Taris on the Water in Welland

Totally worth an experience! What a beautiful place to dine in! We had our anniversary dinner in a dome, and each and every thing was amazing! Thank you for the amazing experience.

great service...great food....

A wonderful setting, courteous waitress and Wow factor delicious meals!! We will return! Vegetarian options: Beautiful handmade falafel in the Welland bowl! Highly recommend. Wheelchair accessibility: Small Parking lot out back so need to walk around building. Bathroom on main floor. There is a back exit that accommodates wheelchair access.

We ve been to this wonderful restaurant several times, I would rate the food and service 10 stars if I could. Our latest visit was for Easter Brunch and once again we were wowed. My wife had the Breakfast Burger and I had the Lobster Eggs Benny which were both amazing meals. If you ve never been to Taris I highly recommend that you do!

Nice spot on the river. Server was great! Wish I got her name...joked with us the whole time. Fast service. Great food. Park around the back. Food

Our first time here and it was so lovely! Enjoyed the patio seating & having drinks. Our server was very nice and checked up on us a few times. Our food was amazingly well portioned especially the crispy Brussels sprouts. My husband isn t a huge fan of Brussels sprouts but he enjoyed them with added on bacon! The pork schnitzel was so good. Very large portion! Would definitely come back! Parking: A good amount of spots for parking Wheelchair accessibility: There s a ramp if your park in the back to go in the restaurant.

food was good but $7 for two pieces of shrimp is a little much

Parking: Small parking area at back and extra parking across the road. Kid-friendliness: Not much on the menu for kids but Im sure their burgers or fish and chips would be an option. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy entry for a wheelchair, room to move.

We had a great meal, terrific patio and excellent service. Ideal location and great place for a meal !

Not bad.

What happened to Taris, crowded, noisy, smaller menu on crinkled plastic, mediocre food...not good, not been there for a few years. Maybe it why building is for sale, maybe restaurant too!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Wonderful to have in town right near the canal.

Excellent food and service. The best restaurant in Welland

Nice spot. Patio overlooking canal. Food was great as well as service.

I had very high expectations of the place, it caught my attention when I saw it because of its beautiful view of the canal. However it was disappointing. Since we arrived, the person who greeted us had a stiff and bad-tempered face. Afterwards, he snatched the menu from my 4-year-old daughters hands in his understanding that she couldnt order something, but even so they are not polite. The food is tasteless, and the cost is high for what they serve. For that cost I recommend any other restaurant in the vineyard area, Niagara on the like, or even lakehouse. Dont waste the opportunity to try a craft beer, a good wine, or a delicious meal somewhere else. Not everything that glitters is gold, on the outside it looks attractive, on the inside there is nothing nice to offer.

Great food and service by Karen. Had a delicious stuffed chicken with potatoes and veggies on the side. Highly recommend.

We had lunch at Taris and ordered the Mussels. Both orders were a very poor quality and the mussels were soft and muchy. I was unable to eat mine and my friend had a few of hers. We were not offered any compensation which we were really surprised at. All previous visits had been good.

We were celebrating a baby shower and it was wonderful

Rode here with 8 friends along Welland canal from Lock Seven for dinner. Lovely location, excellent food, and really great bright service. Will certainly return here.

Met here for dinner with friends and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food was excellent. I had the Fruitte de mare, essentially seafood spaghetti, and the scallops were perfectly cooked. We finished with amazing desserts. The service was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was perfect. Sitting outside is recommended, looking over the old canal. We will definitely return.

Fine dine, delicious steak

Totally loved this place and would go again for sure when in welland.

Found a hair in my entree. What a disappointment.

Will definitely be back

Nice patio on the water. Not much parking. Fish tacos were pretty good, fries were excellent and the burger with egg & bacon on was tasty. Food : 4/5

Love the setting!! Great server....very attentive and well informed. I had the Asian food bowl, which I thought was a very good portion size. However, I wouldnt say the same of my husbands fish tacos. It looked a little skimpy. Loved the music. Overall, a positive experience and will probably be back. Only negative is the limited parking in the back.

Beautiful location and view. The food was delicious! I had an excellent burger. We sat on the terrace in the shade and had a wonderful lunch. Our waitperson was prompt and friendly and had a great sense of humor!

