Bin 54 Steak & Cellar

Food : price was up on the highend. My Australian ribeye was regular - ok. Atmosphere : very dark and a bit outdated (idk, maybe it is regular decor of a steakhouse) Service : our waitress was unique. Very theatrical very dramatic. Which gave us a unique experience here😂 Better make a reservation.

My spouse and I went to Bin 54 for my birthday dinner. Based on the menu and the reviews, I was expecting an absolutely lovely meal from the beginning to the end. And both the beginning and the end were, in fact, lovely, but it was what in between the two that was the problem. We arrived about twenty minutes early for our 8 o'clock reservation, as we tend to do, so we waited at the bar where we each enjoyed a mocktail; I had the New Fashioned, and my spouse had a blueberry ginger concoction. They were both lovely, although the New Fashioned was rather sweeter than its alcoholic namesake, although it was still well-considered and composed; it just needed a stronger tannic component to really meet what I was hoping for. The bartenders were fantastic, friendly and welcoming and prompt with service despite being visibly very busy, and the bearded fellow was quite charming. Once our table was available, only a few minutes late due to the previous guests there lingering for some time, for which the maître d'hôtel was quite apologetic (and not something we would have held against him or any of the other FOH staff; there were many guests who were clearly lingering long after finishing their meals), we settled down and were attended to by Mike, who took excellent care of us all evening. Before our appetizers arrived, we were provided with some of the best bread and butter I've ever had. The bread, an exquisite artisanal sourdough from Utica Bakery in Apex, had a marvelous depth and complexity, and the butter, we were informed, was churned and cultured in-house and finished with Maldon sea salt, and they came together beautifully. For the appetizer, we both had the steak tartare, and it was excellent, balanced well to complement the crisped potato slices it was served with, although we both felt it could use a touch more mustard. After an appropriate amount of time for us to digest, the table was cleared and utensils provided for the mains and sides we ordered. And that's where it began to underwhelm. We both had the duck breast (in fact, I chose Bin 54 for my birthday dinner specifically because I wanted duck breast), and I had the red wine demi-glace to accompany it, while my spouse ordered the dried cherry sauce. For sides, we ordered the twice baked potatoes, the duck fat roasted potatoes, the mushroom ragout, and the sauteed spinach. The sauces were perfect, and both the twice baked potatoes and the mushrooms were everything we hoped for and more. The duck fat roasted potatoes had excellent flavor, but they had no crispiness at all, which is not what one expects for such a dish. And the sauteed spinach looked excellent, a vibrant green that told me it was blanched properly before being sauteed, but it tasted like it had not been seasoned at all, tasting bitter and sulfurous and little else. Even the cheese that it had been dressed with (some kind of ricotta dressing, according to the menu) was doing absolutely nothing to bring it back. I managed exactly one forkful and could eat no more; if it had just had some salt and pepper I would have likely eaten more of it. Finally, I requested a cup of coffee as a digestif, and we declined to order a dessert simply because we had no capacity for anything rich. However, Mike brought us a pair of macarons with a single birthday candle and the words Happy Birthday! written on the plate, and they were a superb way to finish the meal. We were informed that they were made in-house by the pastry chef, who was the most on top of their game in the kitchen tonight, followed closely by whoever made the twice baked potatoes and the mushroom ragout. Because of how profoundly we were disappointed by the duck and two of the four sides, we're unlikely to return in the near future, and I would hesitate to recommend it to any friends or acquaintances. But we might go out of our way to patronize Utica Bakery.

Overall a good experience and recommend with some caveats. The short ribs were superb (though a bit salty). The salad was also very good. The macaroni and cheese was absolutely fantastic -- perhaps the best I have had. Our server was very kind and professional (though a different server came out first and mistakenly said "congratulations on your anniversary" -- she mixed up the tables). - the room has a very strong firewood smoke smell, which is unpleasant (and not good for your health) - the overall wait time for food was long - at prime hour, parking can be a bit difficult to get right outside Overall, a good experience and can recommend.

