   It's been great to have Ponty Bistro as part of our Harlem restaurant go-to list. Each time we go back, we have another good experience. We enjoy the space, it's a good, attentive staff and a friendly crowd.

   Have been going here since it opened. Celebrated many birthdays like today. This was TERRIBLE. 1. Seated at 4p purposefully after brunch crowd 2. Appetizer missing key items so rest got fold and inedible 3. ONE HOUR LATER NO DINNER 4. No one checked or corrected 5. Finally dumb server comes out rubbing his eyes. He looked like he was sleeping 6. HE FORGOT TO PUT IN OUR FOOD ORDER 7. 20m later NO FOOD 8. Finally food comes 9. FOOD IS COLD 10. Still my birthday 11. They still wanted the ENTIRE CHECK Do not go here under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES I will NEVER return to any of this chef’s restaurants (Renaissance and PB STEAK)

   Everything here is always amazing and the staff is always nice! My go to is the mussels, Africana. They are my favorite mussels period. I do think the DJ being so loud at dinner time made it more difficult to have conversation.

   The Crispy Tuna, Poisson Yassa, and Dibi Haoussa were all absolutely delicious. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Only critiqe would be that the cocktails were pretty expensive.

   Nice place, decor was kind of dry. Served me burnt plantains and I didn’t want to make a big deal, so I picked around them. When my friends noticed, they were upset and mentioned it - but when we received the bill, they were still included. We paid and left… But generally, the food was good.

   The food at Ponty Bistro was very good. The taste and dipping sauce for their wings appetizer has changed. While good, it is definitely different. I hadn't been to Ponty Bistro in a few years. the food was still very good.
