Info & Location
Grinder restaurant is located on Notre-Dame street, in the heart of Griffintown. Indeed, this neighborhood located in the southwest of Montreal is dynamic and promising; residential and commercial projects are already underway.
The original decor screams Zébulon Perron (Furco, Buvette à Simone, Philémon). He created a comfortable and warm restaurant, kitchen and raw bar. Grinder characterizes itself by vintage and modern elements such as glass and metal.
On the menu, raw & cooked items: tartares, tatakis, ceviches, carpaccios, etc. Also on the menu, steaks and grilled or braised pieces of meats, all to be shared. Grinder also offers a variety of fish and seafood, served cooked or raw as well. More than a simple steakhouse, all food lovers will find something to their liking among their selection of fresh products.
A 100% of their wine list consists of privately imported wines, always changing with the seasons, and of course focusing on wines produced while respecting nature.

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

A very loud place . Nice decor , perhaps at lunch it is not so loud & is better to visit.
Long wait for food.View more

I almost never write reviews, but the experience we had here absolutely deserves recognition. We came in as a large group of 20 for a work dinner, & I still can't wrap my head around how flawless the service was.
Our main server was simply outstanding-somehow managing to make each of us feel like we were his sole focus all evening. Every request was met instantly, & he had an effortless way of anticipating what we'd need before we even asked. His right-hand support person was equally fantastic: water glasses were magically refilled before they ever got close to empty, plates were cleared promptly, & everything just flowed seamlessly.
The food itself was excellent, beautifully prepared & full of flavour. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, perfect for both professional gatherings & special occasions.
If you're considering booking for a group (or honestly any occasion), don't hesitate. This was truly top-notch service that turned a nice meal into a memorable experience.View more

Food was a solid 10. Atmosphere? On point.
But when it comes to service, the details matter - & unfortunately, that's where things completely fell apart.
I've never seen a server look so lost. It took 45 minutes just to get a bottle of wine, & when it finally arrived, the opening process was awkward & honestly embarrassing.
Drinks & shots were forgotten. Our order wasn't even punched in until 30 minutes after we placed it; only noticed when the server came back to clarify something with a friend.
When you're charging premium prices for food & wine, the level of service has to match. Sadly, it didn't, & it really did ruin what could have been a great night.View more

Burrata was OK - nothing special & not a lot of flavours
The steak was overly salty & you can't tell it's dry aged.
The waitress was nice but does not give good food recommendations. Servers throughout the meal kept carrying plates & hot food over my head. Near the end of the meal, they took my plate without asking & they constantly tried to kick us out by trying to collect our food without asking whether we were finished.
For the price point, you're better off trying something else.View more

Honnêtement ça faisait longtemps je n'avais pas eu un aussi bon service avec nourriture impeccable. Adam, notre serveur, était à l'écoute, drôle & attentionné. La nourriture & l'ambiance 10/10. L'hôtesse nous a accommodées un samedi soir, sans réservation, nous nous sommes senties privilègiées. Merci pour cette belle experience!View more

Dined here with a colleague while in town for business. The food was amazing! I had some of the best buratta I've ever had in my life followed by delicious halibut! My co-worker had calamari & tartare which he enjoyed immensely. Great atmosphere as well, it was packed on a Wednesday night!View more

Update:
The owner was sad to hear about our experience & wanted us to leave with a better impression. He suggested we come a second time, on the house. Our second visit was very enjoyable, we opted for smaller appies & main meals instead of the larger sharing plate. Tuna tartare, fried calamary, NY steak & short ribs were all 10/10. To finish the night, the manager offered us dessert. We appreciate the time & effort the staff took to turn the situation around. I will be coming back. Thank you

Came for a steak, stayed for the suspense. After a 90-minute wait, my food arrived cold, impressive, really. The steak was so rare I almost named it & let it go. Sent it back, but it returned just as raw, only angrier.
Great place if you enjoy long waits & plot twists.
Music was goodView more
