Last weekend, my husband and I hit up Station 45 American Chophouse in Binghamton’s old Lackawanna Train Station, and man. The place nails this mix of historic charm—think 1900s woodwork and ticket windows-with a modern, upscale feel, complete with a cozy fireplace and a sleek marble bar. We went straight for the seafood, and it did not disappoint. I got the seared scallops with risotto, and holy cow-those scallops were perfectly caramelized, tender inside, sitting on a bed of creamy risotto. Our server, a super-friendly local, recommended a crisp sauvignon blanc that paired like a dream with both dishes. Make reservations for the weekend.

Stopped for dinner on our way home from further north. The decor was stunning. They honored the history without it feeling stuffy or “old”, and included just the right amount of modern.
We sat at the bar, which offers the full restaurant menu. There is outdoor seating, but he menu is limited. Be aware, this seems to be the go to for typing professionals right after will, so “happy hour” was quite busy!
Our bartender was friendly and quite knowledgeable of the building and it’s history! Drinks were very good as well.
All of the food was spectacular!!! Oysters are super fresh. The creamy chicken and vegetable soup, as mundane as that may sound, was amazing. Silky and light with a vegetable mix. My husband’s French onion soup was also stellar. He ordered a filet mignon that came out perfectly cooked, with one of the best Bernaise sauces we’ve had in years. My Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection, and the risotto was smooth and creamy without overcooking the rice.
We will definitely be back!

Visiting from California, I had a wonderful evening at Station 45 — thoughtful food, gracious service, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to return. I’ll gladly visit again the next time I’m in Binghamton.

My first visit to Station 45 on June 11 was a wonderful dining experience. From the service to the food.
I would like to thank my waitress Lauren for her wonderful service and for answering any questions I had.
My dinner started with a glass of Sequoia Grove wine. It had a nice taste.
My appetizer was the eggplant stack. Nice size slices of eggplant, cooked perfectly with tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese. It had a wonderful taste.
Then came the French Onion soup. A favorite of mine, I always order it if it’s on the menu. This didn’t disappoint me with French Swiss and provolone cheese. Plenty of onions and a rich broth, cheese melted perfectly. It’s topped with two nice pieces of thick bread.
Now to the main course. A veal chop with milanese butter and asparagus.
Veal has always been a favorite of mine. This didn’t disappoint. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, melted in my mouth, topped with the milanese butter gave it an amazing taste. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch to it.
Now on to dessert. The chocolate mud cake. No words can describe how amazing this was. It was fantastic. The whipped cream and chocolate crumb topping enhanced the flavor.
I will definitely be returning soon to try other of the amazing dishes on the menu.
Definitely give them a try if you are in the area.

I was impressed. Up scale chop house that hits the mark. When we walked in, our table was ready and waiting at our reservation time. The server greeted us quickly, took our drink orders and explained the specials. She was very attentive all evening coming back multiple times to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. The menu is varied from sandwiches, to sea food, and steaks. My companion had the Philly cheese steak. Huge portion and very tasty came with fries. I opted for the NY strip. Again a generous cut cooked to the proper temperature. Both were excellent. We were too full for dessert but it too looked appealing, chocolate cake, and fried Oreos to name a few. Overall very nice dining experience. We will be going back again

We went here for Valentines dinner. The atmosphere was so inviting and cozy. The lobster bisque is an absolute must. It’s so delicious. My boyfriend got the porkchop and I must admit it was delicious the sear and the flavor of that chop, outstanding! I got the sea bass with risotto. I do admit the sea bass although good could have used a little more flavor. We will definitely be returning!

Decided to try this place out after anticipating it’s opening for quite some time. The atmosphere was wonderful and the waiter was awesome. Decided to go small on my initial order and tried their cheese steak sandwich as a basic starting point. The meat was well cooked and bathed in cheese but I was a tad disappointed when it came to the full flavor; surprisingly lacking. I think some additional seasoning is needed and a slightly softer bread to send this dish over the top. With that said, I had a great time and I definitely plan on revisiting and trying one of their higher end dishes.
