While staying at the William Gray over the weekend we were able to enjoy an appetizer & some drinks at the bar. Food was great & the service provided by Jamie was top notch! Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere but when arrived to attending my 55th birthday dinner with family last Dec 28th & checked in with host, my sister had clearly indicated to host that she solely made 1 reservation not 2 but male host continued to make strong argument with unprofessional tone. Secondly, when our main course arrived to our table 20mins later; to discover that my sautéed mushrooms, French onion soupe (bland & unwanted onion skins) & porterhouse steak every dish were overly salted (including fries) & due to personal health conditions, we could barely touch it & the red wine was like jelly texture when arrived to our table. Thirdly, when advise to waitress that we rarely drink wine & asked waitress what is your least dry wine, she had spoken to us in unprofessional tone that we should of known that you describe your wines as full body & some other terms which I don't quite recall. Otherwise, your crispy shrimp & grilled salmon & lentil begula salad was & why, weren't we informed that $3 would apply to my mother's of hot water? Thank you for taking our review seriously & hope to hear from you soon!
As a frequent visitor, I've always appreciated the amazing food & the inviting atmosphere. The dishes are consistently delicious, & the ambiance makes it a favorite spot for me. However, one issue that stands out is the speed of service. Lately, it has been taking 30-40 minutes just to place an order for appetizers, which can be frustrating. It seems like the restaurant might be understaffed, as the waitstaff are doing their best but are clearly stretched thin during busy times.
