Reviews
Atmosphere : very dark and a bit outdated (idk, maybe it is regular decor of a steakhouse)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.
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.
– 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.
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.
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!
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.
