Out waiter seemed to be rushing us but he did a wonderful job making sure we had whatever we needed. The Aztec chowder seemed bland ( group consensus. Th 55 salads , 4 of them, were wonderful. The carpaccio was excellent and the chili was exceptional. The salmon was delicious, as were thr mashed potatoes. The asparagus was woody. The short ribs were exceptional. The pork chops were good. The veggie plate was very good. The cocktails seemed off. Nice 77th birthday. Thank you.

So disappointed in the staff! I made an online reservation noting we were celebrating an anniversary. Upon arrival the host noted the anniversary and nothing was mentioned after that. I kept waiting for the wait staff to do something or at least a dessert delivered. Definitely won’t celebrate big events there again. A 50th wedding anniversary is to be celebrated!!!!

I had the mixed grill (steak, crab cake and salmon) and my wife had the crab cake entree (three crab cakes). Everything was very tasty, the portions were generous and the vegetables were not overcooked. Service was quick and friendly. The only thing I would fault is the bread, which is insubstantial and tasteless. I would urge the restaurant to give this more attention. As the first thing your customer tastes, this is the first impression you're giving your customer. That's important. Had the bread been better, I would have given the food a rating of 6.

Polaris Grill has been an anniversary staple for me. However, last night was a little disappointing. The food was only average and my wife, who has Celiac, got sick later in the evening. The service was ok but a little slow. Hopefully, just a bad night, but we expect more for the price.

We enjoyed our dinner at Polaris Grill. However, my salmon with shitake mushrooms had mostly white button mushrooms - not shitake (very different). Also it made me feel bloated so sauce had too much fat in it. The bread is plain white - for upscale restaurant should have more healthy bread. Otherwise everything was good including service and convenient parking.

Beautiful evening. I loved the U shaped booth that sat our of honor, front and center so everyone could hear the entire conversation throughout the evening. The music wasn’t too loud so we could continue talking and hearing all six members of our group. As the night got busier, it did get louder, but was not a nuisance. The food was incredible! I always recommend the Pane De Grill bread with fondue appetizer. I shared the TOURNEDOS POLARIS (twin beef tenderloin filets / demi-glace' / mushrooms /fresh vegetables / redskin smashed potatoes 34) with my daughter and ordered extra mashed potatoes. Always a winner!! We ordered blue cheese topping to steak- delicious ! The (filthy) Belvedere Martini (no Vermouth) with extra blue cheese olives was amazing! Our server, Rachel was fantastic. Everything came as ordered. She was perfect on her timing. She delivered the extra Pane DeGrill to us promptly( because one order is not enough😂) our drinks were amazingly-perfect as ordered. She was always helpful and professional.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was good. My food choice could have matched the service and ambience better, as it was not quite to that level. I had the club sandwich and the meats were square deli, nothing special, rather dry. Would eat there again as this was the first time.
