Our First time at the Polobar and it did not disappoint me or my guest. We both enjoyed our choices, for me it was the ribs with sweet potato fries and then the decided to share the most enormous berries, sauce and pancake stack I've seen out anywhere. Yes, it was that good. It's a good place for more comfort food-type settings, The staff we friendly and helpful and that is all one could want. I will add one thing though and this has nothing to do with the food or service. The toilets were clean but man was it freezing in there that day. So, make sure you wear a jumper when you go! The above paragraph is not a negative, it was just my experience on that day. I would go again.

We visited the restaurant again after a year. The food was delicious and the service was pleasant. Knowing what to expect, it was nice to return to the same place and see that the quality hadn't changed. The space is a bit tight and given the time we were there, it was busier and a bit noisier, but that didn’t bother us much. Overall, the experience was very good.
