I would say about this place, watch what you eat. I've seen the kitchen in the back. It smelled worst than a sewage treatment. I could not believe they even serve food to live people. I called the Dept. of Health on them. Did my part to save your lives. But I'm not sure about the City of Clearwater. Save your lives and skip this dump. I would not even risk my own kitty to any of their fish. Sorry Cafe Ponte
Great Lunch! – I had an amazing Balsamic Salmon for lunch. Price was very reasonable.
Not worth hype – Went for special occasion. Table not ready. My duck was dry and companion's dish lukewarm. Two of wines requested not available. Nice atmosphere, but waiter was disappointing.
I don't see what all the fuss is about – Having read many reviews praising this restaurant my husband and I went here for lunch a while back. We had crabcakes for an appetizer. This may be our personal taste but they were so overly fishy it was difficult to eat them. He had a asian kind of beef stirfry which was really really tough. And my meal was luke warm. Maybe it was an off day, but based on our lunch experience I would never go there for dinner.
Overall Great experience and a special place to experience food – We have been to Cafe Ponte several times and have always had great service. The quality and uniqueness of the food is something you do not find in the Tampa Bay area. Waitstaff is great and the different dishes are phenomenal. We take all of our friends there when they are in town. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. We do not go there that often but everytime everything has been great.
Best restaurant in the Bay area, period, no contest! – We found this place a couple of years back and it's our go to restaurant for any special occoasion. We celebrated our first anniversary last Saturday, and it was just phenominal. They had the table covered with rose pedals! Nice touch, but the food (Foie Gras appetizer, Duck breast meal) is world class. Our waiter was just awesome as well. I can't remember his name, which is a shame because I would request him every time. When Wolfgang Puck comes to town to hock his ware... read more
Who knew you could find this in Tampa Bay? – Foodie paradise from the focaccia with tapenade and European-style butter to the surprise demitasse to the fig/prosciutto tart to the perfectly prepared Ahi tuna to the just light enough lemongrass panna cotta. Absolutely exceeded my expectations of what I could find in Clearwater. Waiter was fabulous and staff kept the water coming. If appreciating great food makes me a yuppie, than so be it buddy. More tapenade for me.
Over rated – Booked well in advance requesting 'discreet' table. Got there, table wasn't ready. Finally seated nearest a bar area and what looked like a service prep area. So overcrowded, patrons (and waiters) had to bump our seating to get in or out. Wait staff slow and unattentive. Evening was too long, taking an unreasonable amount of time to place and receive orders. Food was cold and mediocre. This place is all hype. Total bill for one drink per, one bottle moderately priced wine, six entrees, two desserts and a coffee ... read more
very disappointing meal at Cafe Ponte – Having read several positive reviews here and elsewhere of Cafe Ponte, we decided to try it for a celebratory dinner. Although some dishes were good, the meal was a disappointing experience overall, especially the dry and tough osso buco served with gummy risotto. The burrata and fois gras were quite good, the baked oysters drowned in their topping. We also found the service very unaccommodating. If anyone has had any better experiences there, I'd love to hear about it.
