I go to many places for HH but always gravitate back to Ponti's. Maybe it's the great views on the patio in the summer, or the wonderful cocktails/wines. I think mostly it's the ambiance which is always classy but never stuffy. I only wish I could afford to dine here more often!
Pros: Good food, outdoor patio, view
Cons: Price!

Pontis is always a treat to visit.
I took my Husband on his Birthday. I forgot that I mentioned it was for his Bday when I made the reservation.So to our surprise there was a hand written Birthday card wishing him a Happy Birthday and to enjoy our dinner. Oh boy did we ever enjoy our dinner. I ordered the smoked Black Cod marinated in a miso type sauce. My Husband had the Saddle of beef fillet cooked to perfection as was mine. Along with Oysters on the half shell and the Tempura prawns for our appetizers.
Let me just say this..there was not any left overs to take home.
Also our waiter as well as all of the other staff took such good care of us we didn't want to leave .
My Husband I and everyone we know who has dinned at Pontis also has only great dinning experiences to report. It I would say is on the Seattle to do list for out of towners looking for a great meal as well as ambiance
Pros: The food the ambiance, also the service
Cons: Ahhhhhh......no I can't think of one:)

The service is fantastic. We had an excellent server who was attentive and helpful. The food was pretty good as well though a few others in our party did not love what they had chosen as it was slightly bland. Mine however (a fish dish) was excellent. Hot food, good service, and reasonable priced. Oh yes, and the view is pretty good if you are close to the window.

What a great dinner we had at Ponti. Honestly, I came here because a friend recommended it. I read a few of the reviews about the service not being great and was a little nervous. I'm big on good service when I go out and spend good money. The service we had was fine. I don't have any complaints to mention. They were pretty busy, but he seemed to stay on par all night with us. The food we had was spectacular! I am a seafood lover and the choices were so impressive. I had the fantastic ahi and my brother had a seafood pasta. Both were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back!
Pros: Amazing food
Cons: Crowded on weekends

I went here for the first time this weekend. The food was really good. I had the grilled halibut, and it was so flaky and perfect. Our table had a wonder full view of the water as a couple ships went by. It's cool because the dining room was large but felt very personal still. Definitely recommended for a romantic date or any occasion.
Pros: water view, FOOD

I went here for a celebration and has terrible service and the food made my stomach turn. I also ordered the Thai Curry Penne: Grilled Scallops, Dungeness Crab like the user below me, but mine was for dinner so it was $28, I was completely disappointed. It was awful! There was no crab, and the scallops was undercooked and all you could taste was the char burnt flavor from the grilling of the scallops. I would not go back nor ever recommend this place.
Pros: nice location
Cons: gross undercooked overpriced food

Richard Malia, I picked up your card on the way out of your wonderful establishment after we had just spent over two hours enjoying a superb diner (magnificently presented), admiring your beautiful dining room and accoutrements, world class service, and view of the canal and many sailing and powered craft that epitomized what the Seattle area is all about. Every detail of our evening was handled by your professional staff with remarkable flair and competence. My wife and I were in Seattle on business and of all our dining over the four days we were in Seattle yours was by far the finest!
You are to be commended for creating such a memorable dining experience. We shall be sure to both highly recommend Ponti Seafood Grill to others visiting Seattle and we will return ourselves when we visit the Seattle area in the future. Bravo!
Pros: Service, atmosphere, and food
Cons: I wish we lived closer

My wife and I went here for our anniversary and had a great time. Our waiter was great and was able to recommend a nice wine to go with our meal.
My wife had the salmon and she said it was the best she had had in a long time. It came server on a bed of mashed potatoes and was topped with fresh spinach. She said that it was the first time she had eatten everything on her plate.
I had marlin for the first time and it was excellent. It was grilled and served like ahi tuna, which made me a little leary of getting it, but our waiter said it was very good and I was willing to try something new. I am glad that I did. Whatever they used to grill it with gave it an extra smoky flavor that really added to the taste
While the restaurant was busy it was not loud and we were able to have a nice conversation while we ate. One of the best things was that not only were we not rushed to eat we were actually encouraged to take our time and enjoy our dinner.
After dinner we took a nice walk along the Ship Canal trail that is right next to the restaurant.
We had a great time and will go back again. Also we would recommend Ponti to others for a nice dinner experience.
Pros: Food, wait staff
Cons: Parking

We had reservations and was early so we sat in the bar. Later we decided just to eat in the bar as well. The waitress made us feel that we were inconveniencing her when we wanted another drink and wanted to order our food. We felt so unwelcome and horrible service. I even wrote a letter to the manager about our experience and didn't even get a response. I'm not coming back due to service.
