   We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Restaurant at Ponte, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The beautiful setting, with its lush vineyard views and charming atmosphere, immediately set the tone for a wonderful evening. Our server, Teresa, was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. Teresa took the time to answer our questions, make thoughtful recommendations, and ensure that every part of our meal was perfect. Her genuine warmth and professionalism elevated the entire experience. The food was absolutely divine. Every dish was crafted with care, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. We started with the burrata, which was fresh, creamy, and accompanied by a delightful drizzle of olive oil. For our main courses, the short rib melted in our mouths, and the sea bass was cooked to perfection—light, flaky, and bursting with flavor. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying dessert, and it did not disappoint! The chocolate mousse was rich and decadent, the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal. The Restaurant at Ponte is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a relaxing, top-tier meal, this is the place to be. A huge thank you to Teresa and the entire staff for making our visit so memorable. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

   The food and service were great. The bread is special. The winery is beautiful. It was a cold, windy evening which made sitting outside challenging. There were plenty of heaters. Despite the cold, I highly recommend.

    Our Server Jessica was phenomenal. She was on point with her greeting/approach, conversations, detailed feedback on menu items/chef’s specials, accommodating, timing and an overall wonderful. However, I don’t want the stars rating for “service” to reflect Jessica, because it wasn’t her, it was her support. I gave service a small rating because she little to no support when it came a simple water and bread for the table to customers. If servers have support to assist in greeting their customers, then the support should be readily available as it does reflect on their teamwork and readiness. Sitting for 15-20mins without, watching tables fill up, and at the end of the day having to tip your support for a hard day work isn’t a share of profit well deserved. Anyone going to Ponte, please request Jessica as your server! She is a pleasure.
