Honestly for the price the seafood plate wasn't really worth it. The seafood place was good. The best were the pétoncles we ordered more of those because they were amaaaazing. The cookie & ice cream dessert were also super good.

Food was delicious. Ordered the burger salmon tartare & the 40oz steak. It was seared on the outside just the way I like it. A couple unusual things however: the steak came pre cut & it was very chewy unlike any quality primerib I've ever had. I asked if there was a mixup with the cut but they assured me there wasn't.

Service started amazing by a young man who was very knowledgeable & provided great recommendations,then our server disappeared & all of a sudden we had various people looking after us.

Asked the waitress to change my meal 5 mins after ordering my food & she told me she was to busy to change it i will have to deal with whatever i ordered. Waited 30 minutes on our table after we made reservations earlier in the day. & about 1 hr & 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We also waited 1 hour for our drinks & i ordered a ginger ale. Waitress had terrible service & food recommendation. The restaurant atmosphere was great just terrible waitress

Five stars all around! I recently visited Grinder & sat at the bar, & it was hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've had in Montreal.
The food was absolutely amazing, & the drinks were delicious & crafted to perfection. What truly set the night apart, though, was the impeccable service. Our waitress, Emma, was extraordinary--she went above & beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, offering great recommendations & keeping the energy high the entire evening.
Fantastic atmosphere, incredible vibes, & top-tier hos-pitality. Highly recommend sitting at the bar & asking for Emmal

We entered this restaurant by coincidence, & we just had the best time ever! The food & the drinks were amazing, but the service was out of this world! Out of our four nights in Montreal, we spent two nights here. For Alejandro, the manager, this is not a job; it's his passion.
