Reviews of Taris on the Water (Restaurant)

Carolyn Emma

Just had a celebration luncheon go out son (Sat June 24.) Food was not bad. The server excellent. Owners not particularly hospitable or friendly Did not come to us to enquire if every thing was ok or if enjoyed the meal.

Renée Grenier

Beautiful place for a romantic dinner

Jennifer Draper

Wow! This restaurant exceeds all of our expectations Everytime! We had the Chardonnay mussels & calamari to start. We savoured every single bite! Try the calamari with tzaziki! We also ordered some bread with the mussels and it was an incredible sesame seed sour dough WOW! The salmon was juicy & full of flavour! What’s more to say? The view is phenomenal! Beautiful patio for gorgeous views! 100% the best restaurant in a 20 mile radius! Deserves beyond 5 star *****

Tim Scheubel

Great atmosphere, super staff and fantastic food!

Sarah Wilson

Taris on the Water is a cozy, beautiful nook on the water. The staff are wonderful, friendly and accommodating to people with food sensitivity and allergies. The food looks, smells and tastes amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Abraham Campos

Dine in

Patrick

Awesome food in a beautiful building with a super cozy vibe. Would recommend to anyone looking for a date or celebration.

Mariela Nieves Quintana

Great location and nice decoration, the food was average, they charged a tip of 18% so no matter what do you think about the service.

Vincent Lau

Everything was fresh and delicately prepared. The food was great and the service good. The Welland bowl (with salmon) was excellent.

angie knuth

Made our reservation on Open Table for 7:15. We were seated on the patio with a spectacular view. Our server was so attentive to us. As soon as it started drizzling she got us seated under the tent at an open table and when the rain became worse she let us move yet again. I haven't seen this place since it was The Bridge years ago. It has had quite a beautiful face lift! Our food was amazing with a unique flair. Our Spanish Coffees at the end of the night by the light of the bridge and listening to the rain was a perfect end to our night! Thanks for everything. I will be back!

Christine Cooper

Appetizers were great, and beautiful view. Entrees left us feeling underwhelmed for the price. Would go back, but not for dinner.

Geoffrey Calvert

Friendly staff, very nice, upscale restaurant, overlooking the water. We've been a few times, and we'll be back again.

Kathy McKay

Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Very friendly.

Camilla Cariello França

Place is nice. Food is ok but not amazing. It could improve a bit. Their indoors is pretty but outdoors not so much.

cc Xo

What an incredible experience. Delicious food and wonderful service. Everything tasted fresh and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating our anniversary. Will definatly be returning!

Ramy Nassar

Pretty average food and a bit of a sketchy neighborhood (careful!)

Ronalyn Meier

The food was outstanding as was the local

Kimberlin DaSilva

Great food, great service! Not gonna lie I'm sooo pleasantly stuffed

Daniela Santia

Nice place for a lunch on the patio. The view and food were great. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Tim C

Good food (buffalo chicken), fairly priced, sweet patio by the canal, and best of all, friendly waitstaff who wear masks.

Peter Geertsen

Recommended by John at the Rose City Best Western. An awesome find. Excellent overall. The meal was flavourful and well presented. The Bruschetta and Calamari...so tasty. Highly recommend and will most certainly visit on my next visit to the area. Even offered a “blankie” as the temperature drop...passed and had a Monte Christo coffee. ????.

Randy Falcioni

Ate there for the first time tonight. In a word, outstanding! From the flatbread Buffalo chicken appetizer to the chicken supreme entree to the sticky toffee pudding. Excellent atmosphere. We're sure to go back!

Jennifer Haliburton

Delicious food! Very accommodating for our family. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Dad said it was the best steak he had in a long time!

marcela serna

The entre we started with (calamari) had a horrendous presentation with it looking like thrown up food ( frozen calamari), had a good taste but still the batter negated what taste it had. Moreover, the service that we experienced was poor. Although, the entrees we ate (Welland bowl, and toms burgers) had good taste and were overall good. The main star of this dining experience was the desert, apple tart, which had a a splendid taste and seemed fresh. In conclusion, the Taris dining experience was just decent at most with the evening begging with a poor starter and even poorer reception yet the entrees and desert shined.

Kyle Sheldrick

Always fantastic food Always see a familiar face.. usually a few. Underappreciated view of the canal and bridge.

Jennafer Hay

I feel like this is a hidden gem, my boyfriend and I went here for our last night of vacation and it was wonderful, very friendly staff, great food and a beautiful atmosphere, I am so sad it is so far away from where I live

Cherie C

Stunning views in the evening. Fantastic food and service.

Crystal Webster

Delicious food and excellent service.

Simon Jerome

Our favorite restaurant. Best food, service, atmosphere and service

Michael Rosario

Great location with a nice view and tranquil Vibe

Ross Thomson

Good food. Could use a little more polish, but overall a good experience. Friendly staff, nice view.

John Jennings

Beautiful views from the patio. Servers are friendly but the food selection is small.

Mark Lightfoot

Very nice location. Recommend dining on the balcony. Only tried two dishes and not that great. The fish tacos were too pretentious and tasted like they were concocted by a french chef. That said, I'll give the place another try when I'm back in Welland.

Mario Di Giovanni

Excellent service. I had the Welland Good Bowl for lunch. Awesome!

Claire Lam

Pretty place right on the canal for a lovely view. Food was above average with a nice flavourful menu. I had the burger and it was good but not the best ice ever had. I wasn't asked how I'd like it cooked and looked like a fresh beef patty. My girlfriend had the surf and turf (which was spicy sausage and grilled shrimp), the portions were modest but filled us enough. We went on a long holiday, was seated right away and had a very nice server. Overall, it was good, above priced but expected for where the restaurant is. Good place to try and enjoy the scenary.

Robert Steinbauer

Great atmosphere and very reasonably priced

StrictCopy3

Great service and food was amazing

Wayne&Jane Oosterhoff

Very nice atmosphere, not too loud. Not a huge menu, but it sure is nice. Food really well presented and very tasty. Wait staff is courteous and efficient. On a Saturday evening.

Karen Carrier

Fantastic!!! ????

David Schulz

The food was excellent, as was the service. Beautiful views of the old canal and bridge.

Jeremy Macarthur

Delicious food and great atmosphere. A real outlier in the area.

