Polpo Palm Beach - Manalapan

Great experience. We visited twice during our stay at the resort. Staff went above and beyond for us.

This place is excellent. Really excellent. The food was great as is the atmosphere being prime oceanfront. What brings Polpo up to a rarefied level is the attention to detail with the upmost attention to service. One of my guests made some fairly demanding requests that had me rolling my eyes, but the staff there made it happen. The fact that they went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate the request is amazing, but just the demeanor in which they did it was so positive. Then other members of the staff from the busboy to the manager came over to the table to check on us several times with a smile was brilliant. I'll be back.

Service and food was amazing as usual. Had drinks first at Bar and Bartenders were great. Not only in terms of drinks but both so nice. Hostess also were pleasant and seated us with a smile. They are your first impression to set the tone for a great evening. The food is always outstanding every time we go. Also the gentleman at Valet are also so nice. Perfect beautiful setting for a great meal.

We live locally and so enjoy our visits to Polpo. The grilled Polpo appetizer is my favorite. The addition of ink was a pleasant surprise (although I missed the small arugula salad that was previously part of the dish). Don't skip the key lime pie. It's perfectly tart and almost too beautiful to eat! Our server was attentive and friendly. Looking forward to returning.

My husband I celebrated our wedding anniversary with excellent service, food, wine at Polpo Palm Beach. Our waitress, Yesenia, provided professional congenial service. We ordered different wines by the glass, which were delicious. Caesar salad was flavorful. We appreciated perfect seasoning white anchovies. My husband ordered an entree portion of caci e pepe, which perfectly balanced fine cheese black peppercorns with tagliatelle. My salmon special was attractively served over fava beans other vegetables. My salmon was so delicate delicious that my husband, who finds salmon too gamy, enjoyed tasting it. Our dessert, tartufo, had crunchy frozen dark chocolate shell good ice cream with frozen cherry. My husband liked hot regular coffee, not as strong as the coffee we prefer at home. I rate Polpo Palm Beach as top notch for fine dining.
