    First time dining at Polaris. Our waitress was great so made the dining experience even better. Even though the menu has fewer options than a typical restaurant but the food was amazing. The ambiance and vibe were on point. The rotating dining areas is very unique and add to the experience. .Let’s forget the view!! This is a fantastic spot to impress guests or that someone special and have a good time.

    Very good food and lovely dinner ambiance. I had previously only been here for brunch but we had to go for dinner too and try out their holiday cocktails. My friends and I enjoyed everything we ate and drank!

    The Garden Room is a once in a lifetime experience! It was well worth going to see the atmosphere and taste the food. Make sure to try the Le Vie Rose for dessert. The presentation is not to be missed. The waitress and staff went way above expectations to make sure everything was perfect. The only drawback is the prices. Definitely worth it for a special occasion. Just realize the portions will be small and expensive.
