    Favorite restaurant ever! Amazing vibe in the bar with incredible live music. Drinks are delicious and the house made focaccia with whipped ricotta and hot honey is the best bread I’ve ever eaten! Must try!

    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!

    The food was delicious. Lots of children in the dining area. I found it refreshing to see the young families. The kids added to the fun. I’m happy they were welcome.

    Was a beautiful day to have lunch out on the patio. The homemade chips & guacamole and the margaritas was the best! Love the quiche and hamburgers