Celebrated my mothers 80th surprise birthday party at Taris on the Water. I cant say enough about what a wonderful experience we all had. Karen, our server, was absolutely wonderful and went the extra mile to decorate our whole table with our party supplies before anyone got there. Karen was very attentive to all of our needs and couldnt have asked for a better server. The food was unbelievably delicious. Hats off to the chefs. I cant begin to reccomend food as we all loved every dish we had but I would definitely go back just for the appetizer of Brussels sprouts. Wow they were beyond amazing. Thank you again to Karen and everyone at Taris on the Water for such an amazing birthday celebration for my mother

What I ordered was not what I expected. I should have asked more questions, perhaps? The fish tacos..the fish was not the normal kind of fish uses...I did not taste like the look or taste of it.

Food was amazing! Had the steak and burger with the lava cake and cream-brule. Really good food with even better view! Parking: There are only about 8 spots total and you can easily get blocked in, especially that the parking backs onto super busy street.

A win win

Patio is gorgeous!! a little pricey but its totally worth it. boyfriend and I got the burgers for lunch and they were so big and so good! fresh ingredients for sure! our waitress was awesome. definitely will be our new date spot.

I didnt enjoy the food and the restaurant did not care or tried to learn from it.

My husband made reservations for the two of us to celebrate my birthday. It was our first time here. The entire experience was outstanding! I had the beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection! My husband had the chicken supreme which he said was delicious. Both entrees were seasoned perfectly. The potato leek soup was also one of the best soups we ve had. Thank you, Taris, for a wonderful end to my already perfect day. We will be back. Parking: We went for a 5:00 dinner and had no issues finding a parking spot.

I was there for lunch yesterday with my sister. We both ordered the fish and frites. Was impressed with the fish. So crispy and not greasy until I cut into it. Mostly mush! Instead of the flaky fish I was expecting it was very very mushy and was unpleasant texture in my mouth. Later my sister told me hers was the same she just didnt want to complain because I was treating her and she didnt want to seem ungrateful. Then I went to the hairdresser this morning and mentioned I had been and she told me she had the same thing happen when she went. I dont think I will be back.

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Staff are fantastic. Love the cocktails!

Amazing views, great staff, very clean washrooms. Overpriced drinks and the fish tacos were terrible. Bland and lacked flavour. The food menu is also underwhelming.

Excelente services, the food was very good most defetnatly will ho there again

Outstanding dinner and staff

Very expensive for the average person but beautiful

Wonderful atmosphere and nice music took me in the centre of Europe. Tasty food, cool Prosecco what can be better on Saturday evening? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Filet Mignon was extremely salty....veggies were not cooked.....cooks in kitchen were horsen around......waited 40 minutes for my filet.....TV in bar was not working....the POS system broke down..... place was not clean......needs a revamp and friendlier employees........

The best italian I have ever had by far. Great ambience and service. Thank you!

Love the atmosphere and the food was delicious. Definitely on the pricier side but perfect for special occasions.

Food was amazing as was the service. For a great dining experience go to TARIS ON THE WATER. It was our first time there and definitely will return Thank you Rachel and Michelle for making our special day amazing

Thank you so much to the staff for hosting us to celebrate a special anniversary. They were amazingly attentive to detail, service was perfectly timed and the food was amazing. The Korean Chicken bowl, Fish Tacos and Down and Dirty burger are all highly recommended!

Wow.....we arent picky eaters by any stretch but, this was disgusting! The lobster dip tasted how I would assume cat food tastes, the escargot, on the other hand, barely had any taste at all, and the salad we choose, something that contained tomatoes, yet not worthy of remembering what it was called, was manageable if you just ate the tomatoes and lettuce. The little crustinies, well, dont try those if youre not prepared to break a tooth! And the price.....crazy for what you get. If we could give negative stars, we would. Terrible!!!

Been to this place a few times and it was always a pleasure to visit. Food amazing, staff amazing and the ambiance is totally amazing. I am actually leaving this review as I heard the restaurant is closing down and I just want to wish them all the best for their future. Thanks again for the amazing memories of Welland! Parking: Parking behind resturant or close by on the streets.

Place looks great online. Not sure if they went out of business? No info. Tried going was closed. Nothing on social media advising of closing either

Such an amazing place with great food and drinks with stunning views of the bridge and canal. Highly recommend!

Its 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!

Amazing food and PERFECT service!

The food is always fantastic. Id 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 wouldnt 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 dont seat an hour before the kitchen closes.

I was born and raised in Welland and went back after ten years for a reunion dinner with friends. The food way exceeded my expectations. I had the fried chicken and fries and a couple of margaritas. I loved the outdoor igloo experience. A must see.

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

Nice experience dining on the patio in a clear dome.

Great location. Nice decor. Food was disappointing. Bland

Great little place overlooking the water. Friendly staff and great food. The butternut ravioli were delicious as well as the caesar salad. Very nice place would recommend and definately go again. Went for a birthday lunch

Amazing restaurant with great friendly staff. Food was spectacular as was the service. Family absolutely enjoyed the experience. Love the domes!!!

