Dinner for 5. Service=good overall but waited quite a while for waiter/water. Also, food runners brought wrong dishes to wrong people twice. Waiter (Pascal) was friendly, fun & funny.
Food: Bread rolls were good but some were not that fresh. Grilled octopus app was good but not great & had a weird chimichanga sauce. Definitely not worth $30. French onion soup was not hot & the cheese barely melted=someone took it out of the oven way too early. Sent it back & 2nd time around it was hot & melted & broth quite tasty. Grilled veggies that came with steaks for $12 were a let down. Burger de Dave (topped with aged cheddar, maple-glazed bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles & chipotle aioli. Served with golden fries. ) was good but a bit messy because of the aioli, & the meat is not well seasoned. Filet mignon was very good, as was the Miso glazed salmon. Overall a good meal but not great bang for your buck at around $70 per person without booze. Keg offers better overall food & value.

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.

We had family visiting from Florida & they wanted steak dinner. We used to go to Moishe's before it was sold. It appears to have been bought by a Conglomerate which is akin to Loblaws buying L'Express on St. Denis...they actually moved this iconic restaurant to the Biz district of Montreal. C'mon, the ambiance & history were part of the attraction. Not to mention the prime cuts of beef & Yiddish menu. Vargas appealed as an option. The Service was impeccable for our table of 6. They had a small but excellent wine list. The decor was spacious, the coffered ceilings were high, with lots of Art Deco finishes, plus views of the Mtl skyline. I loved the touch of specialty bottled & well chilled H2O. I shared the Mediterranean Salad, it was big enough for 4. I'd love to know where they sourced such luscious tomatoes in February. The sprinkling of dried grapes offered an nice crispy texture to the juicy tomatoes, & it was a nice fresh appetizer to contrast with the main course of Ribeye I chose. The others had Onion Soup which tasted sweet & everyone finished to the last drop. Everyone enjoyed their choice of Sirloin, which was very tasty. No one actually used the different sauces on the side, as the steaks did not need any accompaniment. My only complaint is that my steak was medium rare & not rare as I chose, & was lukewarm on arrival. The desserts were absolutely divine. I shared the Chocolate souffle with dark thick chocolate syrup & the most heavenly ice-cream, surely home-made. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts, & Vargas did not disappoint in that regard. We had polite, attentive & discreet service throughout.I took one star off due to the lukewarm steak - but this would not prevent me from visiting this lovely & elegant restaurant in the future.

Bone-in Rib eye & Rip cap steaks were amazing. Sides were equally great. Sushi was fresh too. Staff was amazing & very attentive. Great vibe with chill & upscal decor. Would definitely come here again. They were also able to accommodate our well behaved toddler!

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 !

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.

I came here for a group work dinner. The menu was necessarily restricted, however the steak & frites was excellent, the peppery dauce with it was just right & tbe service was attentive. The atmosphere was good, very noisy but still quiet enough that i could have a conversation without difficulty.

This will be my one & only time at Vargas, sorry to say. The vibe was nice staff polite but the food was very bland, the tomahawk steak was absolutely disgusting. I have never paid so much for terrible food in my life. If a 160$ steak was that bad then i am afraid to say anything cheaper would be any better.
