Best Fire place in town – I went to one of my favorite restaurants, Ponti, Saturday night. It is such a warm and great restaurant. I chose to sit by the fireplace because it was cool outside. Warming up, I decided on a few of my favorites; the grilled calamari, the cajun prawns, and a great artichoke salad. Ponti's firepalce in the bar is always inviting and the warm atmosphere and service is always great. They really care here. I always feel appreciated, no matter which waiter takes care of me. They have a great bartender, ... read more

Don't Go on Thanksgiving – I came her with my dad, who RAVED about the place, a few Thanksgivings ago. The place was actually pretty empty and the food tasted like it had been prepared yesterday then reheated for service. Clearly their main chefs were home with their families, becasue it was not up to normal standard. I will, however, try again for a non-holiday meal.

Poor Hospitality – I have to give Ponti a below average rating. The hospitality (not the service) left such a bad taste that we will not return. Even though the food was perfect. It sounds stupid recounting this but my husband saw postcards stacked on the hostess table and he assumed these were put out for customers to pick up. They were $20 off postcards. When he told the waiter we had one his response verged on an accusatory tone: "How did you get that?" My husband explained that they were sitting out and the waiter said f... read more

Excellent food, very poor service – The food was great; really some of the best I've had in Seattle. Unfortunately the evening--a special birthday celebration that we had looked forward to and dressed up for etc.--was pretty much spoiled by the service. An indicator: the only person from start to finish that made us feel truly welcome in this restaurant was the young man filling the water glasses; he was friendly and engaging, and not only did he immediately tune into the fact that we were unhappy with where we had been plac... read more

Seattle-Cuisine-Defined – This is it for Seattle. It's not some "new", "hip", "must try before it's not cool anymore", kind of place. This is a culinary staple. I love the food here. My colleagues, out-of-state guests and long time Seattleite friends love it. Ponti's service is on-par with Seattle's best fine dining restaurants, without the annoyance of the staff making you feel like you should sit up and take notice of it. You can eat the best Wild Alaskan Salmon entree in town sitting at the bar in your jeans. Or, dress fo... read more

Great weekday happy hour and bar menu – Last week, my girlfriends and I came in for Happy Hour and stayed til 9:30pm. We had so much fun, great view and nice service. We shared a couple of items off of the happy hour menu, tempura prawns and the calamari and some crab rolls off of the bar menu. We had a great bottle of wine and even tried a dessert wine which was surprisingly good, not too sweet. I was happy and very satisfied. Great desserts (chocolate cake and ginger peach pie) and very friendly staff our waitress was very... read more

Our special place – Ponti has always been one of my wife's and my special places and we have come to love Ponti. We are treated with friendly professional service always. It is our place to unwind and sit back and enjoy a great meal in a comfortable setting. Ponti's dinning room is remincent of a Tuscan restaurant we visited a few months ago, near Florence. And the patio on the ship canal with a garden of tomatoes used in Ponti's salads and soups is an added plus. We saw many tomato plants in restaurant gardens in Italy. We ... read more

Very expensive but good food – Don't know if it was just because it was Friday, but service was p-a-i-n-s-t-a-k-i-n-g-l-y slow with almost an hour between the salad and entree. It was also ridiculously expensive ($40 for ONE alaskan king crab leg). However, the food was delicious and the host/owner gracious. The restaurant does indeed sit above the canal, but the view is not really visible from anywhere but the al fresco dining tables.
