Review Summary

Santos Tapas Bar is widely recognized as a vibrant destination in the Old Port of Montreal, celebrated for its electric atmosphere, energetic music, and chic décor. Many guests praise the establishment as an ideal spot for social gatherings, girls nights, and bachelor parties, noting that it successfully transitions from a lively restaurant to a fun dance venue late at night. While the majority of reviews highlight exceptional service from the attentive staff, delicious cocktails, and flavorful food offerings like the guacamole and seafood dishes, some visitors mention inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, pricing, and occasional service delays. Although the venue is highly recommended for its welcoming energy and professional team, a few patrons have raised concerns regarding facility maintenance, entry policies, and varying levels of attentiveness from certain staff members.

Nous avions réservé bien à l'avance pour un souper pour un groupe de 10 personnes. Lorsque nous sommes arrivées, on nous a donné la banquette où il ne rentrait certainement pas 10 personnes avec une table composée de 2 planches de bois étroites...Nous avons dû ajouter 2 chaises. Certaines d'entre nous avons mangé avec le plat dans les mains...Côté nourriture, c'est bon sans plus. J'aurais apprécié que les plats de tous soient tous servis en même temps vu qu'ils avaient été commandés ensemble, sauf qu'il y a eu des retards de 20 minutes entre leurs arrivés.(les tartares sont arrivés en dernier...) Les cocktails étaient bien. Somme toute, c'était bon, mais je n'y retournerai pas.

La nourriture était bonne mais je trouve que c'est légèrement «over-priced» pour ce que c'est...

Mon amie n'a pas trop aimé ce qu'elle a pris & le gérant lui a offert autre chose ce qui est gentil.

J'y suis allé une fois & c'était correct mais je n'y retournerais pas.

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

Nous sommes allées entre amies prendre un verre & manger & nous avons été agréablement surprises par le Santos. Nous avons commandé plusieurs tapas & une paella & nous avons adoré. Très simple, mais très bon. En plus, tous nos cocktails étaient délicieux. L'ambiance était super & le personnel chaleureux.

The food at this place was surprisingly good. We ordered abunch of things to share & I have to say everything was delicious. The calamari, the paella, & the beef ribs in particular were tasty. The ambiance of the place is perfect for the mid twenties to early thirties crowd. Nice decor, good music( lots of 90s music when we were there:). My only complaint was that the waitress was a bit awkward & & not as friendly as she should have been. She also kept interupting us every two seconds to ask if she could remove some of the platters which still had food in them which we thought was a bit rude because everyone was sharing & we were taking our time eating it(it was alot!). Othere than that thought, it was a great experience!
