Review Summary

Overall, Sotto by Soubois is praised for fresh, flavorful Italian inspired dishes and a lively atmosphere, with standout mentions of octopus, Rockefeller oysters and Cajun oysters, a rich risotto, and branzino, plus memorable cocktails like a dirty gin martini; the service is described as attentive and the vibes as top notch, and many say they would return for birthdays or celebrations, noting the experience can be excellent when the kitchen and staff are dialed in. On Valentine’s Day, however, experiences are described as disappointing due to long wait times, a bread change mishap, delayed octopus, overcooked branzino and undercooked pasta, plus a rude moment from a server and an incorrect extra charge, signaling room for improvement in consistency and professionalism; overall the restaurant is viewed as a strong Montreal option, delivering quality food, flavorful portions, and a warm, festive ambiance.

We went for Valentine's Day to Sotto for the first time & our experience was not good unfortunately. First of all, took 1:30hrs to receive our food, then the waitress come to me & tell me we don't have focaccia anymore so we will offer you garlic bread I said no problem. Then she came back & gave us the foccacia finally. Focaccia was good honestly I don't have anything bad to say about it. We ordered branzino with the risotto. It was good but the branzino was overcooked, practically all burned :/ but we still managed to eat some of it. My partner ordered pasta, pasta was hard not cooked at all. Then the waitress forgot our octopus & when I told her about it she gave my a dirty look & was super rude.. we finally had our octopus & it was good ( thank god). Then at the end we look at the bill & she charged us 4 rockerfeller & we never ordered any rockerfeller so we were upset to pay extra 40$ for nothing. Honestly the restaurant is not that bad it's just the service that sucks & the waitress all have attitude for nothing & needs more professionalism. The owner was screaming at some busboy but he should focus more on the kitchen side since our food & service was bad.
