50th birthday party flop. I chose this restaurant so my guests had the option of high end meals and also decently priced burgers. I got there to find out the chef decided not to serve burgers on Sundays anymore. Now all my guests had to over pay for ok food. As a cook myself, I was excited for the burgers so needless to say my big birthday event went south real quick. Thanks for nothing. Oh, the server said we would get 15% off for the inconvenience which then turned into the tax off cause they didn't know how to honor the 15%. Price is too high and portions are too big. We even had to ask for forks to eat our meal. I won't return to try the burgers.
My mum drove in from out of town to try the burgers at this place. When she arrived, she was advised that they only do burgers on Wednesdays ( she had emailed and asked for menu prior to driving in and was sent the burger menu ). When she questioned the menu that she was sent , the male server said “ it’s no skin off my back if you don’t eat here “. Are you kidding me ? That’s probably the most unprofessional, disgusting service I have ever heard of. When she told us the story - our JAWS DROPPED. What a poor representation of your establishment.
Very unhappy with the slow service from waitress. After serving our btl of wine she disappeared for an hour. The hostess had to find her. We were then rushed into ordering our appetizers at the same time as our meal because she told us she was very busy. The feeling was one of a fast food place. Three hours of being there felt tiresome so we did not order coffee or desert. People who had arrived after us were having desert and coffee. The bad service, the unwelcoming waitress, ruined our pleasure. Will never go back. The fact that my complaint has been ignored by the owners shows a lack of caring for his clients. PS = The chef was good.
I’ve been in town for work for a few days and sadly leave tomorrow having only realized tonight how close I was to such an outstanding restaurant. I called ahead to request a takeout order and was so thankful that I was easily accommodated. I’m just an old bum in jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals but Ashley greeted me at the door by name and took excellent care of me. Elon was friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed the ambiance during the short time I was there. The food though… I’ve been to culinary school. I love to travel. I’ve eaten a lot of incredible food. First, the steak and frites. What can I say? The steak was grilled perfectly. So good. I have to say, the risotto balls were the best I’ve ever had, claiming the top spot from a little Italian eatery in Washington DC. The Truffle Mac and cheese was rich and creamy and the pasta was just the way I like it. Also the best I’ve ever had, knocking chef Michael Smith’s personally prepared mac and cheese out of the top spot. I’m admittedly a food snob but, tonight, I am full, happy, and content and will tell those who I worked with in Cornwall that they must eat here regularly. I hope to return soon and visit Chef, Ashley, and Elon again. This time for a dine-in experience though! Honestly, a delight. Well done.
We went on a Friday night to have a supper (2 girls night out). We had a great time. It’s a lovely restaurant. The ambience is great. Service is awesome by Rachel who gave us food recommendations. The food tastes delicious. I had the Risotto Balls as my appetizer. For my main meal I had shrimps linguine which is very good. We will come back again and try other foods. i would highly recommended this restaurant.
Delicious, fresh, amazing food. Lady that greeted us could have been a tiny bit less judgement as clearly she didn't think we belonged there. But our server was great, he had great customer service.
My siblings and I decided spur of the moment to find someplace to eat when visiting Cornwall. We drove to this restaurant without a reservation on a busy Saturday evening. The staff was very gracious and welcoming and found us a spot. Our server was as friendly and helpful as could be making great food and drink suggestions. Any staff walking by no matter where they worked would notice if our water was low or a plate need to be removed. The food was spectacular. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit there. My photos don’t do the food justice, I’m not a photographer but I highly recommend the peanut butter dumplings and crab cake appetizers. Filet mignon was great and the helping on the pasta dish was so generous it could easily be shared. If you have room for dessert, you definitely can’t go wrong with the crème brûlée.
What a lovely evening in your restaurants last night. We had the private room. Good company, great food, amazing service. Drinks, appies, main course was delicious. Love the atmosphere and beautiful decor. Overall, a 5 on 5. Thanks for a wonderful evening.. Special thanks to you, Mr Hai Tran, for great service. He was very professional, very presentable, and a beautiful smile .. All in all, a 5 on 5 on service and presentation. Thank you, Lynn Champagne
Fast food steak house! Made a reservation for a table of seven a month ago. When we sat down we are told by the waitress that we must leave the table in 1-1/2 hours. By the time we finished our main ( had no time for apps) staff comes to table to advise us that we had to leave. No time for coffee and desert menu was not even brought to us. Some of us drove an hour , very disappointing to spend 100.00 a head to be so rushed out. If you want to enjoy and evening out, this is not the place.
