I love this place. Delicious food, quick service, relaxed atmosphere and good drinks! I didn't enjoy it the first time my bf and I came here because my food was overcooked, but it was pretty busy!! However, upon my second visit it's proven to me that this spot is well worth it to dine read more

I've been here a couple times now, once for dinner with my husband and a second time for their Easter brunch. For dinner, I ordered the smash burger, though it wasn't really a traditional smash burger and felt more like a regular burger with two very thick patties. That said, it was still good. The fries were hot and fresh, and our server was very kind. My husband enjoyed his fish tacos. They needed some salsa on the side though, which we asked about but it wasn't spicy. We also noticed they were promoting their upcoming Easter brunch at the time and we were looking for a spot for Easter too. Making an Easter brunch reservation was easy and smooth. The staff member on the phone was helpful and accommodating when we needed to adjust our headcount. We arrived 30 min before our reservation but they were able to seat us which we appreciated. The brunch itself was decent, but I'm not sure I would return for the value. It was a buffet-style brunch that included coffee, tea, and sodas. The prime rib needed a bit more flavor, we didn't see any au jus which would've helped, although it was nice to have a carving station and a made-to-order omelette bar. Some of the hot items were kept in warming trays but were more lukewarm than hot. They advertised waffles, but I didn't initially see any on the buffet, so we asked. A staff member mentioned they had batter available and kindly made fresh waffles for us in the kitchen. They were brought out beautifully topped with strawberries, cinnamon, and whipped cream. When we requested another order, we asked a different server for the same preparation, but the staff member who originally made them was back at his station, so we received a plain waffle instead. When we asked another server for strawberries, he somewhat abruptly and rudely pointed us to the buffet and said there was fruit available over there outside. We checked, but there were no strawberries at that time, so we didn't pursue it further. Later, when we ordered waffles again, there were still none on the buffet. I happened to speak with the same server again (that pointed to the fruit earlier), and he rudely said there were waffles out and we could get them ourselves, but then I told him that there weren't any as I had just come from there, and he acknowledged the issue. It seemed that items were not being consistently monitored or restocked. Unfortunately, the second round of waffles did not come out the same as the first and were missing the strawberries and whipped cream. However, the omelette station cook noticed and kindly brought us whipped cream when he passed by, which we appreciated. Overall, the ham was quite good. The salad selection felt a bit weak and looked wilted, and the dessert area was sparse with items not consistently refilled. The salmon was also slightly dry and could have benefited from more of the cream sauce. Positives: good dinner burger/fries, kind server, easy reservation process for Easter brunch, omelette station cook was very kind, some standout items (first waffles, ham) Negatives: inconsistent service, lukewarm buffet items, missing restocks, dry salmon, weak salad/dessert spread, and uneven guest handling (waffle/fruit issue + staff confusion) read more

If you are considering going here on Mother's Day etc don't it's was a disaster even with a reservation. They were packing people in people were falling over each other and you couldn't eat without someone standing over you in the buffet line it was awful .. great idea terrible execution. read more

This is a good place to meet up with friends for brunch or lunch. The menu caters to a wide range of taste. I really enjoyed the Pear & Prosciutto Salad. Never had it before & was really surprised with the combination of flavors. Service was super friendly. The manager came over to our table & inquired about experience. He also told us that they serve other Spanish dishes like paella & gambas though it is not on the menu. They even cater. I thought that was really friendly & hospitable. read more

My mom found this place on yelp and we decided to stop in for lunch. This place is amazing. Service is great, place is nice and family friendly, and the food is so delicious! My dad ordered fish tacos, my mom got the seafood pasta, I got pasta primavera with prawns, my sister ordered a burrito, and my son ordered French fries. Nothing disappointed. Portions were great! And then we ordered a lava cake for dessert, which was completely gone. We want to come back to try other things on the menu, so I guess.. until next time! Thank you read more

