Review Summary

Soubois offers a multifaceted experience that balances high quality dining with a lively, club-like atmosphere. Many guests praise the delicious menu, particularly the lobster spaghetti and various appetizers, though some note inconsistency in service, food preparation, and limited accommodations for allergies. While the ambiance is frequently described as energetic and sophisticated, the transition from restaurant to nightclub can lead to issues with crowding, noise levels, and ventilation. Opinions on the staff are polarized, with some visitors commending the attentive and professional service while others report unprofessional interactions and poor organization. Overall, the establishment remains a popular destination for those seeking a vibrant night out in Montreal, though expectations regarding pricing and crowd demographics should be managed.

Expérience des plus désagréable !!!
Expérience des plus désagréable !!!

Nous avions une réservation pour 5 personnes à 20h30 sans que quiconque nous mentionne que nous devions quitter pour 23h00.
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons immédiatement senti la pression du personnel d'en finir avec nous au plus vite?
L'apéritif à peine terminé, le stress est monté d'un cran, le personnel nous pressant avec insistance de placer nos commandes, à peine avions nous reçu nos entrées, le va & vient incessant des serveurs à débuté, insistant pour ramasser les assiettes en nous suggérant de terminer au plus vite?
À l'arrivé des plats principaux, (tous un peu fades mais corrects sans plus) le balais incessant des serveurs à recommencé, comme si une course contre la montre était engagée.
C'est avant même avoir eu le temps de terminer nos plats principaux que le niveau de stress à atteint son paroxysme vers 22h00, quand la serveuse nous a de nouveau pressé de commander nos desserts en nous apportant immédiatement la facture & nous soulignant au passage que nous devions quitter rapidement puisque la table était réservée pour 23h00 !
C'est donc avant même avoir reçu nos desserts que nous nous sommes fait presser de payer la facture de plus de 600$.
Après avoir payé & avoir fait part de notre très mauvaise expérience au gérant (qui s'en fouettait complément), nous avons quitté ce sinistre endroit vers 22h30, tous stressé en nous promettant de ne plus jamais y remettre les pieds !

Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys poor service & not getting their money's worth. Portion size were ridiculously small. Wait times were horrible as we waited 45 minutes for a bottle of wine & 2h30 minutes for the main course. The waitresses were confused, & messed up our bill twice. When our friend told her about his allergy, she questionned him if he wouldn't be only intolerant (roll a dice if you wanna end up in the hospital on saturday night). Our whole party dropped over 2k on the evening & none were satisfied. Again, if you do not value good service & getting your money's worth, go to the soubois on maisonneuve, you'll have a great time.