Best steak in town! Dave was great too. We ll be back.

Service was top notch and food was just great. Thank you for making this evening for us.
In an upscale restaurant I would expect a larger variety of premium vodkas, Kettle One or Belvedeer. The martinis are one the skimpy side and very pricey for the amount! Food
First time dining here with my daughter. A pre theatre meal. What a treat! Fine dining and then some! Exceptional food and service in a restaurant with great ambience. Beautiful and tasteful and a great atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back. Portions were very impressive and cannot fault anything at all. Would recommend this place without a doubt!
Having recently just moved to Cornwall from Toronto we were really looking forward to eating at Tauro, especially as a number of locals all recommend it. We had a 6:30pm reservation and arrived 10mins early. No hostess so we waited over 5mins before anyone acknowledged us and eventually showed us to our table. It was busy but by no means full. We waited over 30 mins, no waiter, no water, no service, yet other patrons who arrived after us got water, drinks etc. After 45mins we got up and walked out. The service was atrocious. Save your money and go to Casa Paolo s where they appreciate your business and work hard for it.
Disappointing.Service was decent. Steak undercooked and smothered in gravy that was not included on menu. TRUFFLE mac and cheese was a joke and was macaroni in cheese whiz with broiled motza on top. Cocktails were decent. Not worth $150 for 2 people splitting an appetizer 2 steaks 2 cocktails and no dessert. Vegetarian options: Only one choice on Wednesday ( burger night) beyond meat burger.
Loved the burger night on Wednesdays, highly recommend
Was a great place to celebrate
Embarking on a culinary pilgrimage from Montreal to Cornwall, I discovered Tauro Steakhouse, a gem that exceeded all expectations. This journey, driven by the allure of unique dining, led me to Chef Ahmads domain, where passion meets plate. The chef crafted a special meal that became the highlight of my visit; each bite was a revelation, a testament to the chefs mastery and creativity. Accompanying this culinary marvel was the Purple Reign cocktail, a concoction that danced on the palate, perfectly balancing spice and sweetness with a hint of ginger. Tauro isnt just a restaurant; its a destination for those in search of gastronomic delight. Chef Ahmad and his team elevate dining to an art form, making every meal a memorable experience. Whether youre a local or a traveler like myself, Tauro Steakhouse in Cornwall is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer tastes in life.

Delicious food and amazing service.
Good food and service was excellent! A little jazz music or live music would make it to notch!
Chef makes an excellent steak dinner! I highly recommend Tauro restaurant!
Best food in town if you are looking for fine dining. Steak there is the best ice ever had!
Food was good, lighting was a little too dark. Waitress wasn t super friendly but was with the other table for some reason. Guess if you don t give off rich vibes you get subpar attitude
Went back second time. Prices seemed to have increased two fold. You could eat at the ritz in montreal for half the price.
We had an amazing experience tonight at your resto. The food was amazing. Staff was friendly. We will certainly go back.
Service was so so, food was good, their beer was frozen over the holiday.
Excellent job!
Wonderful and delicious dinner - the filet mignon steak was cooked perfectly, and sides were excellent (recommend the spinach risotto and the seasonal veggies). The appetizers are larger portions, so bring your appetite! Great drinks selection, with smoked cocktails - they come with a glass lid for you to remove and enjoy the aroma with your beverage. If you are vegetarian, they have 1 entree option, and you can ask which appetizers or side are vegetarian-friendly. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, a great dinner experience! Vegetarian options: There was 1 vegetarian option on the menu - Coconut Curry Tofu with Basmati. Also came with a few vegetables on the side. Very delicious, and beautiful large portion.
Friendly Staff . Amazing Food
Amazing service and delicious food!
