Borealis Grille & Bar (Kitchener)

Delicious food and stellar service! We visited Borealis Grille & Bar in Kitchener today for a belated birthday celebration for our son. The restaurant had a great vibe and atmosphere. We sat inside, but the patio looked nice from the large wall of windows. All of the staff were warm and welcoming, and our server, Luigi, was exceptional! He was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu. He had a good sense of humour and seemed to enjoy interacting with guests, even as the restaurant became busier. The menu offered locally sourced options and a variety of selections, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan choices. We ordered Barrie’s Farm Nachos, Blackened Chicken Taco Salads, and Cheddar Burgers. The prices were reasonable with good portion sizes. The food was delicious, timely, and well-presented and the homemade iced tea was refreshing. Overall, we had a great experience and will visit again when in the area. Thanks again for birthday wishes Luigi! Cheers! Luana :)

We just had my birthday dinner here with my husband, parents and grandmother and I will recommend it to everyone. Our server Luigi started with the history of the building, and had us laughing in minutes with his charming anecdotes from Italy. It was like we got entertainment with our dinner… it was so memorable. The food was delicious, we all had different meals and did not have one complaint. Smoked pork chops, battered fish and chips, prime rib and blackened chicken taco salad. Being my birthday I was given a free dessert and they even accommodated my gluten allergy with a flourless chocolate brownie in cherry sauce. Absolutely delicious. But Luigi charmed us, left us absolutely breathless with laughter and swept my grandma off her feet by walking her out and serenading her in Italian. She said she’d never had so much fun. We are full of gratitude and I hope someone can share that video with me of the serenade :) Book your visit now and request Luigi!! You won’t regret it.
