    Our experience at Pony Dining was the best restaurant experience we've had in a while. The food was consistently delicious across all parts of the menu, and the dessert options were a great finish. We also sampled the cocktails and mocktails, and these were similarly delicious. The ambience is welcoming and not too loud to hold a conversation, and the service was prompt, friendly and helpful. My husband left his bag under the table without realising, and we had just made it back to the car (which was very close by) when I received both a call and a text to let me know that they had found the bag. We were very grateful for such prompt contact to let us know. Fantastic food and great service!

    As soon as we walked into the restaurant we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. Our waitstaff were so accommodating and professional. Our meals were delicious and the suggested wines were perfect. The view of Rose Bay waters was amazing as was the ambience. Definitely enjoyed our dining experience!
