   Had a nice birthday dinner with my friends here. It is a nice vibe, pretty relaxed, and food was delicious. Familiar dishes with a nice elevated twist. Speaking with the other attendees, we all agreed we would definitely come back. We had the fondue and all the shared items. The deviled eggs were as advertised, fantastic. The oysters Rockefeller were also excellent. I had the Chicken Kiev and it was fabulous. Good for a nice little get together in a fun intimate setting.

   We had a wonderful time here last night. The drinks and food were delicious and the service went above and beyond most establishments. We had some dietary restrictions and let them know ahead of time. They put several dishes aside for us to choose from. Not many places will do that. It’s a great casual vibe and we will be returning in the future.

   This was our first visit to Ponyboy. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We were surprised by the lack of reasonably priced wines on the wine list

   The ambiance here was incredible, and the food was just as good! The chicken kiev was phenomenal, and the banana split was the perfect dessert to celebrate a birthday. We had the best time, we will definitely be back soon!

   Such a fun girls night! They played Clueless on the projector screen over the pool during dinner. You can swim! It was just a little too chilly for a dip tonight but the heaters made dining outside incredibly comfortable. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was fun and laid back. Definitely will be coming back soon!

   It was our first time there and I loved the vibe, very much my aesthetic so felt very homey! We started with the oysters Rockefeller which were pretty good, the poblano pepper was interesting, I felt they could have been more robust. Will try pickle dip and deviled eggs next time. Did I say I loved the vibe? They nailed that nostalgic past.  We then split the brussels sprouts which were undeniably amazing, I will have these again. I had the fisherman‘s catch, which was a rockfish and the grits, well as a Southerner the grits weren’t quite up to my standards, the corn nuts were cool and the fish was buttery and so well prepared, but I felt the flavor was more flat. It was definitely a lot of fish though excellent for the price point. My husband had the lentil sloppy Joe ands hands down was so incredible and I will get this next time. We then finished off with a strawberry shortcake, I loved the brown butter (could have used more?) and the strawberries, the mascarpone added a little more sourness than I was expecting, I think I’ll go for the grasshopper pie next time. We will definitely be back and really enjoyed this gem. Did I mention they were playing one of my favorite cult classics clueless on the TV?

    Perfect date night restaurant tucked in the Pearl Hotel. Bar selection is on point and the food is over the top. Very rich Americana style dishes so plan a palate cleanser accordingly
