I visited Podfood about 4 years ago and thought it was fabulous, unfortunately, I think it is a victim of its own success. Food was nice, but not interesting. You find the menu in any cafe. $5.50 is too much for a regular sized coffee!

I visited on a Sunday night and was pleasantly surprised. We had 3 mains, 2 glasses of wine and 1 dessert for $80 which I thought was outstanding value, however, I think this was a Sunday night promo. Meal size was generous and service was just right. My only complaint was the dining room is very loud. The doughnut for dessert were nicely flavoured with rosemary sugar, but a little doughy for me. All in all a good time was had by all!

Main meal of lamb was delicious as was fennel and orange side salad. All my friends also enjoyed their meals. My only grip with Pony is their reservation system, you can only book at set times and if you take an earlier slot of 7 pm you have to get out by 9 pm. My friends and I were booked at 7 pm and reminded no less than 5 times we had to be out by 9, however, our dessert orders were taken at 8.45 pm which resulted in my apple tarte being slightly undercooked. Just on desserts, the baked custard is extremely rich and more like a cross between a flourless chocolate cake and mousse.

Looking from the street this place is not what you expect. Had a very nice meal here and had difficulty choosing what to order from the menu. Waiter very helpful and knowledgeable. My only complaint was extra long wait between entree and main. Lovely Aesop soap and cream in the bathrooms!

Living local I have been looking forward to visiting for some time - what a disappointment. Food served was not as described on the menu and not very nice, when I bought this to the attention of the head waiter he said 'no one else has complained'. The bill was wrongly calculated even after double checking that children's meals were free. Thought it was overpriced and no plans to go back!

We found the menu too eclectic with too much focus on 'jellies' and 'air'. The meal size was on the small side and the presentation was a bit busy. Not too many Australian wines on their wine list. A pleasant experience but not a stand out. Average value for money.