Yesterday, I had dinner at this restaurant with my friends, and I was truly thrilled because I finally found a seafood paella that lived up to my expectations--something I hadn't been able to find anywhere else in the area. We also enjoyed seafood pasta, salads, and desserts. I highly recommend all of it! We were delighted by the owner's incredibly kind and attentive service. We will certainly be back, and I highly recommend this place for its wonderful atmosphere. They have a fantastic menu for Easter Day. I promise you, you'll be very happy there! read more

04262025 Before checking out the Livermore winery scene, my friends and I came here for brunch. The place was packed for a drizzly Saturday, so I'd recommend making a reservation. The space itself is small, so be prepared... Ideally, I would've preferred not to be seated in the center, as the people next to us were staring while we ate. I wasn't sure if it was because of what we were eating or discussing, but I'd prefer either of those over it being about our race... yup, I went there. That was the only caveat of the day. Service was friendly and prompt. I got the steak and eggs because I rode my bike the night before and was honestly craving meat. The steak was cooked right, and the portion was generous--I ended up finishing it. My girls and I also tried their mimosa. I went with the guava version, but I couldn't really taste much, so next time I'll probably stick with classic OJ. Overall, the quality/portion was great as well as the price! A major plus was the parking lot. Next time, I'll just be sure to request not being seated in the middle... or next to "three Karens," lol. Be warned! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Polo's Corner yet! I've been here around seven times and they keep upping their game. The interior looks so sleek and the service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the Pasta Primavera with added shrimp and this dish was so flavorful and the portion was really generous. Between my mom's Ahi Salad and my dish, we probably could have fed six people! Keep doing what you're doing, Polo's Corner! read more

What an incredible meal from beginning to end! We were here to celebrate a good friend's birthday and he certainly chose well. Ion greeted us very warmly as soon as we stepped inside. He gave us our choice of tables. Our table gave us a nice view of the indoor dining and bar area. We could see part of the action in the kitchen too. The inside is very clean, bright and comfy. Ion mentioned that this restaurant has been open for about 2 1/2 years and he and his family are the proud owners. He said they see a regular clientele. Sure enough, within 20 minutes the restaurant had filled up. I could see that people were relaxing with a cocktail as they waited for their appetizer or main dishes. We decided to order: Calamari appetizer- with chipotle aioli dip Seafood Pasta - prawns, scallops, salmon in a creamy marinara sauce with garlic bread Blackened salmon - with veggies and rice pilaf Chilean sea bass tacos Honestly, the food and service were amazing! We all loved the delicious flavors of our respective meals. My sea bass tacos were moist, and filled with plenty of shredded cabbage and topped with a cilantro lime aioli. Each bite was absolute yumminess! Our server, Ion, has the most friendly demeanor and he stopped by several times to see how we were doing. Another highlight of the evening was the dessert. Our friend chose the molten chocolate cake. It was heated through and it came with a little scoop of ice cream and boy, was it incredible! The birthday boy shared a bite and the chocolate lover in me still remembers the warm richness and decadent flavor. The plate was decorated beautifully too and it came with a candle and a "Happy Birthday" cake topper, a super thoughtful touch. Such an exceptional meal. The servers were especially delightful. A gentleman happily filled my water glass at least four times and he was always smiling, which made me feel like he truly enjoys working here. Thank you to the team at Polo's Corner for making our meal a truly memorable experience. (Sorry folks, I thought for sure I had taken a pic of their dinner menu but it looks like I only captured their breakfast and lunch menus). read more

Food was absolutely delicious here -- the ahi tuna salad was huge, very fresh, and perfectly dressed, while the salmon was excellent with a satisfying portion size. Prices were pretty typical for the area, but the salmon was a great value for the price. The calamari with aioli was also a standout, light and flavorful with a creamy, nicely balanced sauce. The menu had so many tempting options that it was honestly hard to choose; there were several dishes I wanted to try, so I'll definitely be back to sample more. Service was great, and the food came out surprisingly fast for how busy it was. A nice extra touch was their unique plates and serving dishes -- they added a cool, intentional vibe to the whole meal. Highly recommend. read more

