Diner Reviews
  • "Polo is a favorite of ours. Always first rate. great bread! service is impeccable. Wonderful menue. soups are delicious!!"
    Dined on 3/9/2014
  • "The Polo Grill has been a Tulsa favorite for decades, but the food keeps pace with the best of nouvelle cuisine. Everything was perfect, from the seared tuna "amuse bouche", olives and perfect breads, through the lobster/shrimp bisque, all of our entrees (sea bass, salmon "tamale", frenched chicken, pork chop, and redfish) to the creme brulee. The service was impeccable. It is very refreshing to have a wonderful dinner at a restaurant that is quiet enough to have a good conversation without having to raise one's voice. On this cold, snowy night, the warm and cozy ambiance was perfect."

  • "Food and service was exceptional. It was a special menu for Valentine's weekend, and each course and the service was A+."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Steak was delicious but overpriced; service was below average and mixed drink I ordered they could not get it right so I sent it back and stuck with wine."
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "Food was good but service was lacking. It appeared that we were irritating one of our wait staff. We remembered the same guy being irritated last year when we were in town to eat. Will not be our first choice next year. Food was great but for 500.00 bones for two people I think I should be leaving with a "you got to eat here". Also didn't appreciate the 20% gratuity attached to my initial bill!!!!! I should pay gratuity off of service not an assumption."

  • "You will not find a better dining experience in Tulsa."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Great food and service! Our only surprise was they were only offering the tasting menu for Valenines. No choices on what to order. $100 a person was more than we expected."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Very disappointed that there was no music on Valentines Day Weekend! place seemed very flat with no atmosphere. The excuse, "Our music box isn't working" just didn't seem adequate when you're dropping over $200 for dinner! I'm sure it's different most of the time, but the night we were there, you missed the mark. We'll look elsewhere."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The Polo Grill is one of the very best restaurants in America. Please do not pass up the opportunity to dine here when you are in Tulsa. I've never experienced better, anywhere! As good as, maybe, but not better."

  • "This place has been one of my favorites for years. Always polite. Always top notch service. Excellent bar and cuisine."

  • "My husband and I recently dined at Polo Grill. Our table was comfortable and romantic. The service was outstanding. Our waiter provided wonderful suggestions and kept our wine glasses topped off. The entire staff worked together to make sure that we were taken care of and then left to enjoy our meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice romantic evening or an intimate dinner with friends."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Being from out of town it was not the easiest place to find but well worth the effort. Great food and very attentive service. I had the special and the Meditteranean sea bass was well done. We finished the meal with a cheese plate and coffee. We were well satisfied."
    Dined on 1/9/2014
  • "I've been here for multiple occasions and it's never been short of spectacular."
    Dined on 1/9/2014
  • "We chose Polo Grill to help us celebrate our anniversary on New Years Eve. They had a $75 a person special for the Holiday. The wife is not able to eat a full meal, so the people at Polo's split the meal for us. The food was delightful and the service was the best."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Had dinner at 10pm. Staff was unprofessional. Expected a much better steak for $70. Worst restaurant in Utica Square. Don't waste your money."
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "Our Server was as wonderful as could be!!! She made My wife's experience, when I asked her to marry me, a once-in-a-lifetime event that we will remember always. She accommodated by taking pictures and appreciating the significance of the event. The food was even greater than could be possibly expected!!!"

