- LLeighVIPDenver / Colorado •28 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWhat a great find! We wanted to spend the day at the Denver Art Museum and realized that The Ponti serves a lovely lunch offering. Our drinks were all spot-on (smooth, well-crafted) and each of the entrees our party enjoyed were great! From burgers to a tempeh rueben sandwich to a super luscious salmon benedict -- all were cooked perfectly and very tasty -- we definitely will return. One of the highlights of the lunch was our amazing server -- just pleasant, funny, and very efficient. If you are looking to spend some time in the area, I highly recommend The Ponti!More infoThe Ponti at the Denver Art MuseumPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Central•4.7