A proper steakhouse with a smokehouse aroma as soon as you enter. That sweet smell of wood-grilled meat and the ambiance to go with it. That is once your eyes have properly adjusted to the dim lighting from the brightness of the outdoors. Had made a reservation on a Wednesday night for 5:30pm for my colleague and I. My colleague was running about 15 mins late, so it allowed me to sit at the bar, enjoy a nice old-fashioned cocktail, and have a great chat with Dino, the bartender. I learned about the history of this place, the owner and his team of investors, and other restaurants. Time flew by and before you knew it my colleague had arrived and we were promptly seated at our table. The ribeye was strongly recommended, so I couldn't resist. Who doesn't love a good ribeye steak! It was cooked to perfection, so tender and juicy, and flavors that hyped the taste buds beyond belief. I enjoyed every single bite of that steak, and any tiny portion that couldn't be forked or knifed was taken home for my colleague's dog to enjoy. There is no better treat for a dog! The sides of potatoes and brussel sprouts were great accompaniments to the true star of the show. I left feeling so full and so satisfied. Worth every penny, and it will set you back quite a few. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommend this place.

Had a table for 8 but sat next to the bar area. Ended up being louder than I would’ve liked. Food and service we top notch and I would highly recommend…especially if someone else is paying.

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for a year now, as one year ago, I proposed to my now fiancée and took her to dinner here. The service we received was the best I have ever had. I can’t say enough about our waitress, Shae, who was extraordinarily kind and clearly genuinely happy for us, and helped make our dinner truly amazing. All of the staff we interacted with were wonderful. The food was also delicious. The mac and cheese was great with a delicious crust and the bacon was also good. The steaks and desserts were very good as well, as were the drinks. I can’t recommend Bin 54 enough for any special occasion you may be celebrating. We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic dinner! We were seated in the cute covered patio with the room all to ourselves. Our server Reagan was excellent. He made solid suggestions and was available every time we needed something. The lobster Gnocchi was superb. The grouper special was well prepared and juicy with a fun sesame seed crust. My wife enjoyed the sear on her 10oz filet. The star of the night we the great French 75s. It was a terrific dinner. We loved the atmosphere, the service and the food. Can't wait to go back.

Always a Chapel Hill staple for fine dining and special occasions. Love that it's still like a hole in the wall place! Celebrated another anniversary here, and as always the meal was excellent as well as the service and ambiance. Enjoyed delicious crab cake and salad followed by filet, accompanied with scalloped potatoes and asparagus. 5 stars!

Bin 54 unfortunately did not meet expectations. The food was mediocre from the very beginning. Generic room-temperature bread and butter. The mussels were pretty bland with sauce that just tasted like seafood water. It came with greasy, overly buttered bread and no bowl to discard the shells in, so we had to just pile them onto our little bread plates. The lobster gnocchi looked sad, was also not very flavorful, and had limp overcooked and shredded up pieces of lobster. All the food was lukewarm. The $120 porterhouse that we requested medium rare was cooked extremely unevenly with a soft rare middle and overcooked grainy edges. At least there were some medium/medium rare pieces somewhere along that spectrum. The outside had some burnt edges and yet no sear or crust. The whole steak was sinewy and felt like a low quality cut of meat. The only saving graces were our server who did just fine and the wine which was pretty good. Overall, the meal was nothing to write home about, *especially* not for the prices they're charging. Bin 54 only gets 2 stars because at least the food was edible.

