in No. 18 is a cute and chic bistro and wine bar on Biscayne Boulevard. The restaurant is intimate and great for sitting and enjoying a glass of wine.

The atmosphere is laid back and friendly, and the décor is elegant while maintaining a comfortable feel. Chandeliers provide just enough lighting to see your date, and the music is normally cool Jazz or sexy Latin.

On Sundays, they offer a great brunch menu with unique creations such as Spanish torillas. They have other days with specials, so be sure to call and check out what day tempts you.

The restaurant does get busy at times, so a reservation may be a good idea. Depending on how much you like Bin No. 18, a line may be no big deal to you. Me? I love food so much that I can’t stand waiting in line for anything. I’ll wait at my table with a drink, but all the smells may just have me wandering into the kitchen.
