Résumé des avis

Les avis sur Grinder convergent vers une viande de grande qualité et des fruits de mer savoureux, avec des steaks notamment tomahawk et ribeye souvent décrits comme parfaitement cuits, des tartares et des plats de poisson qui séduisent, et des desserts appréciés comme le pudding chômeur qui concluent bien le repas; l'ambiance est décrite comme chic et chaleureuse, parfois bruyante et très animée lors des soirées, avec un décor industriel élégant et une lumière tamisée; le service est généralement loué pour son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance, les serveurs étant attentifs et efficaces, même en grande affluence, mais certains avis signalent des lenteurs et des petits ratés lorsque l'affluence est forte; le rapport qualité-prix est souvent jugé élevé mais justifié par la qualité des plats et l'expérience globale, avec des éléments positifs comme le valet à l'arrivée, des portions généreuses et une attention personnalisée; les points négatifs récurrents incluent des plats parfois servis tièdes, un manque d'assaisonnement sur certains plats, des tables serrées et un niveau de bruit élevé; au final Grinder ressort comme une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de viande et de fruits de mer à Montréal, adaptée pour des occasions spéciales ou des sorties entre amis, avec des retours qui encouragent à réserver et à tester différentes zones du restaurant pour optimiser l'expérience.

We've been to Grinder twice now, this time for Mother's Day, & both visits were fantastic. The food, service, & atmosphere all hit the mark.

My favourite thing on the menu has to be the Hamachi, so fresh & flavourful. This time around, we ordered the Wagyu carpaccio, Hamachi, French onion soup, steak (which came with a flight of sauces, loved that touch), & the short ribs. For sides, we had the sweet potato fries & mushrooms. The only small letdown was the mushrooms, not because they weren't good, but because they were different from the ones we had the first time, which we absolutely loved. Still tasty though!

Everything was delicious & well-executed. I'd definitely recommend trying this spot.

The last photo is from our first visit, surf & turf platter with those amazing mushrooms I was hoping to have again.

Burrata was OK - nothing special & not a lot of flavours

The steak was overly salty & you can't tell it's dry aged.

The waitress was nice but does not give good food recommendations. Servers throughout the meal kept carrying plates & hot food over my head. Near the end of the meal, they took my plate without asking & they constantly tried to kick us out by trying to collect our food without asking whether we were finished.

For the price point, you're better off trying something else.

Loved the steak & seafood share plates.

Update:
The owner was sad to hear about our experience & wanted us to leave with a better impression. He suggested we come a second time, on the house. Our second visit was very enjoyable, we opted for smaller appies & main meals instead of the larger sharing plate. Tuna tartare, fried calamary, NY steak & short ribs were all 10/10. To finish the night, the manager offered us dessert. We appreciate the time & effort the staff took to turn the situation around. I will be coming back. Thank you

Came for a steak, stayed for the suspense. After a 90-minute wait, my food arrived cold, impressive, really. The steak was so rare I almost named it & let it go. Sent it back, but it returned just as raw, only angrier.

Great place if you enjoy long waits & plot twists.

Music was good

Updated review :

The owner reached out to my boyfriend to understand what had happened during our first visit. He offered to have us come back for a second time, on the house, to make up for it.

We went back about a month later. We were greeted by Alejandro, the manager, who offered us a first round of drinks - just as good as the first time.

For starters, I had the tuna tartare & my boyfriend went with the fried calamari. Both were very good. For the main course, I had the short ribs (super tender) & he had the NY steak, cooked medium. Everything was solid.

The manager checked in on us without being overbearing, & he wrapped up the meal by offering us their pudding chômeur with soft-serve ice cream. Great dessert.

All in all, a much better experience than the first time. Thanks to the restaurant for taking the time to make things right. It doesn't go unnoticed

----------------
My boyfriend & I were really looking forward to trying this spot, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. We ordered the rib steak for two ($120) & asked for it medium rare.

We placed our order around 10 PM, when things were winding down, but waited at least 45 minutes without any updates. During that time, the waitress didn't check on us once. I eventually flagged her down, & she mentioned the delay was normal due to the size of the steak - fair enough, but a quick update would've gone a long way.

When the food finally arrived 10-15 minutes later, the steak was cold & extremely undercooked - basically raw. I asked to have it cooked a bit more, & surprisingly, the waitress admitted she knew it was undercooked when she brought it out. Her explanation? Their medium rare leans'on the rarer side.' That's not reassuring when you're paying top dollar. The table beside us had also returned their steak, not once but twice.

