DO NOT waste you time and money

by Leslie Humphries at Citysearch

Went to brunch for Birthday celebration. Service was just terrible!! So slow, and an obvious language barrier. Very limited selection on buffet. Entrees came before we finished salads, could not get a re-fill on a cup of coffe. Constantly having to ask for more creamer, more this and more that... Then entre came out cold!! and it tasted funny! Just so dissapointed... I heard the place had gone down hill, but just would not belive it till i saw for myself. Used to love this place,, now I will not return.

• Pros: is beautiful
• Cons: service is poor and food is mediocre to poor

We went on my wife's birthday... they made her birthday real special ! with Jazz Music in background.. seating by the View of Lake and gardens was breathtaking alone.. They played Happy Birthday Music and announced her name when the cake was brought with my wife's name on it !! Food was also delicious !! I had filet Mignon and my wife got Mixed Grill with Crab cakes that were excellent !!

Great Place For A Magical Evening!!!

My girlfriend and I went to Vargo's for a special romantic dinner. We drove up through the white gates into the ample parking lot and immediately the gardens outside took our breath away. We were an hour late but got seated immediately by the large floor to ceiling windows. We had a spectacular view of the gardens. There is a lake, and trees, and foot bridges, peacocks, and a beautiful lighted gazebo.

The service was attentive and not intrusive. Fresh rolls with two different kinds of butter and water were brought immediately and there was no rush for us to order.

I ordered the pecan encrusted red snapper with creamy lemon butter sauce. It tasted wonderful and the portions were so big I couldn't finish! My girlfriend had the rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection. The manager himself went around to each table to make sure everyone was having a good time. That was a really nice touch.

Afterward, we went out into the garden and walked up the path to the large gazebo. It was truly magical walking up there at night. I asked my sweetheart to marry me as we sat there. She said yes as the birds chirped in delight. It was one of the best nights of my life. Thanks Vargo's!

• Pros: Ambiance, Spectacular Garden Views, Fine Dining
