Good coffee. Beautiful grounds.

The food, on the other hand, is a different story. The descriptions sound delicious but don't live up to what they're offering. Ramzay's chicken sandwich was the cause of mass indigestion in our office. A deep friend chicken mistake! Very oily, not very tasty.

If you order the lamb and feta salad, you may as well prepare yourself to eat a cup of salt. Every mouthful tastes overly salted, fatty, and with only diced tomatoes and wilted iceburg lettuce mixed in. Did not come with advertised olives, either! Yuk - the lamb was awful.

Nice breakfasts, however, the halloumi cheese that they use is Disgusting. We had a table of 7 people for breakfast, and about 4 of us asked for halloumi cheese on the side ($3 extra). It was so salty that it was inedible, even with bread. When I told the waitress how bad the cheese was, she did not care, she just said that's the type of halloumi they use. She did not deduct the extra cost for the disgusting cheese.

Overpriced for what it is, you're not fine dining, Criniti's! Pasta here has always been bad, overcooked, mushy and sub-par ingredients. I ordered a marinara pizza and it came with empty shells on top, disgusting. The mains from the grill are good but the value does not measure up, nonetheless, this restaurant is always packed with young, loud, unfussy eaters!

My friends and I were very disappointed after our dining experience at Pony - and we had been looking forward to it for a while! The food is very bland and lacks any creativity (the prawn linguini lacks any taste whatsoever, the salad is purely lettuce leaves with no taste of dressing). I wouldn't say it was 'bad' but with so many amazing options in Sydney for the same value, I wouldn't dine here again.

The desserts are fine. The wait staff were pompous, sarcastic, not very helpful and kept trying to rush us out even though there were tables available. Strange place.
