After working another four day weekend, I was definitely ready for a weekend of fun in the city. We decided to go see a movie with friends at the theater near Park Street. Usually, we would go to dinner at Teatro but there wasn't a reservation available all weekend. In fact, there weren't many reservations available anywhere near the theater. That's when I stumbled upon a table for four at Bin 26 on Charles Street.
I'd heard of Bin 26 before, and I love Charles Street, so I was excited. The restaurant has a lounge/bar area and a dining area separated by a funky wall with a square cutout in it. The lighting in the lounge is bright and upbeat, the dining room is softer. The decor reminded me of Estragon- wine labels and bottles, soft yellows and muted reds.
The menu features a lot of options. Small plates, vegetable sides, and half/full portions of pasta. We ended up getting way more food than we needed- serano ham, burrata, four of the vegetables, and pastas. Everything was so delicious, especially my clam and sausage pizza. We also ordered a bottle of wine, recommended by our waiter, and it was so good! I'm not usually one to chase after a bottle of red at the wine store but we've been pursuing this wine ever since our visit.
I loved everything about this restaurant. The food was perfect, the atmosphere great, and the location ideal. Charles Street is so fun and after dinner you could easily get to the Omni Parker or Liberty Hotel. I love that it's fancy without being fancy. We've been talking about going back since the day after our first visit.
