The menu is highlighted for flavorful dishes and inventive cocktails, while some reviews mention slow or inconsistent service at peak times and portions that some feel are small for the prices.

The service here was disappointing. The waitress seemed upset about having a table of 19 & was consistently rude when responding to questions, behaving as if she owned the place. The food was mediocre, & the group service was awful. Given the price, I would recommend Escondite Drummond or Union instead, if you are looking for great drinks, food & service. However, the music was fantastic, & that's the main reason I would consider returning.

We've been on a Saturday night (girls night out) - only for the club. The music the ppl the ambiance is super nice ! I do suggest to come either early like 10-10:30 pm or.. 1 am.. otherwise a lot of ppl .. the restaurant / lounge is not that big, so the capacity can be reach out pretty quickly I do recommend to go there to dance ☺️ - very nice bouncers

Had a beer & calamari early in the night at Santos. Quite a nice & chill place for drinks & tapas. The tapas is not as varied as you would normally see in a Spanish bar, & the prices are definitely on the upper range. The staff are kind & the whole vibe is comfy. Music is not bad. I'll have to visit more to get a better sense of this place at different times of the night.

L'ambiance était géniale, le dj est vraiment incroyable j'ai adoré l'ambiance de la soirée & les choix de music. Le seul truc négatif c'etait la gastronomie. Trop peu de choix dans le menu. Au moins proposer des burger ou shawarma
