“ I've eaten at Ponty Bistro quite a few times over the years, though now that I've moved, I don't get to go as often. Still, it's always a solid choice when I'm in Harlem! My favorite dish is the Poisson Fish--they serve it two different ways and both are super tasty. The drinks never miss, and the vibe is always chill with great music playing in the background. The service is okay--it could be a bit better, but it's not bad. Overall, it's a spot I'll keep coming back to when I'm in the neighborhood! ”

“ I must say I definitely enjoyed the food, it was delicious and nicely plated. Drinks are nice and well made. Ambiance was vibrant, gets busy for brunch. Great for a nice meal or drinks. Dining area towards the back, communal table in middled and back in front. Service was mediocre. Food was timely, drinks were not, had to call another server to get the attention of my server- to remind them about a drink order made 20 mins prior. All the while this was early dinner where it wasn't overly busy yet. I would give it another try and see how it goes. ”

“ Ponty Bistro never disappoints me. I absolutely love this place! The food is always good. This is the second time I have ordered take out. I also have dined at the restaurant. I will continue to eat here. ”

“ ThisThis was my go-to restaurant when I lived in Harlem. Wanted to meet a few sorority sisters and this place came to mind. They still have their happy hour with my favorite lychee martini. I love to try a few things, so we ordered several appetizers to share. The service is top tier! The ambiance is casual chic. ”

“ Ponty Bistro has done it again. Every time I order the steak, it never disappoints. The African spices permeate the meat and complement it perfectly. The seasoned rice is also delicious. On this visit, there was a DJ playing all the right tunes, setting a great mood. Normally, the service is excellent, but I was disappointed this time. Despite that one off experience, Ponty is always a reliable go-to for food. ”

“ Delicious. We came here after a local restaurant turned us away. This is my second time visiting this restaurant. They have French and Senegalese dishes. I got the salmon which was cooked to perfection and the Moroccan old fashioned. Everything was perfect. This place is open late also and is conveniently located in Harlem. ”

“ This is my 2nd time in Manhattan, and I had to come back to review this place. Every time I come here, the service stands out beyond many other establishments. They don't rush you into ordering your food nor have any issues with you asking them questions about the menu. The drinks to me have to be close to how good the food is. And everything is so clean as well. Next time I'm in Manhattan, I will come back for another try! ”

“ Not the best place in the world for a vegetarian, but they try their best to accommodate me. I had a group of 25 people after graduation, and they made sure everyone was comfortable easily going. I know the kids in my group were a little rowdy, but they never made us feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. They're highly recommend that all the meat eater raved about their food. People ask me all the time if we can go back. ”
