It's more than the food, it's the experience. Chef Joe and Josh were interesting to watch how much care and passion they put into their food. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and the service was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back. A must is the shallot appetizer. I almost thought about ordering it for dessert because it was so good. And a nice wine selection. We do not eat meet, but the lamb chop (I think) he was preparing looked incredible. Our trout was delicious and so was the ravioli appetizer. Highly recommend and will return. Strongly suggest reservations. read more

It's really impressive how this small place with the tiniest kitchen is able to put out such amazing food that rivals some of the best in the area. This little gem is St Pete's best kept culinary secret! Seating is exceptionally limited...literally 1 communal table and the chef's table (seats 6) which is actually the bar, where if you are lucky enough to score a reservation, is the best seat of all because you can interact with the kitchen and watch them in action. I almost didn't want to post this review, tempted to keep this one to myself! read more

An outstanding restaurant with the creative cuisine! All the dishes were top notch! Summer roll was refreshing and had a lovely balance of flavors. My husband adored his soup dumpling! My shallot tatin was a star-appetizer with a very thin crust of Pâte brisée ( all butter pastry) and a very intense presence of shallots. For main dishes, we ordered rabbit and duck. My rabbit was delicious, the fermented giardiniera complemented perfectly the cooked sous-vide rabbit. My husband's duck was tender and full of flavors , the garlic hummus and chickpeas were the perfect side for the duck. We finished our fantastic dinner with the mango dessert and a lovely port wine as digestive. This restaurant provides the unique opportunity to observe the chef's cooking from the bar area. That creates an intimate atmosphere of the unique experience. Our chef and sommelier were incredible, welcoming and personal. I highly recommend this unique experience! Cannot wait to be back! read more

The food was fabulous and we loved the personal service. We look forward to dining at Bin 6 South again!

Bin 6 South is a small and intimate restaurant. To me, it had a very home style feeling in decor, but also a little farm chic. They do have a bar which seats like 6 people and then a large table for family styled table for communal eating. We dined in and sat at the large table with other guests. Every single item we ordered on the menu was absolutely fantastic in flavor, plating, and execution. I would highly recommend this restaurant, you will not regret eating here. A lot of the menu items were gluten-free as well when I dined in. read more

WOW, the best meal I've had in a long time. I'd say this is my top 3 favorite restaurant. Everything about it was amazing from the food and service. I want to back already lol. It is pretty small and that's what makes it so special. I highly recommend sitting at the bar so you can see how they make the food in action! Must get the duck. Even if you don't like duck, this will change your mind but overall enjoyed all the dishes. 10/10!!! What I ordered: - BREAD: HOUSEMade Potato roll & FOCACCIA, charred carrot BUTTER with cured egg yolk - MARINATED OLIVES: citrus zest, chili, rosemary, oregano, olive oil - BIN BOARD: FOUR HORS D'OEUVRES WITH SEASONAL PARINGS - Oyster mushrooms: King and blue oyster mushrooms, black garlic bechamel, watermelon radish and enoki musroom salad, sourdough crackers - Seared duck breast: walnut Milk Muhamara, beet mutabbal, celery root, Mixed Grains, wilted herbs - Carrot Souffle read more

This is by far one of the most amazing hidden gems in St Pete Bay Area! Super cozy only 12 people sitting at any given night. Chef is just super enthusiastic and creative! Ambiance cozy friendly hip! Food outstanding wine very good! Overall top tier! read more

You guys don't have to go to a fancy resto, this is a small resto yet very solemn--it a nice to have an intimate dinner date here. I know parking is tight but hey you can always find parking and you guys have to try their food. I do recommend this resto . read more

Service, 5 stars. The one server/hostess and the chef were incredibly friendly and outgoing. Food, 3 stars, at best. You walk into the place and it is tiny. So tiny that my friend and I first thought we accidentally walked into their storage unit. But nope, this is the restaurant. One table of 6, and a counter that seated 6 people is all the seating available. At lunch on a Saturday we were the only ones in there, and we sat at the counter. Since I was torn between 2 items, my friend suggested we split both of them, and order a side of bread. Thank goodness for the bread, because the miso butter it was served with was my favorite thing I ate. The two items we split were a crab appetizer and a pulled pork sandwich. The crab appetizer for $26 was tasty, but very small. I ordered the sauce on the side, and I'm glad I did, because while flavorful, it would have totally overpowered the flavor of the crabmeat. The sandwich took a surprisingly long time. We finished the app and kept waiting and waiting. When it was served, it was the sandwich with 2 pickles. For $22. At that price I would have thought a little side could have been provided. This was my least favorite thing. The pork had minimal flavor and was so finely chopped it was almost a pork salad. The bread it was served on broke immediately upon pick up, and had been grilled for so long it was overly dry and crumbly. Again, the people working there were so lovely, but the food experience was in no way, shape or form five stars. If you are into wine tastings, I would definitely check them out; I think this is where they shine. Otherwise, expect to pay $40 for lunch and leave hungry. read more

