    Food was excellent. Service was good but not as attentive as it should be. We were left to ask for the bill after quite some time having finished our meal. It was very loud. It’s a good energy but u have to almost yell to hear each other.

    Stunning historical setting that is a must see for all looking for a fabulous dinner venue in Montreal. Servers lovely but service slow especially in bar waiting for drinks to be made, and in restaurant waiting on bill. Dinner with cocktails, bottle of wine, shared beet salad & halibut main courses each, with tip $375

    We arrived at Nora Gray and had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated, but they graciously offered us a complimentary glass of bubbly while we waited, which was a nice touch. Once seated, the service and food were absolutely excellent. The staff was attentive and the dishes were delicious. Despite the wait, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back.