Connie Johnson CJ

Found this restaurant after driving by from the Welland Farmer’s Market! It is so hard to find a restaurant that doesn’t reheat a bag of food prepared somewhere else; so we were extremely happy to have found Taris on the Water. Everything is prepared fresh at this restaurant! My husband is celiac, they have several gluten free options. Our first visit is definitely a 5 star. We started off sharing the gluten free calamari appetizer which was perfection. Even if you don’t eat gluten free you would enjoy it. The calamari was meaty (good quality). The dip it comes with is delicious and the squeeze of fresh lime juice didn’t affect the crispness of the batter which was light, but perfect and not greasy. My husband loves fries and it’s hard to find GF fries; so he was excited when he saw the offering of gluten free fish and frites which again were cooked to perfection, and on top of that, they are hand cut! Hubby says they were damned near perfect, not greasy and he gives them a 9/10, but says he’s not sure what a 10/10 would be. The portion size was perfect! I had the fried chicken and fries and it truly was the best fried chicken I’ve ever had, not greasy, moist and seasoned to perfection (a 10/10). Both dishes came with a coleslaw and although it wasn’t a big portion, it was enough for both of us, we were stuffed when we left (no room for dessert). The coleslaw was so fresh and not just your average coleslaw of cabbage and carrots! The service was awesome! Our waitress (Debby) was super friendly and recommended a local IPA beer for me which was very good. Hubby had wine with his meal. We sat on the patio. It was a cool evening, but the heaters were sufficient to keep us comfortably warm. We sat near the balcony rail and enjoyed the calmness of the rippling water in the canal. We were there at 6:30, so enjoyed the sun going down and a change in the canal when the bridge lights came on. The bridge lights are red and white and were reflected in the ripples of water! The ambiance was excellent! Definitely coming back and looking forward to trying out one of the igloos!!

Trevor Lightbody

Awesome place! Great service. Nice views of the canal and bridge. Very nice at night. Good service and excellent food. Best steak i have ever had folowed by an amazing cheesecake.

Linda Stockill

Nice atmosphere but that's where it ends. Prices are very high and small portions of a limited menu. Won't be returning.

Annie Mike mike

Think bay the canal views

Andy Harris

Always great food and nice views from the big patio

Heloisa Varesio

Amazing food and PERFECT service!

Serpico L

Food was great Especially the Chicken! I had the Cuban with the frites and it was delicious, Justin the Head Chef is a Great guy and the place is Top!

Clara Severino

Great experience! We had a large group with a number of children and were able to get a reservation with a few hours notice. We had a lovely table on the patio overlooking the canal with ample space for strollers. All of the staff was very friendly and accommodating. There was love music on the patio as well which was a nice touch. The artist was really great. The menu offered a good mix of options. We sampled a number of dishes, some good and others great. Would definitely recommend for a night out!

Pete Kloppenburg

Good food, good service

Brandy Morris

Amazing food. I had the burger (very spicy!) and my partner had duck grilled cheese which he raved about. Great veer selection and always, always choose fries. Sooo good.

Jeremy Stortz

(Translated) The terrace offers a beautiful view of the Welland Canal. (Original) La terrasse offre une belle vue sur le canal Welland.

christina bouck

great service

Lory Irwin

Atmosphere, food and pricing is what brings me back. Highly recommend. The salmon is phenomenal!..

Darryl Sourwine

A true statement of a bit more cost for much higher quality, was not dissapointed going here.

Kimberly Puszczalowski

Delicious food :)

Jay Kardell

Prime location with great food!

Willis Hammell

Was enthralled by the location and the food quality was exquisite. A short menu could be seen by some as a negative, but I found the selection palatable and in keeping with a smaller joint that does a few things very well. Beer can jerk cornish hen was perfectly cooked, and my guest's fried chicken was absolutely delectable. View of the water was pleasing, and the patio shaded nicely. Only take away was that service was a tad slow, however there was only a single server for the entirety of the patio, and she was lovely.

Ray Edamura

Good food and fine selection of beer.

Brenda McAleese

The Welland Bowl was very tasty. We enjoyed the patio and the changing lights on the bridge.

Tracy Beach

Food was not horrible but certainly not great. Overpriced for what we received. Nice view of the canal and the server was lovely.

Paul Jasek

Atlantic Salmon was amazing!

peter zelko

Always a great treat. Processional servers and fresh innovative food. Bring your big wallet.

Kathleen Bradley

Great food and service.

Dewan Karim

Refreshing view of canal with overhang patio. Food is delicious. Unbeatable view. Relaxing dining and great outdoor seating.

Barbara Dettlinger

Beautiful restaurant great food great service and the best taris Cosmo ever!!!!

Jason Dawe

Very nice staff and the prices weren't to bad for Covid times.

Poor Angus

Went to Taris on the Water a few weeks ago the food was fabulous and the staff was excellent. We are now going to have our wedding reception dinner here in July. Amy is fantastic and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Typhra (Typhra)

We had an excellent server and great food! The menu is small, but they change it often! The desserts are great also!

SoundsGood Auto

I asked for no fries, got fries. I asked for medium rare, got burnt. When they came by several minutes into my meal to ask about the flavor, they didn’t stick around for the answer. My moms burger was good.

Abdulaziz Al Mbarak

Nice location, would recommend it just for coffee

Taylor Mezzalira

We visited yesterday for Father’s Day. We had an amazing time on the patio. Our server was so amazing and he made the experience!! We will definitely be back

Brenda Fowler

My first visit and wont be my last! A gem right in downtown Welland. Beautiful inside and out, whether dining in or on the deck or one of there seasonal igloos. The food is amazing and the portions are excellent.

Clare Parrent

Great food and nice location

Scott Benson

Justen at this restaurant went above and beyond! I ordered a $150 gift card and he personally delivered it to a client of mine on Welland. All class Justen! I hope the owners appreciate what great hire you are.

Felice Forte

Excellent food. Great menu and service. You must try the apple tart and Gelato dessert.

Stirling PH

Best patio with great music and vibes, tasty refreshing cocktails, good service

Roberto Bosch

Service was good, food good, nice place, patio was not open dou to the weather a bit chilly.

Joanna Ruth

I called a few days ago to book an igloo for dinner one evening next week. They said there was availability. Had a call today to say they were cancelling my reservations because they overbooked that time. I think the customer service needs improvements and should be more organized as far as booking reservations. Disappointed.

Richard Nelson

The food was good, the service quite dilatory. Never got asked for drinks. Server disappeared. Etc.

ttvcodfan

Food was above average, the only reason this deserved a five star was the atmosphere, it’s not overly expensive and the view beside the bridge is calming

Mona Albano

The food is good and I like the view of the canal. The outdoor tables have geodesic domes in winter, which appear to be quite comfortable.

Mark McIntyre

Great servers. Pretty sure my potatos were instant.

Trevor Proulx

Excellent food and beautiful view next to the Main St. bridge.