My neighbor took me here for an evening, and I am impressed by the dark, cozy atmosphere. Bin54 is a great spot for a date night, anniversary, or other special occasion. We sat in one of the U-shaped booths facing the main dining room. I can smell the wood-fired oven from the parking lot. That smell told me we are in for a special evening. Whitney served us and was pleased to hear that this is my first time to Bin54. I got chattery about their wine glasses and enjoyed two bold reds, one from Italy and another from France. My neighbor enjoyed some well-crafted gimlet cocktails. We shared mussels from their Beginnings selection and ordered two New York Strips. We shared Brussels sprouts and haricot verts. The portions are generous, and the first bite of the steak told me why we pay up for them. The texture communicates the meat quality. The restaurant manager came by to check in on us. I'm pleased that he did. Whitney timed her check-ins well. This is the earmark of five-star service.

This place is one of the best upscale steakhouses in the area! The ambiance inside is dark, moody, and cozy. I came here with a friend for a celebration. They have a great selections of wines that the servers are happy to help provide insight when selecting bottles. Entree wise, we ordered a NY strip steak and the salmon. Both entrees were cooked to perfection and delicious. The sides are ordered a la carte so we shared the mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts. Both which were fantastic. My favorite was the mac and cheese because it was very creamy. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Bin 54 and are looking forward for our next visit.

We had a wonderful experience at Bin 54 Steak & Cellar. This is one of the only non-chain, high-end steakhouses in Chapel Hill. The food, drink, and service were among the best we've experienced in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. This is a locally-owned-and-operated business. It's been around since 2006, so it's stood the test of time. If you're looking for a nice dinner out in Chapel Hill, I highly recommend this place. Book your reservation using OpenTable. I'm a fan of OpenTable because it lets you earn rewards such as restaurant discounts and Amazon gift cards. I used my last two points redemptions for gift cards. It's a nice perk for dining out at no additional cost to you. Bin 54 is located in the small Glen-Lennox Shopping Center on highway 54 (Raleigh Rd) at 15-501 (Fordham Blvd). There's free self-parking in the shopping center's lot. No valet. Every time we've come here, the parking lot has been close to full. This is one of those classic, old-school, white tablecloth steakhouses with formally-dressed staff, some in suits like the general manager (Michael Fiscus, who greeted us when we checked in) and sommelier. All staff wear at least bow ties/neckties. We had a Tuesday 7:30pm reservation. We arrived early and the place was packed and busy. Bar manager Collin Lusty took care of us while we waited at the bar. Here, you have the option of eating at the bar. The interior was dimly lit with different rooms and nooks with seating. My wife and I were seated at one of the two-tops in the center of the main dining room. The way the room is setup, there are U-shaped booths along the perimeter so the folks who sit there look inwards towards the center tables. For a two-top, our table was nice and big to fit everything, but my wife and I were farther apart from each other than we're used to when dining out (a lot of leaning forward to talk; not a big deal). Below is a list of what we had. It should give you an idea on what Bin 54 has to offer and the pricing at the time of our visit. "Beginnings" (Appetizers) * Beef Tenderloin Tartare ($18) - cornichon, capers, shallots, quail egg, potato crisp * Seared Diver Scallops ($25) - cauliflower puree, butternut squash caponata, Calabrian chili agrodolce "Land" (Steaks) * Bone-In Ribeye ($78) - 22 oz. with au poivre vert sauce on the side * Filet Mignon ($55) - 10 oz. with bearnaise sauce on the side "Companions" (Sides) * Mushroom Ragout ($14) - garlic, thyme * Creamed Spinach Casserole ($12) * Truffled Four Cheese Macaroni ($16) Dessert * Banana Pudding ($12) - bourbon pecan cookie, toasted meringue Classic Cocktail * Perry's Terrace-tini ($14) - Absolut Citron vodka, pomegranate liqueur, lemon juice, mint; served up with a lemon twist and topped with sparkling cava * Vesper ($15) - Bombay Sapphire Gin, Stolichnaya "Stoli" Vodka, Lillet Blanc; served up with a twist Special Wine Feature * Portuguese Flight (three 3-ounce pours for $29) - Quinta de Saes, Dao Tinto, 2018 - Fitapreta, A Touriga Vai Nua, 2021 - Asnella, Single Vineyard, 2021 (Vinho Verde) Everything was phenomenal. No matter what type of food or drink it was, it was perhaps the best we've had in the Triangle, from the Scallops to the Banana Pudding. Even the complimentary bread and butter was fantastic. The Beef Tenderloin Tartare and the Seared Diver Scallops were terrific. One thing that stuck out to me about Bin 54's Beef Tartare was the potato crisps. Presumably housemade, they were really good. The Scallops were incredibly flavored and the meat itself was fresh and succulent. The steaks were A+. We ordered both steaks medium rare and they came out perfect. All aspects of the steaks were on point, from how they were seasoned and cooked to the meat quality. The au poivre vert and bearnaise sauces were housemade and excellent. The sides were amazing too. My wife and I love mushrooms and the Mushroom Ragout hit the spot. The mushrooms were super tasty and had very appetizing textures too. Both the Creamed Spinach Casserole and the Truffled Four Cheese Macaroni were rich and addictive. Generous portions. I loved everything about the Banana Pudding, from the toasted meringue on top to the cookie crumbles inside (my favorite part). This may have been the best Banana Pudding I've had anywhere. The cocktails were strong and delicious. The wine was superb. Our server Brandon was great. This business runs like a well-oiled machine. They got all the details locked down. If I recall correctly, Brandon used to be the bar manager at Cucciolo Osteria in Durham. The executive chef, Kevin Draper, came over from Fearrington House in 2009, so no surprise why the food is exceptional here. Bin 54 is part of the Giorgios retaurant group, named after founder-owner restaurateur Giorgios Bakatsias. At the time of writing this review, there are 16 Giorgios restaurants, 15 of which are located in the Triangle. In Chapel Hill, Kipos Greek Taverna and Osteria Georgi are also part of the group.

