Belle ambiance en début de soirée pour souper.. Bonne musique old school R'n'B & bon service!! Portions très petites & repas assez dispendieux, mais quand même bon. Par contre, on avait faim 2h plus tard.... Les prix des cocktails étaient beaucoup trop chers mais c'est le prix à payer si tu sors au Vieux-Port j'imagine..... Faut être riche pour sortir à MTL! ; ) Au prix que cette sortie de début de soirée nous a coûté, on aurait espéré sortir de là bien bourrées & un peu plus pompettes LOL

GROS point négatif...... la NON-propreté des toilettes.... DÉGEULASSE... à 18h le soir... je ne peux pas imaginer en fin de soirée.... vrm ordinaire & franchement répugnant....

Avec toute la panoplie de restos au Vieux, je ne pense pas y retourner.....

The vibes, the cocktails, the food… but most importantly the service!!!
Gen is the BEST! She helped us with everything from start to finish, the service was friendly, attentive & welcoming. I can safely say she made us the best margaritas in Montreal.
Santos is a coup de coeur, the dancing after was the best! Big thanks for the great night!!!

Je ne recommande pas le forfait groupe 3 service , plat à partager portion petites & mal divisé (un morceau de lime pour 4 personne qu'on devait partager ) , le riz du sushi était à moitié cru , le reste de la nourriture était pas wow , on a attendu 40 minutes pour le deuxième service puis l'ambiance boff ils jouaient les mêmes 5 musique de 2014-2015 à répétition tout le long , le dj refuse les demande de chansons aussi. On est parti plus tôt que prévu

Ah & un cocktail de genre 30 ml c'est 20$

Les employés sont gentils.

Le restaurant Santos est un endroit qui mérite d'être découvert. Dès notre arrivée, l'atmosphère chaleureuse & accueillante nous a immédiatement mis à l'aise. Les plats étaient savoureux, mettant en avant des ingrédients frais & de qualité, le tout servi avec une présentation impeccable.

Cependant, ce qui a vraiment marqué notre expérience, c'est le service exceptionnel du barman Max. Avec son sourire contagieux & son professionnalisme, il a su rendre notre soirée mémorable. Non seulement il a préparé des cocktails exquis, mais il a également pris le temps de discuter avec nous, nous recommandant des boissons en fonction de nos goûts. Sa passion pour son métier est palpable, & son attention aux détails a fait toute la différence.

Nous avons hâte de revenir pour savourer à nouveau ces moments inoubliables !