My husband and I stopped into Bin 6 South for the first time just for a glass of wine and an appetizer, and it immediately made an impression. The leek appetizer was absolutely incredible--simple, thoughtful, and packed with flavor. We came back for the Black & White Affair chef's dinner, and it exceeded every expectation. The main protein was chicken, which I would typically avoid since it's something you can get anywhere--but every dish completely changed my perspective. It was one of the most creative, adventurous, and genuinely delicious meals I've had. Nancy is an absolute asset. Her wine pairings were spot-on, and her service elevated the entire experience--attentive, knowledgeable, and always at ease. We are officially raving fans and can't wait to come back. read more

Excellent food and service Very unique selection of wine. Love trying new wines. My Caesar salad was topped with anchovies and cured egg yolk shavings. The lettuce is grown in their garden. Delicious creamy dressing. And topped with cubed potatoes. Definitely recommend this. My friend loved her crudo snapper with fresh edible flowers also from their garden. I ordered the Spanish red wine. I really enjoyed it, it paired great with my meal. Since my friend ordered fish, the brut she ordered was perfect. We also tried for vermouth wine for dessert. I recommend adding ice to it. Cant wait to go back and try more wines and some of the desserts. Our downstairs table had a nice view of the garden. They also have upstairs patio dining options. read more

Pretty disappointed. We were planning on celebrating our 10 year anniversary here, however we got the stomach bug the morning of our reservation and tried calling (they open at 4) around 10am. Called back right after 4 saying we were not going to make it and they still charged us the cancellation fee ($50 per person). I understand people cancel last minute / no show all the time but if a couple is sick, so some grace. Sadly this has been removed from our list as a must try read more

We always love this place! Went for Valentine's Day and sat at the 6 person table and had great conversation with our new friends that we met. You can always find common ground with great food and wine! The service here is very personal and friendly. read more

This place was amazing! We made a reservation a day before, at the bar. This place is very small with only 6 seats at the bar and 6 seats at a table. The staff was inviting and welcoming. They have an extensive wine menu, by the glass, or bottle. The menu is unique and small. We ordered the bread, the lump crab and watermelon as well as the beet salad for appetizers. All were magnificent. The butter with the bread was miso butter, very interesting and delicious. The lump crab and watermelon was extremely refreshing and wonderful (it is a cold appetizer). Last but not least, that beet salad was killer, with a carrot puree, the kale chips and sauerkraut. The servers and cooks checked on us the whole meal. We got a great recommendation for an Albarino wine, that was wonderful and matched our choices. For entrees, we ordered the Spaetzle (the vegetarian dish), with a corn puree, garlic chips, zucchini and pearled onions. It was delicious. We also shared the skate, which is a white flaky local fish. It came with almonds on top and brown butter (which we skipped), it was magnificent and did not need the butter. Overall, this experience was magnificent. The server was also nice enough to give us a toast sparkling wine for my birthday. read more

Pros: the food is wonderful! The snapper was out of this world delicious. The small number of seats meant every dish was prepared small batch and with a lot of attention and care. Honestly I can not rave enough about how good the food is. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. The service was efficient. Every appetizer and entree was delicious and flavorful! Cons: two MAJOR cons. The chairs and the ambiance. The chairs at the bar felt unstable and UNCOMFORTABLE. I have an incomplete spinal injury and by the end of the night I was having to stand at the bar instead of sitting in the barstool. It was probably THE most uncomfortable chair I've ever sat in at a sit down restaurant. I might have been able to handle an uncomfortable chair, even with my spinal injury, but combined with how creaky and unstable they felt, every time I shifted in my seat to try and make my back feel better, I thought I was going to break the chair. Overall I would recommend Bin 6. The food was good enough to outweigh the poor seating situation! However, I would not recommend sitting at the bar unless they fix the seating. And if they did that--this place would rival Michelin star restaurants. read more

We came here for the first time after waiting way too long, this is their last weekend open. It makes us sad that we can't return bc this would have been a staple! Small intimate environment with great personalized service. Go while you can!!! read more

