    We went for my wife's birthday and she enjoyed the Varka lobster while I had a tuna special and both were very good.

    Completely overrated! Ordered the seafood tower with crab, shrimp, oysters and clams. The clams were inedible and the shrimp were dry. For main course ordered the scallops which were tough and chewy, artichoke char was bland with no flavor. The prices were outrageous for a less than ordinary meal.

    Food is always good, but service has gone downhill in the past few years. Waiter only came by once during the whole meal . I wanted a drink refill and never got it.

    I’ve been dining at Varka for over 20 years, mostly special occasions, business lunch or date night dinner. In that time, the service and food quality have always bern excellent. How many restaurants are even are open for 20 years and keep you wanting to go back.
