For 25 years, Hereford Grill was a fixture of Miami’s dining scene, a steakhouse that drew celebrities, loyal regulars, and anyone who appreciated a well-fired cut of meat. Now, the iconic restaurant is back—reimagined for a new era, but firmly rooted in what made it a classic.
The revival comes under the leadership of Erasmo Da Silva, founder of Da Silva Hospitality Group, the team behind neighborhood favorite Zucca and the soon-to-open Italian food hall Zuccaly at The Plaza Coral Gables. While the group consulted with Michelin Guide–recognized Corte Comedor in Argentina to refine world-class grilling techniques, Da Silva is clear that Hereford Grill is not an imitation of any other concept.
“Hereford Grill stands on its own,” Da Silva says. “We serve only the finest, responsibly sourced cuts—selected for quality, traceability, and sustainability. Every steak that hits our wood-fire grill reflects our commitment to authentic, flavorful steakhouse dining.”
The restaurant has returned to its original address at 782 NW 42nd Avenue (Le Jeune Road), now redesigned as a 144-seat indoor-outdoor space anchored by a greenery-framed bar. The atmosphere blends warmth and refinement, pairing fine-dining service with a carefully curated, understated playlist. Upstairs, a private events space accommodates up to 95 guests, making it a new destination for corporate gatherings and celebrations.
At the heart of the menu is the Butcher’s Table, a showcase of sustainably raised, hormone-free premium cuts prepared over a precise combination of wood fire and charcoal. Highlights include Wagyu Denver and New York strip steaks from Snake River Farms, along with standout selections from Niman Ranch and Urien Loza. Guests will also find a grass-fed boneless rib eye, a certified Angus rib eye cap, and rotating bone-in specials such as porterhouse and tomahawk cowboy steaks.
The à la carte menu expands beyond the grill, drawing inspiration from international flavors. Starters range from grass-fed beef tartare with sweet potato strings to a rich lobster mac and cheese. A tableside Caesar salad made with baby gem lettuce adds a touch of old-school theater. Entrées include grilled branzino and potato gnocchi, while longtime fans will recognize returning classics like mixed arepas, sweet plantain rolls filled with white cheese, short rib croquettes with romesco, and tequeños served with papelón and passion fruit. Chorizos and morcillas are made in-house, as are all desserts, which include flambéed pancakes with dulce de leche, a flourless chocolate nemesis cake, Basque cheesecake, and a signature tres leches.
Just two months after reopening, Hereford Grill earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, recognizing the depth of its wine program and its thoughtful pairing with premium meats—a notable achievement for a restaurant still finding its footing in a competitive market.
The restaurant also leans into a sense of community with a lineup of weekly experiences: a daily happy hour; Two-for-One Tuesdays with all-day drink specials; Un-wind Wednesdays featuring 20 percent off select wines; and Sounds of Thursday, a romantic evening underscored by curated music. Saturdays spotlight the Butcher’s Menu for Two, a shared feast that includes a tableside Caesar salad, a 50-ounce certified Black Angus tomahawk steak with seasonal sides, and a house-made tres leches cake to finish.
With its return, Hereford Grill is not simply reopening—it’s reclaiming its place in Miami’s culinary story, bridging tradition and modernity one perfectly grilled steak at a time.
