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.

Grinder is the Resto we reserve for special occasions. Great oysters, perfectly cooked steak & fish, & friendly smiling staff. Seems like the go-to destination for the beautiful 30-somethings, lucky they let us in :) Highly recommended!

Great valet service on arrival, waiter heard us talking about how the heating lamps were too high & offered us to lower it without even us asking about it. Fast service & the food was to die for. We went for the 2 person Porterhouse, the cook was perfect & cut was one of the best.

Grinder is my standby in Montreal. I fell in love with this place the first time I visited it years ago & it hasn't dropped a beat. I love the scallops but probably order the salmon tartare most often; the trio with the tuna & steak tartare is a great introduction. The staff is so chill & so much fun… special shoutout to Kimberley who keeps everyone glowing 💕

Nous sommes allés dîner pour le Nouvel An. J'ai beaucoup aimé la nourriture, & l'ambiance était également très agréable. Il y avait un DJ, & nous avons reçu un verre gratuit pour porter un toast 🥂. La serveuse a toujours été très attentive & serviable. La seule chose, c'est que nous avons dû attendre un peu longtemps pour la nourriture, mais je ne sais pas si c'était à cause de la soirée du Nouvel An. C'est vraiment la seule chose qui pourrait être améliorée !

We had a fantastic experience.

Firstly the caesar salad was one of the best I've had at any restaurant, period. Beautifully dressed, crunchy croutons, amazingly prepared bacon & fresh greens.

We then split a NY Striploin & it was juicy. Cooked perfectly medium-rare. A fantastic cut. The accoutrements being the cherry on top. The fries were delicious & hand cut.

The cheesecake & caramel cake were both devine, a strong finish to an already stellar meal.

We thoroughly enjoyed the level of service we received & atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm big on cozy, moody lighting which this venue certainly has.

Flawless. No notes.
