Wow! We were planning to eat at a restaurant across the street, but when we found out there was an hour wait, we decided to walk across the street to Bin228. That turned out to be the best decision we could have made! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfection. Nicholas, our server, was professional, poised, and extremely friendly. I'm watching my calories and didn't want any oil or starch, and Nicholas was incredibly accommodating. He suggested several options and was happy to substitute the carbs for vegetables. He then spoke with Leah, the manager, who came over personally and suggested that I have the chicken blackened without oil. It was absolutely delicious, served with roasted broccoli and green beans. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Leah was a breath of fresh air. She really knows her stuff, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and their experience. I honestly don't know what was better--the food or the service. They were both outstanding. What started as a backup plan turned into one of the best dining experiences we've had. We will definitely be back.!! read more

Delicious chili and sweet corn flatbread was a perfect lunch. Nick was a friendly server who humored us with conversation as we waited for food.,I know this place has a loyal following and I can see why read more

Skip the risotto and go for the fish and chips. Fries are basic but cod is fried to perfection. Flavorful and crispy. One order had nice big pieces yet the other was like chicken fingers, still delicious but one was small and all breading. Risotto was not as creamy as we would have liked and the chicken in the risotto tasted reheated. They wished they had gotten the fish & chips. Great wine and beer selection and seasonal cocktail menu. Service was excellent and it's a cozy atmosphere. read more

My friends and I live Bin228. The bartenders are very attentive. We were going out to dinner but stopped in for happy hour. We had these amazing corn appetizers. The name is escaping me but check out the pics. So yummy with a couple dirty martinis. read more

Parking: shared lot, not too many spots, had to park a good distance from location Decor: stylish and modern but not tacky. Staff: friendly and on point Food: this is where they dropped the ball, the fig flatbread was smothered with a fig like preserve on a horrible crust, either wasn't cooked correctly or the didn't give the dough enough time to rise. Then placing un-toast prosciutto on top was adding to the quandary! The cubano sandwich was not bad but lacking the butter cook that makes a cubano taste so good. Adding to this was it was a working lunch with colleagues and the restaurant has no public WiFi???? This is the first place I have been in over 5 years that didn't have a guest WiFi. Price: average for Glastonbury for 2 people around 50 bucks Overall: I might try again but lots of other places to eat in the area! read more

Enjoyable happy hour experience. Sat in the banquet area as long as we agreed to be gone by 6 to accommodate their reservations-no problem ! Had taco, mussels cheeseburger roll and corn dip. My only feedback is i wish the corn dip had a bit more corn with the ratio to cream cheese and i though the dip with the roll needed a little piaz - a cheeseburger normally has mustard and the dip seems to be just ketchup and mayo-little too sweet for our taste. Unlike others complaints, i mostly found the pace of service was not rushed but also not too slow. PS-chilly-wear an extra layer or sit in the back room read more

3.5 stars but ranking up. This is a cute spot to meet up with friends for drinks. The cocktail specials are really fun and have a ton of variety. The interior and exterior patio are super cute. Staff is nice but extremely slow. It took well over 3 hours from drinks to meals and dessert. Food is decent but not anything I'd call memorable. Just a nice place for drinks and bites. Wish service was not as slow otherwise I would choose this as my go to happy hour spot. Plan to be here a long time! read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots, which makes this disappointing to say. Service -- specifically from one of the blonde bartenders (she's never introduced herself, so I don't have a name) -- has consistently gone downhill. We've had to repeatedly flag her down while sitting with empty plates and glasses. No check-ins, no acknowledgment. When she does come over, her attitude makes it feel like guests are an inconvenience. I'm a bartender myself, so I understand busy shifts. But basic hospitality like eye contact, clearing empties, professionalism -- isn't optional. My drink was poorly made and unbalanced, which only added to the frustration. What really crossed the line was hearing staff behind the bar openly speaking negatively about customers -- including people currently seated. That's not just bad service, it's unprofessional. It's unfortunate to see a place I enjoyed decline like this. I hope management steps in. read more

Always a good meal here! Love the meatballs, salads and short rib entree. Went last week and got the scallop and risotto special. Delicious! Save room for the Nutella mousse! It is heavenly Service is always solid and on point. This place is a favorite, especially when the weather gets nice and the patio opens. I miss the couches out there, though! read more

