ORIGINS OF SANTOS
All the streets in Old Montreal are named after saints. Located on the corner of Saint Paul and Saint François Xavier and given that the food served is Spanish, it was only natural to name place "Saints" in Spanish.

Cette place ont toujours de très bonnes chansons! PARCONTRE!!! On est en sueur après quelques minutes. Il y a des " air clim " mais on ne sent AUCUNEMENT leurs fonctionnement. Laisser une porte ouverte aurait pu faire une différence!View more

Excellent food, drinks & service, I can say unequivocally that this establishment throws it down like none other, water & booze is flowing like the Nile, olive dish has a nice kick to it, I've never left a google review so that says a lot, as an E list celebrity I give my full endorsement to Santos & Co, bring youry wives & husbands, your sons & daughters, I drank a lot of beer & things are looking up. Big shout out to Natalia, Diane, & Valantine.View more

Le Santos m'a été recommandé par un des mes amis pour mon anniversaire. C'était la première fois que j'y allais. Nous étions un groupe de 7 personnes. Le service était lent & désorganisé. La serveuse avait l'air débordée. La nourriture nous a été servie de manière saccadée, c'est-à-dire un plat après l'autre avec plusieurs minutes d'attente entre leur arrivés. La nourriture était moyenne. Certains plats n'avaient pas ou très peu d'assaisonnement. Nous étions déçues considérant que c'est un restaurant mexicain. De plus, plusieurs plats n'étaient pas disponible, ce qui était dommage & diminuait considérablement le menu qui offre déjà très peu de choix. Cela a pris une éternité afin de recevoir notre facture & de pouvoir la payer. Par la suite, nous sommes descendues au premier étage lorsque le restaurant s'est transformé en club. Nous avons commandé une bouteille de champagne. La serveuse nous a garanti que nous pouvions avoir une table suite à notre commande. Du à leur manque d'organisation, toutes les tables étaient déjà prises. L'une des choses qui valait la peine était le dj. Il a su mettre l'ambiance malgré ce fiasco.View more

Went there for the first time & the atmosphere was awesome. The deejays are top. Really awesome vibe. Nice people. I just felt uncomfortable with the bartender's attitude regarding the tip. I ordered two drinks, & was planning to order more drinks, so I didn't tip the first two. The bartender simply gave me another bill with the amount of the tip that he thought that I should've have paid. I would have preferred if he kindly explained to me that tips are mandatory. I would have paid & apologized with no problems. I don't like trouble. But his attitude & the audacity to put his own amount of tip just really made me angry, specially because he didn't even prepared my drink properly. The drinks had more ice than anything!!! & when I paid the way he looked at me like " that's what I thought bi*ch"....just made me not want to go back there again!View more

The attitudes of the waitresses completely kill the vibe. One in particular was dismissive & condescending towards my dad & he did nothing to warrant such treatment. The attitude of that waitress through the entire experience was so unbelievable it was funny. After having waited for 6 oysters to arrive for at least 45 minutes & having finished our drinks, we decided to just leave. The manager was really sweet though. He apologised & gave us a discount which we appreciated. It's not the end of the world but I just wouldn't recommend going here.View more

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.View more
