Newly opened restaurant-bar at the Pearl Hotel in Point Loma offers fresh takes on popular dishes and drinks from the 1950s and ’60s
Every night of service at newly opened Ponyboy restaurant, general manager Ian Ward hears diners share how the menu conjures up fond memories of the dishes their grandmother used to make.
Ponyboy, named after the lead character in S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel “The Outsiders,” opened last month at the Pearl Hotel on Rosecrans Street, between Fenelon and Garrison streets.The vintage menu is an homage to the history of the 23-room boutique hotel, which opened in 1959 and was acquired and renovated in 2019 by the Casetta Group.
Besides working together at Addison, Ward and Danny Romero are the co-founders of Tortoise, a now-dormant pop-up supper club called Tortoise that they launched in 2018. Romero said he loves working with Ward because their skillsets complement one another. Creating Ponyboy’s menu started with Ward’s vast collection of vintage cookbooks, including several by his favorite midcentury food writer M.F.K. Fisher. Romero combed through hundreds of recipes to determine which dishes would be menu essentials, and how they could be re-created to suit the modern diner’s palate.
Vintage TV Guide issues can be found in the retro bathrooms at Ponyboy restaurant at the Pearl Hotel in Point Loma.
