Recently visited Ponto on Sunday around 13:30pm.
Was welcomed by a very pretty restaurant and a polite server. However after asking how many were in our party did not guide us to an available table, just told us to look and find somewhere!
Asked another server if we were able to sit upstairs. Was very quiet and slightly abrupt however advised we could. Decided to sit upstairs, had a very pleasant view over the square.
You can order through QR codes or go up to the bar and order. We ordered through the QR. Has a very large and varied menu, appreciated the choice however felt unsure what the style of the food actually was!
Ordered a pink lemonade and a banoffee milkshake for drinks. Both delicious, not too sweet and very reasonable price.
For food we got the tapas offer. Opted for arancini, chicken wings and the mini pulled brisket chilli. We also got a pot of macaroni cheese on the side.
All of the food was delicious, the mac n cheese was creamy, arancini had an excellent texture and the chilli had a nice mild heat. The chicken wings were okay but a bit tough.
I would say the food is reasonably priced if leaning to slightly overpriced for the actual portion size.
Unfortunately no server came to check up on us and how the food was. No one saw us out either.
Overall would say had a mostly positive experience, do feel the servers could help to really make the lounge feel more like an experience rather than just a lunch stop. However the food was delicious and the restaurant is decorated beautifully.
The Ponto Lounge is a very nice place in the centre of Hull. There aren't a lot of places in Hull's centre where you can hear actually hear anything other than booming 90s music. Thankfully, this is a little oasis. A good selection of beers and very good service. Didn't try the food but will do next time.
Quirky design and great food. We opted for the tapas menu and really enjoyed the selection of what was available. Absolutely loved the whipped feta dip, will certainly be back!
