The indoor room is closed for the summer. It is preferrable for us. We enjoyed the outside patio, but it can be cool. Dress for that. We had the Dover Sole. It was delicious. Enough for two.
Waiter was very quiet and inattentive. Took a while to get to our table and seemed almost nervous about the job he was doing.
Excellent staff from the hostess who seated us where I had requested to the bartenders to the waiter —- all were friendly and wonderful!
We had the best time celebrating a birthday. The entire staff was great. Special mention to David who went above and beyond.
Wonderful from start to finish. Manuel (Manny), and team, provided fabulous service. The food was perfect, as always.
Service was great . Valet service great and friendly staff. Food has always been excellent that's why we kept coming back .
The food was delicious. Lots of children in the dining area. I found it refreshing to see the young families. The kids added to the fun. I'm happy they were welcome.
Everything was exceptional , from the valet to the reception hostess to our server and table crew! Food was spot on as well as our drinks. You pay for what you get and i'll definitely be back when we're in town.
Was a beautiful day to have lunch out on the patio. The homemade chips & guacamole and the margaritas was the best! Love the quiche and hamburgers
The Pony Room is always a pleasant place for lunch. My guests enjoyed the menu, service and a very good meal.

Our first time at the Pony Room, for my birthday. I googled it and saw all the great reviews,. so we decided to check it out with friends. So glad we did! What a hidden gem for these foodies. Great variety on the menu for everyone and large portions that are very shareable. I had the Hamachi Crudo, two of my dining partners had the burger, which was amazing but splittable, another diner had the lamb popsicles, he said they were wonderful, but needed a little more spice. We all shared the pear salad, I loved the lavender dresssing. We also had the focaccia, so good! Our Italian friend said it was good but should just be called bread as it's not traditional focaccia. I loved it, but I tend to agree as my family also owns a traditional Italian restaurant. We shared teo bottles of wine, which are a very good value according to my ex-Somm husband. We will absolutely be back, and bring our friends. Stewart, our server was exceptional and made the experience even more awesome. I gave ambience four stars because although the entire place was absolutely beautiful, the bar, the entry courtyard and the outdoor patio we could see from our table, our actual table was in a corner of the plastic lined patio, which took away from the total ambience for me and felt a bit claustrophobic . I'm sure as soon as it warms up they will take the plastic away, but for me, next time I would request to sit inside the bar area or somewhere more open. Overall a wonderful find, you'll see us again soon!
It's interesting that when I arrived the hostess wished me happy birthday but then they never did anything. I saw waiters taking candles and dessert for another guest but sadly nothing for me! Very disappointing. If they weren't going to do anything they shouldn't have acknowledged my birthday in the first place.
Alicia and Theresa are by far the best servers you could possibly ask for in this world. Everyone is so pleasant and friendly. Yet these two ladies make the experience even better. Foods amazing as well.
Beautiful little restaurant, wonderful service, & great ambience. The only area that has room for improvement is the food. I was expecting good food for the price.
My husband, family and friends have eaten at The Pony Room for several years. It's one of our favorites and regulars. I've had incredible food, fabulous service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I look forward to many more.
