    Our server, Magdalena, was excellent. The mushroom soup was the best, and the nickel salad was classic.

    As in the past this visit was just as pleasant. The service was great. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I’ve found over the years that Polaris Grill is very consistent in all areas which keeps me coming back. Looking forward to the next visit. Thanks.

    Great restaurant! Supporting an upscale independent business (not a chain) is also important to me.
