Required reservations to get in, and they don't let you in otherwise. Upstairs as you wait for a table, you can get warmed nuts, deep fried olives, and chips that are quite good at the bar.\n\nDownstairs dining is limited to a strict time. Seating and area decorated with lots of wood and horse paintings and drawings.\n\nReuben appetizer was good, as was the dover sole with lemon butter sauce. The Caesar salad was ok, and the crabcake disappointed (the weird bird-nest like outside fell apart and didn't give it much consistency).  Burger looked good but was somewhat undercooked, only one pickle for the table to share the quartered burger. Dessert sundae was good. Chocolate cake too dry.\n\nOverall service was ok, but ushered us out quickly - they really try to stick to the time. Will I be back? Maybe if invited, but probably won't be here as a first choice.","rating":3,"time_description":"4 months ago"},{"author":"Kevin Joyce","text":"Ralph Lauren built The Polo Bar underneath his flagship store on East 55th Street and it is exactly what you would expect from the man who turned American style into a global brand. Dark wood leather banquettes equestrian art and a menu that reads like the greatest hits of American comfort food elevated to a level that justifies the price tag. The burger is one of the best in New York full stop. The crab cake is lump meat minimal filler perfectly seared. The wedge salad is classic and generous. Everything on this menu says we know what you want and we are going to give it to you done right. The crowd is a mix of Upper East Side regulars tourists who know what they are looking for and celebrities who come because nobody bothers them here. The bar area is always full and the cocktails are strong and well-made. What Lauren understood that most restaurateurs miss is that atmosphere is not decoration it is identity. Every detail in this room from the napkins to the light fixtures tells the same story and that consistency is what makes great brands and great restaurants. The service is warm and attentive they treat a couple on a date night the same as a table of executives. That democracy of experience is rare and valuable. The Polo Bar does not need to be trendy. It is timeless. And timeless always wins.","rating":5,"time_description":"5 months ago"}]},"attached":false}
