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.

Came for lunch & tried the burger. Extraordinary taste! You need a big mouth though or a sophisticated burger eating technique, it’s worth it!

It’s a great place & the staff is super friendly, helpful & attentive. Looking forward to coming back 😃

August 14 made reservations for 8 but was unaware that the reservations was for 2 hours only.When it came time to order dessert the waiter told us that if we wanted dessert we had 15 minutes to eat it because our time was up & that they needed the table for other clients.I asked to speak to the manager who aggravated me even more with her condescending attitude insinuating that we were told.I very politely told her that the people I was with were regulars at Grinder & never heard of such a thing & that it was my first time & surely my last time .After pointing out that we were not there for just coffee & cake .We had spent $650.00 & if not having put a time limit on our stay we could of very well spent another 2 to 3 hundred dollars more.I would of understood if it was closing time because it is only normal that one wants to go home after a long & hard day's work,Not the case here.Her attitude very unprofessional & very insulting for paying clients.Therefore in order to avoid unnecessary frustrations a well exposed sign should be place at the front door indicating their 2 hour policy. Never again!

Belle place, bonne ambiance.

On ne peut malheureusement pas juste prendre un verre. Mais somme toute la nourriture y est bonne & le service est OK quoi que le staff se la joue pas mal.