We recently met family at this restaurant for lunch. The menu is quite large with a wide variety of selections, and they serve breakfast well into the day. There were six of us, and we had an opportunity to sample several different meals. Everyone was very pleased with their choices, and the service was excellent. Both accurate and quick. The restaurant itself is a typical cafe style, clean, but nothing fancy. We were pleased with our visit, and recommend trying the place out. read more

I found this place from Costco actually. We were shopping and saw the gift card and checked out the reviews and gave it a shot. I'm sad to say, I'm not impressed... I drove 40 mins to super slow service and mediocre food. The place is clean and the setting is comfortable. So overall I'd say this is a solid 3. Food... I took a picture of just our appetizer and honestly didn't even bother with the rest. We ordered wings as an appetizer and my GOD! 5 of the smallest wings ever for $14? Flavor was fine but then again it's deep fried wings... they're not hard to mess up. Double smash burger, extremely greasy, a little dry, and just not that great. Fries were good. Fish and chips, I'd probably pass on ordering again. Fish was very skimp. More batter than protein and once again fairly average. Fish tacos, pretty flavorless and dry. I know it's hard to find good fish tacos so I shouldn't have expected much but I've been on a fish tacos thing lately after a recent trip. Lastly, the best thing we ordered and the only thing saving this from a total bust. The crab melt. This was good! Plenty of flavor, well mixed. Not too much bread and generous protein. Overall, I wouldn't make the drive back but maybe if I was a local I'd go back for just the crab melt. read more

I was having a girls lunch with some friends and we found this place on Yelp. Expectations were low as they are with any new place these days. But wow, not only were we greeted warmly by a pleasant staff but no one could easily decide what to eat from the fantastic menu. It wasn't overwhelming in its offerings the way Cheesecake Factory is but rather it seemed to just have a very nice range of appealing menu items. The food did take a while but came out hot and very tasty. The burger is higher end quality and I will be back to try more of their menu. Bonus points for well kept restrooms. read more

The restaurant wasn't super busy and lots of parking in the lot, since it's in a shopping center. Service was wonderful. Everyone was kind and attentive to us from when we walked in. The food was not my favorite. I ordered the california benedict which needed more seasoning. The highlight of it was the mango habenero sauce which also felt like a weird combo with the benedict. The sauce was good tho! Overall the food just felt underseasoned. My boyfriend got the chilaquiles with steak but he wasn't a big fan of the sauce. We also ordered guava mimosas which tasted good but probably didn't have much champagne. Overall not a bad experience but a bit underwhelming. read more

We tried this place in the summer and it was easily forgotten. Unfortunately, our food was mostly bland and nothing excited us. It's more like a 2.75 but I rounded up. Service was good, nothing extraordinary. We loved the bright white and blues inside, very inviting. I had the Steak & Eggs. The steak didn't have enough seasoning and was very dry and tough. I should have sent it back but I ate half of it, hoping the next bite would magically be tasty and juicy. I believe in miracles, but didn't happen. My sister shared a few bites of her Crab Omelette. It was mostly shrimp and we barely tasted any crab. She said there was no love in it, and I agreed. Our cousin seemed satisfied with her Sea Bass Tacos but she wasn't raving about it either. We shared the crepes with berries and Nutella. The Nutella wasn't creamy and they weren't generous with the berries. Looked like one strawberry cut up into six slices. I didn't count the blueberries lol. My sister and cousin loved their hot Lavender Mint tea. My iced coffee was great as well. But it's pretty sad that our drinks stood out the most. read more

Went here for a great weekend lunch. I was very impressed. Everything about the service, the atmosphere, and the food were perfect. It was a little crowded at noon on a Saturday but not too bad. The ice tea was great. Even thought it was unsweetened, it had some pieces of fruit in it. Very festive! The fish and chips were great. Fish wasn't oily and it was crispy. Fries were crispy in that double-fried way. Cole slaw was also good. My crab melt was perfect. Just warm enough and just enough filling. The sourdough bread it was on was nice and toasty. The cup of chicken vegetable soup was great. You could actually see and taste the chicken pieces. Really flavorful. This was a good experience. Will come back to try breakfast favorites sometime. read more

