Our server…read moreArlene was very attentive and the owner Nic checked in on us a few times just to make sure we were having a pleasant experience. It made us feel truly welcomed and also appreciated. They were genuinely nice and made us feel at home though it was a restaurant. If you want a delicious and very elevated cocktail this is the place to go. My husband got a Paloma and I got a lavender gin drink. Both were very well made and beautifully presented As far as the food goes, we got the feta honey cheese pie which was very new to us but was excellent. It was very crispy and flaky on the outside with sweet sticky honey drizzled on top but then warm, melt in your mouth cheese in the middle. The greek salad was very fresh and delicious. We love the potato salad core. We also got the Greek sampler that had a lovely and light feta cheese spread with hummus and tzatziki with peppers and red onions. Very tasty and delicious. It came with a side of pita bread. The main entree we got the Chicken Ala Mykonos Dinner. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The sauce on the orzo was creamy but light. Everything worked well together and was perfectly balanced. We were so stuffed we brought home three boxes of food. When we were leaving Nick offered us two biscoff desserts to go. They looked so delicious we had to try a sample of it when we got home even though we were completely stuffed. The dessert tasted like a light version of a biscoff cookie. Not too sweet, very soft, and little firmer than pudding. We've never had anything like it but it was delicious Overall it was a great experience and we will certainly be back

I'll start by saying the two people with me had Greek dishes, Chicken Naousa and Chicken Souvlaki, and both had positive things to say. If we return someday I will go Greek, as I found my burger a little dry and kind of a challenge. My choice was their Dallas BBQ Cheeseburger with bacon, which I asked to be cooked medium. My plate was full with the burger itself, fries, and separately the usual burger toppings. With the onion rings and the bacon strips, I decided to not try to assemble with the toppings but just include those as I ate. The slowness of the meal was noticeable, I started with a side Caesar Salad, which took about 20 minutes to arrive.

Incredible food, great vibes, and stellar service from Natalie. We'll definitely be back soon!

The drunken parm is something you must try! It is a good size, the chicken has the perfect crunch and the sauce is to die for! I love trying their speciality lattes too, I enjoyed the caramel pistachio. The waiters I've received have consistently provided basic service and are pretty "relaxed". I definitely go for the coffee, food, DJ and outdoor seating/grass area! There are usually bigger groups or family's here but there is plenty of space where it doesn't feel crowded!

It felt relaxed and comfortable, which made the whole meal more enjoyable. Food was really good, and the menu has a lot of options, so there's something for different tastes. The brunch cocktail was also really good. Prices were reasonable for the quality, which I appreciated. It wasn't very busy either, so we got a peaceful brunch instead of a loud, rushed one. That made a big difference. The only thing I would say is they should add some kids options. If they did that, it would be even easier to come back with the whole family. Would definitely return for brunch again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our early evening dinner was fantastic. Excellent service, excellent food and everything we would expect from a fine dining experience curated by the family-owned The Ponte Group. We're big fans of On Swann and Olivia and have had Ponte Modern American on our list for a while. We arrived to Midtown and were ready for our dining experience. We received a friendly welcome into the light and airy entrance. We were escorted along white cloth covered tables to the spot where we would dine. Our server was around quick and started on drinks for us. The cocktail menu offers classic and modern versions of some of the most common drinks. I love an old fashioned and opted for the "modern" version. Instead of bourbon, it was made with Japanese whiskey, kokuto, which is considered to be the world's healthiest brown sugar and black walnut bitters. It had depth and flavor and a flair that made it stand out compared to the classic drink. My wife had a mocktail. It was light, sweet and hit the spot she said. We didn't order any starters but a man with a variety of fresh breads came around multiple times. He offered up as much as we would like, everything from sourdough to focaccia and beyond. My favorite was a black olive sourdough. The Chef also sent out a small espresso cup filled with his signature mushroom soup. At first a little confused, I eventually got bold with it and sipped this like I was sipping coffee. It was really good. Thick, rich and flavorful. The white mushrooms and earthy truffle creme made this a hit. I could have had a whole bowl of this but soup just isn't my go-to. Between the cocktail, bread and soup, this dinner was already starting out pretty fantastic. For our mains, I got the house specialty Beef Wellington. My wife got the boneless short ribs entree. Our food arrived and we were ready to dig in. Like most elegant dining experiences, you can expect top notch food, smaller portions and a focus on presentation. My Beef Wellington was served medium rare. It was wrapped in salty prosciutto, mushroom duxelles and had a little extra depth, foie gras. The duck liver added texture and a buttery flavor that melded with everything well. The earthy minced mushrooms had an array of pointed subtle flavor. I appreciated the classic take on a classic dish, that had a hint of flair that worked so well. The red wine demi glas was an excellent dipping sauce and added to the overall presentation with it's dark red smear on the plate. My wife highly enjoyed her short ribs. The tender beef was rich in flavor and paired well with pureed potatoes and an apple slaw garnish for a hint of sweet with a little spice. We also shared a side dish. The campanelle mac and cheese. This was rich, creamy and an excellent Mac and cheese side that we would definitely get again. While we didn't order dessert, they did send out three small sweets. A mini key lime custard, dark chocolate and a small chocolate chip cookie. All of them were sweet and tasty. A nice little finish. Our dinner at Ponte was great. From the service, to the food, to the ambiance and experience, all maintain that level of elegance and modern that make it what it is: a restaurant you should eat at.

And the food? Did not disappoint! The service was top notch with nothing but perfection to say the least. The pull-apart milk bread is an absolute must. Chad may or may not have eaten an entire loaf--or two--himself! The sticky toffee butter cake was another standout, along with the hamachi crudo and the seriously creative tuna tartare cannolis. But the Strawberry Shortcake Vacherin deserves a special mention. It's a deconstructed strawberry shortcake featuring crisp, airy meringue (pavlova), crunchy shortbread pieces, juicy sweet strawberries, and tart lemon sorbet. The combination of textures and flavors was fantastic, and the lemon sorbet was the perfect balance to the sweetness. Definitely worth venturing out to SoHo for--and apparently worth ordering an extra loaf of bread!

The service was outstanding from the moment we walked through the doors until the time we left. Even though the restaurant was fairly new when we visited, everything ran seamlessly. I highly recommend The Landon for anyone looking for an elevated dining experience.
