    Lunch at the Ponti was a nice treat after visiting the art museum. We ordered a chicken and dumpling soup of the day, chicken Ceasar salad, and a Tuscan kale soup. The soup of the day and Ceasar salad were fresh and flavorful. Portion size on the kale soup was skimpy and the presentation was just OK. In general, the Ponti is a great lunch spot. The atmosphere is good and prices are reasonable.

    I always enjoy my lunch at the Ponti when visiting DAM. I like to make a day of each visit. I was there with a friend who often joins me and we had a wonderful lunch! The brussel sprouts were the tastiest I have had! I ordered the mac and cheese with wild mushroom special and it was yummy! We finished with the Black Forest chocolate cake special and it too was just delicious! Our server was very attentive and friendly.

    The food today was sub-par. I got one of my favorite things, the tempeh Rueben. The tempeh was hard as if deep fried (??) and barely corned. The sandwich didn’t hold together as it has in the past. The sage pound cake was at least a day old and very dry.

    We loved our waiter, Steven! And the playlist was perfect for our lunch. Food and drinks were excellent, the saffron pasta a bit spicy/saffrony for two of us but otherwise we loved the orecchiette special and the guava cava drink special, soups and sandwiches, delicious. We are not Coloradans but hope to return! Loved the museum and the restaurant! Thanks for a great experience.
