We had a great lunch at Williams yesterday celebrating my Daughter's surprise engagement that took place down the road at Drysdale Tree Farm. Grace took good care of our party and food was awesome, everyone was happy! Sandra has created a warm and welcoming environment there and the history she has incorporated into the decor made it an extra special place for us to celebrate. This is a real gem in the town. Thankyou again! from all the Banting family! Cheers, Sue

Great spot. Excellent food - shrimp pasta to die for. We had an error on our bill that we did not notice until we drove home - the manager refunded it right away when I called. Top notch classy customer service.

My wife and I recently went to dine at Williams on a Sunday evening. We were extremely disappointed with the lack of menu items available (as they ran out of two of the items we had ordered) then when we received our entrees, we were dissatisfied with the portion size, considering the price we paid, and we left still feeling hungry. (My wife does not usually leave a restaurant still feeling hungry.) she is usually full on half a sandwich. However I have to compliment our server. (Grace) She was extremely polite and pleasant under the circumstances, we were impressed with her willingness to help us choose an alternate menu item. Grace was the bright spot of our experience. However we will not be making Williams our restaurant of choice any time in the near future..

When eating here with my mom, she found a long hair in her salad immediately. We notified our server who replaced the salad but there was no apology or attempt to make it right (they could have given a percentage off for the inconvenience or comped her glass of wine, offered a dessert or something). Otherwise the food is good and the ambiance is very nice

First time here for dinner. Had the brunch a long time ago whne they first opened and it was fantastic so I thought I would finally enjoy the full dinner experience. It was nothing less then spectacular. I had the rib eye special with Roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables. The sauce in the rub eye was a great flavour to compliment but not over power the steak. It was cooked to perfection. My wife had the lemon shrimp fettuchini. Again, the sauce was creamy, buttery and flavourful. Pasta was cooked proper. And the portions of shrimp were very generous. We also had the bruschetta to start. And a few cocktails. All Blended well together. Beautiful little front patio dining area. Overall a great experience and great food.

My drink was made perfectly. Spicy shrimp app was superb! Service was wonderful. Portion sizes were good and tasty. We lucked out on the heated patio when the snow was falling. The atmosphere was great and so cozy.

Gorgeous atmosphere, inside and patio. Good wine prices. Lunch menu for food was not good. Prices are like Toronto prices. Montreal smoked sandwich was made very well but meat had no flavour. Chicken on salad has no taste, seems to be from premade bag? Would reccomend to not have the chicken. Overall good for drinks, pass on food. Service was not the best. They will ignore your glass has no water and also make you pour your own wine. We were also told we needed to leave because we stayed for a couple of hours and table was booked.

A game of a spot in Alliston.

August 21, 2024

We reached there at 6:30pm and the restaurant said open till 8. One of the servers asked for table for how many and the other one came and said they cannot take us in. That behaviour definitely felt personal and racist by the second lady. Why would you even ask table for how many if you cannot accept? Thoughts?

Imagine being asked to leave after spending well over $150 on dinner because it was 5min after 8? Im speechless.... the waitress was extremely rude too? For no reason. I didnt get it. My father owned a restaurant as did my grandfather (the Sword down town Toronto) No way would we EVER EVER toss people unless they were rowdy or staying over an hour after close and hardly even then and being rude to customers that were being nice just NO. What a shame. I prefer to support small businesses but I would never go back nor would I recommend anyone else to. Not welcoming and not worth it in my opinion. Sorry

The overall atmosphere was beautiful. I loved the closed in heated patio. The food was delicious, but the waitress, the night we went spilled multiple times, two drinks and olives after picking up the chcutrie board. I dont know if she was new Maybe nervous serving a large group but it took away the ability to fully enjoy the eveing i didnt want to be the one with a full beer down the back of my shirt or a beer all over my arm or smelling like olives Personally I would never go again being my first experience at this restaurant but Im sure if you got the right waitress or waiter you would have a beautiful experience.

My wife , son and I popped in for a bite. We are in town for a hockey tournament and wanted something homemade , comfort food. We were not disappointed! Fantastic food , fantastic atmosphere and fantastic service and staff. We were speaking with, I m assuming the owner , and what a wonderful charismatic lady. We had a lovely chat about our mutual love of Bruce Springsteen and she made us very envious of her stories and pictures. I would drive out of my way to stop in and eat here again! 6 out of 5 star restaurant ! Thanks Williams !

