    Lovely late spring dinner at Terrasse Nelligan. I sat at the bar - cocktails were excellent, the Salade Nicoise (with seared tuna!) was delicious, and the truffle and Parmesan fries were the perfect accompaniment. The atmosphere was lively, but not too loud and not too rushed. I will be back!

    The food, wine and service were excellent. The waiter was extremely attentive and the portions were generous. Limited choices of wines by the glass, but more than adequate. Lots of younger professionals. Tremendous variety of cocktails. We will definitely go again when we are in Montreal.

    Terrasse William Gray is an outdoor rooftop bar/restaurant with a fabulous view looking towards the St. Lawrence in Old Montreal. It is fairly small with no apparent indoor seating, so all patrons are there for the view and rooftop charm. We were surprised how many were there solely for drinks, the first question we were asked upon being seated: Drinks tonight or will you be dining with us. We like doing both - start with a drink (or two) and then enjoy the scenery and continue with a lovely dinner. A nice bottle wine of wine always suggested with dinner :-) Our server for the evening was David K and he was a wonderful host. He was upbeat, the perfect level of attentiveness and helped with food selections for us both. Many thanks David - we really enjoyed meeting you. Vicki had the fabulous branzino and I had two apps, scallops and hamachi ceviche. All three presentations were wonderful, making for many shared bites across the table. Wish I had enough room to also try the burrata app, as that too looked amazing. Next time. Many thanks to David, the bartenders and the kitchen staff/chefs for making such a memorable evening for us. And seats right on the glass made it extra special! David & Vicki Monday, 25 May, 6 pm
