Excellent service and delicious cuisine. Everything from the bread/olive oil/olives/humus, to the appetizers and main course (whole fish red snapper) were outstanding. My request for a "quiet table" was accommodated, however, Varka is still a noisy restaurant (wood floors) and will always be difficult for those of us with ambient noise issues (I guess a hearing aid is in my future). In honor of my birthday some very tasty complementary scoops of sorbet were provided ... and no happy birthday singing (which was appreciated). My only issue on "value" is the high price of the appetizers. The white Greek wines go really well with the seafood and are an excellent value with most in the $45-55 range for a bottle.
