The Polo Lounge

We went on a Thursday to See EDDIE SESSA perform, which was of course wonderful as Always. We were very happy with the Food. It all Tasted amazing & was different then other places. Our waiter Oscar was incredible. & Of Course we stated & Ended with the amazing Mike at the bar. Can't wait to go back again on a Thursday or Friday.

Had dinner here to celebrate a birthday. The service was amazing and the ambience felt like I went back in time. I loved it! The live music was wonderful, the drinks were great and the food was delicious. Will definitely come back!

I’ve been to this spot countless times, and it never fails to deliver an amazing experience! An old school vibe is always lively, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit memorable. The live music is a standout—always top-notch, with talented performers . The music perfectly complements the vibrant crowd. The staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun night out with great tunes and a fantastic food and ambiance!

Very quaint setting. Our waiter was very nice. We didn’t feel rushed, we’re able to really enjoy the time to enjoy the food and company. There was live music.

My wife and I went here for the first time last night. Absolutely beautiful. Felt like we were going back in time. I don’t just mean the decor, the food, the service, the music, everything was just better. Frank, one of the managers helped us to arrange the perfect table near the music. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating. The food was top-notch from beginning to end. And the music, a fantastic musician played all of our favorites from Sinatra and the American songbook. Sad that we discovered this place so late in life but happy that we can enjoy it now. We will definitely be back.

We visited the restaurant for my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, it turned into an excessively long dining experience, with us spending nearly 3 hours there. Our meals weren't properly prepared, resulting in dishes arriving at different times - even the desserts came out staggered. It would have been beneficial if the waiter had written down our orders instead of attempting to memorize them, as this led to errors. When we expressed our concerns about the slow service, the wait staff responded with a somewhat dismissive attitude.

Music service great food. Fun celebrations. Definitely worthy of a special occasion.

The food was delicious, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. They surprised us with a complimentary glass of champagne for our anniversary and even gave us the chance to stroll through their garden at the end of dinner. It was romantic and yet great for a low key group gathering at the same time. I would highly recommend!

Gorgeous decorations, great service, amazing food. Totally fabulous experience and will definitely be back.

One of my worst experiences while in New York!!! The front person was terrible no customer service whatsoever. Never will I go there again just terrible!!!

- place used to be so good before Covid - setting was more spacious, service was more personal - I went on a Saturday night, environment was very crowded and less personal - staff was very frantic and always appeared to be in a rush - good seemed mass produced and inauthentic - steak was flavorless - as was mashed potatoes - broccoli was broccoli - I liked the French onion soup - salads were alright - showtunes and live band was cool on a Saturday night - drinks were well made - we paid $350 for bill, but did not get a $350 experience

We dined here with our friends who are getting married at Westbury Manor in the fall. Dim lighting and lively music really set a wedding vibe! We started off with an order of baked clams and burrata. delicious! For my meal I had the truffle gnocchi. Wow. So fresh and delicious! We ended the night with cremé burgled and the apple crumb. Also awesome!

The Polo lounge at Westbury Manor is just like walking back into time to at least the 1940s. A Beautiful old quaint, inviting, warm, friendly restaurant with the most comforting atmosphere as well as the most delicious food you'll ever be served! All the wait staff and the restaurant staff are flawless and their service is impeccable! They always make you feel welcome and like it's your second home. To me I hope that when I get to heaven it looks like the Polo lounge, Not Kidding. They're all booths no tables and there are those beautiful red booths with wood trim that go in really deep and are really comfy to sit in. The waiters make many of the dishes on the side of your table including some of the salads and do it the old-fashioned way like Caesar salad. The bar is huge and it's round. Mikey the bartender is Always smiling and remembers everyone's name. He is the best. Francesco is the maître d' but he runs that restaurant with a fine tooth comb and there's nothing in that restaurant that he doesn't or won't do. He works harder than anyone there. He's got a dynamite personality and all the people that go there to eat love him and always look for him when they come in. He's incredibly accommodating and personable. The desserts are all homemade in the kitchen. They're really good about improvising if you would like some changes made on the menu. My favorite is the mixed wild mushrooms that I have with pasta. And for a salad I'll have some fresh mozzarella with tomato. they have a lovely happy hour and live music always including a pianist 5 days a week starting at 6 o'clock. They're closed on Sundays and Mondays. If you haven't tried the Polo lounge restaurant yet you must try it at some point. find a reason you won't be disappointed

