My husband had the snapper/pasta meal. He said it was the BEST meal of his life. And he is quite critical of food. The mac and cheese is the best we both have ever had. I had filet which was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The entire staff is amazing. Watch them as they do swarm service. It's quite entertaining. They have a dress code for a reason...this is a first class restaurant. It's pricey but well worth it!

Our main server, Blake, was extremely friendly and attentive. Despite me being very new to such a formal dining experience, I was made much more comfortable by the way he interacted with us. The food was excellent and I loved my mocktail. Overall, a very enjoyable outing and certainly a place I would recommend for a special occasion.

Our server was clearly pretty new last night, but their service is typically impeccable. The only complaint I ever have is that it can get super duper loud - like you have to almost yell across the table to your dining partners. I don’t know that they can do anything about the acoustics since the place is basically a long skinny rectangle. Everyone’s food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We all had steaks with various sauces and toppings, and the cocktails are always on point! Definitely recommend!

We have only been once before and last time was a not quite the great experience we had previously. The restaurant was extremely noisy and it was difficult to have a conversation. The staff were nice but seemed less experienced than last time as well. My filet was excellent, creamed corn was a big hit, but the mashed potatoes were very plain and dry.

A bit of a disappointment overall. Not on the level of Rudy & Paco, unfortunately. Wait staff is a big step down. Clearly a management issue. Food was ok. Steak was just pretty good, but expected more. Service was slow. Overpriced wine was not good. I would choose R&P over this every day.

Excellent service, had the filet-it was overcooked. They took care of it immediately and brought me a new one. My husband had the snapper special which was tender and flavorful. Appetizers were delicious and of course the chocolate dessert dome was a perfect way to wrap up the dinner!

The reason for good not excellent was that I received a call a few hours before my reservation time asking if I would attend(we did) and to go over the dress code…I was informed about what men should not wear which I obeyed. I did ask if they enforce the dress code and was told they do. However, that has not been the case! Upon every visit, I have seen men not complying with the dress code and last night’s visit was no exception.. A man sitting near me had on leather sandals which I was told by Vargas was not acceptable attire. I would love to wear sandals and shorts,etc but I abide by the rules. I just don’t understand why Vargas makes such a big deal about the dress code but doesn’t enforce it.

Excellent meal and service!! This was our first time here!! Very impressed across the board. Ahi tuna was excellent and lobster bisque was one of the best I’ve had. My wife had the chopped salad and it was outstanding. Our entree was the red snapper and it was delicious!! Great experience from start to finish! Can’t wait to come back and try the steaks!

Very sophisticated dining experience. We shared the tower special and it was absolutely delicious! A ton of food. Service was 5 star all the way. We will be back again! The only somewhat negative was the table next to us was very close to us so felt like we were eating with our neighbors but, not too bad at all!

My fillet was overcooked. I ordered medium rare and I barely saw any pink. I really should have sent it back but I didn’t want to hold up the table proceedings. It was a very good cut of meat. Everything thing else was great as usual, but if it happens again I will take exception. Very old friend came and we took him to the best place we know.
