Diner Reviews
  • "ac was broken it was 100 degrees in he restaurant it was not a pleasant experience"
    Dined on 5/27/2014
  • "We like Bink in Scottsdale. We were not so happy in Care Free. A wait person who was having constant coughing fits at our table was some how able to drag out our brunch 45 minutes longer than we wanted or was necessary. The place was less than half full, so it wasn't like they were over worked. Once served, the food was good, but average for the prices charged. "

  • "Ambience: inside gloom "we are triple booked for outside seating". Service prompt & pleasant, but server seemed new and didn't know all menu details. Wine priced higher than most: some bottles marked up 4x over retail. Food:restaurant week prix fixe menu melon soup subtly flavored & delicious. Sole tasty but overcooked. Dessert peaches ordinary; regular menu kale vegetable special interesting but much too salty. Had the chef tasted the recipe? "You're the first person who has ordered it". Gazpacho perfectly delicious. Mussels good but sauce flavors would have been brighter with much less butter. Fries with truffle ketchup were the best offering. Chef very friendly with some tables, ignored others."

  • "Was there for restaurant week. Outside seating was very comfortable. Food was delicious and will presented. "

  • "Brought my husband here for his birthday lunch. I saw they had mussels on the menu when I went there for lunch a time before. He loves mussels and he was not disappointed."

  • "Great food ate at bar and great bartender, Mussells were delicious, pulled cheese good, as was presentation."

  • "Very tasty and relaxed - just what we were looking for!"
    Dined on 5/16/2014
  • "We went on a Friday night. The there were an average amount of clientele. Our server was very busy. We felt that she was overwhelmed with too many tables. When the food arrived it, the ribs were very small and overcooked. The fried chicken was very tasty and cooked excellently. We will try this restaurant again but it will not be on the top of our preferences."

  • "I picked Cafe Bink this year for my annual birthday dinner with my two best friends, and I have to say I'm sorry I did. The food was lovely, but the entire evening was not what I would have wished. Since this is for Open Table I'll stick to a food review. The French Fries, which we had at the bar, are to die for. For dinner we had the fried green tomato, the mussels, the salmon, and Amy's Bolognese, and for dessert we had the profiteroles -- all of which were delicious. My advice: for an optimal evening, dine early and sit outside."
    Dined on 5/16/2014
  • "Bink's is a weekly regular for us! Consistently good and the servers are always friendly and welcoming! In fact I don't like calling them server's, more like friends!~ I love the trout and the fries, my pal loves everything and changes it up all the time! "
    Dined on 5/15/2014
  • "As we've come to expect from anything Kevin Binkley does, our experience at Cafe Bink was great! We ordered from the specials menu and the regular menu and all dishes were delicious, and well-portioned. Our server remembered us from last year, which was really special, and enhanced the experience as we chatted with her throughout the meal. "

  • "Arrived on time.We specified inside,ended up outside. Not a good start to mothers day. They took the regular doughnuts off the menu. The reason mom wanted to be there. Not a good finish.Food was on slow side getting to tables. Waitress the bright spot of visit."
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "We love all of chef Binkley's restaurants and were eager to try this one. The food was good and the service was good, save for one person. We sat at the bar and had to listen to the bartender complain about several things. We came for Mother's Day, and found his manner very off putting. The bill arrived and we were charged for four Bloody Mary's and two mimosas instead of two and one. The bill was corrected but the entire event was not something we want to repeat. "

  • "Really enjoyed our lunch. Those fries are to die for. The sandwich we had was terrific but there are others I want to try so I have already made another lunch reservation."
    Dined on 4/28/2014
  • "The food is truly outstanding! We tried a little bit of everything; calimari, mussels, trout, salmon, brocolli, califlower, desserts, etc. -- just the best. We live in Chicago & NYC so we know good restaurants. And this restaurant ranks with some of the best in the City. And it beats 90% of the restaurants we've been to in Scottsdale. We'll be back again, and again."

  • "The food is outstanding here and service is great. Beautiful spot,too Nice wine list "
    Dined on 4/25/2014
  • "Considering the owner is a James Beard finalist my expectations were higher. Food was at best mediocre. Wine list was filled with good wines of poor vintages. Well, with the exception of the wine I did select. It was a decent wine but most were not, Food was odd., unusual in a manner that was poorly conceived."

