My experience at Santos was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming. A special mention goes to Geneviève, the manager, whose professionalism, warmth, & attention to detail truly stood out. Her incredible service made the entire experience unforgettable - she went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Santos is definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for great vibes, amazing food, & outstanding service.
The bouncers were also extremely respectful & friendly, creating a safe & comfortable environment for everyone. Santos is a place where you feel valued, well taken care of, & guaranteed to have an amazing time.

Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servis par Gen, dont les recommandations ont été parfaites du début à la fin.
Chaque plat était un véritable délice : le ceviche de crevettes, frais & raffiné ; le tuna tartare en tacos, plein de saveurs ; la lobster pasta & sans oublier le picanha steak & sa sauce exceptionnelle.
Les crevettes croustillantes & le guacamole complétaient parfaitement ce repas mémorable.
Un grand merci à la magnifique Gen, dont l'attention & les conseils ont sublimé notre expérience.

Je viens à Santos régulièrement autant durant les heures d'ouvertures que durant le club!
L'ambiance est toujours bonne.
Les jeudi huîtres à 1,50$ est un incontournable & leur nouveau menu est insane !!
Le staff & la gérante gen sont toujours très accueillant!

I do not recommend this place; they do not know the difference between a michelada beer & a Bloody Caesar.

Je suis aller à Santos samedi passer & franchement ça faisais longtemps je m'étais amuser comme ça. Nous étions 8 & avons pris le menu groupe qui en valais la peine, 3 service & tout était goûteux. La serveuse était à notre écoute, drôle & amicale. Après nous sommes rester pour le club & nous avons danser & chanter toute la soirée. Nous avons garder une table & pris 2 bouteilles s'était vraiment fun. Je recommande

Super expérience au Santos ! La musique était excellente, avec une ambiance vraiment entraînante qui mettait tout le monde de bonne humeur. Le staff était accueillant, professionnel & très sympathique. Franchement, entre le bon son, l'ambiance festive & le service au top, j'ai passé une très bonne soirée. Je recommande sans hésiter !

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 !

Always packed! Been there a couple of times & the djays are usually really good & read the room well. Only criticism would be the weird layout of tables in the middle of the club, it always leads to tension & people pushing each other. Just put them upstairs & leave the dance floor clear for us to dance My place of choice if I want to have a good time I recommend it !!

Honestly, this bar is amazing. Max, one of the staff members, was very attentive & offered us fantastic recommendations for activities & places to visit in the city. Thanks to his suggestions, we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The atmosphere of the bar is great, & the drinks are delicious. The food surprised me; it's of a really high standard! I will definitely return & recommend this place to my friends!