Dani De Angelis

My meal (the chicken suprème) was absolutely delicious, and I find even that is selling it short. We had excellent service from the manager, Amy, and the dishes of my guests were well thought-out and savoury! My group had a lovely night and will remember this place! As a bonus, we got a chance to watch some rowing practice in the canal.

Samuel Noble

Classy

Chris Laborie

This is a wonderful restaurant all around. Delicious food, the staff is very gracious, and the atmosphere is inviting. My personal favorite dish is their Fried Chicken, which is a must try! Their butter nut squash ravioli always hits the spot too. I love their desserts, which are creative and always feature local fruits. I'm a regular on their patio in the summer, and I'll be checking out the igloos this winter. Thanks Taris!

We passed by the place and it looked nice. Stopped in, there was no greeter at the door, fair enough as it was not busy. When the greeter came, she looked us up and down asked if we made reservations and I said no- that was a fair question, but what put me off was the way in which she asked, sounded like ‘what are you doing here without a reservation.’ She proceeded to interrogate us, are you double vaccinated? I said yes but my son isn’t. Again fair questions being asked of all the restaurants I have gone to during the pandemic, however this lady was interrogating us (and there were other patrons waiting behind us at this point). She seated us but her attitude and tone of voice left a bad taste in my mouth and I chose not to stay. My advice: please be kind and courteous to ALL patrons. Would not recommend this place.

Rosy Kumar

View is gorgeous! We went at night so it was really pretty sitting outside. Food was a solid 6 though. The hummus was basically two dollops of hummus spread across a flat plate with 5 chick peas, one split cherry tomato and a few yummy ginger pieces and actually 2 Kalamata olives. Wouldn't recommend. Shrimp cocktail was okay as well. Steak was well cooked but flavourless and the mashed potatoes lacked any salt. Veggies were way too few. The salmon was good with a delicious sauce on top. The ribs were great also. Mac & cheese was super dry on the inside and could have used more cheese. Food wasn't up my alley for sure. If you go, it won't be for the food! View only.

Peter Walchuk

Wow, first time we had dinner here. Simply outstanding. Appetizers were fantastic. Staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back for lunch and dinner again.

Donna Dims

We recently enjoyed our retirement dinner given by our family at Taris on the Water. Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Glad to see vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is pleasant and attentive. We will visit again.

Alana stewart

Really enjoy coming to this restaurant; the atmosphere, food, decor & service are always impeccable. Every meal I have tried has been delicious , my favourite so far has been the salmon with pakora. Have brought a few visitors from as close as Hamilton and as far as the UK & all were very impressed as well. This is definitely my go to restaurant when I’m looking for a nice night out in Welland !

Ginette Brouwer

Wonderful atmosphere, warm and caring staff, amazing food.

Cray Ballard

(Translated) Nice place, but lacks consistency. Nice interior layout, but a little overcrowded in the dining room. On the terrace, the railing is made of glass, so there is no obstruction between our gaze and the canal. Thus, the view is breathtaking on the canal and the bridge. Very pleasant to eat near a stream. On the other hand, food side, lack of consistency !! I chose a "Taris Greens" salad, 2 days apart, and the quality varied a lot. On Thursday this salad had almost all greens. On Saturday the salad had a lot more pecans and cranberries. Despite everything, we had very good service, especially on Saturdays. One of the few beautiful restaurants in Welland. (Original) Bel endroit, mais manque de constance. Bel aménagement intérieur, mais un peu surchargé dans la salle à manger. Sur la terrasse, le garde-corps est en verre, donc, aucune obstruction entre notre regard et le canal. Ainsi, la vue est imprenable sur le canal et le pont. Très agréable de manger près d’un cours d’eau. Par contre, côté bouffe, manque de constance!! J’ai choisi une salade «Taris Greens», à 2 jours d’intervalle, et la qualité variait beaucoup. Le jeudi, cette salade avait presque uniquement de la verdure. Le samedi, la salade avait beaucoup plus de pacanes et de canneberges. Malgré tout, nous avons eu un très bon service, surtout le samedi. Un des rares beaux restos à Welland.

Tracy Green

I loved this restaurant in the past ... but today my Cobb salad was more like Cobb soup. Way too much dressing, lettuce was limp, one cherry tomatoe cut in half! It used to be full of avacado and egg...today one quarter of an avacado not diced... half a boiled egg...definitely not worth 16 dollars ... my lunch partner didn’t eat any of it.. waste of money...two stars because ambiance is nice and service was good

Stanley Chen

The restaurant serve great foods and the places are nice.

Julio C

A bit disappointed with canned beans and vegies served on the bowl.

Darlene Roux

Great food awesome staff service is top notch

Alessandro Zamai

Bruschetta was really good. Welland good bowl was mediocre.

Shane Robertson

What a wonderful little place on the water in Welland. With a beautiful setting of the water and the bridge you really feel like you are somewhere else! Definitely a Niagara hidden gem.

Brian's Kitchen

Welland needs more places like this. Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. Justin was our server and he was fantastic! Great personality and made sure we were always looked after. Went there with 5 other friends and all of us really enjoyed our time and food. The Welland Bowl was something my wife really enjoyed and was a hit with other at the table. I had the burger which was very, very good! The French onion soup was on point too. Thanks to everyone at Taris!

Brian Glasgow

Our plan was to spend a quiet romantic evening celebrating our anniversary and the evening was perfect

Rich Maddox

Amazing

Paul Vandeven

Got married and had the reception there. Cannot praise this restaurant enough. Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Bruno Silva

Tom's Burger was perfect with the natural bbq taste achieved by the cooking process and not by adding BBQ sauce. Perfect.

Edwin Vane

Great location, great food. Server was friendly.

Valentina Lòpez

Excellent restaurant. I love the atmosphere and the food! Sad that restaurants are closed but I’m so happy they’re open for takeaway.

Hans Fehlow

Great food and a amazing view from the terrace looking at the old Welland canal!

Derek Hounslow

Taris on the water never disappoints... The food is always great.. The staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is amazing and the views make you feel like your somewhere European... Not in the heart of Welland... The outdoor igloo experience was amazing..

Joan Medina

Wonderful view of the river, delicious lunch and attentive service. We will return.

Alex Inman

Was there for dinner on Sunday, amazing experience. Jaden was an amazing server; personable, knew her stuff, awesome in general. Cory Cruise was performing live music which was great, as we also had a chance to see him perform Friday as well, but front row seats this time. Food was extremely top notch as well. Only suggestion; to tone er down a bit with the hot peppers on the calamari. Had a tear in my eye at one point, but worth it in the end, as it was delicious :P. Overall, been here 3 times, first time on the patio, but always a great experience. Keep it up! Alex

Evan Marx

Great fries and coleslaw but the chicken was disappointingly soggy. Also not sure why their bucket has only thighs.

