We enjoyed drinks and appetizers off the Happy Hour menu. The fondue, tostado and orange shrimp were really good. We enjoyed the Parmesan grilled oysters and Big as- crab cake off the main menu also. Everything was great but the parking is limited and pricey.

The Spanish Heritage special was delicious and was priced fair. Caesar salad, 8 oz Argentinian filet with mashed potatoes and green beans plus cheese cake dessert was a great meal. All 3 steaks for our party wet great. Always a great time at Varga’s.
