Boats calmly drifting along the canal make a relaxing backdrop for fine grilled seafood with distinctive Asian touches.

The Scene
Secluded in lush surroundings, this is a perfect spot for a peaceful, refined meal. Whether eating alfresco on the balcony or inside in a quiet corner, diners enjoy both intimacy and unique views of the canal and the Fremont drawbridge.

The Food
Top-quality seafood is expected at such an established restaurant; what's surprising is that the menu veers toward robust Asian flavors. The signature Thai penne curry is a knockout, with scallops and crab in a spicy blend of tomato-ginger chutney and coconut milk. For those in a sushi mood, the ahi tuna is just kissed by the grill and accompanied by soy sake and wasabi aioli. Asian accents also distinguish the black cod with its red-curry sauce and the halibut glazed with orange miso. For a simple start, pass on the salads and go with the large, plump scallops in lemon butter.

Message from Ponti Seafood Grill:

Resting romantically atop the scenic ship canal and surrounded by luscious trees, flowers and grapevines, our beautiful restaurant is reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa. The warmly decorated interior rooms showcase beautiful water and bridge views. Multiple patios are perfect for outdoor dining. Things that have been said... "A spectacular fusion of Northwest Bounty, European techniques, Mediterranean sensibility and Pacific Rim Pizzazz!" "A gorgeous spot at the south side of the Fremont Bridge. This serene, elegant seafooder has a well-deserved reputation. Unbeatable al fresco dining." "Suberb! Ponti offers the single finest waterside dining experience in the city. Like a European vacation without the hassles." There is much to love..A comfortably intimate bar, ship canal view, world-roaming wine list and Mediterranean ambience. Seafood is Ponti's middle name.
