    Karen was an excellent server who gave us time to enjoy our wine before the main course. This was our second visit and the food was excellent all around.

    The hamburger and fries were excellent. The patty was 8oz of high quality meat - with a lovely flame cooked flavour. The toppings were fresh and flavourful and the bun was soft but not soggy or tearing apart. And it was nice to have a high end burger that didn't fall apart when trying to take a bite. Definitely in the running for the best burger in the region. The restaurant space is not large but it is expanded by its deck outside overlooking the Welland Canal.

    My partner and I booked Taris tonight for an intimate dinner with friends visiting from Japan. It was the exact experience we had been hoping for; delicious cuisine, top-notch service, and a lovely atmosphere for great conversation and laughs. 10/10, as always! Taris never disappoints. Their ever-changing menu is always full of tempting options; my only complaint is that there are too many wonderful choices and always have food envy when I see the plates around me! LOL Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Adorable little venue! Never been before. Didn’t realize kitchen closed at 9pm and we were running late for an 8:30pm reservation. I called to let them know and they said they would stay open for us. I hadn’t seen my co-worker since her maternity leave and we had to make it a later dinner for childcare/baby reasons- so I felt awful trying to appease my friends needs AND take her somewhere nice. Being that it was so late, I was worried, but they were very accommodating. We ordered right away and we also tried to be courteous of not annoying the staff! LoL It was a quick dinner. Abs we stayed until closing. (Kitchen closed at 9, restaurant at 10). We got the Korean BBQ rice dish (forget the name). Delish!

    My husband and I went out for a quiet dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Taris. Our server, Karen, was outstanding - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful without being intrusive. The meals were outstanding! Taris is one of our favourite restaurants and last night's visit only confirmed that. We will be back soon!!

    Our waitress was very attentive as we were dining in an igloo. All of the food was very savoury. I'd like to see more white wine choices, especially for an off-dry Reisling. My goat cheese salad was so delicious except that there was too much vinaigrette and not enough honey came through in it. To me, the 13 Kings Reisling had a salty aftertaste for my palette. My husband loved the red pepper tomato soup, cheeseburger and frites! I loved my Chicken Supreme and the croquettes were a delightful surprise. I would have liked to have the carrot cooked a bit more. The green beans were great. I will definitely recommend your restaurant to all of my friends and family.

    Taris had a great fried chicken dinner on the menu. They have changed it to a Korean BBQ chicken with rice. They took a great meal and made it even better! Fabulous.

    Our department chose Taris for our Holiday lunch. The service was prompt and friendly, the food arrived in a timely fashion, individual bills were prepared without complaint and paying was efficient. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Some of the portions were large and people got to take some home. Excellent experience.

    Meh. Service was slow and pasta was undercooked (extreme al Dente) as well the mashed potatoes on my husbands plate tasted like instant. This is my opinion as the waitress didn't come around to ask if we liked it. No offer for another beverage and my husband had to wave her down to get another drink. My martini came in a rock glass not martini glass with way too much salt on the rim. (pic attached) When she took my food to put in a takeaway she left it on a server cart near kitchen then walked away to bring food to another table. They took our coat to hang up for us when we got there (didn't really see where she went with them) so when we left we had to look around and then found them at the front door, we had to unbury our coat from 10 other ones. (weird)

    This was out third time here. For some reason, the salmon we ordered (2) of us in a group of 4 had was quite bland. Had no flavour whatsoever ever. Almost as if it was cooked and served with nothing on it. We didn’t say anything to the server because he was absolutely outstanding! I had the salmon here before and it was quite nice, really not sure that happened this time.

    Taris was the perfect spot for a meeting with a client who also happens to be a good friend.....the dining room is set up so that you enjoy the comfort of a warm inviting dining experience while still able to discuss private business matters. The food & service were excellent. I would not hesitate to return.
