Points positifs: - Bon service. - Salle calme. - Ambiance chaleureuse. - Viande tendre. - Entrée bonne. Points négatifs : - La cuisson du tomahawk n'était pas homogène. - Les frites aux truffes & les champignons grillés était extrêmement salés. - petite sensation d'inconfort à la table où nous étions (à côté du mur rideau, il faisait un peu froid). - L'eau des lavabos est froide, faudrait revoir le réglage du mélangeur).

Mid food Streak frite was expensive for what you're getting ,the fries are soggy but the meat is okay. The calamaries are tasteless & the batter crumble as soon as you touch it Sushis are fresh but again expensive (50 for 20 pieces) The apple cheese cake was old & it's graham base soggy. The Ferrero chocolate cake was absolutely tasteless

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.

Les asperges étaient brûlées les patates étaient sèches laisser trop longtemps en dessous de la passes l'entrée de brochettes la viandes étaient pleines de veines difficiles à manger. Une table de cliente à côté étaient nues pieds & s'amusaient à déranger les tables autour. Tellement une grosse déception pour 500$

I brought an associate from out of town to Vargas not too long ago, as I've been several times before & always had a great experience. We requested to sit at the bar & ordered an assortment of appetizers, including, the shrimp cocktail, shrimp tempura, grilled angus beef satays & the tuna tartare, as well as, several delicious cocktails. The shrimp tempura was notably very delicious, but everything else was still very good; the food has never disappointed. The only downfall of this particular visit was the atmosphere on this specific night. Someone who looked to be either the manager or possibly a supervisor seemed to be hovering around the bar area, staring at the customers sitting at the bar for prolonged periods of time. As someone who has been there before, it felt very odd, & for my friend who had never been before, he felt very uncomfortable as a result of this individuals actions. It was a little disappointing & led us to cut our time shorter than we would've liked because we didn't feel very welcome. The bartenders that night were phenomenal & made one of the best espresso martinis i've had in a while (would recommend) Johanne & Cris were extremely kind & made our experience notably better. We loved talking to them & spending the night with them at the bar, excellent service! Overall, will be returning, as the restaurant is normally wonderful in all aspects, but this particular evening was a little bit disappointing.

Large menu selection & affable wait staff make for a nice eating experience. That said, the seating area can get loud - even if only half full of patrons - which can make it challenging to hear conversations at your own table.

We were celebrating our anniversary & made reservations to eat here. Some of the low ratings concerned me however I don't see the merit in them? The food was fantastic! I ordered the Ribeye & my wife ordered the kamikaze. Also got a side of mushrooms & mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect, steak was cooked to perfection & the sushi was very high quality. Service was not slow at all (& the place was packed when we went). Not sure of the negative reviews but I had a great experience. Will return when we visit Montreal again!

Had a wonderful dinner with 10 friends - Berta was our service & took amazing care of us. Great advice on what to order.
Shared Tender Kamikaze & additional order of sushi tempura just perfect amount for me.
Portions are large. Steak was tender. Sushi was good.
Friend had French onion soup.
Next time hope to try desserts!

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.
