Job Description

Pony Dining’s fires have been burning in the heart of The Rocks since 2006. As pioneers of wood-fire cooking in Sydney, our ironbark grill sits at the heart of our open kitchen, where premium steak cuts, fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables meet the raw, elemental power of flame. Inspired by Argentinian grill culture and grounded in Australian produce, every dish carries that unmistakable wood-fired depth. From steak to cocktails, the fire shapes it all—a true front-row experience at one of the best steak restaurants in The Rocks.