Beautiful atmosphere and good food.

Had an incredible dining experience here. The food is incredible. Everything is very fresh and unique. For a fancier place, the prices are also very fair. I highly recommend!

Michelle was an amazing waitress! Sadly she had to deal with 6 loud mouth Italians but she was a good sport about it! Thanks again Michelle you rock!

The staff was very friendly and greeted us upon entry. I know the chef and he consistently provides delicious and inventive dishes. The bar staff allowed ordering drinks off-menu (ordered the espresso martini). The view of the old Welland canal creates nice ambience when dining on the patio. Parking can be confusing as it is located off Niagara Street behind the building (FYI).

Food was exquisite- soft shell crab was delicious- service was great

Good service

Beautiful patio & lunch options. I enjoyed salmon on orzo with veg and the service team whipped up an iced green tea (not on menu) for me. Lovely!

Absolutely amazing , food is awesome, great staff

The atmosphere was great, our server Karen was fantastic. However, 2 of us ordered the beef tenderloin, medium rare, but they came out well done (this is a $45 plate). Unfortunately, we had to send them back, when we got the new ones they were both medium. At that point, we just ate them anyway, they tasted good, but would have been much better if they were as we had requested, after being asked how we wanted them.

Thank you to the staff at Taris, amazing afternoon at your restaurant. The event at my fathers reception was outstanding. The food was amazing so thanks to the chefs. Special thanks to Justin for organizing this. My wife s side of the family really enjoyed the food and venue and said they are coming for dinner on their own sometime.

Tl;Dr: great service, good food, lovely location, recommended visit. Recently had a special family event at this restaurant, the service staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on all products as well as Extremely accommodating for my young daughter as this was a large family gathering, by preparing special meal options to suit a toddlers pallette. Food for the event was fantastic, with a large amount prepared. Selection of drinks and food was great, and I especially enjoyed the locally brewed beer. Restaurant is located on the riverfront, and has easy access for a walking path/park for better water viewing. Recommended for families, business meetings, and romantic dinners.

This place is spectacular! Justin the manager was fantastic. He and the other staff were calm and attentive despite what was obviously a very busy Wednesday evening. I only had the Calamari which was cooked perfectly. I also tried the Salmon wrapped Shrimp which was smokey and wonderful. They even had music (Jeff Beadle) which was a perfect addition to the terrace, water and historic setting. What a stellar culinary experience. This place is an absolute gem!! Dont think a out it. Go there!

Great place and so nice sitting on the old canal

My family and I had a delightful experience at Taris on the Water. The servers, interior design, and music was just amazing. We sat within the outdoor seating area; the view of the bridge was beautiful. I recommend the fried chicken and the flourless chocolate cake. If we ever come back to Canada, this is a restaurant we will return to.

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.

Food and service was excellent

Such a great place! Patio is awesome. Food and service were excellent!

Lovely outdoor seating next to Welland Canal

Delicious. Great atmosphere. Try the raspberry mojito.

Wonderful food, amazing service and a calming beautiful view of the canal. Will be suggesting to all and returning again!

Great place but the main courses are mediocre

Amazing as always Super fun atmosphere by the water Staff is absolutely awesome

Dietary restrictions: Best flour rree chocolate cake!

Very beautiful view, and the Toms burger is amazing. Staff is very polite and friendly. We sat outdoors and as it got darker outside the vibe changed to something so much better. The lighting they have, paired with the lights from the bridge just brings the experience to a new level. Highly recommended going here. Vegetarian options: Vegan options Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options.

Imaginative and tasty fish and seafood dishes. Little touches from the kitchen made for excellent flavors.

Had dinner on the patio on Saturday, couples night out. Ive said it before and Ill 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. Well be back soon! Updated Aug 2022. Have been back multiple times and this is still the best place to have a nice lunch or dinner in Welland.

Very enjoyable. Nice plate display especially the dessert.

Excellent experience. The food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient. Nice outdoor seating overlooking the canal. The seating indoors was beautiful and would be a great place to dine for a special occasion. We will definitely return for another visit. Parking: The restaurant has parking in back. Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are not wheelchair accessible. The washrooms are in the basement of the restaurant.

Lovely location looking over the old Welland Canal. Lovely food, no details everything on the menu looked great. Lovely service, she was always there when needed without hovering or intruding. It was just a lovely romantic dinner.

The atmosphere was beautiful, meal was excellent and Justin was fantastic. I will recommend your place to anyone passing through Welland.