Ive been to this restaurant in the past and it was very good, had many menu optiins, the smoked wings were amazing. Basically the reason we chose to return and bring family that were visiting. The menu was very limited for dinner, and disappointing on choices. We had a reservation and were seated at a great table at the window. . We were there maybe 5 minutes and the server came to our table saying ladies I know these are really comfy chairs but do you mind MOVING to a back table behind a large party!! Where it was against the wall on a bench seat, where one person would be staring at a wall!!! We said yes we do mind!!! It was a table for 4 and apparently there were 4 people waiting to be seated. Why ask us to move as we were 3 people to accomodate these V.I.P.S apparently that were more of a priority then us. This made us not feel welcome or treated respectfully. Our money is just as good!!! Wont be back. Ive worked in the restaurant industry as G.M, server, bartender and would never treat ANY CLIENT in that capacity...

Moved to the area about 9 months ago and Williams in Alliston has become a regular spot for us. This was our third visit, and the experience keeps getting better. Quaint and charming atmosphere with a clearly devoted local following. Service was exceptional. We opted for the prime rib special a classic that delivered. Served rare, just as we requested, with the chef even checking in to ensure it was up to our standards. If youre in the area, this place is a must-try. Looking forward to our next visit. Five stars, no question.

I would give this a -10 stars if I could. Service was not good and the food was horrible. $38 for steak and fries. Steak was like a Walmart $4 steak and they put about half a box of salt on it. We sat at the bar and both waitress didn t fill my water or ask if we wanted another drink. We had to ask. My hubby is a big tipper and said DO NOT TIP....I have never heard that come out of his mouth within our 10 years together. This is not fine dining but bar food instead. Everyone that put a review on here it must be for different chef or something. Seriously steak and eggs at a breakfast place is better. Do yourself a flavour and go to the Keg instead. The food pictures on here is like from a different place! 2hours after eating here I felt sick and puked everything out!

She is warm, welcoming and very flexible . What a great place to be at with family and friends where everyone feels welcomed. Now when it comes to the food I wouldve given a 10 Star but I am limited to only 5. There are several mouthwatering dishes including great desserts. Great ambiance ! Great People! Delicious food!

Service was friendly and quick. Ambience was decent. Menu was sparse and uninspiring. The prime rib special (found online) wasn t available which was why we went. Ended up with the fish and chips, both over cooked, and rib eye steak which was okay. Dessert was a slice of Costco chocolate cheese cake. Meal was ~$115 two drinks, two mains, one slice of cheese cake.

We d never been to Alliston and were looking for someplace to have lunch. Williams looked good and had some good reviews, turns out the reviews were dead on! We sat back in the enclosed patio which was a nice spot on a cool day. The features were French onion soup and smoked chicken wings, we had both and they were exceptional. Our server told us he created the wing rub, and it was really good. If we are ever back in that neck of the woods, we d definitely eat there again!

Live in Town but had not experienced this gem. We had to sit in the rear patio to get a table, and there was live music there. We were hesitant but pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed the music while we sat and ate, and ended up staying for 2.5 hours because OF the music (Dane Marshall). The food quality was excellent (Mussels was a special and the sauce was very well done) and the price point was quite reasonable considering quantity and quality. Service was friendly and prompt too, more professional staff than you would get at the roadhouse chains. Well be back!

Apparently they have a large patio, but with three empty tables they couldnt sit one table of four. Waitress told me something along the lines of the kitchen didnt have enough food, and another waitress said they have reservations for those tables...so which is it? Not enough food to feed your clientele or ghost reservations? Either way terrible customer service.

Purely a service review since we never had food. Sat down at 655pm and heard the couple next to us looking for the waitress and when she came to them they said We thought you abandoned us . She came to us after and we joked about not abandoning us haha. Also jokes about how far away we were as we were seated at the back of the back patio. She took our drink order and in a reasonable amount of time brought us a bottle of wine and water, approx 705pm. More jokes about not being abandoned. By 745 we were finishing our bottle of wine (yes we like our wine) and said waitress had been in and out approx ten times to back patio without ever checking in again for our food order. We ordered wings at another restaurant on the phone when another waitress came and asked if we were ready to order. We paid for our wine and left. Apologies from the new waitress and we we re out. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Waitress just collecting a paycheck should be fired. No sorries. Won t be back.

We had a lunch meeting on the back patio last week, in the shed right at the back. The food was fantastic (appetizers, huge Swiss burgers, California wraps, & salads), and our water bottles were refilled frequently (it was SUPER hot out). The service was attentive and it made our meeting so much smoother. Thanks for a great meal and a safe outdoor dining experience!

