About

Restaurant Grinder centers its culinary focus on high-quality cuts of beef and fresh seafood selections sourced for maximum flavor. 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. Patrons observe an industrial aesthetic characterized by exposed brick walls and high ceilings that frame the open concept layout. The drink selection features a robust variety of craft cocktails and spirits designed to complement the heavy proteins and rich sauces found throughout the kitchen repertoire. This venue maintains a commitment to ingredient-driven plates that highlight the technical precision required for effective open-fire cooking and traditional preparation methods.

Many guests enjoy the trendy, vibrant atmosphere and stylish interior, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions. While a large number of visitors praise the attentive and professional service provided by staff, others note inconsistencies, occasionally citing long wait times, noise levels that can make conversation difficult, or mixed experiences with certain side dishes and seafood seasoning.

Taste not worth the price. Tuna tartare is not as good as the kegs. Too sour & didn't like it's ginger taste. Colour of avocado looks oxidized. Asked to pack my $40 left over but they threw it out which why leaving a 2 star. We sat at the bar watching the bartenders using bare hand on everything, ice, mint leaves, lime, during the middle of omicron!

Came here for a work dinner. The food was great & the prices seemed very reasonable. All of the main meals (steak, fish, etc...) comes with your choice of a side included which seems pretty rare for a steakhouse-type restaurant these days. The vibe is more a young, hip, trendy one - not necessarily the place to bring your grandparents or for a formal business meeting. Free valet parking at the door is a huge perk since parking in the area is difficult. The staff were super welcoming & accommodating. I'd definitely come back here.

Très mal organisé, on réserve pour 21h on nous assis à 21:50. & nous demande d'attendre au king crab qui est un club/bar à proximité. C'est ridicule!! J'ai l'impression que la nourriture n'est plus aussi bonne qu'auparavant. La serveuse était superbe, super souriante & professionnelle, la seule raison pourquoi je donne 3*. Bref je ne pense plus y retourner, c'est devenu beaucoup trop petit & la qualité de la nourriture a chuté.

Service ok. Ambiance meh. Bouffe correcte mais overpriced, aligot qui est en réalité une purée de pomme de terre gratinée. J'ai reçu mon hamburger presque cru. J'avais des attentes élevées mais j'ai été déçue en général. Multitudes de meilleurs restaurant à Montréal.

La viande délicieuse, mais des à côtés préparés d'avance avec ce prix? Le service loin d'être à la hauteur. Une déception.
