| - Having grown up in the valley of the sun I have lost count the amount of times I have driven past Pink Pony. For whatever reason, this weekend was the first time I had tried it. I thought since they had remodeled it, it would be the perfect time to try it! So this past weekend when my boyfriend and I were looking for a place to check out, we decided on Pink Pony since he was as curious as I was.
We made a reservation for 7:30 on open table, when we arrived we were greeted by a friendly hostess. We were sat in a booth in the bar where it was extremly loud. Why they sat us in there I will never know, there were open tables all over the resturant. Everytime someone got out of the booth behind me my seat would move, not wiggle but legitimately move. We were greeted by our friendly waitress, she was knowledgeable of the menu, and offered several recomendations.
We ordered the Wood Fired Octopus as an app and a Romaine salad. Both came out at the same time super fast which was kind of annoying. We had ordered a 36 ounce ribeye to share and we were told that it would take 40 minutes to cook, so the spacing of the food was slightly questionable.
The Octopus was ok but not great - it was Spanish Octopus, Garbanzo Bean Puree, Chives, Crispy Garbanzo Beans - Olive Oil, Salumi Butter and Banyuls Vinegar. It was slightly chewy and need some sort of acid on it - I squeeze of lemon would wake this dish up quite a bit. $13.00
The Romaine salad consited of baby romaine, parmesan
country bread croutons, crispy white anchovy and a citrus & parmesan vinaigrette. Again the salad was ok - the croutons was still pretty chewy, the vinaigrette was lacking a bit. It wasn't bad it just wasnt great. $9.00
As I said above we ordered the 36oz Bone in Ribeye to share which came with 2 beers for $85.00. Since neighter of us drink beer we asked if they would subsitute something else for the beers, which they did without any hesitation, which was nice. We had asked for our steak to be cooked med rare plus, when it came it was so over cooked that it was almost like eating cardboard. We debated for a good 5 minutes on weather we should say something because we had already waited 40 minutes for the steak and we were both pretty hungry. So we ate it err he ate it.
I finally said something to our waitress - the manager came over and said oh it looks like several of the outer areas of your steak were cooked more well done. And told us that was normal. We informed him that the entire steak well done and not med rare like we had asked for. I get it we were eating it but that doesn't make it ok. He offered us free desert.
I just don't understand how that steak even left the kitchen. There was ZERO quality control. Between the cook, and the waitress someone should have noticed this steak wasn't even cooked closely to how we had asked.
I was super disappointed with my meal here and wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone. $150.00 down the drain.
