Polo's Signature

polo's is awesome. the food, atmoshphere and location. you should go all the time to it...take a date, the family, or go by yourself! more

As a restaurateur, I truly appreciate a good meal when I get one! I would be remiss if I did not cascade the accolades to the restaurant and especially, the chef!!! At first glance, I was immediately drawn to the wonderful decor and attentive wait staff. The menu offered several choices that showcased the diversity and culinary level of the restaurant that would impress the most seasoned restaurateur. I can truly say, that the food was magnificent and the wine was elegantly paird. This was truly the perfect end to an evening for my fiance and I. Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing more

I just stumbled upon this site, and these reviews, and decided to start reading. I have to say that I'm appauled at the few that have submitted such negative remarks about this restaurant. It seems to me that alterior motives, rather than actual bad experiences, have inspired these reviews. For those looking for an honest opinion, this has been my experience so far: My wife and I dine at Polo's at least twice a month or so, and have never had anything short of a phenomenal evening under their care. We ate there for Valentine's this Saturday, and left the comfort of the dining room, with it's wonderful music, perfect lighting, and mouth-watering aromas, as blissfully satisfied customers yet again. Everything was great as usual. Definitiely worth noting are the 5-hour braised short ribs we were served as a first course. After having tasted this dish, I am thouroughly convinced that the gentlemen behind the glass in the chef's hats wield a degree of wizardry unmatched by anyone in the Greater Houston area. It was pure magic. Of course, as always, the wine was paired perfectly, and the service was friendly and expedient. All of this for a very fair price. If you are a lover of fine food, you must treat yourself to this absolute treasure of an experience. Pros: FOOD, wine, service, ambiance, pianist, etc, etc. Cons: Can't think of any. more

I wish I knew the right words to describe Polo's Signature Grill. Here are just a few: Awesome, Amazing, Great, Super...ect. Every time my girlfriend and I eat at Polo's it's a dining experience worth remembering. The wait staff is friendly, the atmosphere is elegant and the food is amazing. I suggest the five hour short ribs! They are one of the best things I have put in my mouth. As a repeat eater and fan of this place I suggest you try it! Pros: Great food, and ambience. Cons: Not easy on the pocket book. more

My husband and I just dined at Polo's for our New Year's Eve dinner. We had a 7:00 reservation, arrived at 6:15 and were seated immediately. The only problem was the waiter mumbled something about needing all the 4 top tables, so they gave us a tiny two top right by the front door. That was fine, until every time the door opened, we were greeted with a blast of cold air! He was near our table when this occurred and rushed out to ask the door man to cease and desist from keeping the door open so long for arriving guests. When we left, there were probably a dozen four top tables still empty, so I am not sure why we got the two top treatment. Another couple came in just as we were leaving and were given the two top next to us. They noticed right away the problem with the cold blasts of air, so I suggested they ask to move, which they did, and were given a nice four top in the private dining area. Erin, our waitress, was wonderful. The food was outstanding and I would go back again, for lunch or dinner. A suggestion to Polo's though, if you are going to seat people in the area near the front door, put up a nice screen or something decorative to block the wind. My meal was great, but the cold air was not! And if you have four tops available, please don't subject your customers to the tiny two top inches away from the two top next to you. Luckily no one was dining next to us or I would have felt like I should have been paying their bill! more

Best overall dining experience i have had in a while! The atmosphere is inspiring, with perfect lighting, sleek yet sutle decor, and just the right level of live piano music in the background. The Food was out of this world. So full of flavors and different textures. This place is not all presentation...The flavor and substance make the dish, not only the look. The wine list is top notch, and the manager did a great job properly pairing our dinner throughout each course. Service at our table was on point as well. There when we needed, and away when not wanted. I also appreciate it when multiple servers attend my table throughout the dinner. Keep Up The Great Work Polos Signature!!! Pros: food, service, parking Cons: non more

In a nutshell--the worst waitstaff, worst host, and worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have never been more infuriated by the restaurant's demeanor. The manager was not helpful at all. The food was good. The drinks were decent. I will not pay that amount for good food and terrible service. Pros: Good menu. Good drinks. Cons: Horrible customer service. Untrained waitstaff. more

The food was excellent! The best thing was I have an allergy to gluten, which is severe. They took it very seriously and said they were prepared to make any of their menu items to my specifications (no flour or grains) Dining out frequently, my husband and I get tired of having to continuously explain what gluten is and why I can't have it. Pros: Ambiance, service and work with allergies Cons: None noted more

