Bin 54 Steak & Cellar

"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."

"The location is a little far out of the way, but it's really got excellent service, decent steaks, and great sides. I had the new York strip, it wasn't Gallagher's level, but for the area was good. The sides were stellar however, the wild mushrooms were great, the banana pudding phenomenal, and while I didn't care for the calamari, others seemed to like it a lot (at little sweet for me). It's got a nice vibe to it, and while I'd have liked a fire place or something instead of a giant mirror the private room was elegant."

"came here for a family event on 10.29.23, my parents 60th diamond anniversary. a little irritated at first that the waiter is pushy about putting an alcoholic beverage in my hand before my entire party arrived, that's not very classy actually. Do I seem desperate to get my drink on? Like I've never consumed alcohol before and just turned 21? Also when you request sparkling water, can you just put the entire bottle on the table? Thank you. I ordered the 10 oz fillet Mignon, medium + they had it cooked as. It was for me a little bit too pink + a tinge bloody. they said they cook it over hickory wood but didn't really taste any of the smokiness in the meat. no biggie just a minor detail. It was moist and I could tell the meat was high grade. However a bit ridiculously overpriced. Unless this is somehow Kobe beef or we're going through a beef famine, not sure why that is. Perhaps because there's not much competition in the fine dining arena here. I can head to my local butcher and pick up some farm to table quality fillet mignon and cook it over firewood easily enough. Just to cite an example I can go to my favorite Argentinian steakhouse in Chicago (Tango Sur) and get the el'filet which is 2 medallions of Fillet Mignon, a side of green mashed potatoes for $22. So $42 fillet mignon failed to blow my mind away. I do like the servers pouring my wine, but I don't like how they ration the pouring of the wine. What if I wanted more? They should ask me when to stop instead of pre-determining this. Also I was thinking I was too underdressed until I arrived and saw some dudes in surrounding vicinity dressed in t-shirts looking like complete slobs. Can you at least look like you're not at Biscuitville or Bojangles? Nobodies asking you to get dressed up in a suit or tux but at least make an effort to be respectably presentable. What REALLY irritates the heck out of me: sides, which they've dubbed 'companions' are Á La Carte. That's a capital sin in Chicago where I'm originally from, and which is legendary for steak. I half imagine it's similar if not moreso here in the south. I know the owner is Greek but last I checked this wasn't Greece, and maybe that's a Greek thing but it really ensured I'll never be returning back here anytime soon. I will praise their salmon dish, my aunt raved about it and said it was the best she's had in a long time."

"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!"
