VERY disappointing experience. DO NOT recommend.
My friends & I visited Kenza Lounge on Friday January 9 & the experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived... The bouncer's attitude was genuinely unacceptable, rude, dismissive, & acting as if he owned the place. Even once inside, the receptionist did not acknowledge us at all. She did not ask if we had a reservation, did not greet us, & literally ignored us for about five minutes while standing right in front of us, then walked away to do something else without saying a word. We were not even brought to our table by staff.. we had to ask a friend who was already inside to guide us to our table!!! This is completely unprofessional & set an even worse tone from the beginning.
Inside, the music was so loud that even the waitress could not hear us. I understand it is a lounge, but staff still need to be able to communicate with their clients!! Turning the volume down slightly would not ruin the vibe & it would make the service actually workable & more enjoyable!
The state of the bathrooms was another major issue. When we arrived, both toilets were clogged & overflowing with water, urine, & toilet paper. It was extremely unhygienic & honestly disgusting!! An employee was notified immediately yet it still took more than half an hour for anything to get done.
Overall, this was a very poor & underwhelming visit for a place that actually looks nice inside. The attitude of the bouncer, the receptionist ignoring us, the unbearable music volume, & the poorly maintained bathrooms completely ruined the night. I will not be coming back & I do not recommend this place to anyone expecting DECENT service or basic cleanliness… please do better.

Dj Max nous a fait vivre une ambiance inédite à Montreal. Je recommande vivement ! Sachez juste que c'est un lounge class, préparez-vous en conséquence.

Première fois que je visite ce resto-lounge à Montréal. À première vue, l'endroit est beau, mais les places assises ne sont pas très confortables. Quand j'ai demandé une meilleure chaise que celle qui ressemblait à une vieille chaise de salle d'attente, on m'a répondu qu'ils ne pouvaient pas, car c'était une chaise d'une autre table - qui, soit dit en passant, n'a jamais été utilisée.
Ensuite, quand j'ai demandé à la serveuse combien coûtait la shisha, elle m'a dit environ 55 avec taxes & pourboire. J'ai été surpris par le prix - je me suis dit que c'était sûrement à cause de l'emplacement, parce que 55 pour une shisha, c'est quand même exagéré. Au moins, la shisha était bonne.
Au final, j'ai payé 90 $ pour une shisha & deux Aperol Spritz. La shisha était à 35 $ avant taxes & pourboire, mais j'imagine que la serveuse s'est calculé un pourboire de 15 $.
Bref, ça ne vaut pas vraiment la peine d'y aller. Je n'y retournerai pas, sauf si je n'ai pas trop le choix.