Jonathan Ng

We had a tasting platter, mussels and burger. Just super.

katherin campos

Vegan choice was amazingly good

Kira Nguyen

One of the best places in Welland and the Niagara region in general. Amazing hospitality and the food is divine. You can tell that the chef is really passionate, which is a rarity nowadays. Try the fried chicken, you won't regret it! In terms of Covid-19, they follow restrictions to the T. In the summer they have an amazing patio. Indoor seating is well spaced a part too. If you can call ahead, try booking one of their 'igloo' outdoor seating spaces. So cool!

Cooper Curtis

The food is always well prepared and flavorful, cashiers hands over good customer service. I love how clean it is and ambience. I highly recommend this place.

Paola Girotti

Such a great find. The reviews are bang on about this place. The lovely dining manager Amy clearly enjoys her job. The Welland bowl we as fantastic.

Ken Breitenbach

Food and staff were amazing. They serve Delerium Tremens here.

L Ferbrache

Delicious!

Jacob Bryant

Great food at a reasonable price, with an excellent view of the old canal. Definitely recommend the bruschetta trio!

Jason Arruda

Lunch

Denise McPherson

Always always recommending this place, I have never had a bad experience.. food great and the prices too..????

Craig C

Food and staff where great !

Petia Bonev

I had my wedding at this wonderful restaurant September 28, 2019 and everything was perfect, from the hospitality of the staff to the food, and Excellent service. I had planned to have the dinner at Taris on the Water and the wedding ceremony in my backyard, but the weather did not co operate with my plans. I spoke with Amy, who is absolutely wonderful in every way and she worked things out so that we could also have our ceremony on the patio of the restaurant. I must thank-you Amy, you saved my special day. I thank the entire staff, the food was amazing all my guests enjoyed their meals. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone I know, to have a dinner or to have a event it's perfect setting for any gathering. Thanks Amy and all staff, you made my day perfect.

A M

The food is always fantastic. I'd give 5 stars if the service was more consistent. The main issue, my wife called to make a reservation for the 2 of us for 8pm a few days prior but was told no because the kitchen closes at 9 that night. We were shocked because 1 hour prior to the kitchen closing should be lots of time. So instead she ordered us takeout for the night we wanted. When we arrived at 8pm to pick up the food, the hostess greeted us and prepared to seat us. We mentioned were ordered take out but I was a little confused and asked her about it. She said they wouldn't turn someone away who showed up and did not understand why someone would not have given us the reservation 1 hour before the kitchen closes. She agreed that should be plenty of time. We could tell she did not want to throw anyone under the bus and back tracked saying it must be a new manager rule she is unaware of. She also told us to just show up next time rather than trying to make a reservation. The worst part about all of it for me was there were only 2 tables of people in the restaurant, they were essentially empty. You would think they would want to make money to compensate from the pandemic. By the way, it was a male voice on the phone telling us they don't seat an hour before the kitchen closes.

Dwight Egerter

Awesome burger, Welland Bowl with salmon and Rigatoni.

Sterner

Fantastic lunch, dinner menus. Nice attention to flavours and presentation. Beautiful on patio in summer watching bridge change colours; gorgeous and cozy in winter. Really nice upscale night out :) highly recommend. Reservations recommended for weekends.

Sandy Minors

Delicious food. Kind service. Comfortable setting with a beautiful view!

Dean Hoath

Great food!!!!! Great service. Keep up the hard work

Irene Stewart

Food was great tasting Portion size is small..service is good.

Nick Sebastian

This has been our "Go To" restaurant for business and personal lunches and dinner. Food is always top shelf, and the service 5 star. The best kept secret is the "Wine Room" downstairs when you have a larger party of 10-12 people. Private and secluded. A perfect place for a birthday or small celebration.

PGP Canuck

Alway cone in the summer for a stella and a bite after a good bike ride

Carolyn Ambrose

Food was delicious and the patio on the water was beautiful. The big umbrellas provide great shade. The length of time it took to get our food was quite long, however.

Jodi Steele

Great lunch

Tracy Collins

Very nice. Private function booking. Staff was very friendly. Food service was very good and timely.

Tracey Kore

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. You can tell that a lot of thought has been put into making this place fabulous. I've been there twice now and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Service was great the first time and so-so the second time. Still totally worth it though

Kevin Reles

I had the Welland bowl and finished it all! Simple ingredients and very good with a side of salmon. I’ll be back soon enough! Love the Open Table app too!

Neil Law

Came across this place while going to the medical center. Menu looked good and it had decent reviews. Overall we were very impressed with this place. Wine list wasn't extensive but had a good selection. My wife and I shared the delicious shrimp Provencal which had lots of fresh veggies. My wife had the fish tacos which were good, a different sauce on each would have been better. I had the mixed greens ceaser with a very tasty salmon. The greens and dressing were delicious. Service was excellent as was the view. We'll definitely be coming back to this find

Samantha Driesel

Fantastic restaurant! Our new favourite! Excellent food, service and staff! Well done!!

Justin Turner

Great food. Great location. More vegetarian options needed, like any other restaurant.

Heather Lewis

Very happy with the atmosphere and food at Taris! Justin was our server and was exceptional. Very happy and outgoing young man. Happy to have something like this close to home! The view on a summers night is unlike any local restaurant in this area.

John MacBeth

Good quality

Mark Leja

Great spot, not crowded, nice view from the patio overlooking the river. Service was real...not a canned over the top franchise resto style greeting. Our waiter was quick, efficient, gave us the right amount of time to review the menu. We asked his opinion, he gave it, we were happy. Burger was freshly made, really good!!! My wife had the haddock (lightly battered), also delicious, and not greasy. The fries that came with, home made, thin cut, cooked in clean oil! You can tell. We topped it with a cappacino, desert (flaky) and pistachio gelato. I'm not a desert guy so, not fair to rate, but I always have to try it. Support this resto/bar...good food, good staff....now go spend your hard earned dollars here!

Paul Smith

Really nice atmosphere. Very good food for the price. Service was polite and fast. Would definitely recommend.

Elizabeth Ireland

Excellent service and great food! Atmosphere exceptional!

obiwan B

Very nice atmosphere

Tanera DeBeau

Love the food. Have only been for lunch numerous times, can't wait to try it for dinner.

Aaron Dyck

I went here with my wife while she was working in Welland. I ordered the bruschetta appetizer - described as bruschetta on a seasonal crostini. Well they brought it out and the menu described it backwards. The crostini was the same across the board, but the bruschetta (if you could call it that) was not. There was one that was normal, one that had shellfish, and one that had mushrooms. I expected bruschetta, and am allergic to shellfish. I also don't eat mushrooms. The staff were able to bring me three regular bruschetta, which is the one saving grace. The entrees were fantastic - I would eat the food here again any time. It was the lack of accuracy of the menu that reduce my overall rating.

