I recently went to dinner at Bin 54 in chapel hill.

OVERALL REVIEW: 

• Good Food
• Great Wine
• Nice atmosphere
  
• Too expensive for what you get
  

Items we had:

• Pear soup (very good)
• Mixed green salad (fine, but nothing special)
• Spinach and Ricotta (very good)
• French Fries (YUMMY)
• Risotto (good)
• Filet Mignon (very good)
• Lamb special (o.k., nothing great and it was $42)
• Chocolate trio dessert (very good)
• Coffee (FABULOUS)

I recommend checking out the menu online before going. I am glad we checked it out, but would return to other favorites like Nana's and Magnolia Grill next time.
 

So I liked Bin54 a bit less than Shelley - and I thought it was way overpriced. But Ralitza and Sami pointed us in a new direction, and we are very happy!

12 of us went to Metro 8 last night - it's an Argentine steakhouse on 9th street here in Durham.

• Nice ambiance in main dining room - and a separate dining room for parties and stuff
• Great Mojitos and Caprihianas
• Good/cheap appetizers (grilled chorizo was nice for $4, hot spinach dip was nice for $7.50)
• The steaks were terrific - and much much better value than Bin54
• 16oz Churrasco (skirt steak) w/awesome chimichurri sauce - $21 (delicious)
  
• Half portion Churrasco - $14
• 28oz bone-in Cowboy Ribeye (delicious)
• Sides were tasty too
• Sauteed Broccolini (delicious)
  
• Super friendly owners!
