We decided to go to Vargas since we had not visited the restaurant before during restaurant week in Galveston. After we were seated we were told the the restaurant week menue was only avaliable on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We were a bit confused on the days since their website shows they are closed on Mondays. We decided to stay since we were there. The food was fantastic in flavors and presentation. The drinks and wine were very good and of high quality. The service was great. Their entrée are large enough to split. If we miss the days of the restaurant week only menues, whish I don’t believe were listed on the original Ad on visitgalveston.com. Over all the experience was a good one and our waiter Oscar great.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been eating in USA. Everything in this restaurant is excellent. If you looking for culinary experience you must stop be here. It costly but it’s worthless $$$$. (Average $100.00 per person)

We are visiting Galveston before our cruise and tried a few restaurants. This was the best one we tried. The whole dining experience was fantastic. The menu had so many options. They were flexible to modifying dishes to meet my dietary needs. Dessert was divine. We got the bread pudding and a chocolate dome, which was melted table side with a hot chocolate sauce revealing the warm brownie with cinnamon ice cream inside. We would totally come back when we get another chance. This place is a must-try!

We were looking for a really nice restaurant with a great steak for my husbands birthday— We love to support local businesses and Vargas sounded great. Our friends highly recommended it. Tyler was our waiter and was excellent and very attentive. atmosphere was lovely. We had fried green tomato appetizer –yum. Our dinner was filet and scallops and baked potato –all was delicious. Reni at the bar made my husband a great Long Island Ice Tea. We were too full for dessert–but will be back and have the Paco Dome dessert– A very pleasant experience and highly recommend— more pricey than some places–but worth it. everything fresh and cooked perfectly.

Vargas deserves more than 5 stars! The food was superb! The bisque was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband and I both ordered their steak and lobster special, which was phenomenal. And their whipped potatoes were delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Their level of service and detail creates is perfect, especially when you are seeking a little more elevated dining experience.

The restaurant is truly an experience! From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Our waiter took his time to guide us through the menu, making the evening feel personal and unhurried. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, which added a special touch to the night.
The timing of everything was perfect—our food and drinks all arrived together, and the attention to detail was impressive. As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch, exceeding all expectations.
If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend coming here!

Our first time ever going here. I called to see if they had a wait time and they said they did not (surprisingly). When we got there they opened the door for us and already had our table ready! The atmosphere is very comfortable – with low lighting – and the servers are very friendly. The food was amazing. Blueberry ice cream was to die for. I recommend ordering a martini and splitting it with someone. That was a fun experience! Lol I can’t believe I had never been here before. This will be my husband and I’s regular dinner spot when we visit Galveston!

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The service at Vargas Cut & Catch was truly amazing—attentive, welcoming, and polished. Our sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable, offering thoughtful wine pairings that elevated the entire meal. The food was prepared to perfection—every bite was full of flavor and clearly crafted with care. The entire staff was professional and created a warm, upscale atmosphere. Highly recommend for a memorable evening out!
