Waitress was amazing! She had to do it all at the bar & tables & took great care of us. Prime rib could be better & sea bass was a bit salty. Foies gra was great as well as beef tartare. Oysters were amazing as well.

Les Busboys au bar vous accueillent avec un joli sourire & sont très attentifs à vos besoins. Thank you for the kind service.

Ordered Kansas aged steak for lunch. Tasted like I cooked it, not over a BBQ but on a Temu griddle. Unseasoned. Barely 1/2 inch. Tasted like steak you find on the clearance section of a low end supermarket. Baked potatoes top was great, bottom had the consistency of leather. Unimpressed. Service was great.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
