    Varka is good but incredibly expensive for what you get. Portions are small and the food is good but I never walk away saying this was one of the best meals I have ever had. Cafe Panache is across the street and the food is much better and a better value.

    We received 3 of our appetizers and only one was edible. We sent everything back and requested our check after stating our issues. No conversation, no gm at our table. Just an extremely rude server who could couldn’t care less and a $300 bill. HORRIBLE SERVICE, mediocre food, they also do not advertise the correct pricing on their wines. Ended up getting charged $65 more for the same vintage they have listed on their website.

    We have been hearing about this place randomly for a decade and finally made it in and wow might be my new favorite place. We tried almost every fish on the menu. The fish was so fresh the consistency was unique and everything came out perfect timing. Our waiter was friendly and multiple people came over to clean the table and our drinks were always half full. The dessert was next level. Can’t wait to go back :)
