I had an amazing experience at Terrasse William Gray. The service was outstanding, and Vincent truly made the evening special for us. He was friendly, and attentive. The food was delicious, well-presented, and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place and be sure to ask for Vincent – he’s fantastic!

This is one of the greatest Italian restaurants. The food is fantastic. Most of the servers have worked there for a long time and that tells you everything you need to know. I Iive in Toronto and every time I’m in Montreal I make sure I go to Corneli’s.

Great food and relaxed environment. Appetizers were solid. Waiters gave us plenty of time to enjoy and chat. My med-rare steak was perfect. Excellent mid week locale for a family or business meal. Fantastic views of Montreal.

About the restaurant

The wine has a unique and mystical quality: unlike most other drinks, it gets better as it gets older. No one can elaborate exactly what the end results will be – the wine is constantly evolving. So there is a bottled surprise to discover. Monza has been a household name for over 10 years with its wine bar. The wines on sale are from all over the world. Whether it’s a bottle of wine or champagne, local or international labels, quality and affordability are always on the menu.

The service was amazing; however, I did not like the fact that they rushed us because they overbooked. Hence, only allowing us 2h for a birthday celebration.
