    Another great meal and evening at Borealis. Our server, Luigi, is as nice a person as you could ever want to meet. He kept excellent care of us and heightened our evening with his wonderful outlook on life and his boisterous, outgoing nature. Excellent local food and drink are always available at Borealis. Definitely worth a visit!

    Borealis has always been a favourite of mine but this visit was a bit underwhelming. Service wasn’t super attentive and food was just ok. Hoping it was just an off night.

    Usually good, but the chair was dirty, the table was directly below a vent, and it was hard to find any fish in the fish tacos.

    The food was delicious and special care was taken for my dietary needs. The waiter was exceptional with attention to detail, personalable with his delightful bright personality. Unfortunately the acoustics make for a bit louder of a dining experience with voices carrying. Perhaps some tapestry would help to absorb sounds. Overall it’s definitely AMAZING! One of our favourite places to eat 🥰

    We are happy that the TVs in the bar are actually functioning TVs. The bar furniture really needs a makeover though. They look old and worn and chairs could use cushions. The bar was almost empty but they sat us right under the air conditioning-it was freezing. They let us move no problem, but I don't know why they sat us there- they should tone down the air. Fish Tacos were delicious. My husband's fish coating was over cooked- even looked charred. Nice wine list and our server was very friendly. Overall- had its hits and misses

    Love the restaurant. However, the noise on the second floor is quite uncomfortable. I have to remember to request a table on the first floor.

    Our server was very friendly, accommodating, and provided some helpful suggestions. One of the members of our party has some severe food allergies and the restaurant staff went above and beyond to ensure her food was safe but also very enjoyable.

    Our waitress was wonderful. Our fish (fish and chips order) was over battered and well done enough to shoot across the table when first cut, but our waiter agreed this was not acceptable and removed it and brought another. The second piece was excellent. I would go back because the waiter was so helpful and corrected the problem immediately and then I got a real taste of what they could do. It was great the second time.
