Ponto Lago provides a memorable experience with a stunning ocean setting and live music. Guests sit near beautiful views of the ocean, enjoying a mix of Mexican and Spanish cuisine. The menu offers fresh and flavorful seafood, such as oysters, ceviche, smoked crudo, and grilled octopus. Other popular dishes include lobster tacos and branzino. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff making guests feel appreciated. Thoughtful touches add to the experience. The ambiance is clean, spacious, and relaxed, making it ideal for a special dinner or date. Guests can enjoy dishes like buttery sea bass and prime rib at the Chef's Corner, where they get a front-row view of culinary artistry. The food consistently remains at an excellent level thanks to chef Eric and his team. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and experience offered. The restaurant also features amazing sunset views, especially during warmer weather when outdoor dining is available. The open kitchen adds an interesting element to the dining atmosphere, and the attentive service, including personalized wine tastings and complimentary bread with avocado crema, enhances the meal. The churros for dessert are highly recommended, even if guests are full, as they are of the highest quality. Overall, Ponto Lago is a perfect place for a celebratory or fancy meal with beautiful views and delicious food.
