Reviews for Ponty Bistro in New York, NY
Great ambience with attentive and professional staff. Found this through an episode of Vice Munchies. Star of the show is the... high quality eclectic food. The mussel sauce was so good that we asked to take the scraps home to cook another dish. Willprobably sauté mushrooms and have with rice. Still deciding ….. Read more
This was my first time at Ponty Bistro after my boyfriend recommended this place. However, I was not impressed. My boyfriend... ordered a martini and it was very sugary so he sent it back. (Still was charged for it after taking 1 sip from it.) He orderedescargot and I ordered shrimp with rice. The shrimp was burnt and rubbery and the escargot was an oily mess. We barely ate anyof our food. Only giving 2 stars because the server was friendly but she didn't come over frequently to ask about the food. Read more
I've had quite a few different menu items (snails, chicken wings, burger & fries, veal, snapper, calamari) all delicious. They... make excellent sauces. Food is always cooked perfectly, hot, and super tasty. For the price point, I do feel more food could begiven, but it is NY - so rent is prolly too damn high! Read more
My friend and I really liked the ambience in this place. I got the skirt steak with mash potatoes and red wine and my friend got... the stuffed flounder which was very interesting. Oh we also had the mac and cheese for an appetizer and that was crazy good ????the service was also attentive and kind. I will say the prices are up there, with main dishes over $26 and cocktails/drinks thataren't beer around $15+. Read more
Had a great time, the food was something I never had before so I was excited to try. I wasn't totally disappointed. The vibe was... real energetic and vibrant: the music too was in point. There was no dance floor but my daughter and I couldn't resist. Read more
I love this place. The food is always good and the ambience is really nice. They play afrobeats that will have you moving in... your seat and it’s low enough so you can hear others speak. The waiters are very nice and they clean your table pretty fast.However there was a waiter that kept coming to take our plates… I did want him to chillax so my homegirl and I can feel morecomfortable. The calamari with the white sauce is ON POINT. My main dish was very flavorful and so was my friend. The ginger andsorrel juice was very FRESH and tasteful. Overall this place is a must try.

Came here for a late night meal and was very pleasantly surprised. I tend to not visit restaurants too late because I know the... kitchen has had a long day and the quality of food is sometimes not the best. But in this case I was wrong. Both entrees werefish and they were very fresh and not dried out! Was very satisfied with meal and drinks. Read more
