With less than an hour to decide on a venue to take the mother out for her birthday, I decided on Pony dining as my mother only likes to be taken out to fine dining restaurants with a view and Pony dining has spectacular views of the Story bridge and the Brisbane river. Despite the lack of white tablecloths (noted, also by the mother), Pony dining has a lovely outdoor seating area perfect for breezy afternoon lunches and balmy summer evenings. Deciding not to over-order this time as said mother had just returned from an overseas trip, we decided on a light starter of pomegranate and basil dressed oysters which were amazingly fresh little plump morsels of sea-salt divinity. Our main, th...
Ok, so I booked a table for my girlfriend and I for valentines day dinner for the 8pm seating. I booked for the VIP seating where my girlfriend and I were meant to have a table on the balcony overlooking the river, we paid an extra 100$ for this. On arrival we were told that the first seating was just about to be finished and they were going to set up our table in a few minutes. The waiter asked us to take a seat at the bar and they would come and get us. After thirty minutes no one came to get us and we couldnt wait much longer due to work the next day so I told the waiter to seat us inside if its quicker. At about 9 we were finally seated INSIDE. We were served with our entree at 9.30 and...

I was here a couple of weeks ago for a friend's birthday. We had a large table of about 16 so had the set menu at $75pp. Entrees were nice but not quite enough as they were share plates. All but 3 people ordered the steak for main. The accompaniments were really lovely and inventive and the sides of chips and salad were great but the steaks were all terrible. All steaks were two levels under - those who ordered med rare including myself got blue steak. I don't mind rare meat but others at the table were very shocked. One of the ladies cut into the steak and ended up blood spitting out onto her top. The cut was really poor, thankfully they were big steaks as a number of us were left with half...
Dining with family for a special occasion, we were delighted to have a table outside on a sunny Brisbane day. We ordered a couple of starters to share and then a main each. When the food was delivered, we were surprised to see the fish main was half size of my nephew's chicken and chips kids meal. When we were ready for dessert we asked if we could have the cake we had asked them to store in their fridge (aware they would probably charge a nominal fee for plates, knife etc.) But instead we were told that we simply couldn't eat it there. While obviously not the end of the world, it perhaps would have been nice to be told that when we handed the cake over in the first place.
Booked Pony to celebrate my partner's birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make our night memorable. We have a lovely quiet table looking into the city, right beside the windows. We ordered some wine to start (Kalleske, Pirathon Shiraz, 2015) and the sharing lamb dish with chimichurri sauce and the cauliflower side. Then we topped it off with two amazing desserts. You must try the Bombe Alaska. The dark chocolate marquise was good too but very rich. The lovely staff sang Jason a Happy Birthday as our desserts came out. Overall the service, ambience and food were all 5 ⭐️. Thank you Pony dining for a wonderful evening!
Second time at Pony, the first with a group and set menu which was fine. Returned last week al la carte and ordered red meat from the grill and red wine from a decent list. Was pleasantly surprised - a really good and well cooked piece of beef. Would come again but probably not venture too far off piste from the grill staples.

We came on a moderately busy night. The waitress was very attentive and friendly! I got the gnocci as a main and it was amazing. Overall food was really nice - and there were heaps of options.
Food was incredible! Staff were amazing- very professional! Service was quick with no problems. The view is amazing, it was nice and private on the night we were there which was great.
