Bin 14

My girlfriend and I tried out Bin 14 this past Saturday night and had a really nice time. This in a nutshell is my kind of place. Great wines, delicious small bites, pizza, not overly expensive, intimate tables and rustic, yet chic décor. This newcomer at 14th and Washington is equal parts cozy wine bar and hip meeting spot. Not only does this nook serve up small dishes and thin crust pizzas from the wood burning oven, but there is a very informed wine sommelier that helped me pick the perfect Spanish Chardonnay. I loved it.

Chelsea and I split two light bites—one lobster salad bruschetta and one pumpkin bruschetta—and both were delicious, but be warned - TINY. Each of us got one bite of each after cutting them in half—so be advised—if you’re going for dinner, you might want to go ahead and order whole menu :)

We sat at the bar, and loved the whole scene. The place was already packed (in a good way) and the restaurant was very gala and abuzz with conversation. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a nice, low key tasteful date. Actually, if anybody is interested…