Last week, we decided to check out the new wine bar in St Pete, Bin 6 South. A buddy mentioned they had went and absolutely loved the place, so we had to check it out. Bin 6 South is located in a renovated house. It is a small spot, 330 sq. ft, one 6 top table, and 6 seats at the bar overlooking the chef & kitchen. They have a impressive wine selection and also have a selection of sake. We made reservations for the one large table and arrived at 6 pm. We were greeted and seated by Danielle. She took great care of us throughout the evening. I am a bit picky when it comes to wine, and she knew exactly what to select. We ordered a few bottles of wine and a few apps to start. We chose the bone marrow, roasted red pepper soup, bin board, honey charred eggplant, & snapper crudo. For our mains, we went with the lamb shank, duck confit glass noodles, and the salmon. Our apps came out and they all looked phenomenal. The roasted red pepper soup had a great richness and depth of flavor. The snapper crudo had a beautiful presentation and was very much enjoyed. The stracciatella cheese on the bin board was a table favorite. Honey roasted eggplant surprised me and the bone marrow was good. All the apps were on point. Our mains came out shortly after we finished our apps. Again, everything was well above average. The crispy duck skin with the glass noodles was a treat. The lamb shank served over couscous was excellent and the pickled veggies were the perfect contrast. I didn't get to try the salmon, but it seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed. After dinner, we decided we couldn't leave without trying some dessert. We went with a chocolate cake and lime custard. We also ordered some dessert wine, tokaji. The chocolate cake was served with a mix of berries and some iridescent chocolate. It looked as good as it tasted. The lime in the coconut dessert was my favorite. It was lime curd served under coconut meringue with a coconut crumble. I just couldn't get enough of it. Overall, we were very impressed with our visit to Bin 6 South. The food was absolutely incredible, the service was perfect, and the wine selection had me wanting more. This is a great new addition to St Pete and I would definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Bin 6 was my favorite dining experience while visiting Tampa, Florida from New York. Although small and intimate, the restaurant packs a mighty punch in terms of service, food, and wine selections. There were 6 of us, and we took the only table in the restaurant (which seated 6!). Sarah, our server, was so sweet and joyful, and we enjoyed hearing her explanations of items, especially those that contained vegetables from their garden outside and upstairs. The menu wasn't super extensive, but everything on it was extremely good; nothing tasted subpar. My husband noted that he felt Bin 6 could be a Michelin restaurant or at least Michelin recommended, and that's saying a lot given that we've visited a few, including Jungsik in New York (3 starred Michelin). The lamb was sooo tender, and the duck super flavorful. I'm not a huge dessert person, but other members of my family are, and they devoured them. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Bin 6 and can't wait to visit again! read more

Fantastic find, the best place in downtown St Pete that I have tried in many a moon. Fantastic selection of wine. Our party of four came on a Saturday for dinner and the food was amazing, literally the best food I've had in the Tampa area, especially St Pete in a long time despite all the new places that have opened up in the past year. It's way better than the Michelin star restaurant in Tampa that I tried a few months ago, not the Asian place or the Italian place, the other one. They have one communal table that seats six and six chairs at the bar that face the kitchen, and it's a small kitchen, I'm surprised at the quality of food that comes out of that kitchen which reminds me of my small apartment kitchen I had when I lived in NYC many years ago. The menu varies a little depending on when you go and is seasonal but generally several appetizers, 3 entrees, 3 desserts and a page of wines, although they have an extensive list that you can choose from as well. We had the bin board, olives and crudo, all great. Entrees included the gnocchi, venison saddle and trout from the Faroe Islands. The gnocchi was perfect, the venison I could not get enough of the trout was superb. We then tried each of the desserts which included lime in coconut - lime custard inside of coconut cream, almost like key lime pie without the crust, some chocolate 3 ways dish and some cake dish. It was all very good. Note, you have two hours to eat dinner we had reservations at 7 and around 9:15 they let us know that the 9pm guests were waiting outside, but they were very nice about it. They also serve lunch and brunch on the weekends and they have wine tastings on Monday nights. They also offer wine and dinner events every so often. Most definitely will be back. read more

LITERALLY OBSESSED!!!!!! I'm almost not wanting to post this because I want to come here everyday and have it all to myself haha ... but these guys deserve so much credit for what they've envisioned and then created. The staff and ownership is so relatable, conversational , passionate it was so refreshing .. we felt like old friends . They were so compassionate about their craft it was inspiring . They have an in house som. The curated by the glass and by the bottle list is incredible . The menu is like out of this world for food and changes often due to inspiration and what is fresh locally ... I mean the owners son catches the fish with his commercial boat. HOW COOL IS THAT!? They are also launching a local delivery service for their wine . Which is like the most convenient thing ever . Who doesn't want wine at their door ... The ambiance is freaking adorable AND THEY BUILT IT OUT WITH THEIR OWN HANDS!!! Overall absolutely incredible experience we even brought two bottles of wine home to enjoy . Hands down my fave new spot and will be a regular ... so if you're reading this Bin 6 South, expect me back! read more