Par took in the happy hour menu for my first visit here. Sat in the bar area, along the wall, on the nice comfy, couch lined booth. The tables are very small, don't order too much too fast. They are also very close to your neighbor. I had the charcuterie board, salmon tacos, chicken tacos, buffalo wings, and the tuna wontons. I suggest on skipping the charcuterie board. The meats were very tough and chewy. I was hoping for more than just two tuna wontons, but they were very tasty. The horse radish wasn't overpowering at all, and the tuna was very tender. The buffalo wings were extremely satisfying. They were large drums and flats, not the little baby ones you get at some places. The creamy blue cheese dip was a good quality. This and the tacos were the highlights of this visit. While the tacos could have been a little fuller, with the rest of the food that we had they were filling. We also had sangria, the blueberry lemonade and a rose. All were okay. This Rose wasn't sweet, it was more like a Pinot Grigio. The service was efficient, Pleasant, and I look forward to coming back to try the rest of the happy hour menu, along with their main menu. read more

The drinks were good. The atmosphere on the patio was good. The Lamb burger was well done when I asked for me the blackened mahi fish tacos were overcooked. I didn't say anything about the Lamb burger because I'm OK with eating it well done, but I asked for it to be medium. I hate to give it three stars, but it's more of a three star review than a four star review. read more

We had the best lunch today and we can't wait to go back! Service was so good and patient, we met friends from NY on their way to a concert. The wine selection was wonderful, in love with Bonanza these days. Salad special was with blackened swordfish- could not have been better! Really amazing. Chopped was good , Reuben was also a hit, only not great was the Corn chowder, thin and a little lackluster. All in all, a wonderful time. read more

I haven't been back in forever and not much has changed, in a good way. We came on a Thurs and it was actually pretty busy. I will say we came as a party of two and they asked if we were ok sitting in the bar, and even later into the night it seemed like they were packing people into the bar versus sitting in the restaurant. Otherwise I got the same veggie burger as before. The burger is HUGE. Bigger than I remember. The flavor was just ok for me this time though. The bun, halloumi cheese and tahini were good though. I liked that I was able to customize the side and I chose broccoli. Service was fast and quick. Would recommend. They have a very diverse menu as well so everyone should be able to find something they like. read more

Really like this gastropub because of food, service and ambiance. Our server was amazing, we always have a great time there. We enjoy the soft seating inside and outside in summers. The happy hr menu is great, we splurged on tacos, and all were great. The drinks are tasty, the bartenders mixing interesting concoctions, I mostly like the mocktails and seasonal beers. I like the menu because there are more healthy choices and items are outside the norm. Very fun meeting place and whipping up some good eats! read more

First timer here with friends and we enjoyed it. Went on St Pattys Day except it was pretty quiet in there for St Pattys Day. Loved the atmosphere in there. The food was great! Grilled avocado was delicious. Never had grilled avocado. It's always has been cold and it was pretty tasty! Nothing special but it was good. My short ribs .. very tender and great in flavor! It was recommended by one of my Yelpie friends and then I couldn't make up My mind right before ordering but the eso also suggested it snd im glad I chose it. My friends fish and chip were good , she said but the Fries weren't crispy at all. Our waitress was pretty awesome! She always came and checked in with us. We ended the night with sharing the Nutella mousse, it was nice and light . The outsides set up Looks cute and spacious. Can't wait until It opens up for the season ! read more

We will always continue to be regulars as long as Nicole is here! read more

What an amazing place. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this as a must to visit .

I went back for the french onion soup as I said I would and it did not disappoint! My friend got the corn chowder which she had last time. The soup here just hits the spot! This time I got to try a new seasonal cocktail and I really enjoyed my bourbon smash! My friend and the entire table next to us all ordered the harvest marg, they all seemed to like it. I love their seasonal cocktail lists, it makes you want to come back at least every season to try something new! Paninis were good, I'd come here for lunch and get either of these. But, the fries were so crunchy that I couldn't enjoy them. Maybe I was just thrown off because they looked like McDonald's fries LOL! My friend and I enjoy sitting at their partial booths because it's so cozy. Our waitress, Trinity, is always so kind and attentive. I will obviously be back! read more

My friend and I wanted to try out a new spot so we decided to check out Bin228 since the menu looked appealing. We went on a Friday night and sat on the outside patio which was cute and had nice lighting. Our waitress was very nice, answered all of our questions. The food was very average. We both ordered drinks off the seasonal cocktail menu. I ordered a pumpkin manhattan which said it was supposed to have a large ice cube which is typical for this type of drink. Unfortunately it came out with regular ice cubes and started to get watery quickly. The waitress was able to get the ice swapped out with a large ice cube. We ordered 2 appetizers, the crab cake and the tater tot poutine. The crab cake tasted like a frozen fish stick and the poutine was unseasoned and had half a piece of bacon. Both were extremely underwhelming so we decided to go somewhere else for the entree. I can't say that I would recommend Bin228. read more

