Boats calmly drifting along the canal make a relaxing backdrop for fine grilled seafood with distinctive Asian touches.

Happy Hour

Resting romantically atop the scenic ship canal and surrounded by luscious trees, flowers and grapevines, our beautiful restaurant is reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa. The warmly decorated interior rooms showcase beautiful water and bridge views. Multiple patios are perfect for outdoor dining. Things that have been said... "A spectacular fusion of Northwest Bounty, European techniques, Mediterranean sensibility and Pacific Rim Pizzazz!" "A gorgeous spot at the south side of the Fremont Bridge. This serene, elegant seafooder has a well-deserved reputation. Unbeatable al fresco dining." "Suberb! Ponti offers the single finest waterside dining experience in the city. Like a European vacation without the hassles." There is much to love..A comfortably intimate bar, ship canal view, world-roaming wine list and Mediterranean ambience. Seafood is Ponti's middle name.

Ponti Seafood Grill 76 reviews (206) 792-5583 3014 Third Ave N Seattle, WA 98109 www.pontiseafoodgrill.com Write a Review Edit Business \| Upload Photo \| E-mail to Friend	Editorial Description by Citysearch The Scene Secluded in lush surroundings, this is a perfect spot for a peaceful, refined meal. Whether eating alfresco on the balcony or inside in a quiet corner, diners enjoy both intimacy and unique views of the canal and the Fremont drawbridge. The Food Top-quality seafood is expected at such an established restaurant; what's surprising is that the menu veers toward robust Asian flavors. The signature Thai penne curry is a knockout, with scallops and crab in a spicy blend of tomato-ginger chutney and coconut milk. For those in a sushi mood, the ahi tuna is just kissed by the grill and accompanied by soy sake and wasabi aioli. Asian accents also distinguish the black cod with its red-curry sauce and the halibut glazed with orange miso. For a simple start, pass on the salads and go with the large, plump scallops in lemon butter. Rated 8.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Pontis Grill 3 By Jay R. \| Insider Expert \| Rank: 3,967 Ponti Seafood Grill The first time we went to Pontis we were just amazed at the quality of the food and service. The second time repeated the first, and we were happy to show off this gem to our out-of-town visitors. However, the last time we went it felt rushed and not at the top of its game. For the price we expect good service and great food. Maybe it was an off night, but we have not been back since. Posted 04/10/09 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

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.

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! Posted 05/22/09 For a great dining experiece every time so far. By Janiepie 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:) Posted 04/06/09 Some of the best seafood I've had here in Seattle By buttahfly 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 Posted 10/05/08 Such a quaint expirence! By lapreston 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 Posted 09/28/08 Waste of money and time. By surfercait 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 Posted 09/21/08
