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.

Love the ambience, service and food and wine! The food that was good when first opened has gotten better! Thoroughly enjoyable as we ate salad, polpette, pizza, chicken, lamb and pasta carbonara. The Italian red wine was perfect for us. Thanks and see you again to the team at Elvira including Nick and Andrea and the rest of the team who was awesome:)

My only complaint is that when we arrived at 6:30 it was so noisy that we could not hear each other talk . The noise died down by around 8:00 .