A culinary experience to be sure! Great food, comfortable atmosphere, and very friendly staff all added to the experience. I really enjoyed the oysters and the peanut butter dumplings, what a treat. Couldnt wait for the main course, and believe me, it was delightful. I gave it 5 stars all around because it really deserves it. If you want to impress your significant other and have an Haute Cuisine experience for a reasonable price, I highly recommend that you check this place out. Bon appetit
We drove from Montreal to Cornwall to eat at this gem .. Tauro What an incredible experience. The ambiance and the decor were out of this world and I truly enjoyed my martini lycees. Mostly, I loved the food prepared by Chef Ahmad .. What a taste! The dumplings / oysters / calamari were a great treat to start with .. My main course choice was the Surf & Turf with scalloped potatoes. A tender filet mignon and lobster tail. It was mouth watering and delicious .. We will return Parking: The parking was close to the entrance!
Very disappointed. The website is very deceiving. What is advertised is not what comes to the table. The food is poor quality, overcooked and underseasoned. Way overpriced. Not worth it at all. I wouldnt be surprised if this restaurant goes under within 6months.
Chef Ahmad hit it out of the park tonight! We had the tartar trio which was perfectly seasoned and a very generous portion, the seafood bisque was out of this world perfectly cooked shrimp and delicious scallops just to mention a few. The service and atmosphere were outstanding. Thank you so much Tauro what a gem.
Nice, beautiful, classy place with food cooked to perfection by Chef Ahmad. I love the atmosphere, and the super great friendly staff. All the reviews I ve read are 10/10 Anybody that would complain, obviously are doing it for attention only and to think they are better than anyone else. Try it for yourself. It s absolutely delicious. Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices for vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: If you re on a special diet, let chef Ahmad know before you go and he will make sure he cooks up something for your special needs. Kid-friendliness: My daughter went with her three kids, and had absolutely no problems at all, and everybody was happy and full bellies
The service was excellent, the menu has a great selection, tough to choose one dish. My escargot and Coquille St Jacques were delicious. I highly recommend Tauro. Dietary restrictions: I have no restrictions so I didn t pay attention. But I did hear everything can be made gluten free. Parking: Free, on site and plenty of space. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to enter and no steps inside the restaurant.
Great spot for a nice dinner out in Cornwall! All of the food we had was delicious! I highly recommend treating yourself to a nice meal here. The peanut butter dumplings were top notch! Absolutely order these. I had the chicken sanoma linguini and my partner had the surf and turf! Both were spectacular and we would happily order again!
Good service , nice atmosphere , the Prices are high. Trying to be a restaurant on the main strip in Miami on Brookdale avenue in Cornwall. Made our reservation , looked at their website and had no menu , should have suspected something was up. Told my cousin I was going and the first thing he said was $$$$$ take out your wallet. It was ti late already had reservations. Lol. I got had bigtime. Let s put it this way. You can drive to any Montreal restaurant , get better service , better food and save $100
Best steak Ive ever had! Everything we had was great
Had a wonderful steak dinner here. The service was great, the food was amazing and they had a great selection of delicious wine. Definitely recommend.
Amazing service!!! Amazing food!! Meal was excellent!! Great atmosphere!! Prices were more than fair for the high quality of food!! Will be back soon - Corey
Excellent restaurant. Service, food outstanding. Two had Coquille St-Jacques, one had a chicken salad dinner and one the Miso Glazed Black Cod. Appetizers of Calamari and five spice Mussels. All were great dishes. Price reasonable considering quality and service.
Incredible food, outdone only by the quality of the service. It s refreshing to find such a lively spot offering gourmet food in Cornwall. Pasta portions are more than generous and the crème brûlée is exceptional. You can tell this restaurant is owned and operated by people who take pride in their work. Thank you, Tauro!
Excellent cuisine and service was very pleasant
Absolutely incredible food, attentive staff and beautiful atmosphere! Well done!!
We had an exceptional experience at Tauro. I tend to be silently critical of restaurants because of my years involved in fine dining. Tauro was fantastic in all regards. Not only does the restaurant have amazing decor, it also gets the lighting quotient. The lights were dimmed, candles were lit, and the mood was properly set. The server was fantastic and took the time that was needed to properly take care of our table. On the food note, everything that I ordered was top notch. It is hard to find good lamb shank, but this restaurant not only provided it, but cooked to perfection. Everybody in our group of eight was extremely satisfied. We will be back again, and again.
Didn t try the food as I came in for drinks. Really nice and cozy vibe in this restaurant!!! Loved the good music and outstanding service ! Service
