    We were disappointed in our experience this time. The turkey vegetable soup was poor and several others found their food bland. I thought my chicken club was ok but overpriced and an additional charge for a few pieces of lettuce and 3 cherry tomatoes added to that impression. The service was slow as well.

    The service was great. The boar ragu was meh while the buttermilk chicken was pretty good. The place is nice but doesn’t make a lasting impression.

    My family had supper at Borealis last evening. We had three different dishes and all were delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive. We recommend saving room for dessert which is always yummy. We tried the chocolate tort this time. It disappeared in record time!
