For those familiar with Ralph Lauren’s casual yet polished take on equestrian style, they would be delighted to see the famous designer extend his signature style to opening his own restaurant on 1 East 55th street.

In classic Ralph Lauren style, the Polo Bar is completely polo’d out with its great brown leather couches, equestrian art and classy equestrian decor. The designer’s unique style is clearly visible as you pass by the stylish bar and make your way down the wood-paneled steps to the main dining room.

Serving traditional American cuisine in a homely yet luxurious setting, Polo Bar provides to be the perfect setting for an intimate gathering. With classic dishes such as the New York Strip Steak to Ralph’s Corned Beef Sandwich, the menu is inspired by Ralph Lauren’s personal favorites.

Dinner is never complete without dessert and the desserts here are undoubtedly worth the calories. The Charleston Bourbon Pecan Pie with a side of Ralph’s Coffee ice cream are absolutely scrumptious.

For those more interested in celeb-spotting, the Midtown restaurant hosts regular A-list celebrities such as Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow. With a household name such as Ralph Lauren, it goes without saying that getting a reservation in this sophisticated hotspot can be extremely challenging. With people booking weeks in advance, Polo Bar is definitely not a spot to try your luck on a Friday night.

Even the bar on the first floor is accessible solely to guests with dinner reservations so if you get a table for 6 pm, take it- we promise you, it’s worth it.