While I was initially skeptical of this restuarant due to the strip mall location, my fears were completely erased by the time my first dish arrived. Simply put, Polo is a fantastic restaurant that combines top notch food and service. With respect to the cuisine, I thoroughly enjoyed the chef's tasting menu.....each dish was of the highest quality and exquisitely presented. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and never missed a beat. I would unequivocally rate Polo as one of the top 5 restaurants in Houston......I wish them all the best. Pros: Cuisine, Service, Wine List, Parking Cons: Glowing wall in the front of the restaurant more

Chef Adam is Outstanding!!! After years of understudy, he's is showing his skills! The wine list is good and priced right. The service is always on top everything! Thank you Polo and Chef Adam! more

Great wine dinner Pros: Great Service Great Food Cons: None more

This was really nice, the food was good, but there wasn't much to choose from on the menu. The Filet Mignon with Anna Potatoes was amazing! Also, the chocolate molten cake and apple cinnamon tart were delicious! The service was great too. I didn't like the atmosphere, everything was black and white, except for these lights that changed colors. We requested songs to the piano player, but he couldn't play much. Great restaraunt overall. Pros: Great food Cons: Strange atmosphere more

The Filet mignon, was not that, it was a hunk of meat that wasnt cooked, the vegetable portions (sides) were so small it was one bite. The shrimp empanadas were fried stuff shrimp. I paid 50.00 dollars for this stuff. Had it delivered through take out taxi. I This place is awful! more

Service couldn't be better. The food...what can I say. The new chef, Adam Puskorius, is an up and coming star in the restaurant business. My companions even called their husbands, who are visiting New England, to tell them that they won't find lobster as good as this chefs. And the stuffed quail...all I can say is "Thanks Polo Signature for a great experience" Ask to meet Adam when you visit!! He's a delite. more

Polo and Jon Paul, what a great team!!!! Polo's unique and delicious gastronomic creations have made him the stellar chef and entrepreneur he is today. Try the too-die-for mushroom soup. Jon Paul's keen eye for detail reminds me of the late Camille who ran a tight ship at the old Maxim's. The champagne is perfectly chilled, the waitstaff attentive, and the ambience is the best. The high-energy packed dining room is so NY. I love that Shay, the piano player from the old Tony's is playing there, and thanks to the lighting that gradually changes colors in the main dining area you will always look fabulous...unless of course you are not properly dressed and then I hope you are gracious enough to eat in the bar. Don't miss out on this fabulous tour de force. Pros: Ambience, Food, Service Cons: None more

you have to try this place! great fine dining experience... with great food. beautiful restaurant. very convenient location. Pros: food, service, atmosphere Cons: not good for kids more

my review is simple but honest I have been several times at post oak grill but also many, many times at Polos with friends, business lunches etc. The service is great they try to make you feel at home and provide you with first class service. The food excellent an amazing combination of flavors and fabulous presentation, Chef Polo will take the time to visit and greet his clients making sure every body is having a good time and if you want the best personal attention take my recommendation ask for Jean Paul he will make sure you have the best experience at POLOS SIGNATURE . more

I have dined at Polo's several times now since its been under the new management of Jon Paul (previously at Sabor/1308 and Tony's for 16 years) and have had a very good experience. Parking is easy and you don't have to use valet, but its available. I suggest making a reservation if you want to dine on a Friday or Saturday, but otherwise one isn't necessary. ((((Also, just a note, it is not open on Sundays for brunch despite what this website says))) The bar is beautiful with leather seating and small tables and a flat screen tv, but the restaurant is even more beautiful with white tablecloths and comfortable chairs, great service, and live piano at night. The menu has a lot of selection and the daily specials are always very good. The special on appetizers are actually $1.95 during happy hour which isn't bad at all if you want to snack before grabbing the table. Expect to spend a few hours at your table though, since it is fine dining its normal to go through 3 courses at lunch and 4 courses at dinner. (the lunch menu is definately the best in town) And the bar is nice to sit and have a few more drinks after dinner. Pros: everything Cons: closed sat morning and sundays more

I have dined at the best establishments in the world. I shall never return to "Polo"s". The service was slow and rude. We were mostly ignored the entire night. Very costly for such poor service. more

We were really looking forward to trying Polo's. We had a 7:30 reservation and was finally seated at 8:00. This was the beginning of a long evening. After sitting for 15 minutes we asked for our waiter and got an attitude. Finally ordered a wedge salad and entree, salad was wilted and looked sad. Got the salad about 9:00 and finally gave up on the rest of the meal about 9:40. We have dined several times in Napa, New York City, and Houston in the last couple of weeks and this was the worst service we have experienced in a long time. We really thought the staff was testing us to see how long it would be before we gave up, they won, two hours and ten minutes before we left. Pros: Nice decor Cons: Poor service more
