The food was great and the servers were also great, but I still feel I need to give this restaurant a 1 star because of how I was treated by the manager. I was there for a friend's birthday party (a reservation for 50+ people) and had asked the manager if there was another option for me meal-wise other than the $65 three course meal that everyone else was getting. I mentioned that the price was out of my budget but that I really wanted to be there for my friend. The manager asked me what my budget was. I explained that a $20 to $30 meal was more in my price range and I kid you not, she looked at me with pure judgement and rudely said that it was the $65 option or nothing. I have never felt so insulted in my life. It's not about being able to or not being able to make an exception necessarily. I at least derserved to be spoken to with kindness and professionalism.

I am tired of people like you allowed to write crap about businesses that are giving amazing services .Your organizer decided the price and options on food NOT US in a reception hall you cannot change your mind in the last minute Please blame them We treat our customers with extreme respect for the last 43 years You can go to MAC Donald and have a burger ,ff and MAC chicken by for 30 dollars your choice next time Every day i here something new and i don't care anymore because you can read all the GOOD AND HONEST REVIEWS OUR CLIENTS HAVE LEFT ENJOY

Dear Elena, Chef Paolo and the Team, We want to express our gratitude for helping us host a memorable 60th birthday celebration last weekend. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance of Taormina Lounge set the perfect tone for the evening and the staff’s warmth and professionalism made everything run smoothly. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure our event was a huge success. Chef Paolo’s exceptional Italian cuisine delighted all our guests, and the service throughout the evening was both attentive and friendly. It was obvious that everyone took pride in making the night special, and thanks to all of your efforts, we enjoyed an unforgettable experience with our guests. We are truly grateful for Elena’s patience and assistance throughout the planning process. We would highly recommend Taormina Lounge to our family and friends for any special occasion.

We had my moms 65th surprise party here last night and our experience as a collective was very impressed. The service was outstanding as they seamlessly accomodated 22 people effortlessly. Everyone I spoke with from the party agreed that the food was outstanding, the tortellini GIGI was exceptional. A special shoutout to one of the owners Elena who took such good care of us from the beginning of planning the occasion all the way to the very end of the night where she made me one of her espresso martinis (which was as delicious as everything else). Taromina is a finely tuned well oiled machine and we will definitely be back again!

Service was very problematic, but maybe they just had an off night. I really think a lot of their problems could be solved by hiring a dedicated bartender though. It took them an unfathomable amount of time to take our order because whenever someone would ask for a drink they would leave midway through to make it. Everyone is very nice and means well, but they all just looked totally overwhelmed. We were seated at 6:30 and didn’t even get bread until an hour and a half later. First apps came more than 2 hours after seating. The food was okay but also very expensive. The bread was really tasty though. Edit: Based on their reply, the owners are seemingly unwilling to accept any accountability for their mishaps. Bad nights happen, but it’s a terrible look to blame your customers for not “having some patients” (especially when we’re talking about waiting nearly 2 hours to even get bread).

Most of my staff is on Holiday due to Spring Break, and we were very busy last Saturday and Sunday. The staff did their best to serve everyone and they did a great job. You have to understand that and have a little patience sometimes. It's not always that everything is perfect.

I visited Taormina Lounge for the fifth time with friends in the last months, and needed to write a review. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is without exception delicious and beautifully presented. The menu is varied and interesting. I have had salads, fish, pizza and yesterday I had Eggplant Parmesan. It was not on the table d’hôte menu, but the waitress Helena asked and it was available. Yum! All meals were excellent. Service is friendly and professional but not rushed.The location is lakeside. In summer there is a small terrace for al fresco dining.

I hosted a surprise birthday party at this wonderful restaurant during the holidays in 2025 and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian dishes full of flavour, beautifully prepared with generous portions. What truly made the night unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. I want to give a special shout‑out to Elena and the owner, Paolo, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and make our evening extra special. Elena was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient, offering thoughtful recommendations from the table d’hôte menu. She even managed to secure a DJ for us during the busiest time of the year—the Christmas holidays—which made the celebration even more memorable. Elena is truly a superstar and Paolo was equally incredible. The staff’s warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made the evening feel effortless. Whether you're planning an event or simply looking for a great place to dine out, I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is outstanding, and the staff is incredible. A hidden gem in Montreal and an absolute must‑try, offering the perfect setting for any celebration or a night out.

I was very impressed with this pretty spot right across from the water. The service was excellent and the food felt very high end and authentic. Also appreciated was the ample and easily accesible parking lot behind the restaurant. Highlights included the cheese Arancini - with the accompanying sauce a delicious stand-out. For main course the Tortellini Gigi with meat sauce was fantastic. I have high standards when it comes to food having enjoyed many meals at the finest restaurants in North America and Europe. Great location for romantic dates. Highly recommend this spot for food view and service you will not be dissapointed. 5 stars!
