The Polo Bar

The room at this Ralph Lauren restaurant is cozy and grand, high-end cocktails flow, vintage jazz music sets the mood, scores of horse-country pictures adorn the walls, while the service staff is both well-mannered and very well groomed. With a menu that veers to the center of the road, an aged rib-eye or breaded veal chop are sure-win bets, as are more casual comfort foods like the Polo burger. The parlor room has a reception area upstairs and a clubby dining room below.
