Bin 54 Steak Cellar - Chapel Hill

Been here many times and the place never disappoints. A sommelier on site and very knowledgeable.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and I really wanted it to be special for my wife and I. I mentioned it to our server and after seeing the table next to us also celebrating something and have the manager wish them well and bring a nice dessert, we had hoped the same. However, there was nothing else said to us or well wishes for our anniversary. Our food was also extremely late coming out (over an hour after we ordered it). My wife’s steak was cold and they had to bring it back to the grill to warm it up. Overall, we felt the food was overpriced for what you get, and it seems the kitchen had some kinks to work out. I’m not sure if our server was new, but they seemed flustered and didn’t mention our celebration for being there. Overall disappointing considering how much money we spent.

We have been to Bin54 for date nights, business meetings, and larger office parties. I am always impressed by the hospitality and food quality. Dining here is a special treat we look forward to.

They knew it was our anniversary, and they really took the time to make us feel special. Truly. We eat at all the nice restaurants around: M Sushi, Hawthorne Wood, The Lantern, etc. We love those places, and the food/atmosphere/service are great at those places, but we’ve never been so completely taken care of, aside from Herons…and that’s an entirely other OTHER price point. Treat yourself to a romantic night here. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks, Bin 54.

I'm actually giving a 4.7 but didn't want to give just 4 stars. This place was almost perfect.. the food was hot and fresh, drinks were good and strong and the service was great. The only thing I didn't like was the cheese used for the Mac and cheese . It looked soooo good , thick and cheesy but the flavor was weird. It tasted sweet and kind of like a blueberry muffin.. if they changed it to something sharp this would be my favorite spot. I highly recommend the duck fat potatoes and mussels.
