We had the pleasure of celebrating a special occasion at The Pony Room, and our experience was made truly memorable thanks to Manny, our waiter. From the moment we arrived, Manny made my girlfriend and me feel incredibly welcomed and cared for. His warm demeanor, attention to detail, and thoughtful service added a personal touch that elevated our afternoon. It’s rare to come across someone so genuinely committed to creating an exceptional dining experience. We left not only impressed by the ambiance and food but also deeply appreciative of Manny’s outstanding hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