The best! I go every time I possibly can because it's bougie in the best way! Their food beats Michelin star restaurant food. The ingredients are high-end, the flavors are gourmet, and the presentation is really nice. I can't believe the prices are as low as they are because I would pay double for their quality. The servers are like long-time best friends, outgoing, friendly, and they give good advice. My only wish is for it to be bigger so I can bring all my friends. read more

Husband and I stopped in for lunch & enjoyed their Chef's choice Crudo which was really creamy and the trout was super fresh.

A small restaurant with two seating areas. One at bar and a table in front of the window. Each area seats six people. It also looks like there is three cycles/sittings per night. Very clean all around including the restrooms which were located behind the restaurant. Three of us sat at the bar. It was a great choice giving us the opportunity to directly engage with the servers and chef. We asked several questions about their professional history and backgrounds. How they come up with new menus. We tried three wines before we found one we all enjoyed. Everyone was very generous with their time and wine which helped make it a very memorable experience. The staff to customer ratio was about 1 to 2 the night we visited. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical of Bin 6 upon walking in given the size of the kitchen and equipment, but the food was timed well and very good. Although, one of the dishes was a little bit salty for my taste. I also found the presentation lacking a bit, but that's just a personal preference. Admittedly, I came here a couple months ago, but recently found my review while reviewing Notes on my phone where a usually capture the highlights of places I've been. I didn't want to miss a this opportunity to brag about a very good experience and restaurant that is really close to reaching my highest rating. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Incredible experience. This restaurant is built with 2 seating areas that are communal and serve each hour on the hour in the evening. Truly remarkable elevated dishes that are created with the interest of both art, taste and delicacies. Come with the mindset that you're going to meet and potentially talk to new people. It's a fun and friendly experience. I felt like I was invited to a warm friend's home for a chef prepared meal. My wife and I have never experienced anything like this. It's evident how much care and effort goes into a night here. 100% will recommend this to all of my family and friends when they are in town. read more

Wow - I'm not sure how I've missed this place in the one and a half years since they opened, but I've been missing out! I stopped in after seeing them pop up on Yelp and, always on the lookout for a solid wine bar, I had to stop in. First impression was that this place was tiny but elegant, giving off a European enoteca vibe. As a wine bar, this would be a solid addition to St. Pete's growing wine scene - their list is European focused but also has a strong selection of interesting new world wines. If you're looking for Caymus or Meiomi, look elsewhere. I tried a Mâconnais Chardonnay and an Austrian Blauburgunder that were both delicious from the BtG menu but they had an impressive bottle list too. But to call Bin6South a wine bar is to sweep aside the quality and complexity of their food offerings. What their chefs are managing to accomplish in a very small prep kitchen is beyond impressive. I had the black bass crudo to start, which perfectly highlighted the fish with an excellent balance of flavors and textures. I then had the Bahn Mi sandwich, which was equally complex and delicious. The restaurant is small (seats about 12 people) so the service is inherently intimate and the staff was very welcoming. While I was there, they were going through a random state inspection, which likely impacted service times a bit but the chef and servers handled it with grace and expediency, I will definitely be adding them to my DTSP rotation and encourage everyone to check them out (though be prepared to wait a bit or make reservations for busy times)! read more

Such a cool little spit to grab a bite to eat and some wine. Bin 6 south is a small wine bar/restaurant that was once a house. Very quaint cute place. You can sit outside in the chairs and drink a glass of wine or dine at the 6 seater communial table or sit at one of the 6 seats at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar since we didn't make reservation for the table. The bar gave us a front row seat to how the food is prepared, which allowed us to ask the chef questions and have amazing service. Since the space is small you see that a lot of prep work is done ahead of time and very organized! We decided to order the Bin board, the bone marrow and lime in the coconut. The Bin board had pimento cheese on homemade pork rinds, salmon rachlette, seasoned watermelon with dried cherries, kumquats on top of whipped ricotta, homemade bread and butter pickles and Stracciatella. Everything was really good ,the stracciatella was a little salty on top but once we got into it, it was delicious and creamy. I think my favorite was the watermelon dish, it was so refreshing. It was the first time my friend and I have ever had bone marrow. I enjoyed the sauces that came with it, an orange gel, Calabria Chili Crema and Herb Gremolata and the homemade crostini. The dessert was amazing, lime curd with merange, sprinkled roasted coconut and sugar glass .I'm not a big key lime fan but the way this was presented each was my own combo so I could have more merange to balance out the lime curd. I love everything about Bin 6, the tasty well seasoned , creative food to the great knowledgeable and friendly staff to the adorable ambiance and last but not least the tasty bubbles and wine selection read more

