    Superb service, all staff provide top quality care for their guests, they are each very attentive. Beautiful Spanish ambience. Shared numerous hors d’oeuvres and bites. The focaccia bread was excellent as was the swordfish. And we finished off our night with a unique and tasty apple crisp accompanied by decaf coffee . We started with a dry extra cold Toto’s vodka martini - each served to perfection - just like I like it. Who can have just one when they’re this good?

    Service and food were excellent. Noise level with the indoor dining is bit loud -- but better than most other restaurants.

    Great experience! Food did not disappoint and did not feel overpriced. Heard wonderful things about the service which was a little bit slow for us but it was Valentine’s Day and they had a seating at every table so that was understandable. We texted both of our parents from the table to wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day and tell them that we’ll bring them to The Pony Room the next time they’re in town. :)

    Super night at the Pony. The Pony is one of the few West Coast restaurants that understands service. It was a sweet and lovely night. ❤️❤️❤️

    Consistently yummy food. One of the few places left that hold onto their staff, and it shows with great service. Atmosphere is very chill at lunch and cool/lively at dinner and bar, especially on weekends.
