A truly outstanding experience. From the delicious tomahawk to the tuna ricecakes, mediterrean salad & lobster tails -- cooked to perfection. Amazing music & vibe made it super fun. Special thanks to our wonderful server, Sadya, who made this a very special night for our son at McGill.

The tomahawk steak iwas okay but when it comes to the seafood, the really lacked flavors. We took the surf & turf for 3 people & the seafood was... meh.. Good vibes & service was good overall, but i was disappointed with the quality & taste of the seafood, even the butter sauce had no taste..

Had the pleasure of checking out Grinder for a work dinner & overall had a really enjoyable evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful - stylish interior, very clean, & thoughtfully designed. They also offer coat check & valet, which is a nice touch. One thing that stood out is that the restaurant has a butcher shop connected to it, which adds to the overall concept & quality feel of the place.

I started at the bar while waiting for my boss, & the service throughout the night was excellent. Attentive, quick, & professional without feeling overly formal or pretentious, which I appreciated. The wine list is also extensive.

To start, I ordered the calamari, which was fantastic. The batter was crisp & light, & it came with a creamy jalapeno sauce that had a nice balance of tang & spice. Easily one of the better appetizers of the night.

For my main, I had the filet mignon with mushroom sauce & a baked potato. The steak itself was decent, though slightly chewier than I would normally expect from a filet. The baked potato, however, was the standout - loaded with a thick layer of cheese, sauce, & bacon. Very indulgent & delicious. The steak & baked potato came out on the cooler side but the loaded cheese made up for it.

For dessert I ordered pudding chômeur with soft serve vanilla ice cream. It was warm, moist, & comforting with a rich brown sugar base. The portion was perfect, though it did get a little sweet toward the end.

Overall, the vibe of the restaurant was great - lively but not stuffy. Service was excellent & the experience was really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back, & next time I might try the burger because it looked incredible on other tables.

We ordered the surf & turf for two & chose the ribeye, which was excellent! The sides were very good as well, & while everything else was solid, nothing particularly stood out. It's nice to have a variety of options, but overall it didn't quite feel worth the price.
The staff were amazing & great vibe!

Came for the meat. Stayed for the experience. Left emotionally attached.

Restaurant Grinder absolutely delivers: top-tier cuts, perfectly cooked, generous portions, & an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a stylish carnivore sanctuary. Every bite was a reminder that cows did not sacrifice themselves in vain.

Now let's talk about Alejandro. Not a manager - THE manager. This man runs the place like a Michelin-starred spaceship. Friendly, sharp, genuinely cares, & somehow everywhere at once. If customer service had a Hall of Fame (or a universe), Alejandro would be the first inductee, president, & honorary supreme leader. Top-notch manager. Top-notch human. Possibly not even human. Legend status.

If you like great food, good vibes, & being treated like royalty without wearing a crown, this is the place. Highly recommend. Will be back. Probably too often.

Good, food, service, vibe. We were sitting outside & very disappointed with abnormal amount of flies surrounding every table. Restaurant with such a caliber & reputation needs to fix issues like that. There are ways to eliminate that.
