    We were a group of 7 mostly family. All adults. We had an amazing food and wine experience. The beef Wellington and lobster risotto were delicious. Our server was so knowledgeable about the food and wine - and incredibly helpful. Our only disappointment was that we had arrived hoping to share the t bone steak and fish but the steak was not available - the recommendation from our server for the beef Wellington and risotto definitely exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend!

    Everything we ordered was exquisite. Packed with flavour but also well balanced. I’m familiar with Middle Eastern food and this exceeded my expectations by far. High quality ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and attentive service. The food is not expensive for what you are getting. The place is also gorgeous!

    Absolutely loved our experience at Terrasse William Gray! The food, wine, and service was phenomenal, and the experience of eating in our private dome was so unique and romantic. This is definitely a must do for anyone in Montreal, especially in the winter time.