This restaurant has unbelievably delicious food, such a warm and authentic atmosphere, the most hospitable staff, and a great drinks selection. We love supporting amazing local spots and this restaurant is the perfect example why. You don t have to go into the City to get a great dining experience - Williams is a gem of a restaurant and we are lucky to have them in Town. Wishing Williams continued success

I drove up from Toronto today to have lunch with an old friend who suggested Williams. I loved the decor as soon as we entered - eclectic, funky and fun. The service was lovely and the food was excellent. I ordered the charcuterie board and it was definitely the most artfully arranged board I have ever seen, and everything was delicious. My friend and I spent almost two and a half hours catching up as we ate and then lingered over tea, and never once did we feel rushed so that the restaurant could turn over the table, despite the fact they had a pretty busy lunch service. I will be back!

My husband took me to Williams restaurant on 89 for my birthday yesterday Feb 03 2020. I have to say the food was out of this world, my steak was so tender I could cut it with my fork and the taste was amazing, my husband had the salmon he said it was absolutely delicious. We had cheese cake for dessert it was was so tasty. We loved everything. The waitress was super attentive. Will definitely return.

I had taken some neighbours, to Williams, in Alliston, On February 14, our reservation, was for 5 pm, which was difficult, to book, one week before, the person taking the reservation, took 20 min. to get it, after bouncing back and forth, trying to decide, if they had room! Upon arriving, I gave the name the reservation, was under, it took the person, almost 2 minutes, to find it. Upon, being seated, we were put at the back beside, the kitchen!! The gentleman, and his wife, were not happy, the gentleman, stood up, and waited for a server, and asked if we could please be moved. The staff, were not very happy. We ordered, cocktails, I asked for a Martini, with extra olives, I never got them, we ordered appetizers, I had asked for the raw oysters, they were brought o the table with 2 quarters of lime, I had to ask for the 2 vinegrettes, that are to be served with them. Asking for bread, was another story! We ordered main courses, the Ribeye steaks, are pathetic! The trout was served with no lemon, you have to ask, for everything you require. It was Valentines Day!!! We ordered the Amaretto cheesecake, for desert, all it was , a piece of plain cheese cake, no raspberry purée, nothing!!! No flavour, I mentioned it to the server, her response was, Oh, the Amaretto, was baked in it !! I and my guests, were Very Disappointed With The Restaurant!!!

My girls took me in on Sunday for my birthday lunch; indeed the atmosphere is cozy and the young woman who served us was very pleasant. Overall the food was quite good, yes, maybe a bit pricey but overall good. The burger, fish and bangers were enjoyed! My only critique would be that the mac and cheese did not taste like it had cheese in it, more like a white sauce, I would not recommend it. I also felt the Caesar dressing on the salad could be more flavourful, could not taste it over the romaine. Pepper mills would also be a nice touch along with grated cheese for these items.

Amazing place. Staff are extremely friendly and there service is outstanding. They are currently running a limited menu due to covid-19. But even with this limited menu there is a impressive selection of food. I personally have had the Philly cheese wrap and fries, Ruben sandwich with fries. Both where fantastic and portion sizing is well worth the pricing. I have added some photos of there Ruben with there strawberry Moscow mule.

Wanted to like this place, but the food ruined it. To sum it up, it s overpriced for what you get, and the food isn t even good or cooked properly. Went for a nice dinner on their new patio set up. Patio was nice, and I d give the service a 5/5, they were great, attentive and on point (server was Emily). I d give the drinks+apps 4/5, average price, decent apps. The big issue is the main course/entree food. Overpriced, and not good at all. I got the 8oz Striploin, which is $26 so at that price you except better than average cut of beef (a $10 steak from zehrs is better than this, seriously). It was a low quality piece of steak, smothered in gravy. Who takes a $26 steak, covers it in gravy, and serves it with fries? That s something I d expect in the $12-15 price range. I asked for medium rare, it was served purple rare and still cold in the middle. Didn t sent it back to be cooked more cause it was covered in gravy and I d have to wait 10+ minutes for another. My fiancée got the linguine with shrimp. It lacked any real flavour, and the pasta was way underdone. Still uncooked and hard on the inside. Can t even get pasta right, and charges $24 for that plate. Prices in the 20-30 range demand a higher standard of quality then they commit to. I would not recommend this place until they wake up and fix their food. It s way overpriced for what they re serving, and they can t even cook what they re serving properly. Seems like they want to be a high end restaurant with those prices, but don t want to be a high end restaurant with their quality. Not sure if it was an off day for them, but I ll never know because I won t be going back. The service saved Williams from only getting 1 star.
