Came here for a Christmas party & there was a set menu that was $55 with a dessert & no drinks included. The options were super basic & tasted super bland. I can't believe I paid that much for a menu of that caliber. The cake was still frozen, tasted like grocery store quality & the service was ok at best. I know I'm not getting the full experience, but I can't help but feel a little cheated.
We had our company Christmas party here . It was an amazing experience, the atmosphere was wonderfully the staff was absolutely 💯 on point . Warm welcoming & fun funny interactive. The bar tender went above & beyond to make our cocktails even if they didn't typically make the requested mixes . The food was delicious & made perfectly . I would go back anytime . The atmosphere was fun & we all had a great time .
I've been to this place many times & I've had amazing meals. Elena is the best. She knows how to take care of you & makes you feel welcomed. The staff is very attentive & affable. I've been around many restaurants in Montreal & this one stands out & is my go to Italian spot. Going there tonight for a belated birthday celebration.
We had an incredible experience holding our wedding ceremony & reception at Taormina. The upstairs lounge perfectly accommodated 50 guests. The meal service was impeccable in terms of timing, & the food was great. The staff followed the exact itinerary we wanted for the evening & tended to our needs. The bar/dance area was absolutely perfect & the photobooth/DJ option was a nice touch. Overall, everything went smoothly & I would definitely hold an event there in the future. The price point for the entire event was also excellent.
Ce soir là, il n'y avait pratiquement personne ( ce qui était plutôt rare), donc on a pu profiter d'une ambiance calme, cozy & le service, juste parfait. J'ai adoré & je recommande
Petite soirée spectacle à Lachine & nous avions décidé d'opter pour ce restaurant.
Déjà au téléphone au moment de la réservation c'était convivial & chaleureux.
Le repas ainsi que le service ont été tout simplement super.
Nous avons débuté avec les huîtres qui était charnues & goûteuse à souhait, salade de la table d'hôte avec pâtes aux crevettes géantes pas gênantes. 😏
J'ai demandé à notre serveuse si je pouvait remplacer la sauce romanoff par une autre & elle m'a demandé avec un magnifique sourire qu'est-ce qui m'aurait fait plaisir en me spécifiant que puisque c'était des chefs spécialisés & que rien n'était préparé à l'avance on pourrait facilement m'accomoder.
J'ai demander une sauce crème & le tout s'est avéré au-delà de mes attentes.
Nourriture & service de qualité exceptionnelle & je peux vous jurer que je ne suis pas payé pour vous dire ça. hehe
Ah oui & avant que j'oublie, les petits pains chauds sont effectivement partis comme de petits pains chaud. 🔥
Tout le repas, l'ambiance entre Amis(es) étaient très bon. Au Mariage de nos très chers Amis
À notre cher couple la Mariée était d'une beauté & ne pas oublier le marié qui respirait le Bonheur d'avoir trouvé sa Perle rare.
Un Service impeccable, le poulet sauce au poivrons Wow, & les autres plats débordaient de saveurs d'après l'expérience des autres convives.
Went today for a late dinner for our friends Stephen & Haruna’s wedding! The restaurant has a beautiful view of the water. The staff was caring in every details, & an amazing service! The food was delicious & extremely tasty! I had portobello mushroom stuffed with risotto & spinach with more mushroom in it🤤. My parents had the chicken in a creamy red bell pepper sauce. They clearly do their little bread (could have eat the whole bowl😉🤭) The amaretto sour, well that was a very good amaretto sour🥃!
Very beautiful restaurant, will have to go another time to try the menu!!
I had my wedding reception at Taormina Lounge & could not have been more pleased. The staff especially Elena were amazing! We were affraid that it would be a little small as we were 68 people (including kids). However, tables were moved around as soon as the dinner was over to get the guests on the dance floor. The four course meal was exceptional. The Osso Bucco was definitely a croud pleaser. Elena really made the organizational process flawless & she was extremely accomodating. When she says do not worry, trust her because she has lots of experience & she has truely has everything under control. She had enough staff from servers to bartenders. I created a list of cocktails that I wanted to serve & Elena sent it right away to Alexandra (bartender) the day before. Alexandra was by the way was on fire the whole night!!!! This is just one example amongst many others of how accomodating Elena was. At the end of the night her whole staff packaged all of the accessories/decorations & allowed us to come later the next day to pick them up. Another detail we did not have to worry about. Lets not forget the fact that the restaurant is located right accross from the water with a beautiful view & there is a good amount of parking. I would definitely recommend Taormina Lounge for anyone looking for an intimate & stress free wedding. Thank you Elena & the whole staff for making this day memorable.

Great place. Was there first time for my friends wedding.
Everything was absolutely perfect. Very polite & attentive personnel. Delicious food. Elegant set up.
Enjoyed it very much.
My husband & I dine at Taormina fairly regularly & always enjoy our experience there. The staff is efficient & friendly, the owner is helpful & kind, & the food is great. We also recently attended a private event in their upstairs lounge & we were impressed! The service was top-notch all around & the space is great for a private event (be sure to ask about hiring their DJ!). Special shout out to Pedro & Noe who always go out of their way to make us feel welcome.