Kamil Salagan

Food and service was great. Prices are a bit high but this is a prime location.

Rob Nesbitt

Got the fish and chips. Great cut of fish, the house made coleslaw was the best I've ever tasted. Tarter sauce was delicious. Fries were cut wonderfully and tasted great.

Nicolas Vocal

5 star for the staff and overall ambiance of the restaurant. The menu in theory is great but food is not as good as you'd expect at this price point.

Jason M

Best restaurant experience in Welland! Being a Level 5 Local Guide as part of Google's Local Guides program I am simply compelled to write this stellar 5 ***** review. Excellent lunch service with flavourful food and nice views overlooking the canal. The grilled shrimp and calamari were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fresh greens salad sprinkled with Quinoa and candied pecans was off the charts as far as a salad ever could. The ice wine vinaigrette and pickled beets was perfect with hints of rosemary and thyme. - I look forward to coming back for a dinner service.

wyatt deschamps

Great quality and amazing service! Keep up the good work guys!

Susan Ward

Terrific food. Great service!

Great food and one of the best patios in Niagara. Highly recommend.

Taylor Allen

Was there a week ago and really enjoyed everything! The food was great, service was amazing, and drinks even better! Would reccomend this place to anyone!

Tim

Great food, excellent atmosphere and fantastic staff.

Peter Zhang

Food is terrible, maybe I'm comparing this to Toronto standard. Hope I don't get food poisoning, I had a full plate of reheated stake.

Ella RoseDay Marten

Me and my boyfriend went here and we had a great time! The food was delicious and it was so romantic. I really enjoy this place and I hope I could be here again because I live for the sight on the canal, it’s so beautiful. Welland is so beautiful.

Order Department

We have enjoyed many special occasions at Taris. Not only is the food beautiful but Justen always goes over and above to make your night special. Not only is he a true professional but you can tell he loves what he does and it really attracts people to this special destination. Thanks for the memories!

scott hunter

Very small portions. Lobster mac and cheese was awful.

Emilio Alonso

excellent food ! very clean and comfortable seating , our server Nicole was friendly and helpful will definitely be back!

Shane Bep

Made reservations online and never received a confirmation. My girlfriend made some with them online just incase and received an email confirmation but apparently they called afterwards and said they couldn't take us anymore. Would have been nice for them to follow up with my original reservation and not send a confirmation for our second leaving us with the thought that our valentines day dinner was good to go. Now were stuck trying to find a restaurant that isn't fully booked. Thanks guys.

Dan Degazio

Beautiful location and great food

Amy Lefebvre

We just happened to be in Welland and found this charming restaurant. The food was flavourful and unique. The pakoras were my favourite - I couldn’t stop trying to get more sauce. I love that the flourless chocolate cake was just slightly warm. And the waiter was very helpful. Need to find an excuse to make the drive back.

Amazing views. Great food.

Minh F.

Food was good but not the best part of the experience. Atmosphere and service is the reason this night was so memorable. Our server paid attention to the small details that make all the difference. My daughter had a Shirley Temple and I mentioned in passing that she liked the cherries and next drink she loaded up her drink with cherries. That is what makes an experience go from good to great!!!

Jenny Ruthven

Amazing food and beautiful view!

Emilia S

great food! Wish there were more Gluten free options but overall, very enjoyable

Linda Shedden

Good coffee.

Samantha Brinker

Food and service was fantastic; Had the chicken and mushroom risotto; requested to sub the brussel sprouts for a salad and the chef asked our waitress if I'd be okay to try a few on the side anyway. So glad I said yes - they tasted incredible. I'd definitely have them again. Cheesecake was top notch; great flavour

Scott Armstrong

Fried chicken and Oast

Brittany Hall

Beautiful establishment in a prime location. Perfect ambiance for a casual lunch date, with a romanticly dim dinner setting as well. The food is always interesting and delicious. The drinks are somewhat lack luster, otherwise a 5 star rating would have been on the menu. ;)

Greg A

Absolutely fantastic! From the service, to the portion sizes and flavor profile, everything was fresh and in one word perfect . The staff and owners were nothing but warm and welcoming, very appreciative of compliments, and our business. Thank you for serving the best birthday dinner we have had. I am very happy Welland has a place like this to eat a fresh, healthy, and delicious meal.

Stephen LaRose

Best In Welland, Friendly and Courteous. Food is great with updated menus using local ingredients.

Janette Vantol

Just a nice quiet place tucked in a corner overlooking part of the Welland canal that is now used by rowers, kayakers and paddle boarders. Has an outdoor patio which we are always looking for and just some great food! Definitely coming back to try something else, maybe an evening where the sparkly lights will be on?

Nancy Taylor

It was the nices day with my moonlight

Mike Clarke

Beautiful restaurant. Exceptionall friendly service and great food. Just love it there. Worth the drive!

Murray Downie

First time back since outdoor dining reopened. Food was good but service was not as good as it should have been. The entree order was wrong, appetizer plates weren't cleared. I'm sure it will take some time for everyone to get up to speed. Nice patio along the canal in Welland.

Judy Ellis

Great food. Great Patio.

Kathy Porcaro

The service was excellent. The take out Food was delicious. We had the weekend special. It was ????.

Anne Matos

Great atmosphere, yummy food and efficient service! What more could you want? The calamari and fresh shucked oysters were fabulous. The steak lettuce wraps and chicken burger were amazing. Our server Justin was welcoming and very attentive to our needs. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!!

Tom Robins

Nice location and food was great. Will be back.

tammy c

Fabulous alternative spot when visiting Niagara Falls. This is a great find. Tired of the tourist food places in the area, we found this only 20 minutes away. We had dinner on the patio right by the water. It is October but the temperature was still warm and the tent blocked off the strong wind so it was lovely sitting outside. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, the steak was done perfectly medium rare and the cornish game hen tasty. Just a small quibble - larger plates for easier maneuvering. Service was slow but our server was really friendly. Really happy to find a place that is serious about food so close to the falls. Will definitely return when in the area.

jen bawden

Very nice. Salmon was delicious. As were the bacon wrapped shrimp from the Q, and especially the mac and cheese which I stole from my husband. Nice location next to the bridge which lights up.

Jenn S

Amaze!!! Justin, food n bevies ... Perfection!!! New fave!!! Ambiance by the water a wicked plus!!!

Trevor Beattie

Excellent food

JJ RIENAS

Lovely patio, nice atmosphere, consistently good food. Great service this time around too!

