My girlfriend and I attend a soft opening dinner. The vibe is very man cave, which was cool with me. This is a great place to grab a burger and drink on a Saturday afternoon and watch the game or take a date on a week night. The Grind is a welcomed dining option for the Arcadia neighborhood!
The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Propers to them for having their act together for the opening.
My girlfriend and I shared the melted rosemary brie with strawberry relish. The brie was cheesy goodness and did take on some of the rosemary flavor. The strawberry relish was flavorful. A balsamic reductions would make this dish.
We moved onto the BLT burger and the Sweet and Spicy Burger. The 1000 degree coal fire oven does seal in the juices and creates an nice crispy exterior on the patty. All the other ingredients were fresh and tasty. The bun was toasted, yet fresh and spongy on the interior.
Fries need some improvement, but again this was a soft opening.
Drink list is inventive and educational.
Looking forward to coming back.
