We always save the Polo Bar for our last night in the City! It never disappoints. The wait staff is always so respectful and friendly. The food was divine. And, as always, it’s a great place to people watch. Can’t wait to return!

I cannot recommend the Polo Bar enough. My boyfriend and I (not famous in any way) happened to dine at the Polo Bar the same night as a number of big name celebrities. There was absolutely no fuss and we felt equally as important and valued to our servers as anyone else in the restaurant. Food was also divine, I highly recommend the chocolate cake :) Thank you, Polo Bar, for a terrific experience.

Very nice location, very good burger with lots of fries. The cheesecake tastes great and comes with fresh strawberries. Pricing is pretty reasonable. Service pays good attention and is very handsome. A nice place, especially for poloplayers.

this place is a hoot! i have always wanted to go, but being there made me wish i was straight edge... can't believe that drinks can be over $30! however, the decor and the popovers help provide a bit more value to an otherwise fun and delicious, yet overpriced, whitebread new york experience.

I was very disappointed to say the least about my dinner here. The atmosphere was disappointing and I couldn't believe that the family sitting in front of me had their kid playing video game on his iPad at the dinner table. It was horrible and the couple sitting beside me was weird, anytime they coughed she kept apologizing that they didn't have any disease or nothing, it wasn't like I said anything to them. The food wasn't great, only the cocktail was good. Overall, based that you had to have a reservation to get in here and then you see this, it's appalling. Places that don't require such a strict reservation policy have better class of people as patrons than this place. I wouldn't go back or recommend it.
