It was a busy pre-holiday night, so kind of noisy but festive. Service was outstanding, as was my husband’s filet mignon. My eggplant dish was fine, my cosmopolitan even better. A delicious Tiramisu was complimentary for my birthday. What a wonderful evening.

I have been a member at Ponte for many years and we held out our wedding in the garden in 2006. The restaurant at Ponta never disappoints. The bread served before the meal with vinaigrette scallion dip is outstanding.
