    I needed to find a nice place to take an important client and their spouses for dinner. Cafe Ponte was a great find. After making the reservation they even called me to ask if I had a special event and when I told them I was entertaining they sat us in a table close to the action of the kitchen. All of the food was very well prepared, wine glasses stayed full and everyone was happy. Highly recommend.

    I take clients to Cafe Ponte for lunch all the time and it's great. Be sure to book a reservation with Open Table as it fills up quickly. The food is fantastic; pizza, salads, the lobster roll!! This was my first dinner at Cafe Ponte and i was truly impressed. the menu offers something for everybody. Everybody always wants to go to the steak house and this was a really nice change! Great appetizers and the Cobia fish special was wonderful. Great wine list too.

    Have been lunching here for years and alway wonderful food and sevice. Two out of our party of 3 ordered the white asparagus sandwich and the asparagus was so tough could barely cut it to eat it. There was a really nice recovery offering another choice. But was disappointed when we were told, 'yes it is tough and really better as an appetizer and we are taking it off the menu soon'. So they were aware of the poor meal and waiter even recommended it. So unlike the typical experience at cafe Ponte.

    Loved the food the wine and the ambiance. It was quiet enough that we could actually carry on a conversation with our friends. Food was delicious as usual. We have been there more than 5 times now. We live part time in FL and always go there when we are in the area.

    It has been awhile since last dined here. Now I wonder why I waited so long. I brought a friend who has never been before who is also a food and wine lover. So many things to choose from! We opted to share the cheese platter of 6 cheeses and accompaniments. However the mushroom soup sounded wonderful. To my surprise, they brought out an amuse bouche of the soup! Mind readers! We ordered the sea bass, crab & lobster cake, and the mac n' cheese with lobster. There was soft piano music in the background and the server was very friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Saved room for desserts, the creme brûlée was huge, and the toffee panna cotta was divine! Recommend Cafe Ponte for any nice dining experience.

    We are from Ft. Lauderdale and travel into Clearwater often. Café Ponte is always a stop for either lunch or dinner. The food and service is spectacular!
