Polo's Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenwood

Came here 7 years ago when I was in college and had a wonderful dinner. Went back this year with high hopes of another great experience but was disappointed. We were the first to arrive right when they opened and somehow still took an hour to receive our entrees, even with less than five tables total dining by that time. We enjoyed the wine but the calamari appetizer was lacking in flavor. My husband had the NY strip and I had the shrimp and scallops (same thing I had seven years ago that I loved), but both of our entrees were lukewarm if not cold and again little to no flavor. We were planning to get dessert but didn’t want to potentially wait another hour before receiving it so we declined. Our server was very nice and the feel of the restaurant is romantic and intimate, but the food and wait time is enough for us to decide that we won’t be back. If the food lived up to its potential the prices would be fair, but at this quality...

Definitely a favorite for us in Greenwood! Not only is the food delicious, but the prices are so reasonable! A real draw for us is the leisurely pace for dining…a lost luxury with most places just interested in “turning tables”. For those for a quick bite…Polo’s is not for you. We often spend 3 hours enjoying the food and company. We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, or just a night out with friends to catch up with each other. The appetizers and salad selections are numerous and unique. The steaks are top notch…the filet mignon cuts like butter. The fish is always outstanding…prepared to the perfect temperature! No doubt due to the fact that Polo personally prepares each dish. Don’t forget to save room for dessert!

The service is casual, but you never feel neglected. The servers, Jo and more recently, Sebastian, are knowledgeable of the details of each menu item, and the...

Could only give Polo's 3 stars. We went for an early dinner on a Friday evening. We were the only ones in there initially yet it took a long time for the waitress to take our order after bringing beverages. Bread was dry/stale. Calamari was so so. Then it took a very long time for our entrees to come. In fact the couple that came in well after us got their food first. Once we had finished our food we sat there a very long time before the waitress noticed that we were done. Then asked if we wanted dessert but we didn't want to spend another 15 minutes waiting for that. Asked for the bill and that took another 10+ minutes. The waitstaff was not busy. There were only 3 tables and that included us. So even though the food was good we will not be returning. I can't imagine what it would have been like if it had been busy or we had planned to go to...
