Yasaman MahdianAugust 29, 2018Love it love it love it! Gorgeous cafe with amazing cocktails. The bartender was super nice and pro. I love this place for a date night or even hanging with your friends.
- Brad GaroonApril 23, 2015The Polo Bar burger is a perfectly enjoyable steakhouse burger. The Black Angus patty is high quality, and the flavor is what I’ve come to expect from steakhouses that serve hamburgers. Read more
Rubén GarcíaDecember 24, 2017Upscale in an UES kind of way (lots of wood and older people in bowties), but with surprisingly good food. Crab cakes and warm kale and mushroom salad were excellent. Skip the pigs in a blanket.

The Wall Street JournalDecember 3, 2014Paris’s haute société loves heading to the Boulevard Saint-Germain to devour juicy bacon cheeseburgers at the most American of locales—Ralph Lauren’s chic restaurant. Opening this fall. Read more
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantMay 21, 2019Far exceeded my expectations. Food was delicious, service great and the ambiance is amazing. It is pricey and an incredible hassle to get a reservation.
- Ahu RagusinMay 5, 2017This place is an incredibly chic American Style Restaurant and bar. The food is delicious. Tuna tartar, lobster salad and calamari are highly recommended!
Fancy comfort food. Can't really go wrong here! Reuben sandwich and the burger are popular orders.
hania albraikanMarch 5, 2018One of the best burger in NYC , my order was calamari ,caesar salad and soup.all of them were good ,atmosphere is awesome, highly recommend restaurant 👌🏼👌🏼
NicoleFebruary 20, 2015You need a reservation just to get in the door. Well-dressed gentlemen will ask for the name on your reservation, even if you want to sit at the bar. It's a small space that fills up quickly, so call.
Todd HamiltonApril 4, 2016Like going back in time to the 1980s; I view that as a good thing. Great to have a cocktail at the bar before heading down to dinner. Food was good but the star of the experience was the ambiance.
Paula BuzzoAugust 27, 2017Absolutely wonderful time here, great ambience, the staff very courteous and professional and the food was amazing. My Salmon and veggies came exactly like I order.
- Dan LadnerJanuary 17, 2016Absolutly one of the best scenes currently , who's who , great food and classy atmosphere .. Have the manhattan if you enjoy scotch it has a large ice cube and a miniature polo stick ...awesome!!!
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019Reservations will definitely need to be made in advance, but you can enjoy a meal or cocktails at the bar. All the food is delightful, but the steak is a must!
Sara KafkaMarch 19, 2015Great food and drinks. Definitely a little stuffy with the clientele. If you have tattoos or dress little casually you might feel a little out of place. Think rich Florida golf club
Norman EllisMay 15, 2016You're going for the great service and the ambiance. Go with a group, stick to the burger, sandwiches and cocktails and have fun!
Sam WinnickJuly 13, 2015Amazing restaurant, beautiful decor, perfect service and awesome food. The burger is incredible and the steak is great too.
Céline BossartSeptember 6, 2017Get the burger and an old fashioned. The bartenders upstairs are super nice too, so maybe get your digestif and dessert up there after you’ve finished the main course.- Jackson IsaacsonFebruary 23, 2016The Old Fashioned is one of the best in NYC. Along with the food and the bar's stuffed fried olives, you'll leave happy.
The New YorkerMarch 18, 2015“For the average Joe who snags an off-hours reservation by calling a month in advance, the Polo Bar is like Disneyland for celebrity gawkers.” Read more
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 11, 2017Prime rib dinner- the BURGER. Best corned beef sandwich of all time (a must-order!)
Everything about this place is perfect. Polo Burger and an old fashioned are a must.
Dani AaronJanuary 16, 2016Filet mignon, fries, mini hot dogs, BLT salad, coffee ice cream, chocolate layer cake
Darren KDecember 26, 2022Atmosphere, food, service. If you’re a nobody like me, it’s one of the hardest reservations in the city. But I persevered and got one!- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018The popovers are delicious. A bit harder to get into, but you can enjoy a meal or cocktails at the Bar. The main dining area is OK, but overall a bit dim.

Tulin ESeptember 16, 2017Hamburgers, fish, signature drinks, especially i like "tuna tartare" and salads...
- Jordan MMarch 25, 2017Two great combos: a burger & a glass of champagne / the Polo salad & a dirty martini.
Matthew Swanburg WilliamsApril 14, 2019Get there a bit early for fried olives and spiced nuts at the bar. Stay later to finish your wine in the parlour.
Without question the best restaurant on this side of the Milky Way. Anything on this menu is to die for...
AmateurConciergeJuly 10, 2015So they're pretentious and overpriced, but the place has the makings of a Manhattan institution. Nothing to wow you (burgers solid) but you'll be pleased with whatever you order. Skip the shoestring
Avgi KariotiApril 11, 2016I wish food was at the same level as the decoration of this place!it's ok, but you have higher expectations entering into a restaurant like this!!service was great,staff was really friendly!
Stavria K.June 14, 2018One of the best restaurants in NYC. Take the well known steak, champagne and that's it. Say Cheers to Ralph and Time to relax 😎
Gary TorielloJanuary 10, 2015"Old Fashioned" - Jefferson's Very Small Batch Bourbon, Demerara sugar, Angostura bitters, Wormwood syrup
- Bruce TilleyJanuary 30, 2015The Polo Bar is the Ralph Lauren posh new restaurant and bar. Great place!
Augusto LimaAugust 21, 2015This is really about the ambience. The food is there to back it up, but it's really about see and be seen.- Gary TorielloJanuary 10, 2015"Fred & Ginger" - Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky Zacapa Rum, Remy Martin Cognac, cinnamon
Aeolian-Skinner Princess PastoreJanuary 25, 2017Get your Polo on and go to this gem of a golden restaurant!
Ana MarinsSeptember 22, 2015Great atmosphere. Old NY glamour mixed with Ralph Lauren style. Amazing.
Ashley ReinerJanuary 16, 2015They have a vegetarian menu!! And Ralph's usually just walkin' around..
