Editor's Description
Last updated: February 21st, 2010
Vargas Grill is an unflinching dedication to the art and act of grilling -- everything on the menu is grilled by either one big gas grill or two smaller charcoal grills, even the desserts.The chef is the same from Azul and the menu is very straightforward; they're slinging imported US and Australian steaks, plus a bunch of sides.

Phew! just got home from dining at the Vargas Grill and i'm so happily stuffed all i can think about is falling asleep infront of the TV...my plans to go dancing are postponed!
this was my carnivore boyfriend's choice, but i was happy to see that there were three diffierent fish on the menu. He had Steak which he said was perfectly cooked but not quite warm enough in the middle, though i didnt try it. the fish was superb, still moist and full of flavour. there is a good choice of appetisers so if you are averse to red meat like i am there is still plenty to choose from. He had Pork ribs which he said were the best in shanghai but again you'll have to take his word for it! My salad was lovely, and good enough to not just be a "token vegetarian option" which is what i normally expect from meat focused restaurants.
the service is worth mentioning too; for this price range i'm usually happy to just get everything i order in a timely fashion, but our waitress was genuinely warm, knew how to describe some of the exotic sauces on the menu, and seemed to actually care if we were happy. The atmosphere is definately worth mentioning, i would come back even if the food was just ordinary so i could lounge in one of the beds with a cocktail after dinner. think sexy pinup girls and dark wood with funky music and dim lighting.
we refused desert being too full, but the manager gave us one on the house anyway...pineapple slices grilled and topped with mascarpone. i would never think to order it but like he said, after a heavy meal the fruit was very refreshing, and the flavour of the grill in the pineapple was interesting.
being semi vegetarian i can't rate this as my favourite place in town but if my carnivorous friends want to go i will happily join them! As a dining experience i am sure this is going to be the next mid price hot spot in town.
