The food is great, 4/25/2011

This is a GREAT prom destination. The food is great, the girls absolutely love the scenery, and the service is excellent. I'm from the Woodlands and think the drive was well worth the experience. There was a piano guy playing the night we were there; he was playing quietly, elevator music...I went over and asked if I could play the piano; he let me. I started off with some classic chopsticks to his horror but then proceeded to play some jazz and some classical. They were very nice and it was a lot of fun. (I think they only let me play because pretty much everyone in the room was from one prom or another that night). I loved the place. I've been there several times before, I'm going back tonight actually. Can't wait. I needed to get the address and I found this site. more

It was wonderful. 4/21/2011

Lee High School had their prom at Vargos. It was wonderful. The service was excellent! The atmosphere was breathtaking. Most of the food was good. The prime rib was a little to rare for my taste. I defintely will go back for a romantic date. more

I'd love to go back again. 4/19/2011

My husband I ate at Vargo's last night for his birthdays. There service was some of the best we've ever had. Each year I try to take him for the 'best steak in town'. This year Vargo's topped the rest! He had the Twin Filet Oscar plate and I had the stuffed chicken. Both were delicious. Carrot cake and tiramisu to cap off the night were wonderful as well. I'd love to go back again. more

We plan to come back ASAP. 4/13/2011

DH and I went tonight for our 39th wedding anniversary. I've lived in Houston since I was 10 years old, but this was our first visit, in part because of the negative reviews on this site. We had a wonderful time. Nothing looked old and grungy; in fact, the decor was quite pleasant. Of course, the views are drop-dead gorgeous. I ordered an Irish coffee. It was the best I've ever had. The waiter even asked me if I needed more alcohol and/or coffee to make it perfect. We started with French onion soup for DH and the house salad for me. Both were great. The dressing on the salad was especially good. Entrees were filet and shrimp for DH and filet with wine-mushroom sauce for me. Both came with potatoes and mixed vegetables. For dessert, DH had key lime pie. I had another Irish coffee, but had several bites of the pie, which was excellent. Water glasses were kept filled, warm bread never stopped coming, and the waiter was perfect - attending to our every need but neither hovering nor obsequious. We plan to come back ASAP. more

  • In Short
    Founder Al Vargo finally sold this Memorial-area landmark in the '90s, but it continues to be the site of countless weddings, bar mitzvahs and private receptions of all stripes....
