    The place is very sophisticated. We opt for the christmas Day feast. We haven't started the menu, but they serve as a cornbread, and my husband loved it so much, and he can't forget how good it was. i was so surprised their beef is so soft that it melts in your mouth.. overall, the food is fantastic, and the server, too,

    We really enjoy this restaurant as the experience is consistently excellent. I prefer dining on the patio when the weather permits because inside is too loud!

    It was our first time eating at Ponto Lago. It was a great experience. The food was perfectly prepared with creative elements accompanying each dish. The staff were pleasant. Our wait staff were attentive, communicative, friendly and knowledgeable. They knew the exact times to engage with us. Overall an excellent experience at a reasonable price for the level of service and cuisine.
