It was my wife's birthday and I wanted to take her somewhere nice but feared that the usual restaurants like Mark's, Tony's etc. would be overpriced and the food would be so so. I wanted some place new and had heard about Polo's through some co-workers who go there for lunch. So I took a risk and we celebrated her birthday there this past weekend. I was, of course, very critical of everything. But to both of our surprise, the food, wine, desserts and yes, even the service was phenomenal! For the first time, we were greeted by the Chef, Polo, himself! I told him we were celebrating my wife's birthday and he made sure we got the attention we needed. He was so gracious and personable! I highly recommend the lobster tower salad with fresh sliced fruits (mango, papaya) or the mixed salad with roasted pears to start. I had the rib eye steak, which was cooked to perfection, and my wife chose a lighter dish a honey glazed salmon with crab meat risotto. The portions were actually bigger than most fine dining restaurants we've been too, which was great! All in all, I would highly recommend Polo's to anyone. My wife and I plan on being regulars there!