Troy Breezky

Second time trying Taris. Nice atmosphere. Food is subpar. Patio seems nice.

Ferdos Alam

Great spot to dine when in Welland.

Sarah Anne

The only place to ever eat at in welland.

Andréa Michaud

Amazing chef, delicious food and wonderful wine list for pairings. This instantly became my favourite Niagara restaurant! A must try ... it's love at first bite!!!

Crystal

This was our favorite place in town, but it's been at least 8 months since we dined here. Service and atmosphere still top notch but the food has been declining - we had 3 bad meals in a row and swore we wouldn't be back until the menu got an overhaul. Used to have a beautiful cobb salad, duck confit salad, fantastic grilled calamari appetizer with chorizo and fennel... replaced it fried calamari, pakoras and falafel. The chef seems to think he can call anything "nicoise" as long as he puts hard boiled eggs and beans in it. Since when are soba noodles and kimchi "nicoise"? If I want pakoras and kimchi I'll go to the Smoking Buddha. We'll keep checking the menu and hoping for better.

Sharon McMillan

Very good

Ryan Otter

Great menu and fantastic food/ staff

Denielle Duncan

Enjoyed another great meal with friends at Taris. Shared pakoras vegan appetizer plate and the savoury waffles and all were amazing. For mains we had the fillet mignon, lamb shank and squash ravioli and we were all very pleased with our entrees. Our server (Debbie) was friendly, helpful and attentive. The decor had recently been decorated for the holiday season and was quite beautiful. We visit this restaurant maybe 3 times yearly and are always pleased with the food,service and overall experience. I wish they were closer to us ( Toronto) so we could frequent it more often. As a vegetarian it's sometimes harder to find nicer restaurants to please the carnivores and myself but at Taris we are all happy.

Paul Rogers

Great food and service. Atmosphere is also fantastic!!!

MissKooka

Sat on the patio with my family for a meal and had a great experience. The patio overlooks the canal and is beautiful, the meals and drinks were delicious, and we loved the atmosphere so much- we will be back. Found the prices on the higher side so it probably won’t be a regularly-frequented spot, but a nice-special-occasion spot.

Jim Morris

Service is amazing. Very attentive and professional. The view of course is second to none. Somewhat disappointing size of portions vs price. Will go back again.

Paul Fahy

Couldn’t possibly comment on the food as we didn’t make it to that point. Made a reservation for the outdoor seating and paid a deposit over the phone to secure same. Received a call from a lady approx. 3 hours before our reservation to inform that our outdoor reservation had been cancelled due to weather damaging the iglo. Upon asking to rebook for an alternate day it was stated me that the outdoor seating would not be available until next year. At this time I advised we would still be attending to dine inside as the menu appeared to be very well compiled. On our arrival and noticing that one of the two outdoor dining areas was still in use, we were very puzzled with what was told to us two hours earlier. We were greated by a nice gentleman who was very apologetic about the situation, insisting that what was relayed to me over-the-phone was a miscommunication. The gentleman did offer us a complimentary drink and was friendly in communication. No complaints with his service or attempts to resolve the situation to book for a secondary date. Due to the fact that the woman on the phone had straight up lied to us we decided to request a refund of the deposit amount and attend somewhere else. Very disappointed as this was our primary choice for the days celebration, in reading the reviews it is clear that reservation issues have occurred in the past so I felt a necessity to share our experience.

Crusingfran

Enjoyed the atmosphere here, views are very nice, we ate inside, found the room very interesting. I had the daily special, which was Duck confit with a mushroom risotto. The risotto was lovely, very creamy with arugula which I would not have thought would compliment it so well. The confit, however was not to my taste, I found it very salty, but, since I am no expert chef I will just pass on it in future. My husband and daughter had the salmon, and both enjoyed their meal. We plan on going back, although not too often, as the prices are a little high.

Cody C

Nice design and patio. Food and service needs work. Been here twice both times fell short.

LIam Jones 17

Ate here one time, service was great, food was not bad, fish piece too big should be made into two thou. Nice decor, fancy, love it and def worth a second visit!

Adam Grundy

Absolutely stunning! We came from Thorold just to dine here and we were amazed ! The food was delicious and the presentation immaculate , and not to mention the staff were just as pleasing ! Adam & Leechelle

Tessa Simkin

FANTASTIC home made food. Great service. Owners were there and were very friendly, asking how everything was. Wonderful local spot, right on the water!

Victoria Royer

Awesome. Had the Schnitzel and Spetzle. Amazing.

Chad Wismer

Awesome restaurant on the famous Welland Canal. Delicious food and excellent atmosphere. Wonderful owner's and the manager Amy is fantastic. If you have never been, I personally guarantee its worth the drive to Welland. Highly recommended

April Reibling

Food didnt have much flavour. Was very expensive. Spent more in lunch then dinner at similar establishments

Bob Mackie

Having dinner with Janice, food was tremendous !! We will definitely be back !!!

Martine D'Onofrio

This is a beautiful venue! Intimate, upscale with view of the Welland Canal and the bridge right outside the window. Just had my daughter's Bridal Shower today at Taris On The Water. Worked closely with Amy Dutera to coordinate all the details. She was so helpful and always available to answer all my questions. We had approx 30 guests and the staff was attentive, organized, efficient and professional. The food was excellent with the presentation exquisite. Thank you Chef Justin Upper for the fabulous menu and thank you Sous Chef Dave Spano for your flawless execution today. Thanks again Amy and staff for making this day extra special!

Pete Mancuso

Patio is perfect

Valerie Melitzer

Cannot say enough about this gem of an upscale eatery, from the beautiful interior and location near the Welland canal, personable and knowledgeable wait staff, and absolutely delicious and artfully presented food. Loved the evening ambience, watching the changing colors on the bridge. Very memorable evening.

peter st. pierre

very poor service. as a retired consultant for the lcbo that use to train wait staff do wine lists and help restaurants improve profit....this is the worst I've seen in years. never sit customers unless you are going to serve them. very sad. never ever go to this restaurant. will be posting to all my friends across the province esp in Niagara area. good luck with your future. for your sake I hope you improve.

Kayla Mudford

Was here tonight. We had charcuterie, calamari, perogies, baked Brie and cheesecake. Everything was phenomenal. Service was fantastic. It was our first time but definitely won’t be our last. We sat inside but still had a great view of the canal!

