Bin 555

Bin 555's website is under construction so there's not much there but their address and a few pictures of their incredible food, but take it from an eye/mouth witness: Incredible. They serve tapa style plates at very reasonable prices and they just keep getting better as the meal progresses. Here's a rundown by memory so if something looks funny it's my brain misremembering like Roger's pal:

Serrano ham wrapped dates w/blue cheese
baba ganoush
field green salad w/ candied pecans, goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette
zucchini/squash w/mint
Milanese asparagus spears topped with a fried egg (! Yes!) and either parmesan or peccorino cheese
Salmon over a tomato compote with chorizo
Braised pork belly on lavender compote and parsnip puree (OUR FAVORITE, HANDS DOWN)
Spanish almond cake
Dark chocolate tort
French pressed coffee

I woke up remembering it. We sat near a window that overlooked their extensive wooden deck and outdoor fireplace and some of the shops of Artisan Alley. They have an extensive wine list, full bar, and are expert at pairing wines with dishes.

One of those places we wasted far too long getting to. The staff was as good as the food.
