Too much vinaigrette in the salad for me but the tuna was perfectly cooked.View more

Steak was fantastic, need more selection of apps & need a Caesar salad.
Update: Either they did not give me my Caesar salad that came with the steak or changed their menu & now claim they had it when I was there. Either way I got screwed.View more

Pour une côte de boeuf rôtie pas cher, il n'y a littéralement pas mieux que la table d'hôte de Vargas à midi en semaine. $30 pour un Prime Rib, une salade, de la purée de pomme de terre & un café (à midi en semaine), c'est l'une des meilleure valeur du centre-ville. Surtout que la côte de boeuf est vraiment excellente. Le service est je trouve par moment prétentieux cependant.View more

We had family visiting from Florida & they wanted steak dinner. We used to go to Moishe's before it was sold. It appears to have been bought by a Conglomerate which is akin to Loblaws buying L'Express on St. Denis...they actually moved this iconic restaurant to the Biz district of Montreal. C'mon, the ambiance & history were part of the attraction. Not to mention the prime cuts of beef & Yiddish menu. Vargas appealed as an option. The Service was impeccable for our table of 6. They had a small but excellent wine list. The decor was spacious, the coffered ceilings were high, with lots of Art Deco finishes, plus views of the Mtl skyline. I loved the touch of specialty bottled & well chilled H2O. I shared the Mediterranean Salad, it was big enough for 4. I'd love to know where they sourced such luscious tomatoes in February. The sprinkling of dried grapes offered an nice crispy texture to the juicy tomatoes, & it was a nice fresh appetizer to contrast with the main course of Ribeye I chose. The others had Onion Soup which tasted sweet & everyone finished to the last drop. Everyone enjoyed their choice of Sirloin, which was very tasty. No one actually used the different sauces on the side, as the steaks did not need any accompaniment. My only complaint is that my steak was medium rare & not rare as I chose, & was lukewarm on arrival. The desserts were absolutely divine. I shared the Chocolate souffle with dark thick chocolate syrup & the most heavenly ice-cream, surely home-made. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts, & Vargas did not disappoint in that regard. We had polite, attentive & discreet service throughout.I took one star off due to the lukewarm steak - but this would not prevent me from visiting this lovely & elegant restaurant in the future.View more

Food - their Lamb shanks, BBQ ribs, salmon plate are great. Tried their sushi for the first time, not bad at all. Onion soup is delicious with the old gruyere cheese. Cesar salad never disappoints. Their portion size varies from one dish to another. Service- nothing to complain about. Always good. Atmosphere- if you want a quiter ambience, do not sit near the bar. Otherwise, the ambience is great.View more

Impressive 5-star staff, a top-notch ambiance, & a perfect fillet mignon stole the show at our office party. However, the dessert left much to be desired, & the Caesar salad was disappointingly simplistic. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in the culinary department.View more

It is situated in the heart of Montreal's downtown area, making it convenient for both locals & tourists.
It is primarily known for its high-quality steaks, but due to dietary restrictions & considering its an official dinner, I preferred Chilean Sea Bass which was OK-ish. Their Ceasar Salad was excellent & fresh.
The restaurant is known for its elegant & stylish ambiance. It features modern décor, ambient lighting, & a chic atmosphere, making it suitable for business meetings.
Their service was how ever very slow which they need to improve.View more

What do you get when an upscale, oldschool steakhouse specializing in surf 'n' turf tries to cater to an increasingly diverse, health-conscious clientele?
A group menu of gravy-drenched meat & unoriginal sushi, with sides of iceberg salad, bland vegetables, tastes-likes-it's-from-a-can tomato soup & plain mashed potatoes, garnished with an oh-so-elevated sprig of parsley.
Would I have come here on my own? No. I'm clearly not this restaurant's target demographic.
Do I appreciate the effort they made to include vegan & vegetarian options on their group menu, like breaded cauliflower? Absolutely.
Did I imagine the chefs in the kitchen exclaiming "oh God, we have to include vegetables" in desperation? Many times.
Did my meal remind me of sad wedding venue or cafeteria food? Yes.
But if you're planning a group dinner, it sure as heck beats a steak-only menu. Plus there's lots of seating, & service is quick & efficient, so you'll be back at the office in under 2 hours.View more