Amber Green

TL;DR- If you’re visiting the Niagara area or live within driving distance, MAKE THE TRIP to Welland and eat here. Full Review: Fantastic, and NOT just when compared to locals. Admittedly, the chef and I share a palette, as this was one of those times where every flavor combination sounded (and was!) delicious. For instance, I almost NEVER order chicken as my main course - especially when there’s a fillet to be had- but the description drew me in, and I was blown away. Moreover, the chef’s plating was among the best I’ve ever seen (beautiful as in pic below) including multiple AA Rosette owning establishments where I’ve visited and worked. The reasonably-priced cocktails were fantastic (I had two...) and the wine list wasn’t needlessly extensive or expensive. Finally, I am SUPER glad we saved room for dessert, because the flourless chocolate cake was genuinely memorable. The culinary experience I just described combined with the view (see pic from our table below) and was topped off by excellent service. Taris on the Water was easily one of my most enjoyable dinners in memory. Bravo!

Kathy Vega

Great patio. Excellent service and expansive menu.

Russ Cadwell

Great food, reasonably priced (had lunch with a group). The patio is a must see, it's a really beautiful scene being right next to the water. Portions are a little smaller than expect but leave you with that 'healthy almost full' feeling. Incredibly nice staff. A must visit.

Réjeanne Gregoire

Very good

Dave “Blueshound92” Blueshound

Wow to the view, wow to the food's and wow to the staff

Jason Culp

Great food and staff. Prices were good. View was fantastic. Went with a friend who has a garlic allergy. Was not an issue. 5 star.

Rachel Emery

I've visited a handful of times and the food is always good. The last time my butternut squash ravioli was under-seasoned. The butternut squash ravioli is my favourite dish. I'd recommend it to anyone. I'd love to visit more the next time I'm in Welland. The patio outside is very nice in the summer and fall. Nice view of the canal and the bridge at night. A bit pricey for the portion sizes. The drinks are definitely overpriced. Not a casual spot and definitely not somewhere to bring your kids.

Josee Lafreniere

Delicious food Great service

Barb King

Excellent food and service

Ian McMillan

Food was alright, overpriced though.

Vanessa Belanger

This restaurant is a hidden gem. From the staff to the ambiance to the excellent food. Views of the water and the bridge. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. During these difficult times with Covid they provided a professional and reassuring experience.

Micheal Ostoforoff

Lunch on the terrace. Appetizers only - the fried gnocchi was excellent. Great service!

Frank Girardi

Great food and atmosphere

N

Good food, very limited parking

Deb H

Excellent! Perfectly cooked salmon, fantastic Caesar salad, husband's pasta bolognese was delicious. Pasta (made in house) and veggies cooked al dente...delicious. We will definitely return.

ryan e

The staff was super friendly, even brought my daughter and grandmother blankets because the evening was chilly. The food was amazing and atmosphere is great!!!!

Dave Tancock

Beautiful view of the canal bridge. The owners are always there welcoming you.

Hilary Hale

Service was excellent!!!! Food was very good as well. I'll definitely return :)

Marco Ricci

Server never told us gratuity was included in bill and we tipped on top unknowingly. Shady business.

Lewis Rowe

Great Canada day experience in Welland!

George Schmidt

We went for lunch at Taris. Great service from friendly staff. Good menu choices. Excellent food. Delicious dessert! Warm atmosphere and ambience! We'll definitely be back!

Zac Konings

Good spot overall - lovely quiant atmosphere. I did feel it was a bit overpriced for the offering. My partner and I tried the fried chicken for 2 - 25 dollars. Included were six small to moderately sized pieces of chicken (which admittedly were very very good) and a modest portion of fries and a spoonful (literally) of coleslaw. I wouldnt call it highway robbery, but probably 4-5 bucks over what it should be. While the server was nice, the pace of the meal was FAR too fast, it felt like we were being conveyor belt fed our meal and apps, in the matter of 15 mins. Understand the place wasnt super busy, but it runs the experience a fair bit. Overall suggest checking out and I will try again, likely different items this time around.

JOHN GREER

Execellent food and service

Miss Mel

Way over priced for very little food!

Andrew H

Had dinner on the patio on Saturday, couples night out. I've said it before and I'll say it again, best Tenderloin in the region. Steaks were delicious. We started with the Burranti and boy do we wish this came with 1 more crustini and another slice of prosciutto, it was delish. We'll be back soon!

Nurse Victoria (Lady of Science)

My sister and I went to Taris on the Water with our boyfriends and had the most wonderful evening! The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is impeccable, and the food is absolutely delicious. Considering the amount of food and drinks we had through our visit, the price was extremely reasonable. We are going back this weekend!

Jellyjinu Prinza

Amazing experience Made our post Raptors victory celebrations even more memorable. The service was super . The ambience was lovely. Got to meet the lovely owners . Will definitely come back

Mel Cola

Yummy! Fish tacos! Or Wine + charcuterie

Roland Giguere

Great food and options for vegetarians

Vince Polce

Excellent food. Decent prices...great views

CJ V

Excellent food and service! A new restaurant that seems to understand the intricacies of cuisine.

Graham Lough

Food was fantastic. Service was underwhelming at best. Waited constantly for service and drinks and bill. Have been to Taris many times starting to wonder why I keep going back.

L

Third day of summer didn't get any better than having a late lunch at Taris. Great food, patio and awesome service(Justin) who DOES make the best dirty martini!

Wendy Tucker

Quiet restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. I have never had a bad meal here. Staff is fantastic!

Denise Lundgren

We stumbled upon this by accident. We had lunch on the patio. It’s a great location and great atmosphere as well. They were short staffed but it wasn’t really noticed. The wait staff were running their butts off. The food was delicious and the cosmo was fantastic! Will definitely be back.

Margaret Choi

Nice setting, warm and friendly service. Great food. Will definitely go back!

Mike Acosta

Not impressed. Whoever the chef is in the restaurant has got to get more training. Asked for a rare steak and came out medium. Potatoes way over done. Service from older brunette lady (didn’t give name) was absolutely worse I’ve ever had and didn’t even off any specials, refills, etc. Cocktails were subpar. For the atmosphere this place has I’d really expect more. Didn’t tip and definitely won’t be back.

Amanda Campbell

Love how they are always updating the menu, check out their instagram for photos of the food... so delicious and looks EXACTLY like the photos. Also if you are looking for a patio they have one right next to the cannel perfect for sunny days

David McCormick

We’ve been to Taris a few times for the lovely waterside setting and the patio atmosphere. The food is fine, but the ambience is the real draw.

Trevor Cunningham

On June 8th, 2019 we celebrated my mom's 75th birthday with about 22 guests at Taris on the Water. We had an amazing time. The food was delicious, the service was great and the manager, Amy, was superb and on top of every detail. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate the most perfect person in the world! Would recommend this restaurant to all!

