Très beau restaurant assez chic avec un service impeccable le repas était délicieux moi j'ai pris côte de boeuf au jus délicieuse avec une entrée de moelle dans l'os & une frite épicé & une bière le tout pour $105 cela vaut la peine je recommande
The bone-in rib cap steak is a unique find at steakhouses. It was delicious & fired beautifully. I enjoyed with the seasonal vegetables & cocktail while seated at the bar. I recommend & will return to try other menu items.
Exceptional service, fine dining! The restaurant accommodated us for a large group minutes before arriving & did a fantastic job! Must try their sushi or meat!
Pour être honnete, meilleur steak vieilli 90 jours de ma vie, cuisson parfaite. Les sushis etait très frais, vraiment recommandé. Les contres maintenants: tartare de boeuf beaucoup trop piquant, sauce au poivre médiocre, vraiment décevant pour un steak house, beaucoup trop réduite, beaucoup trop de poivre, je ne crois pas qu'il y avait de la crème fraiche ni de cognac. Une discution avec le chef s'impose.
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.
Was here on Saturday, F1 night. Had an absolute garbage dinner at The Keg the previous night (only place to get a seat unfortunately) The great experience I had at Vargus was due to the bar staff: Joanne & the blond girl (I apologize but I didn't get her name) These 2 girls are the most outgoing, qualified, personable bartenders /hostesses I have ever been around. Friendly from the initial "hello", great to chat with about things while still servicing the busy bar & service area. Smiles the whole time & it was crazy busy. Two of the most genuine people I have interacted with in a very long time. I'm from Ottawa & I would come up for a night just to have dinner because of these 2 girls. I was with a buddy, in for the weekend, & we had a great time. Steak & sushi were fantastic as well. Great place to have dinner for sure & I will be back. Thanks to everyone for the great experience :)
Reserved the place for two friends & I for a bachelor's dinner. Not busy at all on a Sunday considering it's the long weekend. Ordered two platters of sushi accidentally but didn't regret it, a Porterhouse with fillet mignon. Food was absolutely phenomenal & the service was impeccable. Recommend this place 10/10
