A Spectacular Fusion of Northwest Bounty & European Techniques.

  • 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.

seafood next to the fremont bridge  4 Star Rating - Very good

yes, this restaurant lies next to the fremont bridge, so while eating on the patio, you can watch the peaceful boats pass by. that is what i would consider an enjoyable, peaceful evening. even just sitting at the bar, one can amuse yourself by chatter with the regulars or the bartender. and the bar has my favorite riesling from the st. michelle chateau. absolutely delicious. the food, the salmon in particular, is incredible.

Best Patio 5 Star Rating - World class

I had another great dinner at Ponti. They have a new chef. I love the seared ahi, it was delicious and had a great apple tart tartan.Ponti's patio is the best. The views of the ship canal and the beautiful gardens. It is a very romantic experience. I like to hold hands and kiss my boy friend, just like we did in a small restaruant in Paris. I like to tell my friendsabout Ponti, it is really a hidden gem. I can't wait to go back. They have the best patio in Seattle

Pros: always a great experience
Cons: summer is not long enough

Great, healthy, fresh seafood 5 Star Rating - World class

I went to Ponti again. I have been going for a long time, for dinner and for the bar. It is such a beautiful restaurant. The seafood is always great. Very fresh. The vegetables are wonderful. And the service is attentive. I feel comfortable there and I often recommend Ponti. It is a special Seattle restaurant. It has been there for a long time. That says something. And it is locally owned, even better.
I realy liked the ahi tuna dish. The waiter said they fly the tuna in from Hawaii. Ponti is better than ever. You should go there and bring some friends.

Pros: always great. Very dependable
Cons: None

A Classic Seafood Spot With View 5 Star Rating - World class

This is a classic seafood restaurant in Seattle. It's been here as long as I can remember. Every time we go we get the salmon, halibut and various appetizers off their menu. Always fresh. It's a super fun place - usually quite busy. The bar is usually packed but the restaurant is totally seperate. The outside patio over looking the water is one of the best dining seats in Seattle...fun place! Great food.

Solid Restaurant.Great food.Great location 5 Star Rating - World class

The place is a classic. It's not Canlis nor it trying to be - this is a really nice restaurant that is usually very busy for a good reason - great deck, great bar, really nice food, amazing wine list and a young, friendly staff. This restaurant has been serving happy customers for years in Seattle - and when I go there, I see why! Get their salmon or Halibut.

Pros: food, service, wine, outdoor dining
Cons: young crowd at happy hour
