    Food was ok, not great. Sat the 4 of us (3 grown men and an adult female) at a small crowded table. Waitress was very nice, but service was not great. Bread served without butter. Didn’t ask if my husband wanted another drink. All that said, timeliness of the food was good. Not sure we will hurry back.

    Wedding soup was immaculate. All the pasta meals we had at our table were excellent. Server was quick and helpful. The room was cold and a little noisy. Overall wonderful!

    Everything was great just felt really cramped and loud. Food was delicious and service was great but not a fan of how I could reach out and touch strangers.

    My dish was excellent, but my wife did not get the recipe she was expecting. The lesson is that you need to ask questions about what exactly is included in the dish.

    We arrived early for our reservation hoping to find a spot in the bar to enjoy happy hour. The host was extremely accommodating in getting us settled. Our waitress was serving many tables in the bar area, but still the service was excellent. We ordered from the happy hour food menu - caprese salad, meatball, sausage pizza. It was so good we ordered more! This was an excellent experience all the way around.

    It was a late 2:00 lunch so it wasn’t busy. Nice lunch menu. We enjoyed a good lunch and would recommend to anyone. Good lunch combos so you can enjoy a variety without getting stuffed.

    Our waitress Ali took very good care of my daughter and I. She was attentive, knew the menu well to share information with us, brought us additional bread and soda, too. Ali was wonderful, thoughtful. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience at Polaris Marcella's Restaurant!
