    Our server, Sarah, was spot on and had a delightful sense of humor. Thank you! Two of us had the walleye almandine, the others had the halibut and chicken quesadilla. All were fabulous (we expected no less) and three of us asked for boxes to go… that’s how generous the portions are. We love the Polaris Grill and will be back as we failed to ask for the 55 Salad dressing to go!

    Had the best experience with Kim as our server! Josh gave us a perfect table, nice and quiet! And the food just kept getting better through each course! I went out on limb from my usual steak and ordered ribs. So tender and delicious! My partner said her salmon was incredible! It was worth the drive and we found very reasonably priced! Everyone that came to our table was super friendly too! Enjoyed our dinner immensely! Thanks!

    Our experience at J Liu is always excellent; J Liu offers a variety of foods, including options for children. Unlike many restaurants that attempt many different types of food, J Liu has mastered all that they offer. Their East Asian options are flavorful and reasonably priced, and their fine dining entrees are top quality. Their waitstaff are attentive and knowledgeable. I recommend both of their locations, in Worthington and Dublin.