  • "I grew up going to Utica Square at Christmas time to look at the Nutcracker displays. My husband had never been at Christmas and i hadn't been since I was a child. We decided to make an evening of it and researched the restaurants and decided on the Polo Grill. I am so happy we did. It is a little hard to find tucked away in that quaint corner, but that is part of what gives it the charm it has. The ambiance was wonderful from the time we walked through the door. The service was great and the food some of the best I have had. The lobster bisque was so buttery and warm I would go back for that alone. The newyork strip melts in your mouth and the key lime pie was perfect. Needless to say we will be going back for another visit soon."
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "At my request, I had a bottle of champaign and flowers waiting at table. They were so friendly and formal. They even gave us a complementary glass of champaign at dessert. I had the venison, it was incredible!"
    Dined on 12/16/2013
  • "This was the first time for brunch at the Polo Grill and it was a pleasant surprise. The food & service was outstanding, we will be back."
    Dined on 12/15/2013
  • "The service was a tiny bit slow at first but then it picked up & had the right tempo throughout the rest of our dinner. Our main waiter was wonderful & very knowledgeable about the restaurant history & the food. We had a complete meal, from the Fried Polo Calamari, Tomato Bisque, Sugar Beet Salad, Red Fish, to the Chocolate Mousse & the House Baked Fudge, & in general everything was wonderful from beginning to end. The House Made Chocalate (small bites) were the "bomb". The drinks were made to perfection & the wine (white) was great. We were there for a bout 2 hrs & enjoyed every bit of it. All in all the atmosphere was very good, it felt comfortable, the wait staff was pleasant & professional, & the food very memorable. We will be back!"
    Dined on 11/30/2013
  • "We went for a special occasion. Service was lacking and steaks were scorched on the outside. We will go somewhere else to celebrate next time."
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "We were in Tulsa for the marathon and chose this restaurant on open table prior to our visit. We travel all over the country for races and unlike most marathoners, we skip the pasta dinner and choose fine dining with steak and good wine. This is one of the best choices I have ever made while traveling. The service was impeccable, the wine list was exceptional and the food was outstanding. The beet salad was delicious and we both loved the steak special which was blackened with a blue cheese sauce. I even splurged on the calorie count and ordered the creme brulee, and I was glad that I did. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Tulsa."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "Always great food and wine. We have had several servers there, and they are all nice and professional. I give this place a 4.5/5 overall. The steaks are all cooked to perfection, whether rare, medium rare, medium...however you like it. The scene is very quiet with dimmed lighting with a 45+ age crowd. The restaurant is one of the classiest places in Tulsa and the staff tries to make everyone feel special."
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "The wait staff if friendly and is happy to see you. Sets the mood quickly to enjoy your meal with friends. the restaurant is not overly loud and the food was very good, although the menu is somewhat limited. We will go back Very nice dinner experience."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "The food and ambiance were very nice, as we expect of Polo Grill. Our waiter seemed unsure of himself. When our drinks were brought, my son had to ask for a glass for his beer; it came with water in the bottom that had to be poured out. When he got his second beer, same problem - had to pour out the water. After our appetizers, salads & entrees, 2 of us ordered dessert, our son ordered Irish coffee, which was forgotten. Had to ask for it again. Maybe they were training someone on a Wednesday night; if so, he needed someone trailing him to oversee."
    Dined on 11/12/2013
  • "As always, our dining experience was excellent. Polo Grill is always or go to for a special occasion. Food is great and service is always impeccable....best staff in Tulsa."
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • "Other than the amuse bouche, which wasn't worth the chef's effort, the food was very good - wedge salad was perfectly sized - not a gigantic head of lettuce and little dressing that I encounter much too frequently. French chicken was moist and flavorful as was the BBQ pork chop. Wine list was ok. Wines we were familiar with seemed a bit high; many wines we didn't know. Our waiter was excellent - pleasant, appropriately attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and foods, and otherwise not intrusive. Loved the atmosphere: cozy little place, not loud, good balance of well-lit table in a generally darker surrounding. Would definitely return."
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • "This was my first time to have brunch at Polo Grill and it did not disappoint! There were four of us and all the food was so wonderful! We will definitely be back!"
    Dined on 11/3/2013
  • "Though 3 of the 4 in our party ordered and enjoyed steaks, I ordered the swordfish and was bowled over by it's perfectly cooked and outstanding flavor. And the Key Lime Pie was delicious as well!"
    Dined on 11/1/2013
  • "My husband and I went here for the first time for our one year anniversary. It was very romantic and the food was great. One of the best steaks we have ever had. The server was very nice and helpful and gave us a great experience. If you want to find a place that is very quiet and romantic for your and your significant other, this is the place. The Chef also gave us a glass of complimentary champagne for our first time being there. It's nice to see a restaurant that actually cares about their guests. What a great perk for the restaurant business! I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends."

  • "old school class! great food, great ambiance and great service one of the only places in Tulsa with any character never fails to disappoint"
    Dined on 10/22/2013
  • "We had a group of 6 which seemed a little big for the table at which we were seated. The wait staff was extremely courteous but just a little slow. It did seem to take a long time between when we ordered our salads and they were actually placed in front of us. The atmosphere was quiet and made for easy conversation. The food was outstanding and prepared just as ordered. Portion sizes were appropriate and left us room to sample dessert and coffee afterwards. Overall an exceptional experience. Pretty pricey for every day but great for special occassions."
    Dined on 10/16/2013
  • "My girlfriend and I came here on our first date. Since we are college students who don't have a lot of money to spend regularly, we decided to make it a tradition to come in once a year on our anniversary. Each time has been better than the last, and the restaurant takes care of you like no other. I work at a fine dining restaurant, and I will say this is the best restaurant in Oklahoma for food and service, hands down."
    Dined on 10/11/2013
  • "One of Tulsa's best. Impressive, elegant atmosphere and warm staff. Don't miss this gem!"
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "The meals are so quickly that we believed they were already prepared. If we would like to have a fast food meal, we probably should go to McDonald's. Expecting more than 5 minutes for the Chef's cuisine might give flavor, joy and a romantic experience. We ordered fish. It was so flavorless that I thought it was chicken!! My husband had to order twice for the complementary bread, the waiter didn't tell us the chef's recommendation. It was too fast, no flavor and too blunt for us. We don’t mind to have an expensive dinner, but at least should be worth it. We don't drink and I believe when you starting with a plain glass of water some places might think that you are too cheap for them. Being healthy should be an example nowadays."
