    Love the layout - especially of the bar area. Our server. Sydney, was an absolute delight! Very attentive and everything was just as we ordered. The pretzels and lobster roll were delicious, as were the drinks. The live entertainment was a huge plus and we highly recommend giving Brian Douglas Day’s music a listen. All in all, a great evening and we will definitely be back again.

    Totally awesome romantic lunch for two. All the food was quite good, the Chicken & Mushroom Pot stickers especially so. We had some leftover, or I would have ordered a take out of those pot stickers. We enjoyed the bread service as well don't forget to ask for it. Someone cut up the greens on the salad very fine, making for a delicious salad that you could eat elegantly in fine clothing. The selection of ingredients in the salad told you that some serious thought by professionals went into the making of that salad. It was, like all of the food, something that made you slow down and savor every bite and listen to what the chef was telling you. We didn't have room for any dessert, but the sorbet was calling to me just the same. We'll be back for our anniversary, if not sooner.

    We LOVE the Polaris Grill. Tonight, our server - TJ - was excellent. Didn’t hover but was always within reach. We were surprised with the quickness that our entrees arrived (prior to finishing our salads), but we overcame that and continued our celebratory meal in fine fashion. The walleye was phenomenal (as always) and the chicken quesadilla will be finished tomorrow!

    Was recommended this restaurant by a friend and she did not disappoint! The prefix menu was delicious. We started out with the caramelized pears then my partner and I decided to try as many options as possible so he chose opposite of me. We def optimized our tasting experiences by sampling each others! For the 3 courses offered as well as the add ons for a starter and dessert, this is very reasonably priced. The vibes were cute and the service was great! Will def be going back!