  • "early dinner on the patio facing the mountains was outstanding. service, food, and ambiance was the best. "
    Dined on 4/23/2014
  • "We dine at Cafe Bink often and have been fortunate to get to know waitstaff personnel - Debra is THE BEST! She always makes our dining experience enjoyable. Menu has changed slightly, but our favorites, trout and fried chicken, and sloppy joe all remain. Salads are fresh and tasty,, and the french fries are a must!"
    Dined on 4/22/2014
  • "Enjoyed Eatser brunch very much. The best eggs benedict we have eaten! Frank, our waitperson, was terrific and added to the positive experience."
    Dined on 4/20/2014
  • "If weather permits, ask to be seated outside. Lovely. Indoor seating small and in-inspired. Waitstaff very helpful. Good wine selection. Excellent vegetarian options. Great deserts."
    Dined on 4/18/2014
  • "I had the "special vegetable" option-a kale salad. For the price, it was very pedestrian. Kale, a few sliced snow peas, and about 4 sliced strawberries. Not special. My companions ordered salads without red onions, but received salads with the onions."
    Dined on 4/18/2014
  • "This restaurant does not deserve to be on Open Table. The ambiance was awful, the food tasteless, presentation very poor and overall not a good experience. Would have had a better meal at McDonalds."
    Dined on 4/17/2014
  • "We have enjoyed many meals at Bink and have always had a terrific experience. We brought a couple that had never been to Bink and they indicated that this could easily be their favorite restaurant. In fact they plan to bring their daughter there for Easter. Great job bynall the staff."
    Dined on 4/15/2014
  • "Waitress was new. Brought our scalding hot soup and main course at the same time Apologized but did not offer to do anything. They were two large plates which hardly fit on the table. I had to be a contortionist to have my soup because the bowl was scalding. By the time I got to my salmon which was served with the soup it was cold."
    Dined on 4/14/2014
  • "We went for my birthday and it was extraordinary. The food was outstanding, service impeccable, and the views to die for. What more could you ask for a birthday dinner? "
    Dined on 4/11/2014
  • "Food was just ok. Other than the fries is was comparable to a fast food chain. I should have read more reviews....the service was absolutely HORRIBLE."
    Dined on 4/11/2014
  • "This was our second time here and it did not disappoint. Of course we ordered the fries to start, cant beat them. The muscles were good, the calamari was good, but the standout dish was the Bolognese. OMG. Just order it."
    Dined on 4/5/2014
  • "Have been to this restaurant several times and enjoy their unique cuisine. Has an ok wine list, but was disappointed to learn that they were out of the only cabernet that they sell by the glass. Our meals were delicious as usual. Could use an update to their menu."
    Dined on 4/1/2014
  • "Another very pleasurable dining experience at Cafe Bink. The food and service is always excellent. Loved the Bolognese."
    Dined on 3/30/2014
  • "We had a wonderful brunch for my birthday. Loved the green chili with eggs and although it was quite filling I couldn't resist ordering dessert, since it was a celebration. I had the profiteroles served with a candle and DH had the pumpkin doughnuts & cream. Both were outstanding. The cafe is pretty far from home but worth the trip. Can't wait to go back and try the salmon or pulled pork."
    Dined on 3/30/2014
  • "Service was very slow. Food was served cold and had to be sent back. Wine on wine list was misrepresented as better label (served Decoy, not Duckhorn). Coffee was served in searing hot cups that could not be touched. Wait staff blamed the kitchen. Manager didn't even offer a sincere apology."
    Dined on 3/29/2014
  • "Four of us had dinner. We all ordered different items from the menu. Everyone enjoyed their dinners, except the person who had the sloppy joe dinner. It just didn't live up to the diners expectation. The sandwich was slightly dry and the meat was also."
    Dined on 3/12/2014
  • "We have never been disappointed! Great seating on the outdoor patio next to the fireplace."
    Dined on 3/12/2014
  • "Very busy Friday night so service was slow. But food was outstanding."
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "my husband and I love binks and eat there often. it has sophisticated atmosphere and food, but is informal and close to home."
    Dined on 3/6/2014
  • "Mushroom soup is the best ever. Foie gras slider, calamari,salmon, everything we had was outstanding. Debra is a most amiable server. Our only criticism is that the tables indoors are too close together; one could almost take a bite from a neighboring table."
    Dined on 3/4/2014
  • "...and we were very happy to have been there! Food was excellent and they adapted to our food allergies very easily! We will return when ever we visit Carefree!"
    Dined on 2/18/2014
