• American • Point Loma
Booked 13 times today
Nearly 70 years after its arrival onto the San Diego boutique hotel landscape, Point Loma’s iconic mid-century modern Pearl Hotel has unveiled the latest chapter in its storied history with an ambitiously reimagined restaurant and bar: Ponyboy. The inspiration behind Ponyboy extends beyond its décor and menu. Named after the protagonist of S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, the restaurant conveys the spirit of individuality and rebellion in a time when hope and resilience were pivotal to navigating the challenges of a changing world. Guests will sense the nod to cultural iconography as they step into a space that feels familiar and refreshingly new. The ambiance is designed to harken back to a bygone era when traditional American comfort foods and elaborate dinner parties were both fashionable and fun. We look forward to seeing you soon, drink in hand, soaking in the sun pool-side. Stay gold, San Diego.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Cesarina. We were seated promptly (arriving right on our reservation time). The service was efficient and our server was very familiar with the menu, and frank and open with his descriptions/comments about various menu items. The food was served surprisingly promptly, and everything our party of 3 had was delicious. The pasta was exceptional. Everyone we interacted with acknowledged my wife's birthday (which was the occasion we were celebrating). The atmosphere is comfortable and not too noisy (of overly loud). We had a wonderful evening and everyone at Cesarina should be commended for the fine job/product they provide.

    The dishes have amazing flavor! However, speak with your server if you’re particularly sensitive to spicy dishes. All the servers were lovely. And of course, this is probably the best night time view in town!

    Courtney and Alexa were perfect in making our anniversary celebration just right. The service is always excellent and Courtney sets the standard for that. Our food, timing and ambiance were exactly what we wanted for a quiet night with great views of the city and a well-prepared meal. Thanks to the team for all!

    we had the most magical experience at sea level restaurant on Harbor Island in San Diego. What a beautiful day it must’ve been 80° with a clear sky overlooking the San Diego skyline. We were so fortunate to have my favorite waitress, Bernadette she has the best smile and the best attitude of any server, waitress waiter I know in all of San Diego county. And having gone there so many times in the past 10 or 12 years, we got to know the best assistant to server, his name was Jimmy attention to detail is unbelievable and he’s so pleasant and he recognizes us every time we come there we had a great experience and the food was incredible and I don’t want to say this out loud but my wife and I split the fish and chips and for an extra three dollars you get four pieces of fish instead of three love this place you can’t do better than an afternoon outside at C level.

    Came for my husband’s birthday and had the best time! I worked with the management in advance to make sure the night was extra special! They curated an individualized menu for us AND they made a personal cake just for my husband! It was a wonderful night! Our waitress was amazing, the staff was attentive, and the manager (Serena) went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! 10/10 recommend!!!
