★★★★★ 5.0 Irene Paz · Nov 2025

We stoped here for brunch, made reservations because we are just those type of people, when we arrived we could’ve sat inside or out, we chose to sit outside which was nice and heated with cozy warmers. We chose Bloody Marys which were delicious, 🤤 along with the lemon ricotta pancakes and the breakfast burrito! We enjoyed it so much we took our food photos as an after thought !!! Enjoy ! Our host who sat us had such a big personality we didn’t catch his name but everyone seemed to enjoy his presence as much as we did 🙌🏽 Great place we will be coming back ✔️

This restaurant served us undercooked chicken on Valentine’s Day. This was an incredibly serious health code violation; instead of comping our meal, they replaced the chicken with another (more expensive dish) that they charged us for in full. The salmon and steak that they served us were also slightly undercooked (but chicken has a salmonella risk so we could not risk that). The restaurant did waive our wine corkage fee ($25) and gave us limoncellos on the house (which we did not ask for, or end up drinking).

Every winery we stopped at recommended Pony of you wanted a great smash burger. They did not disappoint! The burger was cooked to perfection with the crispy edges you expect from a great smash burger. Their sauce was really good and the fries were crispy. Great patio dining lets you enjoy the weather and people watch while you dine. Highly recommend.

We were looking for a place for lunch and saw this place we had never tried. We had the smash burger and fries. It was SO good! All the food I saw there looked just beautiful. The waitress was charming and the atmosphere was very nice. We sat outside on the patio because it was a sunshiney day. The inside looked really pretty too. I will definitely go back!

Pony just completed a remodel and re-do of their menu. The remodel is excellent! I mostly get the BECA, which I highly recommend. Today, they had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich that looked amazing! I added avocado to it, and it was wonderful! I have not had their new cocktails yet, but we are planning on visiting in January for food and drinks.
