time to dine

Nosh on new eats at The Pony Room! Tonight, Pony Room Chef Jarrod Moiles and Executive Chef Eric Bauer roll out a brand new menu featuring bites big and small from the sea to the barn and the field to the farm (and then some).

We’re particularly excited about Tender Belly Thursday (that’s tonight!). Hello BBQ Beef Brisket, Jarrod’s Cole Slaw, Creamed Corn and Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. And don’t get us started on the Crispy Saffron Risotto Bites. And the Neuske Applewood Peppered Bacon. And the Crab Cakes….oh the Crab Cakes. Clearly, there is a lot of dining to be done. 

Giddy up!

lalewhite asked: Love the renovation and love your restaurant. Where can I get a set of those fabulous blue Frette napkins?

Hi there! Thanks for getting in touch. We’re so glad to hear you love the results of the renovation. I have reached out to our Food & Beverage team to find the item number and exact color of the napkins. It is likely that they can be ordered through frette.com. Stay tuned!

Hello again, lalewhite! We have two blue napkins, below are the details. They were custom creations for our restaurant, so unfortunately they are not available to the public via Frette at this time. If you would like to touch base with me directly via email regarding the quantity you are looking for, we might be able to order a few extras for you!
