Nice restaurant, a lot to choose from to order. The steaks were tough. The filet had to be sawed with the steak knife when it was cooked medium. It was a little over cooked. The cap steak was incredibly not worth it. Very little flavor also tough & maybe 6-8 ounces of meat for $68. Have a hard time believing these steaks were prime. Would not visit again.

I dined here alone on Christmas Eve to treat myself. When I arrived, I was greeted with'ni hao' & asked why I was dining alone. Later, while waiting for my steak to be remade (it was overcooked, though it was replaced), another waiter again greeted me with'ni hao.'

I just wanted to share some feedback that it can feel uncomfortable when a guest's nationality or language is assumed based on appearance. I was born & raised in Canada, & while I look Asian, I don't necessarily speak Mandarin.

Dining alone should feel comfortable & welcoming. I came in simply hoping to enjoy a nice meal & a quiet evening.

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.

Good quality is good, nice ambience, service staff were excellent. Pretty much your typical steakhouse. Not sure the value for dollar spent is there, but overall decent.

We are at Vargas when we were in Montreal for a convention. Amazing place: the steaks are incredible, & the cocktails were very, very good (10/10). Best part was our server Amy. She was super friendly & helpful. We ended up eating at Vargas 3 times that week.

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.

I've been to Vargas a few times over the years & I always find the steaks to be hit or miss. It's hard to knock a place for the steak not being tender & when I've told them about it they've always made something new. Unfortunately it's been 4 out of the 5 times I've gone that someone in our group has had a bad steak. Most recently I had the prime rib which was surprisingly very tough but they replaced it with a filet & a free dessert. The crème Brûlée was probably the best I've ever had. I was there with my son & he got the burger. For kids they charge you 12$ which is nice but it's the same burger on their menu minus the bacon. My son & I both agreed it's probably the best burger I've ever had in my life. It was really good but it was a tad spicy so if that's your thing you'll love it.
