PONY DINING is a marvellous Australian Restaurant in Sydney’s The Rocks. Best brisket , best steak and best entree for 2018. Check out full review up on Spooning Australia.

Loved it here. Lobster tails were succulent and the lamb was perfect. The broccoli also very good. The smoky flavour is the key difference.

Elliot Chance

There is a regular $38 special where you can choose a main, entree or desert and a glass of wine .

Sigrid de Castella

The Roasted Cauliflower $12 is incredible, Woodfire Grilled Salmon $28 is tiny and overpriced, lunch special burger is good but the bun is very average, Good service , great atmosphere. Worth visiting.

Elliot Chance

The food was very good considering how touristy the area is.

Jessica D-K

Possibly the best scotch fillet I've ever eaten, the beans were perfectly cooked. Everything was delicious and the service impeccable. Highly recommended.

Todd Green

If you don't have a reservation you can sit on the patio in the bar area. The put a board on a little table. A bit awkward, but the food is worth it.

Make sure you book or be prepared to wait. Ever a favourite Pony's menu changes with a regularity that keeps even the locals interested. Good wine list-go buy the bottle and the beef cheek is gold

Exceptional service, divine food. Get a table inside by the window. Save room for the Creme brûlée or chocolate mousse cake .

Tucked away in The Rocks, this is a modern restaurant to dine in for their small plates to share. Great vibe

Nathalie Negre

Excellent dining experience. Food, wine , service and atmosphere. All enjoyable.

Kimberley Lee

The food is always amazing, wood fire oven locks in all the juices of the fish and meats. Staff friendly and helpful. Great vibe, schmick & classy but not arrogant and still relaxed. Impressive.

Jason Yu

The 12 hour brisket just melts in your mouth. Nice wine menu . Cool vibes.

Erik Veland

"can we order some wine ?" "Oh, I'll come back for the wine ." 25 min later, stop other waitress ; order cab sav and Tempranillo; 5 min later "was that a Chardonnay ?";10 min later bring Sav Blanc . WUT?
