    What a treat Ponto Lago is!!! This place is so memorable for its extraordinary flavors that we came back twice in a month. The bespoke menu curated by The Passionate Chef surprises in its brights tastes and unique pairings.The restaurant is gorgeous with a world-class view but you can’t take your eyes off the glistening open kitchen where a dozen staff orchestrate preparation and execution of your meal under focused lights around shiny grills and elegant prep zones. It is artful. The meals are amazing — fishes & meats roasted over embers w/dimension sauces & inspired tastes that excite. We wanted to try everything so we ordered a variety to share. It was a beautiful night and each experience brings us back for more. Dessert can’t be missed either. You’ll never forget this unique gem and its quality food. We’ll be back!

    Campfire was amazing! I thought that “this is the best broccoli of your life” was a joke but it was actually so amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered! And staff were all very warm and personable. 10000% will be returning!

    Chelsea is a star. Such great service and personality. The lunch bowls are a great value although the protein is a very small amount. I love their egg drop soup - way more flavorful than other restaurants. The new chicken teriyaki is super sweet and I wouldn’t get it again. The lettuce wraps are yummy and are available on happy hour.
