    Good Food! Very slow service, but compensated for by free drinks. Very clever cocktail drinks. Nice ambience. Confusing wait staff- had 3 people in and out of our table with redundant questions. I would return to try again.

    I love the Polar Bar. I think the ambiance is great. It was busy with a large group when we arrived but it is such a a big space that it doesn't ever feel too crowded. The food was yummy but the appetizers/shared snacks are all pretty salty. My Asian noodles with mushrooms were good. It is an affordable, fun place to eat and drink and there is parking.
