6 of us went to Binks Midtown on friday night for a friend's birthday dinner. I would give the ambiance and food a 4 or 5 but the service was quite poor. My friend touched the bread serving dish and burned her hand so badly her fingers blistered. There was No warning about the temperature of the serving plate and there were  no apologies for her sizzling fingers either. She asked for ice to stop the pain and had to repeat the request 4 more times to 3 different people to get a simple ice-cube - which finally appeared about 15 minutes after she was burned.  \nThey knew ahead of time that it was a birthday for one of our group and there was not even a cupcake or a happy birthday wish from our server.\nAppetizers were brought out one at a time and out of sequence so  some of us were nearly done while others had yet to receive their starters.\nThe server seemed unaware of the use of \""please\"" or \""thank-you\""\nEvery request had to be made 3 or 4 times - everything was so slow it spoiled the experience. \nAs I said, the food was special but the service was so poor, I will not recommend it nor will I return.