This bowl is a work of art. It's colorful and contains all necessary ingredients for a well balanced bowl. The duck was salty but the greens and noodles balanced it out. It feels like you walk into home when you're here. The owners make you feel like family and the food is fresh and comes out quick. The ambiance is cute. It is a VERY SMALL restaurant, but I tried this a couple years ago. They may have more space now, but I'm sure the reservations are still limited. Overall, a 4.65/5. read more

Bin 6 South - Duck Breast Bowl - Wine Bars Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

My partner and I are always looking for the best restaurants in any city. We really thought Il Ritorno was the best-of-the-best in St Pete but I'll be damned if Bin 6 South didn't gave them a run for their money--leaving me confused and now with two favorite restaurants in the city. Bin 6 South isn't a restaurant experience. It's going to a favorite family member's home for the holidays. The food is excellent, the wine is flowing, there is chatter among the staff and patrons as if we've all known each other for years! We sat at the common table with two other couples and even made a reservation to meet them back next month. When they left, we moved to the bar where I picked the Chef's brain and the other staff members explained the passion project creating Bin 6 South was. We ended up trying everything on the menu plus all of the featured items for the evening. It was all phenomenal. We even had to ask for more Cracklins with pimento cheese from the Bin Board, two wasn't enough! The roasted red pepper soup was a revelation. It's smokiness and velvety texture made me was to swim in it, tell it all my hopes and fears, my dreams, my worries. The greatest worry of all may be never again having said soup. Because that's the thing at Bin 6 South, the menu changes! And there are only 12 seats in the restaurant. Six at the common table and six at the bar overlooking the tiny yet warm and functional kitchen. You never know what's going to happen, who you'll meet, or what you'll eat but I guarantee you'll leave with a full tummy and a great story. read more

Bin 6 South - Menu and view from open kitchen bar seats. - Wine Bars Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

What a cute "little" place!! It's very small, only holds 12 people, which I did not pick up on on Yelp. It also didn't mention that the menu changes every 2 months so all the dishes we were anxious to try, and convinced us to pick this restaurant, were no longer being served. That being said, if you go there knowing what to expect it's a unique and delicious experience. You definitely get one on one service and it's fun to interact with the owners and get educated on their business model and the impressive 300+ bottles of wine they stock. My only advice to them would be to update their menu pictures seasonally so the experience matches the expectation. read more

Dinner tonight was spectacular!! We started with the fresh marinated olives with citrus zest and homemade bread with miso whipped butter. Wow - great start!! Then poached shrimp and jumbo asparagus with buckwheat miso and tarragon oil. Incredible!! My favorite of the evening was the asparagus. Main was Snapper with fennel salad. My husband ordered The Lime in the Coconut for dessert. I'm not usually a fan of meringue but this dessert had brûléed Swiss meringue (really silky) outside, lime curd inside, covered with toasted coconut. We ate every bit. We topped off dinner with a nice bottle of Chilean wine. Loved the cosy atmosphere and intimate setting. The staff was charming and kept us engaged with every course... Definitely our new favorite!! read more

Bin 6 South - Wine Bars Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

my friends and I went to Bin6 and sat at the chef's bar. chef Joe is so passionate about his food it shows through his menu.

This was our first time visiting #Bin6South after hearing about this restaurant from associates. We had an amazing experience. Starting with the opportunity to sit at the bar and watch the chef work. We learned about the foods being prepared and why some ingredients were chosen for the special dishes. We were amazed at how adept the chef is in the tight kitchen space while sharing it with the personable staff. After woofing down the bread with miso butter appetizer, we each had the duck entree which was exceptional, a tasty Chilean red that enhanced the duck, per the suggestions of the waitstaff, and shared a carrot soufflé for dessert that put us over the edge and in a very good way! We will definitely return for the ambience, free flow of conversation, and the great food and service. read more

Came here for a friends birthday and honestly, the best thing about it all is probably the service..we ordered the whole menu (it's very limited) and nothing wowed us. The duck was probably the only thing we all agreed was good but the rest of the food was just average. Wasn't bad but wasn't good. We actually went to doc fords after for oysters because we just weren't satisfied here. read more
