    Had cherry stone clams that were tough, tasteless, smelled and in chewable. The chicken was dry. Not their usual excellence.

    Hands down the best Greek restaurant! The food, the staff, the cocktails, the desserts, just all of it leaves you wanting to come back. It’s our family’s favorite restaurant.

    Prix fixe lunch was good value but on this occasion the dessert ‘doughnuts’ were stale . The cocktails were expensive and a mojito instead of being light & refreshing was surprisingly made with dark rum which wasn’t mixed well when served.

    The space is beautiful. The staff is polite and professional from the moment you step inside. I have always had wonderful meals here. I do not know of a place to get this verity of fresh fish. Appetizers to entree prepared perfectly. Deserts excellent and the staff took the extra time and effort to acknowledge a birthday celebration. The price of the fish from the display case is very high but so is the quality. If that’s too much there are other options on the menu that cost less. Happy to say I bit the bullet and had a mixed grill of fresh fish and shell fish. Absolutely amazing. Expenses but worth it to me. Well done!

    Food was outstanding, service was great except the main waiter for our table. He never inquired see if we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything. We felt ghosted after the main entree was served and we had to ask for our check too. At the cost of the restaurant it is implied that service should be top notch.

    Service was not on par with the pricing. Food was good but nothing to rush back to. Pricing was awful for the quality.

    I love varka. Food is Great. Servers could be a little friendlier and beautiful restaurant. I save my visits there for special occasions because dinner menu is a bit pricey. Great lunch menu too! Fixed price menu for lunch and you get a lot for your money!

    A+ for food! F for service! Very disappointing considering how many people recommended restaurant. Waiter forgot side and basically threw it on the table when he ran it out of the kitchen. Runners constantly walking by to see if we were done. Taking bread and olives when we were still eating. Basically moved all the dishes closer so no one with walk by and touch them! One and done for us!
