Apps The calamari is sublime The escargol lacked flavor The oysters had a nice sauce on the side though it was too sweet for my taste. I didn't like the macaroni and cheese I thought it was too creamy and not cheesy enough. Main The lobster and shrimp was good But at the price point I think they should give you more than a half of lobster and three shrimp The shrimp were cooked to perfection but the lobster was overcooked The muscles were divine I loved the sauce they were in but it should come with pasta instead of french fries. I didn't like the chocolate mousse It wasn't airy enough it was too heavy.

Enjoyed a lady's day out at Ponty Bistro for brunch/lunch on a Saturday. It's an African-French-inspired restaurant. The atmosphere was low-key. Nice restaurant for friends, family, and dates. We ordered the Crab Benedict, Steak with home fries, Maple French Toast, and the lobster burger with fries. The food was tasty and well-seasoned. The Maple French Toast is delicious!!! For drinks the Virgin Moscow Mule, Bissap, and the Darkar Lemonade. The waiters are professional, hard-working and friendly. There is a bar so you can sit and order drinks. Overall my experience was good. Definitely will come for dinner. Try the dinner menu Paid parking is on the street. Please read the signs. Don't want a ticket.

5+ Stars for the superbly attentive, fast and friendly service. My group rolled in at staggered times for early dinner on a rainy weekend with 3 adults and 4 little kids. Rather than being annoyed, staff treated us like their own family, warmly accommodating every request, quick to keep the drinks topped, cracking jokes to keep everyone's vibe light. Each bite I tried was intricate and memorable. This menu is showing off deftly layered bold flavors and doesn't disappoint. We tried the Three Cheese Gougeres, Poulet Yassa (massive slab of chicken), L' Onglet a L'Echalote (juicy steak), and Niokolokoba (spicy steak). Our kids enjoyed their virgin mule mocktails, and I'll vouch for the Moroccan Old Fashioned 👌🏽 Looking forward to trying more of Ponty's menu!

I recently dined at a West African restaurant in Harlem. Tried for the Senegalese chicken, I was a bit disappointed as the meat turned out to be rather dry, accompanied by rice that shared the same fate. The calamari offered a slight redemption, being acceptable in taste. However, the standout feature of the experience was the friendly demeanor of the staff, who made the visit more enjoyable despite the culinary letdown. Overall, while the ambiance and service were pleasant, the food failed to impress, leaving much to be desired in terms of flavor and texture.
