There are four specialty restaurants onboard, and Polo Grill is their outstanding steakhouse. This was a total standout. We loved the atmosphere and especially their menu. Every steak ordered was perfectly cooked and tender. I ordered a blackened crab cake to start- very good! I then had an 8 oz filet mignon, grilled asparagus and baked potato. Paul had the porterhouse and had these colossal prawns the likes I've never seen before. I thought they were lobster tails. I shared with him and they were absolutely to die for. Everyone at the table said they wanted them also after seeing ours. Paul also had lobster macaroni and cheese and the mushroom soup. Westbrook much food but he also ordered the superb quartet for dessert. It had 4 superb bites of key lime pie, cheesecake, chocolate brownie and apple pie. I had a decaf cappuccino while others indulged in espresso and an Irish coffee. Service was wonderful as it is throughout the ship. We can't wait to go back to this restaurant again while on this cruise!

Two years after my last visit I found Polo to once again be a fine steak house dining experience at…read moresea. My first dinner consisted a meaty and tasty Colossal Chilled Shrimp Trio with Spicy Cocktail Sauce, followed in succession by a bowl of cheesy Baked Onion Soup with a bit bitter Gruyere Cheese crust; a smooth and creamy Timbale of Heart of Palm Remoulade with a slight crunch; and a very good Classic Caesar Salad that was not prepared tableside, even though the menu said it would be. This time Polo Grill Surf & Turf included a Florida Lobster Tail that was excellent in all respects, as well as a buttery prime Filet Mignon medium rare as ordered, along with superior Bearnaise Sauce. By special request I received fresh Raspberries, Strawberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries to complete the meal. Water refills were provided without request, and service was excellent. For my second dinner at Polo while cruising the South Pacific, I began with a great and mild Chesapeake Bay Lump Crab Cake with Pommery Mustard Sauce and another great Colossal Chilled Shrimp Trio with Spicy Cocktail Sauce. A bowl of off-white New England Clam Chowder, including many bits of vegetables, was serviceable. And, a Waldorf Salad set down before me reflected a beautiful presentation that was matched in taste. Lobster Mac & Cheese prepared in a Dutch Oven arrived late. The hot side dish tasted very good but did not contain much lobster or sauce. On the other hand, Potatoes Au Gratin were well prepared and well received. An enormous cut portion of Pancetta Wrapped Filet of Veal with Bay Lobster Tail Oscar Style was satisfying but too massive and rich for a single diner to reasonably finish. A slice of Seven-Layer Belgian Chocolate Fudge Cake was smooth and creamy, but not sweet. It was accompanied by a scoop of No Sugar Added Raspberry Ice Cream. An initial cup of Decaf was barely warm, but this minor lapse was quickly made up for by a new and piping hot cup of Decaf upon notification to our server. Otherwise service was exemplary, and the ambiance that of a classy and clubby steak house. Again, 4-1/2 stars overall!

The restaurant is very nicely decorated. Upscale, modern, chic, but comfortable. It's in a beautiful location. Perfect place to watch the sunset. We sat inside because we didn't want to deal with the wind. But I think the outdoor seating area might block the wind. Our waiter was wonderful. They brought out warm rolls with honey and butter on the side. I ordered the salmon. My husband ordered the branzino. Both were delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a side of the Tartufo fries. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. After our meal they brought us a dish of coconut ice cream on the house as an anniversary gift. I would definitely return. FYI: the prices are not as high in the restaurant as they are online. I think some patrons complained about the prices and they lowered them in house.

The restaurant has maintained its classic, traditional steakhouse charm with its dark wood interior and timeless atmosphere. It is refreshing to see that it has stayed true to what made it special all those years ago. We came to celebrate my partner's birthday, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Jessica greeted us as though we were family and provided genuine, attentive hospitality throughout the evening. She was knowledgeable, eager to help, and checked on us frequently without ever making us feel rushed. The entire staff ensured we had everything we needed, making the celebration feel special. We started with the jumbo shrimp cocktail. While the shrimp were certainly jumbo in size, this is one appetizer I would probably skip next time. The crab cake, however, was outstanding. It was full of crab, perfectly seasoned, and one of the highlights of the meal. The Chilean sea bass was another standout. It was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and served over spinach that was absolutely delicious. The truffle mac and cheese was equally impressive--rich, creamy, and packed with real truffle flavor. Unfortunately, the NY strip steak was the biggest disappointment of the evening. We ordered it medium, expecting the warm pink center that defines a properly cooked medium steak, but it arrived closer to medium well. Beyond being overcooked, the flavor and overall quality simply did not live up to the expectations of a classic steakhouse. For dessert, we shared the key lime pie, which was fantastic. The filling was smooth and creamy, while the nutty crust added an unexpected texture and flavor that made it one of the best parts of the meal. One thing to keep in mind is that the dining room became quite loud once it filled up. We were happy we arrived right when the restaurant opened at 5:30 (early birds) because conversation became more difficult as the evening progressed. While the steak missed the mark, the outstanding service, delicious seafood, excellent sides, and nostalgic atmosphere still made for a memorable birthday celebration. Christy's continues to deliver the kind of warm hospitality that has kept guests returning for generations. I just hope the steaks can once again live up to the restaurant's long-standing reputation.

The wedge salad was unbelievable and easily enough for two. My prime rib was served the way I like it and the size more then ample. I was a bit disappointed in the service. Our waitress was very nice but the food was served in a haphazard manner. Not elegantly. My biggest disappointment was the noise level. I was having dinner with old friends and we had a lot to catch up about. It was almost impossible to hear across the table. With food as good as it is, and prices as high they are.

If you're wondering whether the classics made the move, the answer is yes...and they're every bit as incredible as ever.

The new space is beautiful, with elegant décor that feels warm, inviting, and perfect for a date night or special occasion. The service was outstanding, but what really makes this place special is Marcello. He's always there greeting guests, checking on tables, and making everyone feel genuinely welcome. That personal touch is one of the reasons we've loved dining here for so many years. We're thrilled to see this new chapter with Casa Vialetto. The food, service, and atmosphere are all exceptional.
