Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was built in 1971 by a man who was not afraid to put his name on his product. Rooted in warm welcomes & excellent food, Tom Ham made his lifelong dream a reality.

• American • Point Loma
Booked 6 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 came for Valentine's weekend, which had a special 3 course menu. Each dish was delicious and the servers explained the make up of each dish which made it even more of an experience. They had disney movies playing on the various screens around the restaurant which made for a nostalgic atmosphere. Highly recommend Ponyboy for date night

    The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Everything exceeded expectations. But the real star of the night was our server, Alivia. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better with her great recommendations and welcoming energy. It’s rare to find service that feels this genuine, and she truly went above and beyond.

    Our experience was perfect! My friend and I went here to celebrate our birthdays together. We each ordered two drinks. Friend got the Dreamsickle and I ordered the Mexican Point Break margarita. We shared the Short Rib. It was delicious! My second drink didn’t look or taste like the first and I told the waitress. She offered to take it back and have them make another. The second drink was perfectly delicious like the first. For dessert, they gave us complimentary churro beignets. They were superb! Loved the white and caramel dip but the chocolate one tasted artificial. We were offered a scoop of ice cream as well but it never came. No matter as we were plenty full! Service was not overly quick but it worked for us as we sat there for three hours catching up and never felt rushed. Tables on either side of us came and went but we were never hurried along. I have been wanting to try this spot for quite some time and can’t wait to return to try more of their comfort food. It was really hard to choose and the food they brought to other tables looked enticing. We were very happy with our large portion of short rib though. I’ll be back!!
