    The food was excellent. Unfortunately, we were seated at the first booth in the seating area so there was a lot of traffic passing by and the A/C unit above the booth was dripping condensation down on us. The Walleye and the ribs were both very good. The ribs were very tender and tasty. The walleye amandine with the lemon burre blanc was very flavorful. We enjoyed the food and would definitely go back.

    Emily was the perfect server last night. The hostess suggested that we sit in the bar since the restaurant was going to be packed. We were celebrating birthdays and were there for longer than we expected! Everything was superb!

    Friends meeting for dinner. I had the Crab Cake Salad and my friend had the Mixed Berry Salad with Blackened Salmon. Our salads were delicious. We had the grilled pound cake for dessert. It was very good. The side of mixed berries that came with it were so fresh!! Our server did a nice job. Additionally, we were able to briefly visit with Amy Pierce who provides a great customer experience as well. She only has positive things to say about the Polaris Grill. Keep up the great work!!

    As usual, everything was outstanding at Polaris Grill this past Sunday. I enjoyed the ribs, a dish that I haven't had in years at this location. Ribs were tender and delicious. The sides were excellent. My son had the chicken parm, the same meal he gets 90% of the time, and his fiancé had a breakfast brunch dish, which she enjoyed very much. The prices are very reasonable. Bill was under $100, and that includes two beers and a cocktail. We will be back often in the future.

    Never had a bad experience until yesterday. Service at the bar was unacceptable. Bread coming after we finished our salads. Same with peppers for pizza. Long wait to order. I sure wouldn't want to get this server ever again.