Every time .. excellent. Welcoming atmo. Great meal and drinks! Lovely staff. Super crew: Dino, Jess & Colin!!

I've been to many a steak house throughout the country and this ranks very high up there--just as good as the very best. Perfectly spiced and seasoned and cooked plus tender porterhouse. Mashed potatoes were smooth and velvety with the right hint of garlic and butter. Desserts were stupendous! Service was great but then it took us a bit to get our check and that was very annoying. Thankfully I had awesome company and lots to talk about! Ambiance was classic steak restaurant with lots of wood and deep red decor. I'll be back!!!!

We were visited during a SOTA conference at UNC. I had the hangar steak, while my wife had Faroe Islands Salmon. We shared roasted brussel sprouts. For desert, we had a crème de brûlée. Food was excellent. The service was friendly and quick. The sprouts were on the house, because they were a bit delayed. The ambiance was comfortable and quiet. I would visit this place again

The food was amazing with a lot of great sides, the way the meat was charged was unbelievable, we had a great waiter. He was on the ball explaining to us about the food before we ordered. We had a lot of good cocktails. It was not cheap, but it was very good. We will be returning!

The reservation was made on open table. We dined in for NYE, and there was a short wait to be seated. I have fallen deeply in love with Bin54. My friend and I split the 22 oz ribeye. So flavorful and delicious. The best steak I have had all of (2022). Everything we ordered at our table was top-tier in taste. I love that Bin54 has a sommelier available to provide expert knowledge. I believe my friend ordered the Vouvray, which my friend loved. It was her taste for white wine. I'm more of a red fan, so I opted for a French 75 and a dirty martini which were both delicious. The service here was impeccable and as expected for fine dining.

Came with my son to Chapel Hill for a Minnesota Gopher UNC football matchup. We were looking for a nice Steakhouse with a solid wine list. We found that at Bin 54. I was just a bit hesitant as our Uber pulled into a strip mall and I'm wondering where is the restaurant. It's a nondescript mall but once you walk in you are transformed into a cozy comfortable upscale steakhouse. The service was so friendly. From the host to server to sommelier. Everyone was casual professional. I really like that style of service. Our Sommelier guided us to a robust Cabernet Franc that paired nicely with our steaks. The steaks were prepared to a perfect medium rare and for the quality of the cut I thought the prices were on the reasonable end of the scale. It was packed so put in a reservation early and Bon appetite!!

