    One of the best culinary experiences I have ever had! My date was very impressed with The Pony Room, and it was her birthday, in the Chinese Year of the Horse!

    Delicious salads. We had the chopped Cobb and the Crab Louie salads. Great service. It’s always beautiful to sit out on the patio.

    Chicken Panini’s name should be changed to chicken sandwich because panini by definition has grilled pressed bread not regular French bread. That’s very misleading.

    A wonderful five star resort with a well regarded restaurant called the Pony Room one would expect that the guest would respect the quality of the hotel and not dress like they were at some diner. Printed T-shirts, baseball hats shorts seemed very unappropriate. Then to top it off a group of four walk-in with a sizable dog and sit right down next to us indoors when there was a full patio available outside. I will never eat there again, shame on them they’re only looking for the money and not dealing with people not respecting others in the restaurant. The food was adequate and the server was amazing but besides that everything else was ugly. It’s a restaurant where they serve breakfast lunch and dinner because it’s the only restaurant on the premises. You would think that at dinner time they would dress the place up a bit, maybe white table cloths, candles, but no the same feel as eating at a fast food restaurant. Sorry RPV

    We had a very good dinner. The lamb was outstanding. The only disappointment was the soggy caesar salad. But my main complaint was the noise (music) coming from the bar. We sat outside but it was just too loud.
