The place and food were outstanding. Not sure why our food took so long. The server was very nice and friendly but the wait for food to arrive was too long.

We celebrated my birthday brunch at The Pony Room and had a wonderful time. The lemon pancakes were absolutely spectacular! The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, and the service was attentive and friendly. A great spot for a special occasion!
Michelle
An amazing experience as it is every time. Superb service, delicious lunch and an incredible peaceful ambiance. Highly recommend!

I am always on impressed with the Pony Room as it feels like a special experience for us. We went for my wife's birthday and had a great meal. Her New York strip steak was excellent as were my lobster tacos. They gave her a little cupcake with a sparkler on it as a birthday cake and we also had red velvet cake and apple cobbler. Service was top notch as usual. I will mention for others that even though everything was excellent, the ambiance of the special function room is not quite as nice as the main room.

The selection of non-alcoholic beverages is the best around and the one I tasted was delicious. We also enjoyed the chips and guac, the dover sole and the filet mignon. We sat on the patio because our dog was also a welcome guest and the heaters there effectively took the chill out of the air. We shall return

Great food! I had the cheeseburger, it was so delicious. The sides were awesome. I had the fries and a salad. The fries were perfect, golden brown and very tasty. The salad was so good. I had Ranch on it. It was very fresh and also very delicious. Now to the main course, the Sandwich was cooked to perfection. I ordered mine medium rare, it was. The burger was delicious. It was in the top 10% I have ever eaten. Now the rest of the story. My meal cost me $18 dollars just for the meal. I thought I would be pissed about spending $18 dollars, but as I finished, it was well worth it. That's how good it was.
I will go back again, with my love with me. It's that kind of place.

As semi-frequent customers who live locally (go to the Pony Room a few times a year), we went to celebrate a birthday that was acknowledged by the hostess, bus boy & waitress. It seemed as if a half dozen patrons were also there to celebrate. EVERYONE else was presented with a sparkling birthday treat... we were not. Even brought it up after we were served our dessert, but still no sparkling treat. Over $500 for a meal is significant for a party of 4 (2 kids, 2 adults), but we were treated like invisible and unwanted patrons. Message received.
Best value in San Diego. Excellent food and great prices considering quality and service level

Incredible culinary and service experience! Freshest food, artistically prepared. Very polite and knowledgeable server. Will return very soon!

Shortly after being seated, water and warm nuts were brought to our table (don't skip the nuts). We started our meal by splitting a wedge salad. Thank goodness we split it — too much for one person. My wife got the burger and our server (and the kitchen) handled the special requests perfectly. The burger was excellent. I debated between the prime rib and the NY Steak — went with the NY on the recommendation of our server, and it was an excellent choice. Cooked to perfection. We ordered the apple cobbler to go, and it was fantastic! From start to finish, it was a great experience! More frequent visits are in the cards.

Saturday there were 8 friends celebrating a couple of birthdays. We were seated inside at a lovely table. Our server was excellent and our food was delicious. The ambience was amazing and the noise level low to moderate. It was a wonderful experience overall. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The Pony Room for breakfast is the greatest treat. Traditional breakfast food, cooked to order and exactly how you like it, great coffee, outstanding service, plenty of time to linger. It's the best.
