    This was our first visit to Polpo and we loved it. Very good food and service. It being a dark winter night it was very cozy. Love that it is BYOB! My only suggestion would be to have a printed copy of the specials. There were far too many to remember the kind waiter’s descriptions.

    Flounder francese special and shrimp scampi with rigatoni were both delicious entrees. The brussels sprouts appetizer was fantastic. Good service. Overall, a great meal. Pricing is a little high but comparable to other fine dining.

    Always a great experience. Food is expertly prepared, specials are creative and abundant even during slow winter periods. Jordan is a professional and classic style waiter that provides impeccable service and plenty of compliments. Jordan always adds a dash of humor to round out a truly wonderful dining experience.

    Our server was very polite and attentive. The lobster bisque was very watery/thin and bland not thin not thick as usual with only croutons and no lobster pieces. The risotto was very good. The bread was very stale. I would return and try again
