Oscar Blue: Lump crab /​garlic spinach /​bacon /​morbier cheese /​hollandaise /​scallions
The Bin: Hickory smoked pork belly /​caramelized onions /​gouda cheese /​hollandaise
Nova Lox: Fennel cured salmon lox /​watercress /​capers /​hollandaise /​scallions
In addition, we tried the bellinis, mimosas and their «pink panther» drinks. All very good.
I love the look of the restaurant. It’s dark and elegant, yet rustic and casual all at the same time. For brunch, we sat outside on a beautiful Miami cool day and it was very pleasant. They did a good job decorating this outside area and making it feel very quaint. Service has been friendly and attentive both times. If I lived in the area, this would be one of my casual weekly go-​to spots.
Solid.

This rating is only based on my first 20 minutes. Got there with the BF with the intention to enjoy a nice dinner.
We were supposed to get some bread, but the «white» gentlemen that got there after us got it first, when I asked for some the waiter kindly «winked» at me and said «it’s in the oven» SMH ! I would give this place another chance only because it’s close to my house and because of the other Unilocalers out here.
