Ms Stolpman, Sorry to horn in on your review, but I can't find any other way to contact you. I was hoping you might care to renew ties. Your pal (I hope), Adam

I prefer the Bin Cafe location on Milwaukee, if only because the atmosphere is a bit more intimate and less upscale. Same great wine and food, totally different vibe.

I love this place. Once, when I went there, they accidentally spilled an entire flight of red wine on my friend and I. However, their response to the mistake was so professional and so perfect, that it almost made she and I want to go back there more often. Honestly, I've never been to a restaurant where an honest mistake, albeit a hugely embarrassing one, was handled with such grace.

I can't drink too much wine, it makes my urine smell funny.

I just happened to meet a friend there who was in from out of town and we had drinks and a surprisingly nice dinner. Big place though and a convention in town led to really poor service. But they were polite about how long everything took.

Thanks, Anthony! I didn't realize they had 1/2 glasses - that's a great bit of information! Laura

Bin 36 is one of my favorite places in Chicago - great review. I also love that they have 1/2 glasses of wine.
