The Ponti at Denver Art Museum

Popped in with two friends about 3:30 on a Saturday last year. Hostess and servers were less than enthusiastic about seating us even though we assured them we just wanted a drink & a shared snack. They took the order and we waited. And waited. About 5 minutes before closing time our food arrived along with dirty looks from the staff. Oddly enough went we tried to pay and leave they took their sweet time to do what should have taken 2-3 minutes. Have never been back and absolutely do not recommend it.

Misunderstood restaurant. The food and service were pretty great. Seems like a lot of people have undue complaints for this place if you want a nice meal. A honestly reasonable price considering the location. It's a good spot. I feel like a lot of the hate this place gets is due to the fact that half of their menu is entirely vegetarian and people don't understand the items they're being served.

Food was good and our server was nice but the manager that greeted us at the front was extremely rude to me and my friends. Threw off the mood and we felt very unwelcome.

Just not 1/2 as good as when you first opened. Putting the Ponti in the same category as The Cruise Room, in my opinion. Cold food, slow service, no espresso and the coffee served in its place was old, bad and cold. And they weren't busy. Bring back Pallets!

the Moroccan salad dish was excellent. my partner ate the beet shepard's pie because he was hungry and it lacked in flavor and overall was not worth the price.

I love everything about The Ponti and it never disappoints! A perfect day for me is seeing art at the Denver Art Museum and having a late lunch at The Ponti. Nothing is better.

The food and service were excellent. We had the mezze platter, butternut squash salad, salmon, and the pasta with lamb ragu. They were all very good and four of us had leftovers. The bartender made a virgin margarita that was excellent.

The menu was somewhat limited. I think it is a great place for lunch. I wouldn't recommend it for dinner. It would need more substantial entree choices. What we did order, was very tasty and well prepared. My butternut squash soup was relishes, the portion more than ample. My 1/2 portion of cavatelli, was delicious. Happy half portion was offered, so I could enjoy the soup as well. My guests liked what they ordered too. They both ordered the burger, eliminating ingredients they did not want to customize to their liking. Overall a very nice dining experience.

We have had lunch and dinner at The Ponti numerous times. The food has always been great. The menu is varied and caters to carnivores and vegetarians.

Lovely space. A bit cramped. Servers cannot walk down the main aisle customers are there as well. The menu is small but diverse. Pace was unhurried and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was my first visit to The Ponti. Service was very good. I was disappointed that the Tempeh sandwich was not that close in taste to a Reuben sandwich as it was advertised. I am a vegetarian and was looking forward to having it. The tempeh pieces were thick and not layered as corned beef would be and not enough sauerkraut as well. The russian dressing was also bland. I did enjoy the bread pudding dessert and brut rose' sparkling wine.

Delicious food and good service. Very convenient to eat at the museum and visit the exhibits.

Cute little bar/restaurant. The cocktails and the mezze plate were good, however the service was just meh. Not attentive, our drinks and food were just places in front of us without a word…it wasn’t busy or anything.
