    First time at the restaurant, hostess was very nice and seated us quickly. Bathrooms were very nice and clean, but that was the highlight. Service was not good at all. My date had to eat about 60 percent of her meal with no water. We noticed all the other tables not getting great service as well. Once we finally got our order taken, the food was very average for the price. The vegetables were hard very undercooked. The steak was chewy and just felt like a cheap cut. The beer was cold so take the positives I guess. Probably won’t come back. Especially if we get that server.

    My lady had the beef tournedos, and I had the walleye. I ate all the walleye and one of her tournedos . Both were delicious.

    We hadn't been to Polaris Grill since before Covid, so we thought it was time to go back. It was a wise choice. The food was great and our server Tony was the epitome of what a server should be.We'll return sooner than later and hope that our man Tony can attend to our needs once again!
