text: One month Why did not I follow my one month rule I usually wait a month after a restaurant opens up before going there for dinner but I have not been to Binkleys or Cafe Bink before With all the great things I heard I had to go to Binks Midtown as soon as I could I regretted itnnMy girlfriend and I went on a Saturday night and waited to talk to the hostess We waited a while and I started to see what was happening up front The guy ahead of me said hey what is going on do we have a table or should i wait outside what do you want me to do they finally told him his table was ready nnMy turn came up and I sat there for minutes watching them take one page after another and clip them together Why did not they do this before hand We were seated right next to the front door but I would have rather been in the more inviting living room At least I was not seated outside where it was freezingnnOur water came out promptly but we waited minutes before the server came We ordered a carafe of wine and waited another minutes before that came outnnService aside I was excited by the menu We ordered the beets leeks risotto mussels parsnip soup sweetbreads beignets squash and brussel sprouts The waiters eyes went a little wide and he grabbed the table next to us to make more room Five minutes later the hostess came by and asked if we were expecting more people and why we did not tell them I felt offended that they thought I pulled over a table and did not say anything to them I explained the situation they paused and he walked awaynn minutes later yes minutes later our food finally arrived Of course as they were putting the food on the table they knocked over a glass of wine on to my girlfriend She somehow ninjaed her way from getting anything spilled on her The worse of it all though was she had to ask different people to replace her glass of winennThe food was some highs and lows The foei gras donuts and mussels were okay The leaks beets and risotto were great We especially loved the cheeks in the leaksnnOverall though I just was not happy with the place The service was horrible and the staff had no energy or personality With all the waits we endured I just cannot recommend this place to anyone at allnnWhats worse is I give the valet my ticket and watch him almost stall out my car or times while trying to back upnnMy two cents Stay away for a few months Maybe then things will get better
