    Excellent menu. We had scallops and salmon entrees. They thought our food took a little long to come out and comped a dessert which we appreciated but wasn't necessary. Definitely will be back.

    Ponti is a lovely restaurant. I’ve gone a number of times for lunch and the food and ambiance is wonderful. First time with drinks for dinner, and they were subpar, but the food made up for it!

    Food portions are quite small. An offering of bread at the table would have been good. Service was friendly but unobtrusive. Food quality was outstanding.

    Nice cap for a day at the museum, or any time downtown.

    afternoon pre-event at DAM early dinner . Greeted at the reception desk -by name to confirm reservation -Beautiful afternoon and window seating. Attentive and casual service - so "just right' from chcking in about readiness to order, re-filling water glasses, clearing plates and replacing flatware - this was a very high end service approach in a welcoming casual environment. Food was wonderful - brussel sprouts tender and a light dressing, my beet salad, partner's crispy grilled cheese with easy adjustment when needed a different cheese, french fries - well because we could. Even when the next shift was coming on and guests began to fill the place, service remained top notch. Coffee and a splurge of dessert - black forest cake - shared - was a delight and the whipped cream the perfect match for the chocolate cake. Kudos to everyone! First time at Ponti - hope to be a very repeat diner.

    Salmon was raw in the center—sent back to be cooked more. No seasoning. Lettuce in beet salad had brown edges. Entirely underwhelming experience.

    Our table of six was very pleased with the dining and service experience. Our cocktails were delicious, and everyone was happy with their order. I loved my cavatelli ragout!

    Creative food choices, good service, but the grilled cheese and Reuben were kind of greasy . Salad excellent and ambiance nice
