• American • Point Loma

Booked 6 times today

Nearly 70 years after its arrival onto the San Diego boutique hotel landscape, Point Loma’s iconic mid-century modern Pearl Hotel has unveiled the latest chapter in its storied history with an ambitiously reimagined restaurant and bar: Ponyboy. The inspiration behind Ponyboy extends beyond its décor and menu. Named after the protagonist of S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, the restaurant conveys the spirit of individuality and rebellion in a time when hope and resilience were pivotal to navigating the challenges of a changing world. Guests will sense the nod to cultural iconography as they step into a space that feels familiar and refreshingly new. The ambiance is designed to harken back to a bygone era when traditional American comfort foods and elaborate dinner parties were both fashionable and fun. We look forward to seeing you soon, drink in hand, soaking in the sun pool-side. Stay gold, San Diego.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the poulet baguette and loved it. I substituted salad for the fries, but my friends had the fries and said that they were exceptional.

Delicious menu, enough diverse options without overdoing it - everything we had was amazing! Breakfast tacos yum! The Benedict (their take on it is smaller which gives you some room for potatoes or bacon!) and it is mouth watering good. I’ll be dreaming about the Coast Toast until I have it again! Excellent service! The servers and bartenders are total pros, so you feel well taken care of. It feels so easy and nicely casual, yet Beaumont’s is a well- oiled machine! And the drinks! We loved the Don’t You Judge Me (bubbly refreshing, but powerful) and the Bloody Mary. I’m going back as soon as possible 😋😍
