Pro tips
Try C123 when Polaris is packed
If you also have United Club access, the club near Gate C123 can be a better place to relax when Polaris has no free seats. Use Polaris for its dining room and cocktails, then consider C123 for more space.
A quiet dining room can still be slow
Check the dining-room wait with the host before settling in, and allow time for the food after you are seated. Even with the room nearly empty, a breakfast omelette took about 30 minutes; a separate late-afternoon visit had a 30-minute wait just for a table.
