Review Summary

Restaurant Grinder is frequently praised for its exceptional food, particularly the high-quality steaks, surf and turf platters, and popular sides like the pudding chômeur. Many guests highlight the vibrant, moody atmosphere and the professional, attentive service provided by the staff, which often makes for a memorable dining experience. While the majority of visitors have a fantastic time and look forward to returning, some patrons note that the restaurant can be quite noisy and that table spacing may feel cramped during busy periods. Occasional inconsistencies in service speed and food preparation have been mentioned, but management is noted for being responsive to feedback and dedicated to ensuring guest satisfaction.

Amazing experience in all senses. Food, attention & ambient were all very nice. The filet mignon I ordered was super tasty, one of the best I ever ate. I will go again in my next visit to the city, for sure. Make sure you book a table, it use to be full!

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.

The food & customer service was excellent! The reason why Im rating the atmosphere a 2 stars is because the place was infested with flies. One of my colleague almost swallow one while talking.

Food was amazing! We got the platter for 2 it's a great deal at 85$ per person! They have their own butcher. Everything was top shelf! service was ok.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & the food was really delicious. The service was also excellent & very professional. However, the noise level was a bit too much, & I wouldn't recommend going there on a hot summer day-there was no proper air conditioning, & it was extremely hot inside. I think this place is great for hanging out with friends, but not suitable for celebrating special occasions.

La musique est trop forte, j'ai été inconfortable pendant tout le repas!

Sinon bon service & bonne bouffe
Mais de grâce diminuer un peu la musique c'est pas tout le monde qui est confortable avec ça.

Long wait for food.
