What people say
Had a fantastic and relaxing lunch on the rear patio overlooking a historic laneway in The Rocks. The food was absolutely delicious and service was good. I’ll be sure to return!
Pony Dining The Rocks…..a sure gallop with good food. The waiters were polite and attentive to the orders. Be sure ti make reservations as it is a popular place.
We had a wonderful experience at Pony Steakhouse. We ordered two different steaks - the ribeye and the sirloin - both paired with salad greens. Each steak was cooked to perfection, beautifully tender with rich, well-balanced flavours. We were seated outside, which added to the lovely ambience. The service was fantastic; our server took the time to thoughtfully explain the menu and offer recommendations, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and would highly recommend.
Stumbled upon this place and it was just what we needed; fresh flavours, beautifully cooked food, great location. Order the special lunches chicken salad and tuna with soba noodles. Of course we couldn't stick to the special and had more wine and dessert. Overall pretty good value and we will be back.
The best Restaurant in Australia!!! An absolute diamond of culinary dinning! My husband and I spent 2 nights in Sydney (the rocks) and this restaurant was so good we booked twice! Fantastic varied menu with an open cooking station to admire and the opportunity to choose your own fresh lobster from the tank. The unique wood fire grill brings the most amazing flavours and the steak was mouth watering! We tried the Kangaroo skewers which were delicious and ordered a lobster to share, has to the best lobster we have ever eaten! The desserts were also superb, beautiful and light. The ambience of the restaurant is fantastic, the staff were so friendly and experienced and the wine list was well researched. I would totally recommend anyone to experience this incredible restaurant! Special thanks to Neil and Rodge and of course Saoirse for making our experience so special! Hope to see you again, Tracey and Steve x