My boyfriend and I came to Bin 54 for a birthday dinner. The ambience was super classy, dark, and intimate. There were a lot of people when we came, so I'm glad we had a reservation. We ordered the calamari, foie gras mousse, 6oz filet mignon (medium rare), duck fat roasted potatoes, and banana pudding. I'm a huge lover of calamari - the dish was super delicious and well seasoned! The foie gras wasn't my favorite - I also never had that dish before so that may also be why. The filet mignon was super tender, juicy, and delicious - though, I've never had my filet sliced like that before. The duck fat potatoes were really delicious and well seasoned. The banana pudding was amazing! I'm normally the type to go for a chocolate cake over a banana pudding, but I'm SO glad I tried something new! Overall, we had an amazing experience at Bin 54 and will definitely return for our next special event! I also can't wait to get another banana pudding!!

You would expect a supposedly "upscale" steakhouse to cook their meats well. This was not the case at Bin54. They overcharred the crust to the point it was unenjoyable. You can also tell how good the service is based on how long you have to wait for the servers to come and refill the drinks. Would not recommend.

Service was great, could not have been friendlier or more attentive. Also did a fantastic job of celebrating an event for my daughter. The steak was very tasty and cooked to the perfect temperature (always the key for a steakhouse) and the crème brûlée was very good. Where I felt things could have been better was on the steak tartare starter, it had very little flavor, which sometimes happens with tartare but is avoidable, and the potato crisps served with it felt stale. The onion rings looked great but were a little soggy and tasteless (though they had the right balance of onion to batter). Overall, a good meal, with a great steak and service and I'd go back.

I can't find anything to complain about other than the price (which was known going into eat here). I enjoyed the ambiance that was created with lighting and decor choices along with a quiet setting. The food was fairly good the steak was cooked to my liking with a bit of a char grilled flavor, scallops were high quality but lacking in the portion size, duck fat roasted potatoes were cooked excellent but the aftertaste of the duck fat is acquired for some, Ahi tuna was wonderful my favorite I've had in the triangle area buttery smooth texture cooked to perfection. Where I was left disappointed is the lack of enthusiasm from staff members for this price point for me to want to come back I'm looking for a special experience but if you have the money and are looking for a quiet uninterrupted evening you cant go wrong

Second visit to Bin54 and it was excellent again. Celebrating a birthday and they made it a special occasion. We chose the "Tasting Menu" of three courses. Because of a severe shellfish allergy, they accommodated making a change from the Caesar Salad (anchovies are considered shellfish) to a salad without anchovies. The main course was a perfectly cooked 6 oz Filet along with potatoes and green beans in a tasty soubise sauce. Our dessert choice was a chocolate mousse with raspberry coulis. We chose a perfectly paired Bordeaux wine. The entire meal was perfect in an elegant setting. It's a perfect venue for a special occasion.

Probably the best steak I've ever had!! The service was great and accommodating to anything we needed. We were suggested this restaurant and we were not disappointed. This is a must try place in chapel hill!!

While traveling through NC, we stopped at Bin54. Wow. The food was great, the ambiance was nice and quiet and the service was terrific. After almost 2 weeks on the road, this was a great respite. We really relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. One of the top meals during an 11 state journey!

I went here with my beautiful wife for our nine year anniversary. Absolutely spectacular food, service, and atmosphere. I hope I tipped enough! :) Do the Tawny port after your main course.

This is strictly about the bar. Nice atmosphere, friendly bartenders. But $15 for a well brand vodka and tonic? We are not in in LA or NYC. It's in a strip shopping center on the side of a busy highway. Have no clue about the food.

