    As always, the food and service were excellent. Borealis is my go-to restaurant for lunch with friends. My fish tacos were perfectly cooked with generous, tasty toppings.

    Although our server was pleasant, our food was not ordered to the kitchen. We waited an hour and ten minutes for our food. We were offered a bowl of fries to tie us over “ on them”. This should have been offered as a discount on our meals not a bowl of fries. The food was very good once we were served. Sadly we will not return.

    Great night out. Beef dip was a little mushy and I would have liked a salad or vegetables with the Fish Tacos and not the chips. Those suggestions would take my review from a 4 to a 5.

    I hosted a small family gathering and enjoyed the ambiance and the great food. The service was excellent. The daily specials were tasty and reasonably priced.. The acoustics were good and we could actually have a conversation. I’ll certainly return
