My husband and I dined at Ponty Bistro tonight and had another superb meal there. We have been wondering why the food is so great, and it turns out the two Chefs, originally from Senegal, have worked in the some of the very best restaurants in NYC, including Daniel Restaurant, Vong, 60 Thomson and Towne at the Chambers Hotel. The food and ambiance are warm and inviting, and they play very cool music. We think its the type of "find" that makes living in New York worth the hassle. We both had very tasty butternut squash soup with a touch of ginger. I had the grilled whole fish as an entree, which was stuffed with herbs and spices--truly awesome. He had a fantastic strip steak with delicious sauce. We totally recommend Ponty Bistro. There is something for everyone, including vegetarians. The presentation is always four star, and the prices are extremely reasonable, especially the pre-fixe menus, which seem to offer a real bargain at lunch and dinner. We have been there a number of times, and its always consistent in top quality food and service. Enjoy!

I went there to eat. After I ordered, I looked through the glass window that allow you to see the kitchen, and there was the chef cooking my hunger steak. Since I was very hungry I kept watching. What I saw was very unpleasant. The person cooking my meal, grab the steak with his bare hands and flipped it. Like that was not bad enough, he stuck the finger in his mouth and then wiped it in his side. He continue to handle the other things that were on the grill. Trust me I watched carefully, he did not wash his hands. He just kept on cooking. So I walked out
