Plan your visit to the restaurant Pony Room

Against a dreamy backdrop of lemon trees and hot air balloons, the Pony Room cultivates an art de vivre that’s pure California: sun-drenched and flavorful. The chef offers cuisine that tells a story of Californian abundance, using ingredients from local farms and ranches and the coast. Bold flavors, finessed presentation and a welcoming atmosphere offer a relaxed dining experience that is both authentic and elegant.

You can't really say you've seen San Diego until you have been to Balboa Park! Balboa Park is a 1,200 acre cultural park located right in the heart of Downtown San Diego. It is wonderful for families or the lone traveler looking for beauty and knowledge. With over 20 museums, there is something interesting for everyone. Our favorites are the Museum of Man, Museum of Photographic Arts, or The San Diego Air and Space Museum!

Torrey Pines Natural Reserve is San Diego “must see”. With multiple trails, you can choose to enjoy a short walk or a strenuous workout. We recommend the “Beach Trail”. The trail begins at the top of the reserve and leads through bluffs overlooking the Pacific all the way down to the beach.
