"The service and dining experience was incredible!
If loud noises bother you, I suggest you request to dine on their lovely patio,
instead of in their main dining room."

"Had dinner with friends from out of town (looking to move here). We had a deliciouse meal. The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, solicitous but not overbearing. It was a really nice night."

"The entire meal was enjoyable and filling. Some of the best food we have had, and definitely the best steak in the Triangle. It is pricey, but it is worth the price. The service was also very good, with the staff being attentive without over doing it. We will return for other special occasions."

"Food was outstanding! I was not happy with the service specifically from the waiter the other staff were excellent but the waiter was bad, He was very knowledgeable of the menu but his demeanor was bad, wasn’t at all pleasant or friendly I was expecting the waiter to be welcoming, approachable he was so standoffish like He was too good of a waiter to be dealing with us.... other than that everything was good... I was so jealous of other tables that had another waiter!
Will be back though, food was amazing!"

"My husband and I come here every time one of us publishes a paper. We absolutely love it! The chef is amazing. We are both foodies and very picky about beef. The steaks here are always cooked to perfection. The shellfish is phenomenal as well. You can't go wrong with any of the appetizers (we have never tried the seafood entrees), but our favorite is the scallops on a truffle potato puree. The service is friendly and understated, the staff always seamlessly takes care of us. If you have never been to Bin54, time to add it to your list!"

"I was extremely disappointed in my visit. The food was incredibly expensive for the portions and was just "eh" tasting. My biggest complaint was the service. I do not recall his name (I wish I could). We had to ask for EVERYTHING. I had to stack the empty plates on the table to get him to take them away. I had to do this TWICE! Never asked to refill my empty diet coke glass. He came to check on us about 5 minutes before we had completed our meal (too late to have done anything if it were inadequate). Then we had to ask for our check. Also, I told the waitress that it was my boyfriend's birthday. They said they'd do something special - NOTHING. Very very disappointed."