Anoop Haridas

In one word: excellent. My wife and I are doing a long weekend visiting all over Niagara for our anniversary and had dinner here. The atmosphere is quite cosy and romantic. We ordered a sweet white which was the best we've had in quite a while. Both the vegan basket and sphagetti verdes we ordered were delicious and had unique flavors. The service was also top notch. Altogether, a dining experience that positively contributed to a truly memorable anniversary.

Mick Majid

Wonderful place and excellent food

Erica & Mike Jurus

Good food, but beware if you're taking a gift certificate. We went there for a bridal shower for a co-worker, and several of us had $50 gift certificates -- a gift from our manager for Admin Assistants Day. My bill came to a little over $43, and the restaurant was prepared to pocket the balance -- no offer of credit for the balance, which is illegal by the way. They did this with several of us, in varying amounts of unused credit. I insisted on getting a cheesecake to go, which the staff was quite surly about, so I took it with me on principle but didn't eat it (for obvious reasons). Will not patronize this restaurant again, and have reported it to the government.

Jacob Cashin

The food is good, and the atmosphere is lovely. A nice spot in Welland for a date or a professional meeting!

Jeremy Peacock

I'm going to flat out say it. Did not expect a place like this in Welland. The food is really good. Expect that to be reflected in the prices though. But having said that every time we've gone the menu has been different. They really keep the menu changing with the seasons. So that's pretty cool. And you get to keep trying new things every time you go. The patio is right on the canal. Beautiful and when it starts getting later the canal bridge lights up. Last time we went with friends and it got a little too cool. One of the girls mentioned that and I don't know if it was the hostess or owner but she overheard that and brought out these little blankets for the girls. Other women at other tables called her over and they provided blankets for all the ladies that requested them. It was obviously thought out before hand and not a random blanket or two. I thought that was a classy touch. Whether it's a classy night out with friends or a romantic dinner date I would recommend this place.

David Tucker

Great food, attentive service, excellent location, awesome patio by the canal. There are too many favourites, but the braised short ribs are always fall off the bone delicious, steaks are hand cut in the back, fish tacos are exactly what they should be (not mexicanized), and butter nut squash ravioli is always a treat. Lots of interesting cocktails. Nice way to dine out in Welland. And too many negative comments about parking, there are tons of places to park if you don't mind a 1-2 minute walk by the canal to the restaurant.

Kevin Brewer (Kmanbrew)

Great food, friendly staff and nice view of canal! Prices are on the higher side, but not out if ordinary for type of restaurant.

Adam Saxon

Went for lunch to check the place out. Too upscale/expensive for a work break but a nice place. No reasonably priced lunch items.

Kendra Wilson

(Translated) A very cozy place with a view towards the canal and its bridge. Very good everything. Above all the Ravioli. (Original) Un lugar muy acogedor con un vista hacia el canal y su puente. Muy bueno todo. Sobretodo los Ravioli.

Janine Nigh

We had a group of 10 that I needed to make reservations for during COVID 19. It was extremely difficult to find a place that would accommodate us. However, Taris found a way to maintain all of the guidelines and make it a lovely experience on the patio. In the end our party reduced to 6 and they were very gracious about the changes.

Marilyn O'Neill

Awesome food and ambiance! Only question is what to try next!

Gregoire Laverdiere

Outstanding food and very friendly staff. We had to wait longer than one would expect between courses and for the bill, especially for a week day lunch

John Caughill

great food and service today

terry marzec

What an awesome find!!! Just passing through and stopped for lunch. Absolutely stunning atmosphere! The mac and cheese was unlike anything else. Creamy, full of flavour with moist duck and truffle oil wafting through my senses. Incredible. Can't wait to go back in spring and sit on the deck overlooking the canal.

Elaine S

Had my son's wedding reception here on the weekend. Fabulous. Beautiful venue inside and out. Added an element of sophistication to the event. The patio was a hit as it was a gorgeous day and evening. Guests enjoyed their meals. Staff were very accommodating. Wonderful room downstairs for the bride to get ready and be with her friends and family before the big moment. Amy was a tremendous help. Always a text away. Would certainly recommend Taris on the Water for an event.

Angie Davis

Great food

Debbie Czerkies

What a gem! Jayden (?) Was wonderful. She was very informed about the menu and happy to help with any questions or modifications. The food was out of this world. Unfortunately, we had to send back the calamari the first time because it was so overcooked we couldn't eat it. However, it was quickly remedied and came out perfect the second time. Also, there was a gentleman playing guitar and singing on the patio and I enjoyed every minute. I highly, recommend this spot! Thanks to Gary at our bed and breakfast for recommending it!

wade c

Great atmosphere

Hannah McNeill

Try the poutine! Not something I'd normally order but the best app I've ever tried.

Dennis Busch

Not impressed. WAY, WAY over priced. Service was slow. Meal was okay but not what I would expect from a place with that type of atmosphere. Staff was very friendly right up until the point where I paid the bill but left no tip, then his demeanor changed. I will never be back.

Doug Stones

Excellent food. Nice location on the water and friendly service.

Cindy Thorpe

Food was very good however the the drink offerings were a little eclectic for my taste. Service was really good.

Cathy Rooker

The view was beautiful the meal was great service was very good

Cheri Irving

Stopped in on a whim. We were seated right away and our waiter Justin was super pleasant. The food was phenomenal. I will definitely return!

James McCombs

It's hard to believe this little place is in welland! The food is excellent, the service excellent and the views... amazing! We were in one of the heated igloos in the patio. They are very warm and cozy with an excellent view of the bridge and canal. I highly recommend for a fine dining experience right here at home. Thank you Taris on the water for a great evening!

Todd Sanders

Evbellent view and service ...food was certainly decent...reccomend

Lindsay Bryan

Good food, lovely service, very nice location.

Chris Badali

Amazing restaurant with great friendly staff. Food was spectacular as was the service. Ever table and chair was sanitized after use as well

Pierre Désilet

Service

Kathy Jones

Place is very pretty inside and very CLEAN. I ate here once before and this time food portion was very small..ordered fish and chips...was good but not great for $16 Also the kitchen staff there was a guy singing a song about how he loved drugs...so not ideal especially with a ten yr old at table and the deck wasnt as nice as i rembered...will not be returning.

Denise Therrien

Beautiful place. Decent location, but not a lot of parking during the day. The food is super yummy with great options. The winter igloo is a must do. Prices are a bit high but for the quality, understandable.

Ron Davies

Nice atmosphere, great décor, the best patio in town. Food was great but portions were small considering the price. Loved the fried chicken.

BANDC Gra

We dined with my sister and her husband. There were 4 of us. Food was good and service was great. It was enjoyable sitting outside and surprisingly quiet.

Debra Paul

Lovely anniversary dinner for 2. Great service and delicious meal. So amazing to sit by the canal and look out at the bridge changing colour.