The steak came back slightly warmer, but still incredibly raw & tough. My boyfriend lost his appetite after a few bites & decided to take it home to finish cooking himself. I ate a little more, but felt like I got robbed of an experience. The sides didn't redeem the dish either - the mushrooms were way too salty & the mashed potatoes tasted like cardboard.

On the other hand, the drinks were very good & enjoyable.

When the bill came, I asked the waitress if it was normal for their steaks to come out like that. She admitted it was undercooked & apologized awkwardly, but no compensation was offered - no discount, no complimentary drink, nothing. For a $120 dish we barely touched, that was incredibly disappointing. After the drinks, our bill was way over 200$

As someone who works in the industry, I'd never serve a dish I knew wasn't right, especially after a long wait. I would have gotten the manager involved the first time the food was returned to the kitchen. It's better to communicate delays than to disappoint with poor food & service. Sadly, this experience missed the mark on both.

First & last visit. The place looks upscale, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. For a bill of $253 for two, we were served a single small steak, a bit of salad, two mojitos - & yes, I had to pay extra for the fries.

At that price point, the portions should be generous, & basics like fries shouldn't come as an add-on. It felt more like we paid for the presentation than the food.

Disappointing overall. Montreal has many restaurants that deliver far better value & satisfaction for half the price.

Excellent atmosphere & even better food! The tomahawk steak for two came with 4 different sauces so you can choose the one that suits your palate.

Une véritable pépite gastronomique à Montréal, le Restaurant Grinder allie raffinement, ambiance chaleureuse & service irréprochable. Dès l'entrée, l'atmosphère élégante mais décontractée donne le ton. Le personnel est attentionné, professionnel & parfaitement à l'écoute, ajoutant une touche personnalisée à chaque visite.

Côté assiette, c'est un sans-faute : des viandes d'une qualité exceptionnelle, parfaitement maîtrisées, des accompagnements savoureux & créatifs, & une carte des vins soigneusement sélectionnée. Mention spéciale pour le tartare de boeuf & le steak tomahawk, des incontournables à chaque passage.

Le souci du détail, la constance dans l'exécution & l'expérience client hors pair font du Grinder une référence incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne chère. Un restaurant où chaque visite devient une expérience mémorable. Bravo à toute l'équipe !

We were really craving a good steak dinner during our trip to Montreal & came across Grinder on Google as one of the more casual steak spots that still had reservations available. The overall vibe of the restaurant was chic & cozy-definitely a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal.

We ordered the surf & turf platter for 3, & the tomahawk steak was cooked to absolute perfection-perfectly medium rare & super flavorful. One of the sides we chose was the mushrooms, & they were a standout-highly recommend! The lobster, unfortunately, was a bit of a letdown-it didn't taste very fresh-but the quality of the tomahawks definitely made up for it. The cocktails were also well done & complemented the meal nicely.

The only downside for us was the table setup. The table was quite small for the size of the platter & portions, & with the way it was arranged for three people, it felt a bit awkward & cramped.

Overall, though, it was a solid steak dinner in a great setting. Would come back again, maybe with a bigger group & better table setup!

Kicked off the night at Grinder with a dozen fresh oysters-clean, briny, & the perfect start. For the main event, the rib steak for two didn't disappoint-juicy, flavorful, & beautifully cooked. The mashed potatoes & mushrooms on the side were rich & comforting without stealing the spotlight. It was a quiet night, which made it ideal for a business meeting-great ambiance, professional service, & just the right balance between upscale & relaxed. Solid choice for both steak lovers & those looking to talk business over a great meal.

We had a boys night. Amazing service at the little bar by Lee-Ann. We got the carpaccio & the oysters. Steak as a mean course. Good vibes- quick service - amazing waitress. We really recommend

Grinder Restaurant in Montreal is a lively & popular spot known for its vibrant atmosphere, great music, & stylish industrial-chic decor. The place was packed on a Friday night, creating a loud but energetic vibe. Despite the crowd, the hostess was accommodating & seated us at the bar, though service remained slow.

We ordered the 40 oz rib steak for two ($120), cooked to a perfect medium-rare but lacking in seasoning (salt). Fortunately, several sauces accompanied the dish, adding some extra flavor. The fries were excellent-crispy, well-seasoned, & addictive. We also tried the pomme de terre aligot, which was supposed to be a rich blend of purée, crème, & aged cheddar, but it didn't have a noticeable cheesy taste, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the mocktail was refreshing & well-balanced.

