    We went here for our anniversary dinner. It was a gorgeous setting. All of the staff- servers, host, kitchen staff (because the kitchen is open) were wonderful. Food was amazing (but a little small on portions). We definitely would come back. Also shout out to our waitress Su who made especially sure that I safe to eat with celiac disease/food allergy.

    Way better than Sundial! Great views and very intimate. I’ve had these reservations for a while and Polaris did not disappoint! The steak was to die for and I recommend the Peanut Butter Cup Martini as your “dessert”! ☺️

    Overall, it was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, the service was magnificent, and the ambiance was perfect! However, my only complaint is the person who was on expo was not wearing any gloves. And we saw him scroll through his phone multiple times and then continue to sprinkle stuff over the food with no gloves or sanitizing. We lost our appetite at that point and were unable to finish our plate.

    Everyone was pleasant from the time we approached the elevator host. Look for the Polaris Blue sign near the elevator in the lobby!! Michael our server and his co server and the general manager and the chef were all genuinely pleasant. I did not catch her name, but the young lady who served the table next to us, swooped in and hung my coat and took some nice pix for us! Above and beyond!! Drinks and food 10/10! Ambience 10/10! Thank you Polaris!!

    The view was great. The lighting should get dimmer when the sun starts to set to be able to really appreciate the view. Our waiter kept going on and on about the Charcuterie board that he did not get into the mains and we had to ask him questions. I am not sure why they are pushing the charcuterie board so much. Also, we did not appreciate that they cut up our steak for us. The waiter should have mentioned that they do this and the customer should have the option. It was our first time a Polaris and this was not expected. The "Oscar" preparation on the filet was essentially jumbo lump crab mixed in with 1 asparagus cut in pieces. Not what you would expect from a traditional Oscar presentation. We also had the Pecan tart and it came out cold. It should have been served warm to really appreciate the a la mode serving. I think the restaurant is nice and the view is nice, but there was much left on the table when it comes to the very expensive meal. It was close to $200 for my husband and I. We split 2 apps, each had a main and shared a dessert.

    Polaris delivered! Often a place like this you find yourself paying for the view/rotating restaurant feature and the food is so so. That was not the case. The food was great, priced fairly, with great service. I’m a cocktail snob and they did a great job—some of the cocktails were a bit overpriced though ($25). Probably the most disappointing part was the view at times. Some not so pretty buildings flanking the restaurant, but completely out of their control of course. All in all we had a very good meal and great experience at Polaris.

    I want to start of by stating I never write reviews, but this place was the best dining experience I have ever had. I decided to go to this place because of the view and I thought it would be a nice date idea. I expected mostly a nice view and ok food being that most niche restaurants that offer something unique like nice view or scenery offer either overpriced food or boring food. I was very surprised to find out this place was amazing in every aspect. The view was amazing, especially once it starts getting dark and the surrounding buildings start to light up. The food was way above expectations and unlike anything I have ever eaten. We started with the octopus as an appetizer and it was so well cooked ( most places over cook octopus ) and it tasted so good that I was honestly thinking about ordering it again as the main entree. Everything we ordered was recommended by our waitress, and she was very helpful and definitely made our night. Very rare nowadays to find a restaurant with beautiful scenery, staff that exceeds what is expected of them, and amazing food all at once. To top it off the price for everything was way less than I expected. This place is definitely my new favorite and we will be back more often.

    Sea bass was very good! Drinks were good. I would only ask that more dishes that do not include pork and/or shellfish would be added to the menu. There are those of us that do not eat swine/pork nor shellfish (nor catfish, squid or octopus). If it comes out of the water without scales and fins we won't eat it.😏 Nevertheless, Polaris is a great place to dine!

    My husband and I went to Polaris as my 45th Birthday Gift!! I was amazed by our experience--the class, ambiance, design, and beautiful 360 degree views of the city!! Everyone was extremely professional and we didn't come across one frowning face! Su was our waitress; I cannot say enough about this young lady!! She went above and beyond to accommodate our every need--from taking the perfect pictures to consulting with the chefs concerning my dietary preferences!! The food was absolutely delicious, leaving us wanting seconds (and thirds)!! They even surprised me with a Birthday Dessert of my choice!! I absolutely recommend this restaurant as a first date, intimate celebration, or meeting place!!! We will definitely be returning!!!!
