Our dining experience was excellent, from checking in until we left the restaurant. Our server was Allie and she did an excellent job. The food was delicious.

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!
