I wouldn't say "very good" but rather above average. The a la carte restaurant service is what really makes the Polaris restaurant different. But the menu is small (similar to the menu in the *A F-section), service can be very sloooooow and food is OKish. On our last visit, 3 of the 4 items we received, including fish & chips, were well below the quality of an average off-airport restaurant.
True, the Polaris lounge is only crowded before the UA flights (particularly morning and evening).
