A beautiful place to take a date, out of town guests, or just yourself if you want a quiet and classy restaurant. The food is delicious. The servers are kind and courteous. Valet parking only

I visited last night and they had great live music. Our reservation was for 530 pm and the place was pretty empty, but by the time I left at 830 PM, it was completely full. I ordered the fried chicken which was great. It came with a biscuit which was even better. I also enjoyed the crap cake. The cookie Sunday dessert was great! The service was great. They had valet parking as well. Overall it's a beautiful place with great ambiance.

Fantastic food in a bucolic setting. I had the Seared Ahi Tuna salad, which was delicious; my friend had Shepherd's Pie, which he also thoroughly enjoyed. Love this place and will keep coming back.

The service was off the charts in this beautiful spot. We came for a birthday happy hour and ate a tapas that were all really delicious.I’m a sober girlie and they had tons of mocktails which was fun for me to enjoy with my girls for happy hour!The crab cakes were next level and they were gluten free!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!

We had an amazing dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The resort setting is beautiful and the dining room is spacious and open with windows in all directions. The team of wait staff was discreetly attentive throughout our dinner even with a completely full dining room. We started with wine and a mocktail, great selection of wines by the glass. They offer hot roasted spiced nuts with your initial drinks, a nice touch versus the standard bread. The appetizers are large portions and we ordered two, the cauliflower which was a whole head roasted with a well balanced spice rub and light glaze of cheese, plus the field mushrooms cooked in wine. These were fabulous. The wagyu steak with creamed spinach, potatoes and wine reduction was buttery excellent and the halibut was perfectly paired with a citrus butter sauce. I was already full from the appetizers so took a portion of my halibut home as it would be a sin to leave something this good on the plate. Our waiter brought us a special treat for our anniversary of a strawberry sparkler with a couple of chocolate dipped madeleine cookies in a box, a very thoughtful treat. We will definitely visit again when we are in town.

We have loved going to The Pony Room over the years because of how beautiful the area is. Food has been good, drinks good however super expensive and waiters nice. Waitress was great second half of our dinner but they were short handed prior so took a long time to get drinks and salads. My food was cold then was over cooked when brought back. It will be awhile before we go back again to give it another try.

Gracious and relaxed is what you'll find in the Pony room. Service was a bit slow but pleasant. Chris was delightful and made the evening a hit. Maybe reduce his table load so we'd see more of him.

Amazing food and location - better than I thought it would be. Some menu items are expensive, but many are very reasonable for the quality. Would recommend and will go back. Elevated, fancy dining.

Love this classic, edgy yet conservative in the best possible way. Quality food, details matter and fun! Always a favorite.

At the beginning, it was a bit disappointing as, we had made reservations for the pony room – – always before being in the bar area and they were walking us over to the restaurant?? Then they said they didn't have any room for us in the pony room/bar area however, we waited 10 minutes saw a table, get up and then requested to be sat there so we did end up sitting where we wanted,– – but only after requesting specifically from the hostess, she wasn't about to sit us there on her own. The duo was wonderful as far as entertainment, and our server was extremely attentive, and very good, and so was the food
