Reviews / Ratings for Taormina lounge
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).
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've been to Taormina multiple times for dinner and they even hosted my engagement party here, and it never disappoints! The hospitality is unmatched, the food tastes incredible, and is always consistent! Great portions, great service , and fantastic overall experience. Can't wait to come back!
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.
Amazing food and wonderful customer service
Best food . And mostly the best customer service
Had an amazing wedding reception party at Taormina lounge, team offered exceptional service, food was amazingly fresh and tasty! All guests were happy and full. Thanks also to DJ Stephane for making everyone dance and helping the guests with the cute photobooth. Will be returning for the best food in town!!
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!