Overall, Grinder is a solid choice for steak lovers looking for a trendy, high-energy dining experience, but be prepared for a noisy atmosphere & potentially slow service during peak hours.

Le restaurant Grinder à Montréal est un endroit animé & prisé, connu pour son ambiance vibrante, sa bonne musique & son décor industriel chic. L'endroit était bondé un vendredi soir, créant une atmosphère bruyante mais énergique. Malgré l'affluence, l'hôtesse a été accueillante & nous a installés au bar, bien que le service soit resté lent.

Nous avons commandé une côte de boeuf de 40 oz pour deux (120 $), cuit à la perfection en cuisson médium-saignant, mais manquant d'assaisonnement (sel). Heureusement, plusieurs sauces accompagnaient le plat, ajoutant un peu de saveur. Les frites étaient excellentes-croustillantes, bien assaisonnées & très savoureuses. Nous avons également essayé la pomme de terre aligot, censée être un mélange gourmand de purée, crème & cheddar vieilli, mais le goût du fromage était à peine perceptible, ce qui était décevant. En revanche, le mocktail était rafraîchissant & bien équilibré.

Dans l'ensemble, Grinder est une bonne place pour les amateurs de steak à la recherche d'une expérience culinaire tendance & dynamique, mais préparez-vous à une ambiance bruyante & à un service potentiellement lent aux heures de pointe.

It felt warm & cozy in the middle following a snow storm. The food was excellent & I'd definately go back to try the sharing plate. A little more light would be nice (to read the menus) but that may be my old eyes. I had steak tartare & scallops & no regrets!

Firstly, shoutout to Jake for being an amazing server. This guy was on point from start to finish & really made our night, he works hard & remembers details, great hospitality. The vibes here were awesome, the appetizers was really good, the cocktails were amazing… unfortunately they fell short on the meat. The Wagyu was chewy like a tire, cut way too think & the tomahawks were not good. We'd come back here but we'd probably avoid the steaks, everything else truly was awesome. Jake you're the man!

Grinder is a must. We came to celebrate a milestone birthday & had the perfect evening!
The atmosphere was perfect - great buzz & ambiance & love the decor.
The service was amazing - very attentive, accommodating, staff was friendly, guided us through some menu questions, & did everything with a beautiful smile. We asked to move tables (we were close to a heat lamp & wanted a bit more space). It was a bustling Friday night, but they made it happen & were so nice & accommodating. The manager checked on us several times throughout the meal to make sure things were good.
Oh, & the FOOD! The Food. Everything was so delicious. There are no wrong choices on this menu! We shared the Hamachi Sashimi & Calamari to start, & steaks (NY Strip & Hanger) for our mains. Portion sizes were perfect, steak cooked to perfection & flavours were on point.
The sweet potato fries are some of the best I've ever tasted & the green beans were perfectly cooked in a zesty chili lemon dressing that was the perfect balance of tang & heat.
Our server surprised us with an amazing complimentary birthday pudding a la mode. There is nothing that could have been improved.
Special shout out to the manager & our server (D) who made our birthday celebration so fun & memorable. Will definitely be back!

We took surf & turf & it was delicious. Steak & shrimps were perfectly juicy but the lobster was little dry. I wouldn’t recommend the lobster. But rest of the food was amazing.

C'est coûteux, mais ça vaut le prix! Le steak rib eye était INCROYABLE! Il était servi avec 5 sauces & des frites, la cuisson était PARFAITE! & que dire des boulettes végétaliennes & du pouding chômeur! Le service d'Alejandro était impeccable & professionnel! Souper mémorable! Bravo!

My friends & I took the Tomahawk with lobsters, shrimps & scallops & it was okay. The steak was good but seafood was dry/overcooked but hey they give you sauces for your steak that you can dip or the butter lemon. The only sauce that was good for me was the chimichurri & the mushrooms were on the salty side which I thought was just me but my friends also thought the same. I don't know if the value is there though honestly as we didn't think the portions were enough for the price we paid. Service is where it shines here as they were all awesome but I do wish they would have introduced themselves so I can give a kudos here. The atmosphere is where it falls the most as the music was very loud & we really had to talk loud amongst ourselves. Overall I wouldn't come back because of the atmosphere as I couldn't enjoy my food & have a good conversation but if loud music is your thing, then this place is for you, just don't order seafood!

Service & Food is 5 Star, the steak is the highlight the show. Scallops & shrimp are great as well. Lobster needs some work. Friendly staff & nice ambience
