   Appreciated the healthy choices; especially the salmon! The gluten-free (GF) options need attention. No options for GF bread or crackers. No options for GF desserts. A suggestion: This was a Mother’s Day buffet. Provide a designated table with only GF options. Mixing GF and non-GF offerings together is not the best practice.

   Check in for the brunch should have been more streamlined. We had to stand in three separate lines before getting seated at our tables. Outside of that our experience was very pleasant.

   Went for the Mother's Day brunch in the large ballroom. Food was fresh, delicious and plentiful! Servers were attentive and reserved tables with the fresh flowers were so appreciated. Please make this an annual tradition.

   The food was very bad like hotel, breakfast buffet bad the vegetables were clearly cut at least the night before and were chalky white and cracking, the roast beef station didn’t have aj jus and was over cooked then incredibly thin slice to compensate. There was not much in the way of salad the desserts were scaled back from the previous year. All in all, it was a much worse experience in the previous year we loved it last year. We’ll never go back again unless it is very clear that something will have changed for the better. How disappointing.  the Denver art Museum as an organization should be embarrassed at what they delivered on this Mother’s Day.

   We had a lovely time. The hostess, Serene, and the server, Steven were kind, inviting, and incredibly helpful. One of our favorite experiences in Denver.

   We received our entree very late but it was taken off our check. The portions are very small for the price. Service was slow although we were one of the few tables at 11:00 am. Disappointed in today's experience.

   What a great find! We wanted to spend the day at the Denver Art Museum and realized that The Ponti serves a lovely lunch offering. Our drinks were all spot-on (smooth, well-crafted) and each of the entrees our party enjoyed were great! From burgers to a tempeh rueben sandwich to a super luscious salmon benedict -- all were cooked perfectly and very tasty -- we definitely will return. One of the highlights of the lunch was our amazing server -- just pleasant, funny, and very efficient. If you are looking to spend some time in the area, I highly recommend The Ponti!

   Food and service were both great. We had the sea scallops, cold spinach & asparagus soup (outstanding) and the smoked trout ravigote. Really cool vibe to the place too. Will definitely return when we’re back in town.

    It was a bizarre,mini, 50+, college reunion but our server took it all in stride. The service was superb, our food was as delicious as it always is, and the restaurant at the bottom of the awesome Denver Art Museum was as lovely as ever!
