We had a very late lunch on a Saturday and the food was excellent. The place was very quiet which is rare these days. The blood orange lemonade was quite good. The beet salad was spectacular. The hamburger was cooked perfectly

Our visit was delightful, as usual. We followed the Phillips Collection exhibit with lunch @ Ponti. Stephen knew the menu, gave us good recommendations, and jjus the right amount of attention.

This was my second visit to the Ponti and I was impressed a second time with every aspect of the experience. It is the perfect place to dine before or after a visit to the DAM. The artistic quality of the food and its presentation extend an art lover's experience. I will return to the Ponti again in the future. '

Awesome salmon and beet salad and my partner had the trout salad - divine! We were having a late lunch after viewing the All Stars Exhibit - Do not miss this restaurant if you have the opportunity - sooooo wonderful!

A day at the Museum...and lunch at Ponti's. Food was quite good and the staff very welcoming! It was a great way to kick off the Phillips Exhibit. We'll definitely do it again!

We love the Ponti and go often on Tuesday evenings after seeing an exhibit. (Last evening, we saw the new Mexican Chair exhibit, which is just wonderful!) The new menu is so good. We tried the Beef Tartare (delicious) and the Parsnip Agnolotti (also delicious), which my friend said she was going to have every time from now on. We also shared an arugula salad, which is not on the menu, but should be. The dressing is just perfect. The service is always so friendly and kind.
We choose to have Sunday lunch at the Ponti whenever we are in Denver over a weekend. It is bright and airy, and the food is delicious. It is easy to have conversation. It is also very well located with the Denver Art Museum, the Kirkland Museum, Clyfford Still and History Colorado, not far away. Make a reservation.
The meal was delicious all around. I would recommend the cod. The fresh Washington oysters were very good. Again the scallops with also very good. Who has tried delicious brownies with pine nuts and cookie crumbs coupled with vanilla ice cream with toasted rosemary!? Go try the Ponti if you haven't already and be prepared to enjoy your meal.

The food was delicious, and the presentation was outstanding. I really enjoyed the restaurant, ambience and museum style influence. The service was also phenomenal, I highly recommend this restaurant!

I like restaurants that are located inside unsuspecting places. Bazille inside Nordstrom; Manna inside the AdventHealth Hospital; and The Ponti, a new restaurant inside The Denver Art Museum. We booked through OpenTable, which was a seamless process. The highlight of our meal was the food itself; my grain bowl salad was fresh and flavorful, while my girlfriend's tempeh sandwich was equally commendable for its taste and quality. We found the atmosphere to be bustling, which added to a lively dining experience, although some might find it a bit crowded. The service was decent, efficient without being particularly memorable. The only downside was the pricing – it felt a bit steep for the value offered. However, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, leaving us with a positive impression. Despite the few drawbacks, we appreciated the culinary craftsmanship and would be willing to return.
Disappointing. We had great vegan/vegetarian food here several times before. This time they were out of the 2 veg dishes we wanted, as well as 0 proof beer. I had the grain bowl, delicious but not substantial. My husband had the tempeh Reuben without cheese. Good, but with the fries a lot of bad oil. And everything was oversalted. No eggless desserts. We went in mid afternoon to avoid crowds, as when busy it can be noisy. The servers were busy getting ready for dinner so service wasn't great.

The tempe Rueben and the steelhead trout (and the veggies and fries) were absolutely fabulous! Fresh, cooked to perfection, and the perfect portion size. Service was perfect. And the chocolate torte with rosemary ice cream was transcendent. Can't wait to return to this beautiful space and place!

The menu is amazing and everything we got was so tasty. The Reuben is our favorite with that great rye bread. Also perfectly salted thin French fries. Hummus platter was amazing. We ate lunch early and it was quite elegant and peaseful. I love this place.

This was my second time eating at the Ponti. The menu selection is good and the food is delicious! The service is great too. I had the Eggs Benedict and my sister had the Mezzo Plate. Both entrees were tasty.