I always make sure to come to polos corner hungry. They are a little pricey, but I think it's worth it because of their portion size. Wanted to get some brunch on Sunday around 12pm (ik that was a terrible idea but I can't help my cravings). This was one of the only places with less than a 10 min wait. Couldn't resist getting the crab omelette with OJ while my boyfriend got a sandwich. The service was alright, but I give them credit since it was definitely busy and they did check in on us from time to time. read more

First visit to Polo's Corner and it definitely won't be the last! My friends and I enjoyed our brunch. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and the place was busy. We didn't have to wait long despite not having a reservation. We sat outside on the covered patio. It was comfortable with a heat lamp nearby. The service was attentive and our water glasses were always full. I love that this restaurant is a family owned and run business. We all ordered different savory breakfast items with a sweet treat to share. My Veggie Benedict was full of veggies, avocado, two perfectly poached eggs over a portobello mushroom and topped with a pineapple Serrano sauce. The sauce was too sweet for me and I would have enjoyed my eggs even more without it. The house country potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft inside. The potatoes had bell peppers and onions as well. We shared the Mixed Berry Crepes which had berries, Nutella and fresh whipped cream. It was a delicious combination. Everything came out fresh and delicious. Can't wait to try more items on the menu! read more

We came here for a late lunch. They are located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, and outside seating is available. My daughter and I had the crab melt sandwich, which was delicious. She got hers with a side salad, while I chose sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, the fries were a disappointment: they were overcooked, and you would have thought they would have at least have been crispy, but they were not. But other than that, everything else was good, including my husband's roast beef sandwich. Their ice tea is an unusual color, a sort of magenta tint. According to my daughter, who ordered an Arnold Palmer, the tea had a slight hibiscus taste. My husband's iced tea came with berries on top. read more

Food wasn't good. In the slightest. Benedict was cold, soggy and flavorless. Burger was bland. Fish and chips looked like chicken strips, fresh out of the freezer. Outdoor patio was fine. Nice to sit outside in warm weather. Service was terrible. Waited 25 min for appetizer (a table pancake) and over an hour for main. Table right next to us ordered 15 min after us and received their food before us. And no, it wasn't busy. At all read more

A local gem with the warmest team. We impromptu popped in for dinner on our way to a small event and sheepishly let the staff know we only had 30 mins, and they so kindly welcomed us in and said no problem. The staff was so attentive and we never once felt rushed, they were so gracious. We ordered the chicken madeira and chicken alfredo pasta and both dishes were so flavorful! We both completely finished our plates! It was such a good meal, I can't wait to go back and try more. They consistently checked in on us and we were well taken care of. We were in and out in under 30 mins and had a yummy dinner. On our way out, they even got to the door before us to open it for us and thank us. These are the type of local small businesses I love to support: quality people, quality product. I hope they thrive! So glad we decided to pop in that night, we will definitely be back! read more

