Wasn't massively impressed unfortunately. By and large, the food was a miss. The clams were too salty, at $45 the prawn (singular) with chickpea pancake was incredibly over-priced. The cabbage was nice, but not life-changing. Honestly, the best thing on the table was the bread. Would not recommend this place.

I used it at a farewell party for my friend. We was satisfied with good foods and friendly staff. Since there are sister shops, I would like to go there next time.

Lovely venue, very attentive staff - I don’t eat certain food due to sensitivity and the waitress plus kitchen staff were very considerate and wonderful. My friends and I had a great night drinking nice wine and eating amazing food - highly recommend the potato and salted egg yolks. Will be returning again - Thanks Poly for a lovely night.

Excellent food. Really nice. Service needs work. More attentive and enthusiastic. Should be telling diners how menu works. Shared etc rather than having to ask. Better service means more drinks. It wasn’t that busy, could have used more attention. Food was great. B

Had high expectations of Poly as it is very highly rated and my Ester experience was amazing. Sadly the food was nothing special, some dishes were overly salty and hard to eat. The only dish we enjoyed was the beef tartare. The service was friendly and helpful and the wine was good.