3.5 stars. A beautiful and elegant restaurant and lounge, with a classy vibe, though I couldn't shake off the awareness it is just a little ancillary offshoot of a huge catering hall. Although the advertised open time is 4:00 PM, when we arrived at 4:40 the bartender and others were doing stocking and other prep-type work that really detracted from the atmosphere. Big cardboard boxes on top of the bar, you know, and a feeling they were still cleaning up from the night before. He was polite and friendly enough, and we were served our drinks promptly but were also advised they don't start serving food till 5:00 on Saturdays. We further learned there are times that they would be closed off for a cocktail hour in advance of a scheduled reception or other event. But, most weekdays they are also open for lunch. Huh? Website doesn't mention that? Well they don't promote it but they have a lot of regulars who come in. ?? Based on all the above, the hours seem to be in a state of flux, so this is not a spur of the moment place but you'd better call ahead to find out the situation. Which is too bad, as this is the type of place I'd love to just drop in. Things were settled down by 5:30 or so, the barkeep set out nice baskets of chips and pretzels, and about 9 more people had come in to sit at the bar. All were casually dressed as were we. I had the Finocchio salad (a lovely flavor and texture blend as well as presentation; very creamy and tangy, though they really should throw in a small baguette or something to help push it on the fork) and the Sea Scallop small plate- which is a solitary, but enormous, scallop atop whipped potatoes in truffle sauce. Sprig of fresh dill was the perfect contrast flavor pop. I think I'd love a larger version of this dish. Richard had 1/2 dozen oysters that he found delightful - all of them big, but at $2.50 apiece we thought overpriced. These were followed by the star of the show-lamb chop. Exquisite, medium rare, delicious and an extremely satisfying small plate that he'd definitely order again! I enjoyed my Vodka Collins which was strong and tasty, but I was ticked that it was served in a stem glass not a Collins glass. The entrance to the restaurant is a large open doorway right off the main entry foyer. Since it's not closed off, I found that sitting at the bar I was very aware of the formally-dressed partygoers of all ages coming and going to their reception or whatever, which only amplified that feeling I described at the beginning. Maybe the lounge regulars get used to it? Maybe we just picked an awkward time to visit. Would like to give it another try maybe on a weeknight.

We were invited to a small surprise birthday party of a dear friend. It was only 7 of us. We were seated in a large, comfortable booth and were treated very well. This place is old-school classy, beautiful dark wood, padded chairs, an unhurried meal. For the appetizers, most of us had baked clams and lump crab meat, so fresh and delicious. For the mains, I went with a skirt steak and my husband had a ribeye. The skirt steak was cooked just how I asked, medium rare, and the creamed spinach we ordered as a side was delicious. The drinks were awesome as well. Pricewise, it's not more expensive than any other upscale place.

Inside Westbury Manor, a nice cozy bar and dining area is available - Been there many times, the food is really good and the bartender is impeccable and super fast. We ate at the bar, and guests for a wedding started coming into the bar to have a drink prior to their party. There had to be 3 deep, and the bartender Michael didn't miss a beat. Everyone was served promptly. The bar menu was very affordable, the parking lot out back is huge and they have valet if a large party or wedding is booked.

So happy Westbury Manors Polo Lounge has reopened. The service is unmatched, they truly treat you like family. The food and drinks were amazing as usual. Can't wait to return!

I have an old gift certificate to the restaurant with no expiration date, so I called in advance to ask if they would honor the gift certificate. I was told that they wouldn't. I won't be coming here. Imagine, if they had let me use the gift certificate for a party of 8. Their loss!

Our 20 year anniversary last night, so we returned to Westbury Manor. The Polo Lounge brought back great memories of the Outstanding service that WM provides. The staff are professional, very friendly and especially Dave. Thank you for the complementary Cider; he offered Champagne but we chose non-alcoholic. As we were leaving, we commented to the nice lady that it was our 20 year anniversary, and they let us visit the room we celebrated in. The steaks were perfect, the appetizers were delicious and overall, everyone was friendly.

I have been coming to the polo lounge for years and tonight was the first time that i was treated so poorly. The host was rude right from the beginning. We weren't sure if he was even the host, when he passed by i said should we tell this gentleman that we have a reservation and he looked at us and said "well that would be nice" then after we sat at the table there was no way we could fit comfortable in the booth with 4 of us. I asked if we could have a chair. After he was done chastising us and telling us that we should believe him that 4 people always fit he threw a chair towards our table and said there is your chair and if i look we will see that 4 people fit. Since no other table had anyone sitting there we could not see that. However, later in the evening there was a table of four and one women was sitting in a chair outside of the booth, and i didn't hear her getting berated by this creep. Oh and before was sat we were also told by one other person, "there is your table in the corner as he pointed to it. So we walked over and sat ourselves. I am just happy that the wait service was as good as ever. Because the hosts were awful. Food was good, crab cakes which turns out to be a1 crab cake for $22 Definitely not upto the standards of what the polo lounge should be serving, especially for that price.
