What People Are Saying About Ponti Seafood Grill

The Owner

Ponti Seafood Grill

Owner

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.

The Scene
Secluded in lush surroundings, this is a perfect spot for a peaceful, refined meal. Whether eating alfresco on the balcony or inside in a quiet corner, diners enjoy both intimacy and unique views of the canal and the Fremont drawbridge.

The Food
Top-quality seafood is expected at such an established restaurant; what's surprising is that the menu veers toward robust Asian flavors. The signature Thai penne curry is a knockout, with scallops and crab in a spicy blend of tomato-ginger chutney and coconut milk. For those in a sushi mood, the ahi tuna is just kissed by the grill and accompanied by soy sake and wasabi aioli. Asian accents also distinguish the black cod with its red-curry sauce and the halibut glazed with orange miso. For a simple start, pass on the salads and go with the large, plump scallops in lemon butter.

I go to many places for HH but always gravitate back to Ponti's. Maybe it's the great views on the patio in the summer, or the wonderful cocktails/wines. I think mostly it's the ambiance which is always classy but never stuffy. I only wish I could afford to dine here more often!

Pontis is always a treat to visit. I took my Husband on his Birthday. I forgot that I mentioned it was for his Bday when I made the reservation.So to our surprise there was a hand written Birthday card wishing him a Happy Birthday and to enjoy our dinner. Oh boy did we ever enjoy our dinner. I ordered the smoked Black Cod marinated in a miso type sauce. My Husband had the Saddle of beef fillet cooked to perfection as was mine. Along with Oysters on the half shell and the Tempura prawns for our appetizers. Let me just say this..there was not any left overs to take home. Also our waiter as well as all of the other staff took such good care of us we didn't want to leave . My Husband I and everyone we know who has dinned at Pontis also has only great dinning experiences to report. It I would say is on the Seattle to do list for out of towners looking for a great meal as well as ambiance

The service is fantastic. We had an excellent server who was attentive and helpful. The food was pretty good as well though a few others in our party did not love what they had chosen as it was slightly bland. Mine however (a fish dish) was excellent. Hot food, good service, and reasonable priced. Oh yes, and the view is pretty good if you are close to the window.
