Grenade - Resto-bar et terrasse

Not going for the food again...very mediocre & expensive. For a three-choice dish at $27 for 2 (& needless to say Smurf-like portions), I`;d rather go to Brasserie T or Taverne F...THAT is very good food.

Bar Grenade is just good for a pint of beer & the terrace

I had seen pictures of the patio at Grenade which in all honesty was probably one of the biggest draws that led to us choosing this spot for dinner & drinks, but I really can't say enough about the food. We ordered multiple sharing plates, some appetizers & a few mains & every single dish got rave reviews. The decor on the interior of the bar (particularly when one first walks in) left a bit to be desired, so I strongly recommend going on a nice night when you're able to take advantage of their fantastic patio. Highly recommend!

J'ai été impressionnée par la qualité de la nourriture pour un bar. Les portions sont un peu petites pour un repas, mais idéales pour un snack de soirée.

Excellent service, bonne bouffe, bonne ambiance... Chaises extrêmement inconfortables... privilégier le bar ou les banquettes!!! Musique un peu forte... Nous avions une réservation pour 16 personnes & nous sommes dans l'ensemble très satisfaits!!! :)

Mon compagnon & moi aimons beaucoup ce bar, bons cocktails, bonne bouffe, déco sympa & terrasse qui nous donne envie d'être en été pour la tester. Hier nous avons amené 5 amis, malheureusement nous étions sous une enceinte comme beaucoup de table, & la musique était tellement forte que nous étions obligé de crier pour nous parler...
Autant dire que ça a un peu gâché le moment... Nous avons demandé au serveur de baisser mais il a refusé. Nos amis on beaucoup moins aimé l'endroit que nous à cause de cela & nous avons fini par écourter notre soirée, saoulés par cette musique trop forte. 🙁

We went to Grenade this summer & it was pleasant, as we sat on the terrace during a beautiful day to have a beer, & all in all it was a good experience. Because of this we decided to go back again more recently for a friends birthday to have drinks & a light meal. I called ahead to see if I could organize a birthday cake presentation, & I was open to bringing the cake myself if need be. I was told that they do not sing birthday songs flat out. Okay fine, fair enough. Upon entering the restaurant almost all the tables had reserve signs on them except one under the blaring speaker & one other table directly in front of the door (it was - 22). My feeling is that it would have been nice for them to tell me over the phone that I needed to place a reservation. Yes, I should have asked, but still, it feels somewhat disingenuous to not mention anything at all. Anyway, we took an area far away from the speaker at the bar. The service was not great either. While we were still in the process of looking at the menu with our party when the waiter came over to take my menu from my hands, & when I pointed out that would have left us with only 1 menu for 4 people he asked if we could share, I said no. In a passive aggressive jab, he came over with one more menu. At this point, the restaurant was far from busy, so it hardly should have meant scarce menus! I ordered the pad thai, edamame, & dumplings. For 15$, it was by far the worst pad thai I have ever had in my life. Terrible overcooked noodles with salty generic peanut sauce & doused in soy sauce. The edamame was equally disgusting with the peas swimming in crappy sauce & sesame seeds. Gross. He also served the beers with excess head & beer dripping down the sides of the glasses. Pretty lame for a place that supposedly prides itself on being a bar.

Score on service by phone: 1 out of 5 (not informing me of needing a reservation)
Score on food: 1 out of 5 (really bad)
Score on service: 2 out of 5
Score on atmosphere: 2 out of 5 (playing top 40 party tunes really loud at 8 at night ie. Outkast Hey Ya this needs to wait until at least 11 or 12AM, hello!)
