    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!

    This was my first time eating at the restaurant. The food was amazing. Brandon, our waiter, was very attentive. I look forward to going there again.

    The only issue we have with this restaurant is that they squeeze so many tables into the dining room that if you are sitting with your back to the aisle that people walk in through, you will be bumped about 7 times and need to scoot your chair in to hair people with walkers get in, and we are average sized people who are sitting far away from the table. It is so annoying. But the food is sooo good, I’ll put up with it, but I will attempt to never sit in these tables again.

    We love Marcella's! There were four adults and two kids under five. The waiter was kind, sensitive to food allergies, and he treated us very well. I enjoyed having gluten free options including bread! We all enjoyed our meals.

    Our waitress was not tentative. Did not refill our drinks. Did not give us small plates for appetizers and bread.

    It took 2 1/2 hours to get out of there, our food took forever, there was a silver sequence bead in our salad, they said they were going to comp it and then when we got the bill, it was not comped. Service was Metrograph best. The bathrooms were disgustingly dirty. And the food was average. We will not be going back.

    Honestly, food was just OK for the cost. My pasta was a bit undercooked my salad was missing some described toppings but it was a cool interior and ambiance. Staff was kind but you could tell they were running since it was so busy. They got my toddlers food out quick though which i really appreciated. They also took allergies very seriously which means a lot to someone with celiac.
