    The food and service were perfect. The lighting was too dark for me. We’ve been to Varka many times and looking forward to going back.

    Excellent food and service. A bit pricey, but It seems worth it for good fish. They are very busy and the noise level is a bit loud.

    Went completely down hill- if I need to place our order. Forgot numerous items and we had to ask a few times for the same thing. Wine was warm. Quality of the fish was not as fresh as usual … overall experience was very downhill from previous experience.

    Great food, caring service and prices very reasonable compared to NYC popular Greek restaurants. We frequent Varka as often as we can and we have a 20 minute ride to get there but it’s definitely worth it!

    Correction: All was very good but the lunch pre-fixed menu price was almost 20% more than it had been and what you showed on your web site.

    If it weren't for the noise level I would give it five stars. I was out on a date and there were moments (not overall) when it was very loud and none of your staff seem to make an effort to quiet down the crowd. I go back again but just be more mindful of that
