Took the family there for Easter lunch and was really looking forward to visiting the Pink Pony again. We had been there years ago (before the closure and reopening) and had some nice memories of the place. Old Town Scottsdale was packed (Easter and spring training ) and we walked past a couple of packed restaurants on our way to the Pink Pony. I was a little surprised when we arrived at the restaurant and found that it was almost empty.
There were only two other tables with guests so we were seated promptly. The restaurant is gorgeous, and had several pieces of art to remind you of their close association with spring training baseball over the years. Our server arrived quickly and got us settled in with drinks and an appetizer. The Pink Pony pretzels came to the table quickly and were tasty. We placed our lunch order and hoped that the lunch entrees would be just as good.
Unfortunately the lunch entrees were a disappointment. The bacon on my mom's BLT was burnt (not just crispy, but burnt), the chicken in my son and wife's chicken sandwich was very dry and the Wood Oven Vegetable Medley I ordered arrived with a small portion of 2 slices of carrot, 3 small mushrooms, 3 small squares of chili pepper, and 4 small fingerling potatoes. The menu described these as "herb marinated" but there was no taste of any seasoning whatsoever. It was served with cole slaw and baked beans, but the steak sauce listed on the menu was missing. None of us finished our lunch.
Overall it is a lovely space and the service was very god, but the food was a big disappointment. As the restaurant was virtually empty there is no excuse for the food. I'd guess the poor food has something to do with the lack of customers.
Not recommended and we will not return.
