What Zoe Mayert doesn't like about Charcoal Grill on the Hill:
A party of 10 on arrival we were told bluntly by the waitstaff that we were required to have at least two courses. This set the tone for the rest of the evening. We enjoyed the steak which was accompanied by ordinary fries,Cos lettuce salad and shredded cabbage provided for the table. Wine was very expensive with only a couple of brands less than $80 and the majority very expensive too expensive for this type of esta... View all feedback. What Elizabeth Satterfield likes about Charcoal Grill on the Hill:
Friendly knowledgeable staff made my choosing a meal (meat, meat & more meat) easy. Steak was tender and cooked to perfection. Good wine to accompany, and a lovely pickled cabbage (seriously). Pity I'm surrounded by vegetarians. However a great place for going solo, as well as in a group. View all feedback.

Charcoal Grill, once considered a top steak restaurant in Melbourne, has received mixed reviews as of late. While some diners were disappointed in the quality and value of the steaks, others praised the tenderness and flavor. The lack of sides and small portions of chips left some guests wanting more. However, regular patrons appreciated the warm welcome and expert recommendations from the staff. The wine list was also a highlight for many customers. Despite the mixed feedback, the restaurant still maintains a loyal following who appreciate the quality of the aged meat and unique cooking process. Ultimately, whether or not the Charcoal Grill is worth a visit may depend on individual taste preferences and budget considerations.

The price is a bit expensive, a bottle of sparkling water costs 15, and the steak is not cheap. But everything was delicious. Date pudding is probably the best...
