New Menu for Spring

Our timeless Wine Country Salad at The Restaurant at Ponte

There is more happening at Ponte than bud break and baby bunnies, you know.  Good things are happening at The Restaurant at Ponte  in the form of a new, seasonal Spring menu.  Chef Sal continues to take his inspiration from what’s fresh.  His well-rounded selection of dishes is reminiscent of the globe, with influences from Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Californian cuisine.  Here are a handful of just-added dishes that you simply mmmust try:

From the Starter Menu:

Crudo Trio – A selection of three portions of the most pristine fish: Hamachi with lemon basil vinaigrette and basil greens; Salmon with blood orange gastrique, radish and fennel; Ahi tuna with miso glaze, wasabi crème fraiche, cucumber and daikon radish.  Pair with 2014 Vermentino.
