Having been to Vorea Polaris some time ago I was happy to recommend the restaurant for a family gathering/Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately (as sometimes happens), the standard of cooking and food was not quite as good as previously. The once tender steak sandwiches were gristly and difficult to eat. My Eggs Benedict came with firm egg yolks. In their defence, when I queried this I was provided with two perfectly poached replacement eggs. The waitress was fantastic. The noise level a tad high. Parking was VERY difficult. The ability to pay separately for a table of six was a bonus.
