About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

Pony’s executive chef and team are the masters of the wood fire grill, producing contemporary and modern Australian dishes of the season’s freshest produce since its opening in 2006.

In an open kitchen where Exec Chef Neil Nolan enjoys a chat with our guests, the Argentinian grill fuelled by iron bark takes dominance with the menu created around this masterpiece.

Pony is located in Sydney’s oldest cobblestone laneway within the historic and bustling dining precinct of The Rocks offering inside and outside seating. Our carefully crafted boutique selection of wines and delicious cocktail list complements our a la carte and group menus.

    Great portion size for price! And we were lucky enough to secure an inside table although we have sat outside on a shared table, it was lovely to have a different experience inside. Most of all the food was delicious and we were satiated after a starter and main each with a shared side and dessert. With the cost coming in at $230 for 2 people with a cocktail, and 2 glasses of wine, this is a very reasonably priced and excellent choice for special occasions and date nights - on the fancier side with meals sizes that won’t leave you hungry! Highly recommend!

    Dear Lizzie, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed dining inside this time and found the food, portions, and value to your liking. It's great to hear we could help make your special occasion memorable. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards, Pony Dining Team

    On my booking I requested an inside table and received confirmation by text. On arrival at restaurant they stated an outside table was only available. It was terrible. They stated late that day they sent me another text saying inside table not available, I did not receive that text message. All of my 5 guest complained . I will not go back to the Pony restaurant again.

    My partner and I both chose different steaks cooked to medium rare, and always share our dishes. My eye fillet was amazing, partners rib eye was very grisly and hard to eat which was disappointing. Our side dishes of charred broccolini and the other heirloom tomatoes were delicious. The jalapeño margaritas and smoked flatbreads were also delicious.
    Pony Dining The RocksResponded on 8 May 2025
    Dear Cat, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the eye fillet, side dishes, jalapeño margaritas, and smoked flatbreads — and it’s always great to hear when guests enjoy sharing dishes to get the full experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the rib eye didn’t meet expectations. We’ve passed your feedback on to our kitchen team to review, as we always aim to ensure consistency and quality across all our offerings. We hope to welcome you both back again soon and have the opportunity to provide you with a flawless dining experience. Warm regards, The Pony Dining Team

    Excellent service from our hostesses - was able to still seat us despite our reduced numbers (sick friend). Also gave us a post dinner treat on the house. Wonderfully professional and efficient staff. Will return again. Pony is worth visiting at least once a year.

    Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for your visit — and for the chocolate for the team, that was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture! We absolutely loved having you all with us and hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards, The Pony Dining Team
