text: I love burgers and really wanted to love The Grind but it was not meant to be Unfortunately I had problems with the temperatures both the restaurant and the foodnnI was here with my girlfriend on a Tuesday night The restaurant itself is nicely appointed with a sleek modern look and feel It was pretty close to full but staff were still friendly and efficient nnThe glass wine special they were running was very nice I has the peppercorn burger with sweet potato fritters The fritters were very nice crunch without being greasy and not overly sweet The burger was nicely composed with great toppings and flavors the watercress in particular stood out Unfortunately the burger was also well well done and I had ordered medium I should have sent it back but was hungry and did not want to wait For a burger joint missing a temperature on a burger is pretty disappointing and it killed a lot of the goodwill the rest of the ingredients had built up nnThe bread pudding for desert was not the best I have ever had but was nice and the bourbon sauce it came with was a nice touch nnThe other issue I had with The Grind is the temp inside the restaurant I will grant that these are the dog days of summer right now and I am sure it is hard to keep the place cool with the half open kitchen but was pretty warm in therennWith the wine special it was ok value for the money I guess But on a normal night with glass for wine and for a burger with another for fries it is too pricey for my tastes especially if they are not hitting proper temps on the burgers every time
