Preface: I do so wish I could give half stars, Hereford would be a 4.5. But they’re not a five so it’s gotta be 4. My overall impression of Hereford Steakhouse Char Grill is that it’s a fantastic restaurant and steakhouse for the area, but missed a few marks here and there. Firstly the sole waitress and maître die was fantastic, quick, efficient, charming and confident. She ran the bar, seated guests and served meals by herself as if she were a 3 person team. Fantastic. The meals aim at a “nice restaurant” vibe but don’t quite carry the care, nuance and attention to detail that a “nice restaurant” would have. My entree was the crumbed bocconcini with tomato chilli sauce. They were delicious, cooked just right although the tomato chilli sauce had a great tomato flavour but no trace of chilli. For main I ordered a 250gm rump fillet, medium rare with blue cheese sauce and pepper sauce, chat potatoes with sour cream and the green beans and almonds. The steak was a solid medium, bordering on well done. The potatoes were fairly plain and slightly undercooked while the green beans, which were delicious, were again on the over cooked side. Was the food delicious? Yes. Would I come back again? Probably. I felt like I was getting what I paid for, but I feel that on a different night I might order the same thing and be blown away. For dessert I had, at the waitresses recommendation, the sticky date pudding, which was genuinely fantastic. I leave well fed and grateful and would recommend coming here for a relaxed but high quality dinner.

Never a bad meal here. Very good steaks, sausages, and lamb shanks.
