- MMichelleVIPSan Diego •24 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe adore the Pony Room. Chris, our server, and his team do a tremendous job making us feel welcome, helping us with menu selections, and anticipating our every need. The food last night was outstanding and we enjoyed the seasonal drinks as well. The live music is a special touch, though we sit outside where the music is a bit muted and easier for us to carry on conversation. Rancho Valencia is especially beautiful this time of year with the holiday declarations and lights. Worth the splurge!More infoThe Pony RoomPrice: Very Expensive• American• Rancho Santa Fe•4.8
- SSusanVIPHawaii •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBest OVERALL Restaurant on the coast. Nice enough to celebrate special occasions and casual enough to pop in for lunch and have a cocktail. LOVE THE SERVICE…because it’s rare to find good service. FOOD is excellent…can find something on the menu for everyone. (My favorites are the Seafood Pasta and the Seared Ahi!)

- JJonathanSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024What a find in the middle of Rancho Santa Fe! All the decorative lights on, quaint wood framed windows, protected patio out front- we chose a corner table inside, cozy crates of wine and poinsettias piled around, soft conversations from the tables, the gentle maîtred, the comforting waitress. What an ambiance. The Norwegian salmon and New York steak were special. Extensive wine menu. We loved the experience !More infoRancho Santa Fe BistroPrice: Moderate• American• Rancho Santa Fe•4.7