We had a new waiter so that some what impacts this review. Small, intimate, classic steakhouse vibes of dark red and brown decor. New waiter goofed on cocktails and appetizer misunderstanding our order/not knowing the menu. Loved the foie gras pate. My filet was the best cooked of any of the steakhouses we have visited this year. Hubby had a bone-in ribeye which he ranked just behind Flemmings primarily for the texture/fat content. Tried the dried cherries, au poivre vert and bearnaise sauces, all good. Hubby had the mushroom ragu and I did the truffle four cheese mac. He liked the mushrooms. We both thought the mac was too much truffle. Not shown was a salted caramel brulee which was devine. Bottom line - if they were closer we would go back. Are they worth a 30 minute rush hour pouring rain drive, maybe not.

It was our first time eating here and it was hands down one of the best experiences we've had at a restaurant the service was fantastic everyone was so friendly and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back!

INCREDIBLE My wife thought the filet mignon was the best steak she has ever eaten and I've paid three times as much for A5 Wagyu (medium rare and cooked to perfection) I got the pork chop brined in sweet tea ...absolutely delicious with shallot sauce, huge ..smoky , tender and full of flavor If you like great meat ...and want to pair it with incredible wine this is the place for you!! They have a very extensive wine list We celebrated our 25th anniversary here and the sommelier (Who also made great menu recommendations) picked a bottle of wine that I will say is one of the greatest bottles of wine paired with meat we have ever had Crabcake appetizer was also great and so was the dessert ....the banana pudding Clearly this is a restaurant where everything on the menu is wonderful Whitney, our server ...was very pleasant and attentive I spent a fortune on this meal but most of it was the wine, which is truly over-the-top great!! I highly recommend it even though it's in a strip mall

Solid food. Great wine list. Busy on the weekend so get a reservation. Parking/location is kind of a hassle.

I love the food here and hanging out at the bar is a real treat. It's so nice I will never sit at a table. Service at the bar is superb and all the bartenders make wonderful drinks and are social with the clientele.

We went here for an anniversary celebration. We started with cocktails at the bar while waiting for our table and the bartender was very friendly and helpful. The food was impeccable. Romantic setting. Recommend reservations

Visited this restaurant during the week for dinner. Has that older steakhouse ambiance. The service was great from the moment we walked in. I saw another guest order a burger with mac n cheese so I decided to copy their order. The burger was juicy, nicely seasoned and cooked great. The mac n cheese was so good! For dessert we tried the sorbet sampler, the coconut sorbet and sangria flavors were my favorite.

Very good food and service. My steak was excellent and cooked to the requested temperature, but the seasoning seemed a bit off. The tomato soup special was excellent. Service was courteous and attentive throughout.

Absolutely the best steak I've eaten in the Triangle. Our special occasion restaurant!

Came here to celebrate an accomplishment and it was a great celebration dinner. We (a party of 6) and had a lot of things. For appetizer we had the tuna tartare, calamari, and a cheeseboard. All were delicious and all the cheeses on the board were amazing. The calamari had a little bit of a kick to it but it was delicious. Most of us had the ribeye with horseradish. Omg. YUM. Delicious! The shareables were onion rings, fries, spinach, and duck fat potatoes. All were amazing but their fries are so good! Finally we ended with banana pudding, chocolate cake, and creme brûlée. There was nothing we didn't like. We loved everything! I would highly recommend this place!

Years ago we went to Bin 54 on a regular basis. Went there the other evening and the quality of the food and service have gone downhill. The meat was supposed to be medium, and it was well done. The rest of the dinner was sub par. It used to be such a friendly, welcoming place. It was disappointing.

