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.

Super belle soirée mais un peu trop de pression pour les achats de bouteille

Thank you for getting us a table even tho we arrived abitt late because of the road closures in mtl. We thought our night was gonna be ruined especially for a first time going out after 3 months. Being a regular Saturday goer Santos is a number 1 spot for us. Love you Danny, Kristel, Paul & Chino

La nourriture était bonne, la musique aussi, le service... pas au même niveau.
Dès le moment qu'on avait été désignés à notre table, la serveuse était sans intérêt de faire son travail, même pas des verre d'eau, j'ai dû demander à un autre employé, mon verre du cocktail était brisé & là serveuse me regardait mal quand je lui ai demandé de le changer.
C'est compréhensible que vous gérez un club & un restaurant, mais peut-être embaucher des gens plus charismatiques envers vos clients? PLUS polis?
Merci.

Je suis allé a ce restaurant avec des amies touristes pour leur montrer l'ambiance du vieux-port. Elles ont adoré la nourriture & l'ambiance.

Excellent service, food is amazing, great music! Always a blast.

Great music & food. But because we were over 8 people we had to pay 60$ for a fixed menu which doesn't always suit everyones budget. Big hiccup on their part as 20 people were supposed to meets after dinner & were never let in even though the lad who made the reservation told me there'd be no problem.

Nourriture fade & chère.
Le service est horrible. Les serveurs & serveuses ont de l'attitude. Les bouncers & le gérant devraient être virés. Aucun d'entre eux n'a appris ce qu'était le service a la clientèle.
Le propriétaire de cet endroit devrait sérieusement être plus impliqué & voir comment les clients sont réellement traités.
A éviter a tout prix!
Si vous voulez avoir un bon moment & cherchez un club avec de la musique latine allez a salsatheque !

Bel atmosphère des fêtes, bonne nourriture, mais trop dispendieux

Jan 1, 2020

Excellent. Les tapas étaient délicieuses & l'ambiance vraiment très bien avec de l'excellente musique. On n'est jamais déçu. A refaire absolument.
PS : la pieuvre moyenne mais tout le reste en particulier les crevettes croustillantes & les empanadas au homard : a tester :)
