Worst Service Ever! – This was the worst place I have ever been to in my life! The waitress we were assigned to was rude, snobby, forgetful, unfriendly, talked down to us, and disappeared whenever needed. We waited so long that we had to ask other waiters and waitresses for menus, to take our order, and to remind them of our drink orders. When one of our friends came late and joined our party, the waitress didn't even acknowledge her and get her a menu. The drinks were watered down and the calamari was partially burnt and wa... read more

Top Notch customer service – Went to Ponti for the first time a couple weeks ago, and happy with the choice! My boyfriend and I both were looking forward to the Lamb and Polenta after reviewing their menu online. We shared the dungeness crab 3 ways- my fave is the crab mango salad. Also shared the green salad with blue cheese and walnuts. Good salad- can't say much as we ALWAYS order any salad with blue cheese and nuts, however I wasn't fond of the beets. Enough of the sharing! We each ordered the lamb and polenta and it was... read more

Good, bad, good, bad ... all in one visit – My husband and I went to Ponti for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. We had reservations and were greeted warmly by a very gracious hostess. We were promptly led to our table by a young gal who appeared nervous and didn't speak. At our table, we were delighted to find some scattered rose petals and an anniversary card. When I commented on how nice this was, the young gal simply stared at us and hurriedly left. Our friendly server came a few minutes later, offered us the w... read more

REALLY GOOD SEAFOOD – I visited Ponti for the first time last week. I chose Ponti because it was highly recommended by friends who live in my neighborhood. Our group of 4 was treated to an amazing table and we watched the snow fall outside through the huge bay window. However, the view really paled in comparison to the food - which was AMAZING. For the appetizers we had the seared scallops with a ginger brown butter sauce, calamari and tempura prawns with a mango dipping sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauc... read more

Greatly Disappointed – My daughter and I had been talking for sometime about wanting to give Ponti a try, so we did so. on Christmas Eve. What a mistake. From the moment we sat down, it went down hill. (We did get water right away though.) The waitress came and got our drink order, that did go well. Then we ordered dinner and a bottle of wine. The wine guy came and it was not what we had ordered, so he had to go back and get the correct bottle. At $85 a bottle we expected to get what we ordered. When our meals arrived they w... read more

Great local favorite – I have always loved Ponti. I came here first when it opened in 1990. We sat at the fireplace, there was a huge snow storm, and ordered a couple of coffe nudges. We have been going back ever since. The food and service is always excellent. The owner, Rich Malia, knows us by name. Where do you get that anymore. We have taken our staff and clients for many dinners. Always good, without exception. We went tonight, a cold and wintery night, just like our first visit in 1990. Rich greeted us and we sank into... read more

We Don't Get It! – How did this restaurant get such a great review? We must have been there on an off night. We were so unimpressed we will never return. We felt very uncomfortable from the get go. The valet guy was very rude, the hostess was upset with us because we didn't want to sit in the bar. We had a reservation and asked if we could sit in the dining room. We were told it would be a long wait, however 3 tables were wide open. When I peeked around the corner to see the empty tables I asked why we couldn't sit at one of... read more

continues to impress – I have gone to the 25 for $25 at Ponti for the past 3 years and have yet to be disappointed. This year my boyfriend and I went a little early to sit in the bar before our dinner. The bartender was extremely nice and promptly provided us with water and took our drinks orders. The syrah I ordered was very good. My parents arrived shortly after us and even though we were early, we were seated right away. Our server, Shawn, was extremely knowledgable about the menu and very nice. For an appetizer I had the... read more

Wonderful Seafood, good ambiance – I was treated to lunch here and long before our smoking ban was in effect, I was impressed to see that Ponti started a smoking ban so early on. As a true Seattleite, I should like seafood however I tend to be picky, but the seafood at Ponti is great and I plan to come back for dinner next time.
