Je viens +/- dîner ici une fois semaine & l'expérience est toujours excellente. Le service est particulièrement remarquable en semaine grâce à Kim & Jennifer - toujours accueillantes, efficaces & attentives aux détails. On se sent vraiment bien servi & reconnu comme client régulier. La nourriture est constante & de qualité mais c'est vraiment le service qui fait la différence. Je recommande sans hésiter !

All the food was amazing but service was questionable, they kept forgetting to bring us things that came with our dishes. I would still recommend.

I had the calamari & the halibut. Both were delicious. Each dish was cooked to perfection & paired with rich, flavorful sauces.

This was my second time at Grinder in the same week.

What really makes the experience worth coming back for is the attentive service. I had Alejandro both times, & he delivers a level of service that's rare to find.

Service is an art form, & they truly get it at Grinder.

Highly recommend.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous & well worth the price. The restaurant was clean & well-maintained, & despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon & would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & excellent service. Five stars!

On Valentine's Day, we reserved a table for two at Grinder for our first visit - & it truly exceeded our expectations.
When we arrived, a very kind gentleman named Etienne welcomed us warmly & showed us to our table. Shortly after, our waiter Devin took care of us with such professionalism & genuine kindness. The atmosphere was vibrant yet romantic - perfect for a special evening.
We started with the Wagyu beef carpaccio & fried calamari, both absolutely delicious & beautifully presented. For our main course, we originally ordered the 40 oz Côte de Boeuf to share. After our appetizers, Etienne kindly informed us that they had unfortunately run out of it & offered two 20 oz New York style steaks instead. We agreed, & the way he handled the situation was incredibly thoughtful & professional.
To make up for the inconvenience, Etienne generously offered us complimentary cocktails. He even came back to confirm our drinks & surprised us with three cocktails, personally joining us for a cheerful toast & wishing my boyfriend a happy birthday. That personal touch made the night so special.
Our steaks were outstanding - perfectly cooked & full of flavor. To end the evening, they brought us a dessert with ice cream on the house for my boyfriend's birthday, which was such a sweet gesture.
Everything from the service to the food & atmosphere was exceptional. A huge thank you to Etienne & Devin for making our night so memorable. We highly recommend Grinder & will definitely be back!
