    Everything was perfect the only thing that bothered me is I have a leg injury and prefer a booth cause it's softer on the back of my leg and they said there was non available. But when they seated us there was plenty of booths open and the next 3 couples that showed up after us was seated at booths. Just made for a uncomfortable night for my leg to say the least. But the food is amazing.

    We had the most wonderful Valentine's dinner at the Polaris Grill. We talked about making it a yearly tradition. Our server- Devin, was the absolute best. Very personable and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We would highly recommend being seated in his section. The food was amazing but the service made it the best!

    Our server, Greg, was amazing! We brought my mother in law for the first time and he made her feel so welcome and comfortable. Able to answer all questions with a professional manner, and knew the right times to joke around. Compliments to the entire team and also to the chefs that cooked our amazing meals.

    I wanted to give a huge appreciation to our waitress who was beyond knowledgeable about gluten free preferences vs necessary restrictions. We had 8 individual checks and the waitress was on top of it! One person had a delayed meal and the staff gave her a complimentary dessert which I thought was sweet. The food was also amazing. Would recommend!!
