"Replacing former Pearl Hotel restaurant Charles + Dinorah (RIP) is the extremely vibey Ponyboy. Swing by during their daily “golden hour” for $1 oysters and drinks starting at $7, or book a table for one Wednesday evening just to experience their iconic “dive in” movie nights. Locals and travelers alike enjoy the more extensive dinner menu helmed by creative director and Ponyboy general manager Ian Ward, culinary director Danny Romero, executive chef Josh Reynolds, and sommelier Kyle South; Ward, Romero, and South are all formerly of the Michelin-starred restaurant Addison. Dig in to the “juicy Lucy” — a wagyu patty burger on a pillowy potato bun with fried onions and Alabama white sauce — or share the pickle dip with an optional topping of caviar. And while the ambiance generally is trendy and romantic (read: great for a date night or solo drink at the bar with a book), the kids menu makes this a family-friendly spot for hotel guests with little ones, too. Leave room for the poached pear dessert topped with mascarpone cream and an almond streusel." - Keri Bridgwater
