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.
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
