Poolside Bar & Café at Ponte Vineyard Inn

Our server was amazing and the location was quaint and beautiful, but the food was underwhelming. We ordered a $38 charcuterie platter, but there wasn't anything on it (other than the local honey) that I couldn't have made myself at home. It was fine, but not for $38.00. The cheeses were what you'd find at a supermarket - the smoked Gouda I have on my sandwiches every day for lunch. The meats were a thick-cut less-dry prosciutto, and a salami, neither were special. The mustard was good, but not any better than the Grey Poupon in the fridge at my airBnB. And the "fresh fruit" was just a bunch of (not very good) red grapes. The salad I ordered had a delicious soft cheese on it, but the portions were all wrong. The lettuce they chose was spinach, but they put SO MUCH cheese on it that the spinach was drowning and completely wilted under the weight. If there was dressing on the spinach, I couldn't tell because of all the cheese. The beets were good, and worked nicely with the cheese. There were two very small segments of blood orange on the top, as a garnish. I would have preferred the orange be an ingredient. There were 4 candied pecans. These were also good, would have made a nice addition if I could have had more than 4. My mom ordered the Chilean sea bass, and it was cooked absolutely PERFECTLY. It was crispy on the outside but tender and soft underneath. It had an avocado topping that was also to die for - and paired perfectly with the fish. The side of couscous, however, had vegetables mixed in, and they tasted as though they were taken from a CupRamen. The carrots seemed like they had been dehydrated, they were chewy and wrinkly and retained no crunch. The dessert, as recommended by our friendly server, was quite good! It was a chocolate mouse in a dome shape, with raspberry drizzle on the plate, and a raspberry in the middle of the mouse. We didn't know it would be a mouse when we ordered it, we were expecting a flourless chocolate cake, but we liked it!

Restaurant was warm due to side door being open to outdoor patio. Sitting inside was like sitting outside; will make sure to reserve tables over at the main vineyard restaurant, for next time! Overall experience was not enjoyable and I'm a wine club member. Charles Stailey, (951) 313-0930.

Had dinner on Saturday night. Our server James did a great job. Food was very good overall. I think the bread at the winery is better than the bread here but other than that it was on par.

Menu is limited, but what they served was excellent! The service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived we were attended to with a friendly smile and very welcoming attitude. Will be returning. I hade the chicken piccatta and my husband had the Chilean sea bass, along with a ceviche appetizer. All excellent. I'd go back for the ceviche any day. Yum!

We were expecting a more lively atmosphere with nices views over the rolling hills. You get a throw back dinner experience from the 1960s and have to stair at covered party materials stacked up on the other side of the outdoor terrace. Flowers were rotting in the vase. Service was good, but the cooking was mediocre and definately over priced.

The food was fantastic and our server was wonderful. We were celebrating my birthday. My only complaint was I didn't receive an itemized receipt when paying for our meal with our credit card. I should have asked for one, but didn't. It was strange to not get one.

It's always a wonderful experience in this restaurant and hotel. I wish I could remember our servers name yesterday because she was exceptional just like everyone else who works there. The menu is simple yet elegant, very good value as well.

Was very disappointed that I had specifically added into my reservation that it was my Anniversary. Hostess (Neha) didn't bring it up and did not offer any concessions after I mentioned at end. Need to work on the initial greeting of clients especially if I was mentioned twice on my Open Table reservation.

Revisiting the Bouquet Room at Ponte Inn brought back memories of my last visit with my husband. The ambiance was understated elegance and perfect for a lovely meal. The service was excellent. Cindy was cheerful, knowledgeable and professional. Hunter did a wonderful job efficiently clearing our plates and filling our water. He was courteous and respectful. I tasted my son's hamburger and believe it was the best I've ever had. The meat quality was top-notch and the burger was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. My Eggs Benedict was very good. I thought that the Canadian Bacon could have been cut thicker. IT was a bit skimpy and a little dry because of the thinness of the cut. Sometimes it's best to charge a little more and get the Benedict as it is supposed to be. The menu had an overall appeal. We would return in a heartbeat to try other items on the menu.

As a new Ponte Winery Club member I was excited to revisit Bouquet (One of the member perks is a discount at Bouquet!). I made the reservation online two days before. I get that they want to keep tables open for hotel guests, but there was only 1 reservation time available online and when we arrived the restaurant had plenty of availability. I took my mom for an early Mother's Day dinner. She had never been before and was entranced by the beautiful and serene architecture and gardens on the property. James was our host made us feel more than welcome and took great care of us throughout our entire experience. My mom enjoyed Ponte's Pino Grigio and I indulged in a strawberry and mint fauxjito - non-alcoholic - that was perfectly sweet and refreshing. Our Beet Salad starter was lovely and just the right amount to share between us. Our next course we both ordered the chicken piccata. This is usually a decent dish wherever you go, but both concluded that this was THE best chicken piccata we have ever tested. EVER! And my mom is nearly 80 and had her fair share of chicken piccata. We didn't have room for desert but enjoyed a nice chat after our meal without being hounded with the bill, which I find most restaurants are eager to hand you and flip the table. We enjoyed a nice stroll on the grounds just as the sun went down and then ventured downstairs to the basement bar. Gorgeous setting. Amazing food. Stunning menu and flavors. Thoughtful and attentive staff. I can't wait to bring more guests and make more memories at Bouquet. Thank you James, Chef and the Bouquet Team.

We were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the outdoor seating was. James was our server and he was very polite and attentive. Seating was comfortable with beautiful views. Food was very delicious. We will come here again and most likely stay at the hotel.

Ponte is one of our favorite places to go. It's a little expensive for what they offer but you kind of need to expect that as part of the wine country experience. Overall it was a great visit. Our server Jacob was very attentive, and the host Larissa was accommodating with our seating request, even on a busy brunch morning. We'll definitely be returning.

A lovely restaurant in the Ponte Vineyard Inn, we enjoyed Easter brunch there for four of us. Food is superb, they must have a great chef. In spite of being busy, Katie was excellent and provided superior service. The restaurant was full, so plenty of noise. I plan to return on non-holiday days to enjoy the wonderful menu and food again. I highly recommend it.

The food was barely so-so and our waitress was not attentive to our needs, such as refilling water and coffee, or checking to see how our food was. She was not busy with other tables as the restaurant was not crowded. I would not recommend this restaurant.