Tried adding protein on DoorDash, but it was not possible. (For example, to the pasta), called the store and asked to add it. I was willing to pay $10-$15 more for the items/s. They said it was possible on the app and that I could cancel the order and try again. So then I ordered the thing/s I wanted from another restaurant. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. The service was great and the waitress and manager were very attentive. They had a range of options to choose from which were more than adequate to suit different tastes for everyone. We sat outside which they had plenty of seating and a covered patio. It was a quiet evening but it was really splendid. The birthday person did receive a complimentary slice of the limoncello marscarpone cake. We all had a bite and it was very delicious, it wasn't too sweet at all. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Unfortunately, this was just ok. I was pretty excited to try it with all the stellar reviews, so I am sad that it wasn't that great. First, I tried calling the restaurant directly to order. I tried 3x's, but it went to voicemail each time. Not a big deal for me, but I was trying to save them the DD charges for me to go in and pick up the food. It would have also saved me a little money, but whatever. So, I just placed my pickup order via DoorDash. When I did arrive, it looked very clean and like a nice spot for dining in. I ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo, and added bacon for $3.00 (which they didn't bother to include). Supposedly, the base order comes with cheese, as well as eggs, and hash browns. If there was cheese in this burrito that's news to me, as I didn't see any cheese anywhere throughout it. With a 20% tip for the staff, plus taxes, and a $3.00 add on of bacon, it cost me $27.56. This is not cheap, especially for the size of the burrito. It is not a big burrito. I have purchased really tasty burritos that I can barely hold with one hand for less (a lot less) than this. While the ingredients tasted fresh everything was pretty bland. The eggs were nice and fresh, but didn't have any seasoning. The hash browns were barely seasoned, and the chorizo lacked that tanginess. Who knows what the bacon is like since I paid for it and never received it. Also, the molcajete salsa that they send with it is watery, and flavorless. It didn't even have a touch of smokiness to it. And it had zero kick. The freshness of the ingredients really saved the whole experience. But, the burrito is definitely not anything I will crave, and it certainly doesn't draw me back to this place. I will say that the chilaquiles that someone was eating when I walked in looked really good. So, I will give this place another chance, but I won't be ordering the breakfast burrito again. read more

This is a nice little family owned restaurant. There was a few other tables on a Tuesday night. The service here is friendly but slow and not that great. They rarely check up on you once ur food arrives and you have to flag them down anytime you need something. Bistro burger 3.5/5: for the price, the portion is huge. I loved the sweet potato fries on the side. The burger itself was loaded and I opted to add bacon. The meat quality was nice because it was wagyu however I thought it was a little bland. Molten lava cake 3/5: I liked the pomegranate ice cream that came on the side; I thought it paired well with the chocolate. The cake definitely had lava in the middle however the cake part was just average. I saw a lot of people eating the seared ahi tuna salad so I will try that next time if I'm in the area. The food here is just okay but the dining experience would be better if the service was more attentive. read more

This was a mixed bag for me and my party. In search of a local spot away from the usual big chain breakfast spots but not too fancy that's beyond what I'm willing to pay for, Polo's Corner seemed to be just the right fit. This is located in a strip mall anchored by a large grocery chain. We arrived at the prime breakfast hour on a Saturday morning to a nearly empty restaurant. We were immediately seated, however, the first impressions were met with crumbs on our booth seat already. Not a good thing. The menu is eclectic with traditional breakfast fair within Mexican cuisine influences. For example, the iced tea order came served with blueberries in it, and many of the dishes such as the benedicts are topped with mango jalapeño rather than the usual hollandaise I opted for the traditional substituting the mango jalapeño for hollandaise. I wasn't overly impressed with the crab Benedict I ordered, and the hashbrowns it came with for me had a bit of a stale oil taste. Others in my party seemed to enjoy their meal on the other hand. Although we all thought the pacing of the food dishes coming out could be better as the dishes came out one at a time with time lapsing in between as I noticed they tried to also serve other tables at the same time. Perhaps they are short on kitchen staff, however, it makes for an awkward situation where we were all starting our meals at different times, not wanting our food to be cold! Personally, I don't think I'd come back unless it was the request of others I'm dining out with. read more

Polo's Corner was a unique find in Livermore somehow balancing between casual while also being a "nicer" restaurant. Food: the food was fairly delicious. We tried three appetizers my favorite being the tempura cauliflower. As far as the main dish goes, they had a range of options from smaller sandwiches to a big ribeye. All of the meals that we ordered were presented beautifully and had good flavor to them. One of the only things I would say is their Crab Melt had so much meat in it that it was hard to eat both halves simply because the flavor was so strong and filling. Atmosphere: While the food presentation makes it seem in the fancier side, the atmosphere was very casual. Our server was very sweet and treated us well. There was a couple times when some staff were organizing silverware which was done nearby and was very loud but that was quick and not too bad read more
