    Three ladies dining out. Server was outstanding - knowing when to pay attention and when to leave alone. Food was excellent and wine choices were good.

    Overall the evening fell a little short which is very surprising based on our previous experiences. The food took a very long time coming out and the pasta dish that three of us had was very underwhelming. It lacked flavour or something making it just mediocre. However the flatbread we ordered as appetizers was delicious as were our drinks. Our waitress was very friendly and did an amazing job keeping us engaged.

    Portions were good, food was good, service from the kitchen was very slow. Our waitress was apologetic but it was over an hour to deliver our food.

    We booked this reservation for 10 people to celebrate Mother's Day and our Father's 83rd birthday. It was extremely busy however the service, food and ambiance was excellent. Everyone at our table was happy with their meal. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would come back for sure when we are in the area.

    Very delicious brunch! The yolk in my eggs Benedict wasn’t runny, but that wasn’t the end of the world. Still tasted delicious! The Naan breakfast sandwich was also delicious! The pear kombucha mocktail was 10/10!

    Food was pretty good however the service was quite poor. Close to a 90 min wait for our meal. Wine selection was terrible. Ordered 3 different wines that our table had to send back because of the awful quality. Wait staff was nice however was very slow to even get drinks resolved.

    Exceptional, attentive (but not annoying) service and delicious lunch offerings. Chicken or fish? You can have one of each! At lunch, it was busy but the noise was far from overwhelming. Great place to celebrate, catch up, and enjoy locally sourced, well executed dishes.

    Just got back from a fantastic dinner at Borealis (Kitchener) and what made it extra special was Luigi, our incredible waiter. We always ask to be seated in Luigi's area when making a reservation and this evening he went above and beyond. We were celebrating the 1 year anniversary of our father's passing (Borealis was his favourite restaurant) and Luigi sat with us for a minute to share memories. Thank you so much!!

    One of our favourite places to eat and celebrate special occasions. The food as usual was amazing and the service was exceptional. As usual our waiter Luigi made us feel special. We will continue to enjoy the ambiance of this amazing local restaurant and hopefully be in Luigi’s serving area!!!!
