Reviews of Santos Tapas Bar describe a vibrant Old Port venue that blends a chic, energetic dining scene with a late night club atmosphere, where the music, decor and overall vibe create memorable evenings for many guests. The menu is praised for fresh, tasty tapas and seafood and cocktails that are flavorful and well balanced, with the bar staff often noted for guiding guests through the menu and delivering well crafted drinks. At the same time several accounts highlight uneven service and long waits, especially for drinks or the bill, along with moments of disorganization, crowded seating and delays during peak hours. While the atmosphere and social energy are frequently celebrated, some diners feel portions are small or prices high relative to what is served. Safety and security concerns appear in a few reviews, including experiences with entry lines and bouncers that left some guests feeling uncomfortable, and a few comments about not feeling completely welcome. Overall Santos Tapas Bar emerges as a place that can offer excellent drinks, lively nights and high energy, but improvements in service consistency, seating logistics and safety would help ensure a standout experience for every guest.

Nous étions 7 dont 3 conducteurs & le manager sur place nous a dit c'était soit 2 bouteilles soit dehors! Eh bien je vous recommande le bar Furco ou nous avons le reste de notre magnifique soirée.

My husband, daughter & I visited Montreal for 4 nights & had our last night's meal at Santos. We had a great table right by the window, the food & drinks were amazing as was the service & the music. We would recommend this as a for sure to go to in Old Montreal.

Je ne vous recommandé pas la place pour la nourriture sans goût & des plats minuscules que même la serveuse était gênée des portions. Ambiance ok mais vraiment déçue avec la nourriture.

Le service laisse sérieusement à désirer, la serveuse qu'on a eu était dans les nuages & le gérant n'a aucune bienséance! La nourriture est mangeable mais il n'y a vraiment pas de quoi s'extasier vu le prix que ça coûte!!!! En ce qui concerne la boisson, les prix affichés sur la carte doublent pratiquement à partir de 23h (& c'est le gérant qui vient l'annoncer car il doit "rentabiliser les 250 places de son resto & certains sont prêts à payer jusqu'à 1000$". Donc soit vous acceptez la surcharge soit vous partez)
Bref je ne recommande pas cet endroit à quelqu'un

Je suis allee y prendre un verre au printemps dernier à l'apéro. C'était un vendredi soir, le service était vraiment mauvais. Ça a pris une éternité avant d'avoir notre premier cocktail, encore plus avant d'avoir notre premier tapas...mais pourtant le resto n'était pas bondé du tout & il y avait beaucoup de personnel. Nous avons tout de meme recommande un autre verre, mais après 30 minutes sans l'avoir le serveur est venu nous donner l'addition (pourtant nous étions prêts à prendre davantage de tapas). Le tapas & le.drink étaient bons, sans plus
