Borealis Grille & Bar (Guelph)

2nd time at this location and again the service was not the best. Had to wait over 30 minutes for the food. Love the mushroom rigatoni but we will not be back.

Beef burger was dry, Steak was undercooked and chicken burger did not stay together. Quality seems to be dropping from the past. Fans were on too high and it took 10 minutes for someone to find controls. Didn't offer to relocate to different room.

I went to Borealis to have dinner and to reconnect with friends I had not seen in four or five years. The food was very good but the staff and service were very, very good. Given my age and reliance on hearing aids, the ambient noise level was higher than I would have preferred but all-in-all a very positive experience. Thanks for an excellent time.

We came here for Thanksgiving dinner, the food was good, as well as the service. Would come back again! My only complaint is there was an odd odor to the restaurant which I couldn't put my finger on!

Well today while in Guelph we decided stop on see what the restaurant was about. Was greeted with the do you have a reservation! Fully understand that. While the hostess was off prepping a table..I wandered into the bar. It was empty! Asked we could get a table there and was rudely told..My table is being cleaned and to basically wait! FOLLOWED by I needed to wait! Now there was no one waiting ! Asked about the empty tables and was directed to sit at the bar! Honestly with empty tables why? NO RESERVED SIGNS

I travel alot and never have I had anyone use a rude tone!

Great tasting food, well prepared with fresh ingredients

Borealis Grille in Guelph is the perfect lunch spot. We sat outside, enjoying the friendly and timely service from the staff. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious—I’d highly recommend this restaurant. However, the one downside was a strong sewage smell when entering the facility, which a business associate recalled experiencing during a visit back in 2018 as well. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved, but overall, the dining experience was excellent.

What an evening Dog patio party ? the first time we took our MJ to a restaurant we didn't expect for her to be treated with kindness more bars and grills should have an area open for pets too.

Everything is local!! I love it. The menu clearly describes how far away the ingredients come from. It's pretty cool. It's a must try if you are in the area.

Just came back from their Thanksgiving service and everything was wonderful! From the service to the food, everything was great. Tamara (our server) was delightful and turkey was tender and delicious. We were informed that it had been sitting in a brine for three days and it definitely tasted like it. Great time overall!

Nice place , clean and friendly atmosphere. At the time of our visit (group of 6 adults and 1 kid) there was not a lot of people, so we really enjoyed the calm.

Great food and great service but we were sat in a huge booth meant for 6 people which made it a bit awkward for date night