Meh Super slow service even though we went to Saturday dinner and went with expectations of slow service. From sitting down to ordering was 30 mins From ordering to food coming was 55 minutes. We entered at 8pm, food came at 923pm. Food quality was MEH, nothing out of the world for the price. But we may just be comparing with GTA qualities. Servers were very few and they looked tired and worn out. Kitchen staff seemed overwhelmed They were all very polite but could not explained much to why insane delays. The patio area ppl were equally frustrated and were vocal about it.

Very kind waitress, their specialty burger is very good! The fries however could be better. The view from the terrace is really nice and peaceful.

Such a awesome place. My wife even knew one of the servers. Will def be coming back.

I ordered the chicken Supreme, was nothing close to Supreme i paid 28$ for this so called meal, 96% of the plate was this yellow stuff I got 2 potatoes and 3 beans and a chicken wing with 1 bite of meat this is not fine dining this is a meal you give your dog after you are done with your plate at the dinner table for being a good boy , the soup kitchens in welland gives better looking meals for free.

Beautiful place on Welland with good food and great people.

By far best restaurant in Welland and arguably in the Niagara region. Heard good things about the place and still exceeded my expectations.

I love this place for their patio overlooking the river. My guests loved it for the food and the service as well. Calamaries appetizer was the best we ever eate.

I dont know whats in the burger but it melted in my mouth, ill have a hard time ordering anything else when I go back.

I didnt eat there yet; was giving a tour & just took a menu and checked out the location. It was beautiful inside and out. The folk on the water looked totally happy having a meal on the waterfront experience but inside the restaurant would have been a pleasure too! Its definitely a go to experience for Welland!

Everything great except for the hidden automatic 20% tip

I was here 3 months ago for lunch and it was awesome. Returned for a wedding reception and it was even better. Fantastic food, great location and amazing staff.

Attended a wedding here over the weekend. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was some of the most delicious vegetarian food I ve ever had. The dirty martinis were excellent and the view of the canal was extraordinary. Taris definitely made it a top tier experience for everybody at the wedding. I ll definitely be back for dinner! Thank you to the team for all your hard work, it definitely did not go unnoticed. I appreciate you making my friend s day super special and one for the books!

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great service (Rachel). Definitely return.

I was at Taris for a private family wedding. The restaurant was set up beautifully on the patio. The service/staff was exceptional and the food was fantastic. Thank you for making the evening a wonderful experience.

Excellent service, delicious food and the presentation was first class. Highly recommended . .

Timely and attentive service, great burger, pleasant atmosphere!!

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

Highly recommend this place for their unique food quality and experience

Loved it, friendly staff.

Excellent food and canal view. Service is good and friendly

No concerns with the food & quality of the place but a disappointment when it comes to a (hidden) mandatory gratuity if dining in Igloo. Firstly, you have to spend a minimum of CAD 150 which seems to be decent for such dining (Which was informed well in advance) and then top of that they will add 18% gratuity by themselves (When they get the bill) so technically if you spending CAD 400 bucks on that table, you have to put in almost CAD 72 extra which does not seems to be fair as tipping percent or amount should be the whole sole right of the customer and not the staff, apart from that it was not even informed to us about the gratuity thing when we had made the reservation. I had a made a couple of reservations for my visiting family in December, but it does not seem to be worth it and instead would prefer visiting Canoe or BlueBood steak house.

Incredible food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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 werent cleared. Im sure it will take some time for everyone to get up to speed. Nice patio along the canal in Welland.

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.

Excellent food. Decent prices...great views

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

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

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

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

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!!

Very nice staff and the prices werent to bad for Covid times.

The restaurant serve great foods and the places are nice.

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

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.

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

Delicious food Great service

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

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

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

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

great food and service today

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.

Delicious food, lovely patio with heaters, and friendly staff!

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.

Great food and service

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

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.

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

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!

Service was excellent!!!! Food was very good as well. Ill definitely return :)

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!

Beautiful patio on the canal, good food, great service.

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. Wouldnt 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 wasnt up my alley for sure. If you go, it wont be for the food! View only.

Beautiful location and great food

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

Food was great and various desserts our wonderful server Debbie brought for us was just exceptional. Thank you for helping us celebrate a special day.

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!!

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

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.

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

Great food

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!

Delicious food and excellent service.

Amazing views. Great food.

Atlantic Salmon was amazing!

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.

Amazing !!!! We dinned in an igloo and shared a charcuterie board. Had salmon and filet mignon for mains.....absolutly amazing coming back fur sure !!!

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 wont 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!

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. Im a regular on their patio in the summer, and Ill be checking out the igloos this winter. Thanks Taris!

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.

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

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!
