On a eu une service impeccable, déjà grâce a notre serveur ( avec petit moustache qui pense être mécano avec) he was very sweet. la nourriture est très bonne, vraiment on reviendrai à 100% je recommande sans hésiter..
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.

This is our second time & Grinder in Montreal absolutely exceeded expectations. We started with the burrata paired with aubergine cream-perfectly balanced with apple vinegar & chili flakes-& a bluefin tuna tartare that was incredibly fresh with a standout marinanation & sauce.
For mains, everything hit. The 9 oz bavette was cooked beautifully & full of flavor, the Grinder burger was tender & juicy, & the octopus with crispy potatoes was honestly out of this world. Even the sides were memorable-the baby sprouts were insanely good, & the creamy bacon potatoes were just as impressive.
For dessert, I tried pudding chômeur for the first time, & it was unforgettable. The rich buttery texture, combined with the sweet syrup & vanilla ice cream, made it one of the best desserts I've ever had.
The atmosphere really ties it all together: friendly & attentive service, great music, & one of the best IPA beers I've had in Montreal.
At around $80 CAD per person, it's absolutely worth it. I'll be coming back every time I'm in Montreal.
La nourriture & l'ambiance incroyable
Par contre service; ca été assez lent & immédiatement lorsqu'on a terminé notre assiette , bouteille vin pas terminée ils ns ont mis dehors pcq le 2hrs allouées étaient terminées !!! Au prix on paye c'est insultant!!
& personne a notre arrivée nous a souligné que notre reservation était de 2hrs.
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..
We had a reservation at 10:00 AM. When we arrived, we were seated right away, but we had to wait quite a while for the waitress assigned to our table to bring us menus-which she never did. We ended up having to ask another server.
To be honest, my experience was horrible from start to finish. After some time, the waitress finally came to take our order. She brought out the onion soup appetizer, & my boyfriend decided to add another appetizer of six shrimp.
It was also very cold where we were seated. I asked the waitress if she could close the front door, & she said yes-but she never did. We then asked to change tables, which she agreed to, & we were moved.
After that, we waited about 45 minutes (or more) for the shrimp. During that time, our waitress never came back to check on us. We had to ask another server for help, who then called her over. She came briefly, when to the kitchen.. come back said nothing, & then went straight to the bar & didn't return.
About 15 minutes later, a server brought a plate to our old table, where new guests were now seated, & then left. We realized it was likely our order. We had to call another waitress again because ours never came back. Eventually, they took the plate back to the kitchen & returned a couple of minutes later with shrimp they claimed were'new.' However, the shrimp were cold, dry, & clearly not fresh. When we pointed this out, the waitress got upset, walked away, & said we wouldn't be charged.
We then waited another 20 minutes for our main dishes. When the food finally arrived, it was disappointing-everything was dry & not fresh.
The service was extremely poor, & even when we expressed our concerns, no one seemed to care. The waitress later brought the bill with an attitude, which was surprising considering she was mostly absent & spent most of her time at the bar.
Overall, this was a very frustrating experience. Poor service, long wait times, lack of attention, & low-quality food. Definitely not worth it.
