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.

Excellent food and service. The owner usually comes by your table to say hello and see if you need anything. Several of the wines offered from the owners vineyard are excellent.

Excellent food, great service. you can bring your own wine for a very decent corkage fee of twenty-five bucks. Cheff and owner Pietro is always looking and talking to customers ensuring service and food quality are good. I strongly recommend this restaurant for a celebration, a romantic date, or a business occasion. We went on a Saturday and there was live music and the volume was enjoyable. You could enjoy the music and still have a conversation at the table.
