Review content: 
We headed to Bin 54 after an inspiring Playmakers production Thursday night, and were pleasantly surprised by the originality of the supersized upholstered wall panels and splashes of warm, red lighting throughout. Unfortunately though, we were seated at a table by a mirrored wall at the entrance with a harsh overhead light -- not at all flattering or conducive to a cozy settling-in. But, tables here aren't too close. The restaurant was noisy to the point that making ourselves heard felt like a workout at the gym. The silverware was heavy, chic. As our server announced the specials in rapturous tones, I felt a wry twinge: ""And tonight our special is scalloped potatoes with truffle sauce."" I imagined a truffle sauce squiggle attempting to dress up pedestrian scalloped potatoes. Hmmm. The wine steward, himself more home-town than big city, seemed to sniff with disdain as he announced our wine and twisted off the cap to our $38 bottle of wine, admittedly on the low end of Bin 54's wine offerings. The wine list was esoteric and extensive, however, and our wine WAS refreshing with our non-steak dinner choices. The crusty, but slightly doughy, bread was warm, something you don't always find. Our wood grilled quail appetizer was truly horribly salty. I was stunned by the repeated, truly excessive use of salt in our entree, the wild alaskan halibut. My SO pointed out the open salt cellar on the table. Perhaps the lesson is to stick to steak here. We had chosen brussels sprouts, which were extolled by our server, herself a confirmed brussel sprout hater except for those at Bin 54. They were almost mushy, and not as flavorful as I myself have cooked at home after proper caramelizing. Our cheescake dessert was fine, not by any stretch of the imagination noteworthy. The coffee wasn't bad, but not as rich, full-bodied or even as hot as I would have expected. Perhaps sometime we'll go again to try the steak and the truffle sauce. After all, this is a steak restaurant. Pros: Wine list Cons: Non-steak offerings, noise level
