Not as good as the first visit but still nice. Ravioli lacked seasoning and taste, wish places put salt on the tables instead of having to flag down the waiter for some. Yorkshire pudding were burnt which was disappointing, pork was nice though as was the mushrooms and foccacia. Didn't enjoy the outdoor area with the smokers.

We came by for an earlyish dinner around 1700. We didn't book but was able to get a table. The menu looked quite interesting with quite a large selection of items. We grabbed a few items to share.The chicken liver parfait came with a nice stack of focaccia. The flavour of the parfait and the focaccia also came with salted butter. I also quite enjoyed the fried bread layered with caramelised onions. The kina tagliatelle was quite interesting as it was salty and creamy. the duck breast was cooked quite well and the cabbage with it was delicious. The spice flavour of the spiced lamb was really nice. It had a nice range of flavour and a nice chariness to it. We got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and that was quite rich and tasty.The food here is really good. It did get a bit loud as it filled up and the place was full when we left. It is a nice option for tasty meals.

Fantastic food highly recommended the delicious summer roast dinner. I am looking forward to trying the winter roast dinner, which I have been informed by the staff, This will include a yorkshire pudding.I visited the hotel Ponsonby twice and had great experience both times. Great atmosphere, beautiful decor with great service and a excellent selection of drinks. I love the outside area

Usual hangout. Love there vibe, outdoor seating is amazing on a good weather day. But inside is pretty cozy too. In summer afternoons or winter nights inside is preferable. Overall in evenings it gets quite busy so be patient with your orders. Staff is helpful and friendly

Spent a lovely evening at Hotel Ponsonby. Loved the vibe and the food! We had the focaccia with salmon mousse (4/5), trevally (3/5), Tempura prawn(5/5), Sirloin steak (5/5) and Truffle fries (5/5). Highly recommend the tempura prawn literally I can have it everyday! And the sirloin steak was cooked perfectly well, rich, tender and full of flavour. And I must shout out to the truffle fries which was legit the best ever.

Gnocchi was out of this world and so was the service. Amazing staff that went out of their way to make our dining experience memorable! One of the floor staff saw that I was struggling with the strong sunshine and offered me his sunglasses- so amazing!

Delicious food and drinks in a hip and classy environment. The focaccia bread is dynamite! The grilled dishes were all be very tasty. The pumpkin is a sleeper and deserves more attention. All perfectly seasoned. Service was on point. Came here around 3pm on a Friday and it was already bustling with patrons sipping on drinks. Very cool spot to have drinks and/or a bite to eat.

I have some mixed feelings about this restaurant that I would like to express. Let's start with the positive aspects:Pros:- The restaurant provides a pleasant environment and offers a memorable experience. I particularly enjoyed the nostalgic vibes and the well-executed decorations.- The staff members were satisfactory, although they could improve in terms of proactively informing customers about the daily specials that are not listed on the menu.Now, moving on to the negatives:Cons:- Despite the appealing presentation, the taste of the food did not live up to my expectations. It seemed more appetizing than it actually turned out to be.- The mushrooms dish, in particular, had a rancid taste which was quite disappointing.- The burger was average, lacking any exceptional flavors or distinguishing features.- Even the water had a strange fishy taste, which made me question whether it was due to the water source or the glasses not being adequately cleaned.Overall, while the restaurant had its positive aspects, the underwhelming taste of the food and the presence of some unsatisfactory elements left me somewhat disappointed.