I had a work holiday party in one of the private rooms, on a Wednesday night, and as the night progressed they had a full dining room. Although the dining room was full we had great private service and timely delivery of each course. My glass was never empty! The wine was especially great! My boyfriend and I opted off menu for the burgers and fries instead of the filet/salmon that was pre-picked for us. The staff were very accommodating and brought our food along with everyone else's attending. I also was able to try the Mac and cheese (another guest wanted that off menu) and was impressed! Had a strong garlic flavor but it was different and enjoyable. Our burgers were more on the medium side and someone at our table ordered their filet well done but it was verrrrry pink. But what can you expect for a steakhouse?! I'm not a steak person, which is why I usually don't visit steakhouses, but our meal was pretty good. Not a favorite of mine but pleasant experience. Great place to celebrate or have a small event in the chapel hill area!

A few things. First I was sat in the back room. It smelled like a fish factory and was roasting. The chairs were all ripped up. We were moved to the main dinning room. Next the bread was burnt. My steak was 50% fat. They took it off the bill. But I went home hungry. The potatoes were Luke warm. The bread was burnt. The service was good. All around a huge let down.

Bin 54 is a slightly noisy solid four star steak house. The apps are great minus the sad cheese plate which consists of three equally muted but delicious cheeses some rye crackers and some fruit. The steaks are great and the duck is on par. The hickory wood they use adds some nice notes. More than adequate wine list. Expect to spend a little: on average my dinner for two is right at $200 with wine.

I really enjoyed this place. I was treated here for my birthday, and compared to some other steak places nearby, it really delivered! We hung out at the bar for a while and got some great cocktails. We were seated right on time and had some great salads and (I was with my parents) my dad wondered aloud if they might have Prime Rib ... Everything on the menu looked good, but the waiter volunteered they did have prime rib because another large party had ordered it. Ohhhh boy! So my dad and I ordered that. My mom ordered filet mignon. Wonderful salads, but the prime rib was magnificent! Sometimes my dad and I recall excellent steak places (one of his is in Alberta) but I think this will have to be one of them now.

We are new to the Raleigh area and have been searching for that special place for special events. From the food to the service and ambiance they did not disappoint. We will return! You

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere for great steaks and good wine. Must visit when you are in Chapel Hill!

Food was super delicious and service was excellent. I would def recommend this steak house to others. Also I was surprised they had duck confit.

While this place does not look formidable from the outside, it is indeed one of the best steakhouses in the triangle. This place is classy, trendy, and beautiful. And to top it off, the food and dri KS are exquisite. Need wine? They've got a somme. Heck, you need vegetarian stuff? They even have amazing vege dishes too. Every time I come here, I have to be driven home by my wife because I enjoy lots of cocktails. Their steaks are to die for. Medium rare, medium well, or as I like them: black and blue--they're all phenomenal. Their sides are also exquisite, and I have oftentimes considered just going there for macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes and greens. This is one of the top restaurants in this area, and one that I'd take a friend to if they're spending just a weekend in town. The service is stellar, and I constantly find reasons to keep coming back. Top notch. Can't say enough great things. They work hard for their patrons and it shows.

By far the best steak house in the triangle... Incredible drink menu and ALA carte ordering.

Fantastic food. I recommend the Mac and cheese. Ribeye was spectacular as well. Lighting inside is quite dark but an overall lovely dining experience

Had the bone in Ribeye, hamburger, and Brussels. Overall the food was tasty however slightly on the salty side. The portions were generous and we had leftovers. They have an extensive alcohol menu ranging from beers to bottles that will set you back a month's rent. Was a nice spot for date night ambiance. Our server was friendly.

Bin 54 is well known as the most expensive restaurant in CH. I had dinner with 3 other colleagues there Wed night 3.12.24. I was shocked at how poor the food and service was. None of us enjoyed our food. We all ordered different things and all felt it was just "ok" at best. Bin is known for their steaks (and prices) The person that got the filet felt they could have done better at home. Certainly not food reflective of the prices. The service was terrible the waitress rolled her eyes at me for asking for my salad to be redone the way I had asked for it. I am a gluten free and vegan, so having to come to a place like Bin 54 is stressful for me and not my choice, it was a work dinner. The waitress was very annoyed and put out by my asks. Twice baked potatos and many other potatos were on the menu. Since there was NOTHING veagan on the menu I could eat, I asked if I could have a baked potato. Really not a big ask. She asked the kitchen and I was told no. Microwaving a potato for someone doesnt really put the kitchen out. There are just way too many things to list here that were beyond laughable, esp the waitress. The manager came over and said he was sorry and seemed genuine, and wished he had known earlier, but offered nothing. Not a sorry.not a dessert or anything to try to make something better. We all said we would never be back.

