“ Where Flavor Lives and Kelsey Reigns Supreme If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to eat in a dimension where Michelin stars rain from the sky like parsley flakes and culinary angels sing over every bite, then congratulations, you’ve clearly been to Bin 6 South—home of Kelsey, the undisputed heavyweight champion of chefs in St. Petersburg. No contest. Don't even bring up your cousin’s “famous” chili. Sit down. Appetizers or Foreplay? Yes. Let’s start with the Marinated Olives. Citrus zest, chili, rosemary, and olive oil? I don’t know if I ate them or if they whispered ancient Mediterranean secrets into my soul. I briefly considered proposing marriage to a Kalamata. The Housemade Bread Duo is a carby miracle sent directly from the gluten gods—one side fermented garlic & honey butter; the other, squid ink sourdough with nori garlic butter. I licked the plate so thoroughly, the server thought I brought my own dishwasher. And don’t get me started on the Bin Board. It’s four seasonal hors d’oeuvres, aka four edible love letters from Chef Kelsey. Honestly, it made me question my life choices. Why am I not a seasonal hors d’oeuvre? Hot Appetizers? More Like Life-Changing Events The Roasted Sunchokes made me want to call my parents and thank them for raising me with taste buds. The Farro & Mushrooms combo tasted like a creamy forest hug—rich, earthy, and suspiciously addictive. Kelsey probably has a fan club of mushrooms. And the Dumpling Soup? It was so umami-packed, I blacked out for 37 seconds. When I came to, I had achieved inner peace. Entrees – aka Kelsey’s Final Flex Let’s talk about the Venison Tenderloin, which was so tender I suspect it got therapy. Paired with horseradish sweet potato puree and fermented mushroom cream sauce, it was like if a campfire had a degree in French cuisine. The Pan Seared Scallops? They tap danced on my tongue while wearing little lemon-scented top hats. The fermented vinaigrette could convince a die-hard carnivore to hug a fennel. Even the Gigandes Bean Cassoulet had me texting my ex just to say, “You missed out. On this. On me. On this bean cassoulet.” Final Thoughts Chef Kelsey is not cooking, she’s casting spells. This isn’t dinner—it’s a spiritual awakening. If you eat here and don’t feel compelled to write poetry to a parsnip or legally adopt a sunchoke, then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you’re just not ready. Bin 6 South is the truth. Kelsey is the prophet. And I am now a devout follower. ”

“ Love bin6south. It's an inviting, cozy 12 seat restaurant. The food is incredible and the menu rotates often. The atmosphere is awesome. Great wine selection and the staff is very knowledgeable which helps a novice like myself. You feel like family here! So far my favorite dish has been the venison tartare! Perfect date night spot! ”

“ This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Anywhere. The Bin Board was such a unique and delicious blend of meats, cheeses and pickled vegetables, and more. The Bread and Butter is like no other place I’ve had bread and butter before. Everything is elevated not only on a taste level but visually as well. I had the Pork Belly Bulgogi, and no words can explain how amazingly delicious it was. And even though I couldn’t finish all Of my entree I had to have the Cinnamon Twist dessert. We sat at the bar, so we were able to watch them prepare everything. Such a fun experience. Oh! And the mocktails were also incredible. The team is super friendly, inviting and extremely knowledgeable. I will undoubtedly return again and again. ”

“ A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! If you're looking for a unique dining experience off the beaten path, this new spot downtown is a must-try! It's a cozy place that seats only 12 people, which creates a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. The service was superb—it's actually pretty cool to sit next to strangers and strike up a conversation. The food was outstanding! We tried the bread with carrot butter (a delightful surprise), the duck, the fish, and capped it all off with dessert. Everything was fantastic. They also have an incredible wine selection, and Hanna was so helpful in guiding us to the perfect pairings for our meal. They host small events like wine tastings, which I’m excited to try next time. We’ll certainly be back! Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. ”

“ An absolute gem. Elegant food, an incredibly cozy atmosphere, and a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring both Old and New World selections. Perfect for a romantic date or an intimate celebration with close friends or family. A must-visit — no doubt about it. P.S. Even those spoiled by Moscow’s high-end scene will feel right at home here. ”

“ Absolutely incredible food prepared by the chef, and the wine selection is phenomenal! We were savoring every bite and each sip. Highly recommend! ”

“ Such an amazing place. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar (if you can) it’s a front row seat to the whole experience. Amazing food for such a tiny place (12 seats total) but the food and wine out perform restaurants that seat 2x 3x 4x the people. Loved it. ”

“ The Lamb Tart Treaty My partner and I ordered the lamb tart. She had one bite and then she went to the bathroom. I went into some sort of tastebud trance and ate all of it before she came back. Safe to say this went over poorly. We argued about the lamb tart for about 7 minutes. Before we could get to minute 8, another lamb tart had magically appeared in front of us. The lovely staff at Bin6South had overheard us and come to my rescue with another lamb tart. Truly saved my ass and saved the evening. Everything on this menu is exquisite, and the people running the show are genuine, kind, and talented. THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN ST PETE ”
