The profiteroles were below any expectations, It was shared with the waitress, he shared that he is sorry. The dough was at least 5 days old ( it was like bread crumbs) cheap ice cream . The Jin with tonic served blended in a glass ( expected to get it with bottle of tonic on a side or at least to ask how to serve) Hope you will take it as constructive review and fix it , As we like to come to this place, But from time to time the experience is not good like this time.

We had a bridal shower dinner there and the service was fantastic. We had to keep our table small as they don’t accommodate big groups but I can see why. It’s an intimate settings with really friendly free valet( don’t forget to tip) and amazing host and server service. Food was amazing and ambiance is beyond divine. Highly recommend !!!

I have been at the brunch Numerous times This time was terrible My food came in ( eggs ) want salt and pepper Nothing ! I had to walk to the girl seating to ask her to help after a while they brought salt no pepper then few minutes later I got the peppers it was empty by then I finished With aggravation Then i found out they did not bring jam ( I said been there numerous times and always was perfect ) then I had to wait for the jam when I asked our server what is going on she said we are short people ? With attitude My guest ordered chicken sandwich with all the commotion I did not notice he did not eat it He said it was bad So embarrassing I have been coming there for years it was perfect for a while back I had some problems with service and quality of food But in the last times it , was perfect again Except yesterday it was the worst Your valley guys are awesome the last few times the service and the quality was superb This time Adrianna was really busy and not paying attention to anything and with attitude I told her when she told me we are short people you would not accept paying less that the price And ended up giving her a tip also I was so embarrassed in front of my guest I was bragging about this place .

The last time I dined at The Pony Room was 2 years ago (September 2020), and it was great! Really good food, service, etc. I dined there again last night (September 2022), and was very disappointed. The food is extremely overpriced for the taste. Doesn't seem like the chef actually tests out the recipes he/she prepares, and the chef's cooking skills were not up to par. Ration of oil and vinegar on the red wine vinaigrette was off; lamb lollipops were medium-well, even though we had ordered them medium-rare; lobster nachos did not have much lobster meat on them, especially for the price. The only redeeming factor were the churros and the vanilla ice cream--those were delicious.

We celebrated our anniversary at the Pony Room for the second year in a row. The food is always excellent and it is a delight to dine outdoors on the patio. Very idyllic. We often take out-of-town visitors and they always enjoy it. The live music is generally a plus.

Didn't get seated in the back patio as requested (it was full) and had to sit out front where the ambience and noise level are just a tad bit different. Other than that, everything was excellent as usual. Food was incredible and Felipe our waiter/server was the best. He made sure we had very thing we needed. If you visit ask for Felipe or Cayetano - these men make sure the meals are perfect and service is impeccable. Thank you staff for a great Sunday brunch.

I have been looking forward to visiting the Pony Room for quite some time now and although nothing was "wrong" with our visit, nothing really blew me away either. The place, the service, the food – it was all just "meh". High prices as expected and I wouldn't mind that if the food was actually something special, but unfortunately not. Probably won't visit again.

Really love this restaurant usually but this time the food was underwhelming. Normally I’ve found the food to be excellent but ceviche was too acidic, lamb was undercooked and octopus was too spicy. Will be back but found the food quality wasn’t great this time which was disappointing.
