I absolutely love Ponte! If you want a delicious lunch, paired with an amazing glass of wine, Ponte is for you. The staff is attentive and everything on the menu taste superb.

Excellent food, excellent staff. The food is top- to h and worthy of great reviews. Visit Ponte, sample some wines, eat lunch here. You'll so much enjoy the day.

Ordered the seafood pasta, salmon, halibut, brussel sprouts and mussels, and everything is VERY DELICIOUS! Even the free bread is delicious, the pairing green onion sauce is so good that we had to ask for seconds! Plus the service is very good, with live music, good vibes! Will def come back!

Food was ok. Ambiance and service were amazing. Not sure I will return, though. If you order the GF pizza have it go through two times... I had to send mine back due to crust not cooked crispy enough. If you're not a curry fan... order Salmon with the sauce on the side. Salmon was spot on cooked.

Great wine & great food! The ambiance is amazing. Such a great overall place to go to whether it's for a date night, family trip, or girls who love to drink wine!

The fillet was really good. I was glad this place had some beer options. Overall, the wifey liked everything from food and wine selections. We got a private room for our small group. That was awesome. Our server was super attentive and brought drinks and food out in no time.

Everything about Ponte was appealing for us. We have been going there for 15 years every time we are in the area. It's a special place for us to visit with great memories and watching it grow so beautifully. The food was amazing and perfectly prepared. The halibut for me and salmon for my wife was amazing. If you go take your time to savor this wonderful experience!!

Ponte winery never disappoints! I chose this place as my 50th bday celebration place. From our amazing service at the tasting room with Laureen to our delicious food at the restaurant. We've been coming to Ponte for 19 yrs now and as many times as we wander out to the different wineries, Ponte by far is our favorite and we keep coming back for more!!! I love how they've expanded the VIP area. Thank you for always making my birthday month a very unforgettable experience! We always bring friends over and they always join as members and we will continue to do so.

We went to the wine tasting room first -- your wines are mature and delicious, including the whites. We loved the variety and quality. Our lunch at the restaurant was delicious -- the dishes are served beautifully and of the highest culinary quality. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Food was so so wasn't that good and atmosphere was run down. Seemed old and not updated venue. Wait staff was friendly but not up to the level of what they are charging for price of food.

Been a member I believe going on a year now. My wife and I have already had a great time at Ponte, weather it's for lunch, picking up wine, staying at Ponte Inn. But this time I have to say was not good! Our server yesterday for the most part ignored us, then at the end rushed us? She provided us with our bill then proceeded to ask us if we wanted dessert?? So not really sure how you bring us our check / then ask if we want dessert ? She said as not really engaged with work ? I have no idea what was going on with her. I observed her with the other tables and guests and she did not do this with the other guest ?? My wife and I were there celebrating Valentines and had to pick up our wine. So just left a very bad impression.... Not very good service at all. Now Laureen inside who helped us pick up our wine is amazing and always very friendly!! I always buy extra wines because of here.

So on my entree they forgot the gnocchi which they brought out 5 min after initial food delivery. The server also gave us a desert menu and then didn't check on us for 20 min after pointing out a soufflé takes 20 min. If she was on break she didn't hand off our table.

BREAD IS SO GOOD!! Really good bread like amazing I wish it was warmed up though. I thought the patio would be a bit fancier but we ended up in the corner of a tent with no decor or anything. It just didn't feel upscale it was really boring with the tent. I would not order the pizza again. It kinda tasted like it was frozen before. Just not a good taste. The meat pasta was so so good!!! Really enjoyed it. Overall I wasn't too impressed and kinda has high expectations because of the reviews.

It turned out to be a pleasant afternoon weather-wise. We were seated promptly. Unfortunately there was a table nearby with about eight guests who were unusually loud and obnoxious. Our server, Amanda, was attentive and served us well. We were served with a pull apart bread that was full of flavor. My wife and I each had a salad. My wife head the winter salad and I had the plain Caesar salad. Both were fresh, flavorful and tasty. We also shared a salmon sandwich, which was perfectly cooked and cut in half. The portions are plentiful and our water was always replenished. Service was excellent, however little more attention can be given to unruly patrons.
