Review Summary

Vargas is described as an elegant, versatile dining spot where steaks, sushi and seafood shine, with meals praised for fresh ingredients, bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The atmosphere is repeatedly noted as warm and beautiful, with a renovated bar that adds a New York vibe and makes it a good setting for date nights, business lunches and celebrations. Service is often described as friendly, professional and attentive, with staff who know the menu, though a few visits mention slower pacing or occasional missteps in timing or food delivery. Dishes receive strong marks, from tender ribeye and tomahawk steaks to standout sushi plates and creative appetizers, while some sides and seafood platters disappoint or feel pricey for the portion. Desserts and cocktails garner praise, especially the creme brulee and well crafted drinks, though some diners call out uneven value for money. Corporate and private events are described as well organized with efficient wine service and generous portions. Overall, Vargas comes across as a reliable choice for flavorful, quality meals and a memorable night out, with many guests planning to return for celebrations or regular visits.

Had a great experience at Vargas! It's a beautiful restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The drinks were good, & the tomahawk steak was also very good. Service was excellent. Yannick really created an amazing experience for us. Service 12/10.

Came in for a birthday dinner & left very satisfied.

Drinks came fast & we're very reasonably priced. Food was really good. Steaks were perfectly cooked to our liking. Waiter & busboy were very friendly & entertaining.
Will definitely be back.

A little disappointed with the food this evening…. Drink was mid, side was excellent but the steak itself (ribeye) was upsetting for the price we payed for…. But our waitress Emy was a delight !

Nice restaurant that I thought was in the Fairmont hotel but actually right next to it. I had the Walleye filet fish which was very flavorful along with the rice & veggies. My friend had the salmon that looked delicious as well & his plate was empty afterwards. The staff was nice but I felt like our waiter didn't introduce himself to us. It was my birthday which i noted on the reservation, but not acknowledged in any way. Tasty bread & drinks.

It was a good experience overall. Service, food, & drinks. It's a nice place to go to for special occasions. I highly recommend the Poseidon's Tower (seafood mix). The half portion easily covers 3 folks.

The food was disgusting.ordered a VIP platter to share with friends & for 64$.. it was nooot worth it at all. I could have gotten the party pack at M&Ms for 20$... the drink was good tho. This place used to be so good! The waiters seem annoyed as hell like it hurts to smile. Blah. Never again.

The food was pretty good. However, the coffee is so bitter that I can't drink it. Very old & not fresh taste. My friend & I took a sip & stood up. & one of the servers, Old Woman, had a very stiff attitude, which was unpleasant. I think people like that shouldn't work as servers.

Vargas is not what it used to be! Drinks are whatever, the food is not what it used to be. Food used to be so delicious & tasty now it's not the case. Very disappointed specially for the price it cost. The french onion soup was too cheesy & did not taste good.