Great salad! We tried out a new spot in Glastonbury and it was a hit! The ambiance was so modern and rustic, it had bench seating with big fluffy pillows, so comforting and relaxing. I had the Pear & Gorgonzola Salad which was mixed greens, slivered almonds, honey vinaigrette (gf). I subbed the Gorgonzola for Goat Cheese and it was a great choice! The service was supreme, the waitress was helpful and knowledgeable about all the menu items giving great recommendations. Overall a 10/10 def would return, I have to try that meatloaf! read more

I recently visited Bin228 for an impromptu Friday lunch with my mother in law and very much enjoyed it. We were seated immediately at a table for two by the window which was great because it was a beautiful sunny day outside. Our waitress was lovely and helped us each decide on a glass of wine and we both loved our respective choices. We each chose the beet salad for our meal, mine with shrimp added, and I cannot express how delicious this salad was. The beets gave the salad that perfect earthy flavor and I will never stop thinking about the incredible goat cheese croquettes. I loved the light lemon truffle dressing on it and the watermelon radish added the perfect contrasting crunch. I will definitely be adding Bin228 to my regular rotation in town and it's the perfect spot for a nice lunch. read more

I had never been to Bin228 and met a coworker for dinner. The vibe is very cozy- almost but not quite a galley feel. There's a long banquette with tables and chairs on the opposite side where we sat. We ordered the roasted avocado and chips. It was absolutely delicious! It was as if it was guacamole only the avocado wasn't mixed already. The chips were also very yummy! I had a salad with salmon. The salmon was a perfect portion and cooked to perfection. The dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette it was absolutely fabulous! The service was slow slow slow. They were busy but waitress seemed to concentrate on other tables. I would absolutely return! read more

Went here on a rainy, Wed afternoon for lunch and drinks. High ceilings and a bit of a cold feel to the restaurant. Has a slightly upscale bar ambiance. Lots of signature cocktails to choose from! I had the Hazelnut Manhattan which was smooth and delicious. Our app was the burrata which was tasty. I did not care for the quinoa burger or the add ons. It was dry and tasteless. Stick with the drinks and apps. Side note: the music was loud and straight off the elevator playlist but this could have been related to the time of day read more

Great place!! Wanted to try something different I wasn't displeased. I ordered the beet salad along with a crab cake! The salad was a bit small however, very tasty. The lemon vinaigrette that come along with it was refreshing and good. I really enjoyed the crab cake. Just the right amount of crispy on the outside. The service i received was great. Lastly, it's a cool spot with nice decor! I would recommend to anyone for a nice happy hour read more

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon to enjoy happy hour with two others. We got there around 4:30pm and were happy to be able to get a seat at the high top tables. The happy hour menu changes often so I wouldn't bother trying to find it online, and they sure do have a lot of options! There are wine, beer and cocktail options as well as many small plates. The regular menu also has some good sized appetizers to share with folks. I recommend the taro fries and the piri piri muscles! They were delicious. Our waitress was friendly and the food came out quickly. Overall a great time and recommend a stop in. read more

We had some delicious drinks and appetizers here. We ordered an array of tapas. We were very hesitant about the octopus carpaccio, but it's something we generally do not see on a menu and we were feeling adventurous. We were so glad we ordered it! It was fantastic. Very lemony and refreshing on a hot day. The pork dumplings were also spot on. Our server was super nice and pushed 2 high tops together since we ordered a bunch of apps instead of dinner. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful. Can't wait to go back! read more

On a recent Sunday during the Apple Harvest Festival, my fiancé and I found ourselves here after a not so pleasant experience at another local restaurant. Besides the point, I'm so glad we ended up here instead. Last time I came here was several years ago for I came for a work happy hour. I don't know why I haven't been back other than I get stuck in a cycle of only going to the same few restaurants. Definitely will be adding Bin 228 Gastropub to the cycle now! We were greeted by a friendly host and were sat at a table on the front patio. The host presented us with their normal menu and a small menu of brunch options. The brunch menu looked like it was printed daily, so I'm assuming it's a daily special offering (or maybe just a Sunday thing). Everything on both menus looked great. I ended up ordering brunch a peach mimosa great but wasn't too peachy and the French toast sliders. My fiancé went for the chicken avocado panini which looked great. I stole a few fries since my plate didn't include a side (& they were the perfect combination of chewy, crunchy & salty). I appreciated that our server as attentive but also gave us plenty of time to pursue the menu and time to enjoy our meal. I look forward to going back and trying more of the menu! read more
