About

The establishment prepares various steak cuts utilizing specialized grilling techniques to ensure consistent texture and charred exteriors. Beyond the meat offerings, the menu incorporates a diverse array of fish and shellfish prepared with classic French-inspired techniques that prioritize natural ingredients.

I've had dinner at Grinder a few times & I really enjoy the food here. My only issue is how loud the music/atmosphere is. It's really bad. I can barely hear myself think nor have a conversation. Im sure many would agree seeing that other diners are usually speaking really loud amongst themselves to try & talk over the loud music...making it even worse. Wouldn't call this restaurant intimate.

Wow wow wow wow wow ! Parfait de l'acceuil a l'entree jusqu'a la fin ! Ambiance agreable, il faut crier un peu pour s'entendre parler, mais ca va. Aliments frais, gout excellent. La cuisson du steak est A1 ! Ca c'est un vrai steakhouse comme on les aime ! Definitivement a revisiter !

By far one of the best filet mignons I've ever had. The staff are all great & very friendly there. If you get there before 6-7 it's more quiet but after 7 it does get quite busy & quite loud on the weekends. Honestly if you're looking for a place that can cook up some solid steak this is your spot. I highly recommend the side creamy/cheesy mash potatoes. Wow!

Le bruit est vraiment désagréable. Excellent entrée (carpaccio). Eye rib sans saveur. Impossible de profiter de sa soirée avec la musique à fond & le monde qui crie.

It's not always easy to know where to take people when you have a group from work that need to meet & catch up from all over the world, but I'm very happy with the choice of going to Grinder. Amazing meat & awesome atmosphere that was not too loud for conversations.

Grinder's steaks are always great. Just like once you watch high-definition TV, you can never go back to the DVD era. Once you enjoy the taste experience of a real good steak, you can never go back to the VCD era. This is only a good steakhouse can bring a high-quality experience to foodies. Grinder's Tomahawk Steak is full of flavor, 40oz is quite satisfying, & comes with four classic sauces. The set price of the Tomahawk Steak already includes two side dishes of your choice. Happiness lies in this moment! & I really like its atmosphere. There is a DJ playing good songs for a great vibe. It is a restaurant that becomes more beautiful as the night goes by.(2024 Apr) Big enough to taste, To help you wipe out hunger.(2022 Dec)
