Polo Steakhouse - Carlsbad

Overall, the appetizers and steaks were fantastic. I would like to mention though that my elderly mother did not enjoy her entree. It was one of the nightly specials, Halibut. The waiter did not explain how the fish was prepared, and we found the dish was overly spicy due to the jalepenos or other type of chiles in the dish. The desserts were okay, not as fresh as I would expect for this restaurant, since we have dined here 3-4 times before. Not sure we will be returning since there are other steakhouses that provide the same ambience but better value.

Wow, the oysters and steak we enjoyed here were absolutely the best we've had in a long time—possibly the best steak overall! My wife and I shared a 16oz ribeye, while our friends each ordered an 8oz filet. We kicked things off with a dozen oysters, which quickly turned into two dozen, and eventually three. They were amazing!

Our waitress Alex was great, and the food tasted good. However, it took nearly an hour for us to receive our appetizer, and we waited quite a while for our salad as well.

The food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch!

Excellent ambiance and service. The only negative regarding the food was the chimicurri sauce. It was terrible/soupy!