First thing we noticed was the very large booths, not a regular 4 seat U-booth, more like a 6 person U-booth. Meaning our 4 person group was a bit awkwardly seated. The bread to start was horrid, don't bother eating it. Show leather is better. The calamari starter was quite large and comes in a pretty good thin sauce. However, the cook on the calamari was very inconsistent. Some were pure rubber, and some were still nearly raw. I would not recommend it. The filet mignon and the ribeye were very well cooked and tasted delicious, if only we had gotten them when they were hot. It seems as though our steaks sat as our sides were cooked. The brussel sprouts were very good, the fries were just food, and the truffle mac and cheese was disappointing. The carrot cake and creme brulee were nice desserts. Nice, not great. The wait staff was all very professional, attentive, and pleasant. Our waiter was especially polished, having a "I take my job seriously" attitude, which is a welcome departure from most restaurants. On the other hand, the sommelier was way out of his depth. He couldn't help pick out a wine, had trouble answering basic questions, and apparently didn't know what "full bodied" meant because the wine we received was anything but. Overall, lots of potential to be a high brow steak restaurant, but ultimately they don't have all their ducks in a row to make it worth the high price tag.

Excellent meal! It was the Valentine's day dinner and it met all expectations. The service was wonderful and the room was comfortable and cozy. Well done!

Another awesome experience at the best steak house in town. Great for literally any occasion in my book. Raquel was fantastic and made the experience even more enjoyable. They do a great job separating the client dinner tables from people who actually want to hear their counterpart talk. WILL BE BACK!

I just ate here a few days ago for a birthday dinner. Besides me being with family, and our server Savannah the experience was not that great. To start, there were fruit flies in the private room we were dining in. On several occasions I had to try to remove one from my wine glass. Savannah was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and recommended some selections. Calamari was great. I also ordered the bacon appetizer which was just ok. I probably could have made it at home for a quarter of what I paid. For the entrees, I had the 6-oz filet (requested medium but got mid rare), and a side of creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes. My filet was 3 slices of beef. A morsel, if you will. The creamed spinach was bitter, and had zero flavor. The scalloped potatoes were a winner. It was probably the only seasoned item I had the entire night. A few of our guests had to send back a few items. Roasted potatoes that were burnt, another creamed spinach in which the dairy used was clearly spoiled, and everything was so bland. Seriously, not even a sprinkle of salt or pepper. I paid $167 for a meal for myself. Not really sure what I paid for at this point. For ambiance I'd give a thumbs up, but if you're looking for an excellent meal at this type of price point, this isn't it. Missed the mark for me.

Great food and service. It is a small place in a strip shopping center, but the atmosphere inside is great. I will go again.

If you follow my posts, I travel a lot and enjoy eating at local restaurants. I have to say this is one of my favorite restaurants nationally in terms of service, food, and ambiance. Let me highlight the food: 1. Bacon starter plate - awesome 1b. Tuna tartare - very good 2. Tomato soup - best I have eaten at a restaurant 3. Steaks were cooked to perfection 4. Brussels sprouts nicely cooked and crisp 5. Mac n cheese was tasty 6. Potatoes were flavored well 7. Creme Brûlée- exceptional 8. Chocolate cake - yummy and rich 9. Banana pudding - dynamite Regan helped us with wine selection and very knowledgeable. Wait staff was exceptional. Even Georgio the owner sat with us for a bit. Great hospitality. Highly recommend.
