A New Chapter for Bin6South
After a brief hiatus, Bin6South will reopen Friday, November 21 under new leadership with Wine Director Nanci Rosen and Executive Chef Joe Nelson, and a renewed focus on fine wine, technique-driven cuisine, and polished service.
The team calls it an “elevated experience,” blending Bin6South’s reputation for discovery-driven wine lists with a menu that’s both refined and adventurous.
What’s New
Guests will notice a few thoughtful changes when doors open again:
- Early-bird common table: Available 4 – 6 PM by reservation, ideal for a more social, small-plate setting.
- Outdoor expansion: Four new tables under retractable awnings expand the patio, first-come, first-served.
- Tasting nights: On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Bin6South will host themed tastings of wines from around the world for a small fee (waived with discounted bottle purchases), paired with a concise menu of small bites.
From Thursday through Saturday, the restaurant returns to full dinner service featuring wine, sake, and beer, with rotating dishes that highlight new culinary techniques and seasonal ingredients.
Menu Highlights
Chef Nelson’s fall menu reads like a study in contrast and texture—rustic ingredients meeting modern precision.
A few standouts include:
- Elk Yukhoe with Korean pear and cured duck yolk
- Papardelle Rippiene, a filled pasta layered with ricotta, maitake powder, and black garlic cream
- Blue Crab with fermented guacamole and black quinoa-masa chips
- Octopus with garlic toum, duck-fat potatoes, and lemon-mint vinaigrette
Desserts range from Death by Chocolate to Gunkan Roll with fruit caviar and mint foam.
Holiday Tradition Returns
Bin6South’s beloved Feast of the Seven Fishes returns on Christmas Eve 2025, an eight-course seafood and wine pairing dinner that sells out early each year.
Seatings at 5:30 and 8:00 PM | $200 per person (tip not included). Reserve via bren@bin6south.com.
Final Sip
The reopening of Bin6South feels like a restoration of balance in St. Pete’s fine-wine scene. With Nanci Rosen guiding the wine program and Joe Nelson in the kitchen, the restaurant’s next chapter marks a confident return, led by a team with a clear vision for what fine wine and dining can be in St. Pete.
