Restaurant Grinder

Amazing ambiance! We ordered fried calamari for starter, New York Strip and Short Ribs steak for main course. Fried calamari was delicious, and I loved the mouthwatering beef short ribs. New York strip was juicy and tasty but I found Short Ribs more tender and the seasoning was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was very friendly and nice. I liked the music too (although it was a bit loud) Highly recommend this place!

This is a must visit for anyone traveling to Montreal looking for a nice cocktail, excellent service, a perfect steak and a wonderful time. Our service was spectacular, the 3 person option for the steak was delicious and perfect for our party. A perfectly cooked 40oz Tomahawk steak, 3 half lobster tails, 3 shrimp, 3 scallops, 3 sides and a beautiful dessert. I feel like I could've got a lot more sides. Everyone was here for a great experience and we got that. The kitchen was busy. Espresso martini was astounding. The sauces that came with the meat: bbq, chimmichurri, red wine, and hot pepper sauce. The tomahawk came with the bone and of course we all took a nice bite of the meat left on the bone. Only way to do it if you're going to come to a place like this and enjoy yourself. 10/10 will come again.

I went to Grinder during Valentine's Day weekend and was quite pleased with my experience. The first thing to notice was the atmosphere that had an open bar in the center, booths to my right, and tables to my left, all under candlelight. Another thing was the music. It was quite loud for me, and I couldn't really hear my partner without having to lean in closer. I wonder if that was done on purpose. The service was amazing. Our server took care of us the entire night and even had the chefs apologize when our appetizer came late. I felt very taken care of, and I felt that they really cared about our experience. The food was phenomenal. We got so many things, including the french onion soup, the salmon tartare, the oysters, and the New York strip with the seasonal vegetables. Every dish was made with care and was absolutely delicious. The sauces that came with the steak brought so much more to the experience, I'm so thankful that they had that. Overall, I'd give it a 9/10, the only point off being how loud the music was. Otherwise, I'd love to go again sometime!

This place has an amazing vibe, friendly staff, and delicious food—I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. It's the perfect spot for a night out with friends, where you can dress up and enjoy the ambiance. They even offer a tasty vegan option, which was surprisingly delicious. And let's not forget about the drinks; they're fantastic too! The food portions are generous, and while the price range varies depending on your order, it typically falls between $25 to $100. Checking the menu online beforehand is a helpful tip. + nearby parking and valet service for added convenience

Great food and ambiance. The cream of tomatoe soup was good and tasted a bit like a rosé sauce. The focaccia that came with the burrata tasted like a good hot dog bread (a bit too thick), but the burrata had good flavours surrounding it. The vegetarian option was pretty good (mushroom meatballs). They tasted like a mushroom giant falafel, the pea purée and the apple salad and vinaigrette accompanied it well. Last of all, the dessert platter. Ice cream was regular but went well with the fudge brownie, which was decadent and the pudding chomeur (really good). The cheesecake was average. Overall, it is a good option for vegeterians but a bit pricey for the quality given.

Reservation is a must. We tried the surf and turf platter for 4 . It cost 89$ per person. Including half lobster , 1 shrimp, 1 escalope and big tomahawk for sharing , and side dishes. It was a perfect meal , friendly staff and nice memories for graduation party of my daughter Tia. 😘

Fantastic experience. A must in Montreal. Nit cheap but, worth it! It’s a mixture of Miami Beach high end with New York soho.. great wine selection and amazing food and service!

By far one of the best filet mignons I’ve ever had. The staff are all great and very friendly there. If you get there before 6-7 it’s more quiet but after 7 it does get quite busy and quite loud on the weekends. Honestly if you’re looking for a place that can cook up some solid steak this is your spot. I highly recommend the side creamy/cheesy mash potatoes. Wow!
