Polo Grill

Walking into Polo Grill at Utica Square, the wine list lands with the kind of heft that makes you sit up a little straighter. This isn't a restaurant that throws a few Cabs on a laminated card and calls it a day — we're talking 400-plus bottles, a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence they've held since 2000, and a room that actually feels worthy of the list. Tulsa doesn't get nearly enough credit for serious dining, and this place is a big reason why.

The list leans hard into California and France, which is exactly the right call for a room like this — and they've done it without just stacking the shelves with obvious names. Yes, Opus One and Caymus Special Selection are here for the crowd, but so are Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars for people who know what they're doing. The Burgundy section pulls from Louis Jadot and signals some real Old World commitment, while Domaine Drouhin Oregon and Jordan round out a Pacific Northwest and California presence that feels curated rather than accidental. Champagne gets its due with Bollinger on the list, and Château Margaux makes an appearance for the table that's celebrating something serious. The gaps are minor — more depth in Italy or Spain would push this into truly exceptional territory — but for Oklahoma, this list is doing heavy lifting.

With 20-plus options by the glass, Polo Grill gives you real choices rather than the usual rotation of three whites and a rosé. The program skews toward accessible crowd-pleasers in the glass format, which makes sense for a steakhouse clientele, but there's enough range to find something genuinely interesting without committing to a full bottle. We'd love to see more rotation and some adventurous pours making their way onto the BTG menu.
