Repeatable: No! Visits: 2
We recently returned to Ponti on a weekend night (November ’08), after our last unmemorable meal there 8 years ago. Seattle Metropolitan raved about the new chef, so we decided to give the place another try. We should have bolted when it took forever to attract the attention of someone who would take our order. There were five of us at the table. The food made us laugh–not happily (soggy, salty overcooked lobster; burnt scallops). The less said, the better.
I’ve had similar experiences at Ponti, I’m sad to say. I really WANT to like that restaurant, as I like the space and location.
