I decided to finally indulge and give this fancy place a try and boy am I glad I did! The service was impeccable and the food was served hot and delicious. This was by far the best dining experience I’ve had in a while. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. My server was humorous, professional and on point. I choose the 6-course tasting menu and I was full to bursting by the end of it. The bisque was sweet and heavy, perfectly seasoned and overall beautifully flavored. My steak was cooked perfectly rare as I requested and the bed of potato puree was fabulous. Desert was rich yet light, flourless cake is to die for, it melts in your mouth it’s so tasty! I had such a memorable time here, full of laughs. I will be coming back soon.

The Chef’s tasting menu is a delight in varied 6 course dishes. Relax and be served the most amazing flavors. Our server, Audra was a delight and they made our Anniversary celebration a memorable event. Kudos to you Chris Ponté!

Café Ponte did not disappoint! As soon as we arrived for dinner to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, we were seated at our table that had an anniversary card waiting. As soon as we were seated, we were given two glasses of Champagne. Audra our server was pure perfection. She was warm and engaging. She knew the menu top to bottom and explained all of our options when we asked questions. We decided to try the pre-fix menu to have an opportunity to sample several courses, from soup to desert at an outstanding price. We decided to have Butternut Squash soup. She suggested that in addition we try a sample of the mushroom soup which is the only item on the menu that has never been changed or removed…within the last 16 years. Another server arrived with 4 selections of bread and returned frequently to check on us to see if we wanted more. We had salad and then the main course, which was cooked to perfection. My husband had the Sea Bass which melted in his mouth. I so enjoyed my flavorful Pork Chop which was so tender! When finished, Audra brought desert and then another hand crafted desert treat for us to try. The room was beautiful and elegantly decorated for Christmas. You could hear other conversations but it was not loud. The piano music was soft and wonderful. I had the opportunity to speak with Audra and asked her how long she had been working at CP. Being a Concierge, I always love to hear how people arrived in hospitality. She told me about herself and she said she had only been at CP one month. I have to tell you I was so surprised! She came across as very seasoned, truly professional and she made our experience at CP extremely special. I know good service as I work at Sandpearl Resort and our signature restaurant, Caretta’s on the Gulf, has some of the the best servers in Clearwater. Well, Audra is right up there with them. She just did an amazing job. She expressed and showed us just how important it was to her to be the best for her guests. Her employers are lucky to have her and we were quite lucky to celebrate our special anniversary at Café Ponte as it was amazing. Thanks to Eric who made my reservation and was delightful to speak with. Well done Chef Ponte! It was a very memorable evening and we will be back! I am telling you if you haven’t been…You simply must go. Yours truly,

This is a hidden gem in a very unsuspecting location. If your looking for an awesome date night, this is the place. The food is amazing. I had the sea bass ,which was quite possibly the best sea bass I have ever tasted. I highly r recommend it along with the bouillabaisse. We finished with a very well executed deconstructed strawberry shortcake..yumm!!
