If you like a friendly environment, where folks are having a light meal, tasting and enjoying wines, and generally relaxing in a non-"scene" and classy, easy-going way... this is the place. Yes, it is a touch crowded, because it is small. But, it is great to linger inside the wide-open french doors, observing passers-by on the street while catching up with a friend. The wine list is excellent and well-priced. The food is just right and much better than would be expected from a small wine bar. I make a point to go back to this "find" whenever I am in the neighborhood. Just right.

Finally, a touch of class has arrived on the UWS. Bin 71 is a wonderful neighborhood wine bar! I think the prices are great considering the quality of food is excellent. I heard it's a father-son place too. The dad's the chef and his son had the concept and passion for the restaurant business. It shows. I suggest you go early - it fills up fast and so does your wine glass with a beautiful list and generous pour.

The food isn't bad and the wine selection is decent--but it's so damn overpriced, even for this neighborhood! This is bad because it filters out all but the nouveau riche 30-40 somethings who are a little too enamoured with their own success. I prefer places that have a greater variety of good folks who aren't as glitzy. I'll go back sometime because it's in my neighborhood, but only because there's nothing else around here.

If you like being surrounded by fat, old, lecherous men, and overyly made up sex in the city wannabes then this is the place for you. The unairconditioned crowded,environs as well as the expensive rates for the supposedly "cheap" fair was a surprise. I left feeling overwhemingly annoyed by the whole affair. Good luck to the upper west sidders that have no idea where to go downtown for a real wine bar.
