Borealis Grille & Bar (Guelph)

Delicious food. Inviting ambiance.

Steak meal was wonderful. Lots of flavor. Perfectly cooked. Chicken tacos were filling and tasty - opted for spicy sauce on the side, which was a good move - when in doubt, control your distribution! Salad appetizer was fresh, and it wasn't overwhelmed by dressing or by garlic. Cornbread was a tad too sweet for my liking, probably because of the honey, luckily the garlic butter spread helped balance the flavour - adding salt made it yummy. Btw, they have course salt in the table. Classy.

Decor was relaxed and enjoyable. Seats were comfy. One improvement would definitely be for them to change the lighting directly over tables. A bit harsh for evenings, IMO. Or at least change bulbs to warm white (not sure they were) or, better yet, hue lights on a warmer setting. We did spot a few tables without the bright lights so we will ask for those tables in future.

Will definitely be back.

Make sure Tamara serves you! Order an Arnold Palmer and the Smokey burger! You won't be disappointed! Great atmosphere and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back!!!

I celebrated my friend’s birthday at here. We enjoyed a impressive dinner! Fish chips and fries is good but the fish size is small. It’s much smaller than the size I ate from other restaurants. Last time, I went to a restaurant in Peterborough. That restaurant offered a big size plate of fish chips but the same price as this restaurant. Chicken bowl is not salty but carrots need to cook longer. I ordered The Old Smoky burger, which is one of my favorite dishes. The beef is juicy but a little bit salty. I think most of burger’s beef is a little bit salty. I love fries!
Maybe because it was a busy dinner time, Service didn’t add water timely...

Great Thanksgiving dinner. Service was excellent. Turkey was moist. Cranberry sauce could have been sweeter. Overall great value and food.

Went here for dinner with my parents a few weeks ago. We went for the wing deal on Tuesday's=$10/pound. The wings were really good and crispy. They also had $6 sleeman pints on special that night. I also ordered their Fried chicken tacos and they were very good. You get 3 vs 2 which is nice. Highly recommend this place!
