Mietta's Review
The steak is good at Charcoal Grill on the Hill but the wine list is fantastic. With over 700 well-priced entries, this is a restaurant with a passionate commitment to wine. In addition to what is on offer daily, the restaurant also periodically announces wine evenings to profile specific varieties.
