   The staff are incredible and the food is simultaneously simple and complex. Tastes that ring familiar at first but deepen and develop as you savor. They had our reservation held accurately and were not overly crowded. The wait between appetizer and entree was a bit lengthy, but since I was there with a friend, it made for some good chatting time.

   My husband and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary with a wonderful lunch at The Ponti Restaurant at the Denver Art Museum. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked into Ponti’s our lunch was fabulous. I’ve never had such a delicious Caesar salad with Chicken! Every single bite was flavorful, fresh, and well, an artistic master piece! My husband had the Rueben and loved it. We marveled at the Cara Cara crème Brule we shared for dessert. Our waiter Steven was friendly, fun, well informed about the menu, and was very attentive to our needs. It made our Anniversary extra special. Of course we visited the galleries after lunch. I can’t wait to go back!!

   Service was top notch. Did not feel rushed. The waiter paced bringing the food out . Food was well prepared and flavored nicely. Portions were small but adequate. We went there for lunch to celebrate my birthday. Very enjoyable. One disappointment was that the cake was a bit dry. I should have sent it back. But the flavors and the sauce covered for it and it was very flavorful I’d love to return for my birthday next year.

   Myself and 4 daughters went for lunch on our day visiting the Denver Art Museum. I picked it because we had a vegan, an omnivore and 3 pescatarians in our group and everyone was able to order something. The hostess was so polite and helpful, our waitress was exceptional and the food was fabulous. All 5 of us loved what we ordered. I ordered the Tempeh Reuben and it was a 12 out of 10.

   Museum Goers need to include a visit to Ponti as part of your cultural experience. Enjoy a rest, a drink, and a delicious meal.

    Excellent menu. We had scallops and salmon entrees. They thought our food took a little long to come out and comped a dessert which we appreciated but wasn't necessary. Definitely will be back.
