Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Varka Fishhouse consistently delivers "amazing food" and "excellent service," with a standout fresh seafood selection and delightful cocktails. The ambiance is vibrant, though sometimes noisy. It's a favorite for special occasions, offering dishes like "grilled octopus" and "lobster gyros." While prices are high, the quality and experience justify the expense.

    The food was amazing - best grilled octopus I have EVER had! And the ambiance was unique. I drove 53 miles to get here to meet with friends, and it did not disappoint. I see myself driving 53 miles a few more times!

    Excellent in every way. It was our anniversary dinner and everything was great! Food, service, wine, dessert were spot on. The dessert was complimentary and completely unexpected, very classy touch!

    One of my favorite restaurants! Love the food, drinks, staff and management. Always makes us feel welcome. The swordfish kabob, grilled octopus, varka chips, spreads and chicken Youvetsi are my favorite.

    Great food and service. A bit too loud/ they could do more to install some sound absorption.
