    The Pony Room was the perfect spot to celebrate friendship and gratitude. As two happily married couples, we honored the husbands’ 45+ years of friendship with incredible food, creative cocktails, and live music that set the perfect mood. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

    I took my mom to Sunday brunch at The Pony Room to celebrate her birthday. Our server, Jacqueline, was excellent. Every one of her suggestions was spot on, especially the Carajillo cocktail. She made our visit a very special one. Thank you!

    Too expensive for average food. Had lunch at Balboa Bay Club the day before and it was much better food and 30% less expensive Salad was overdressed and ahi tuna was not high grade. Disappointing for a Relais & Chateau.
