We recently celebrated my Dad's & Broski's birthday at Ponce Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! My dad is proudly Puerto Rican, so we wanted to honor him with authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. Initially, we had plans at a different restaurant, but due to some last-minute fees and changes (plus the unexpected loss of our 96-year-old aunt), we decided to pivot. That's when we found Ponce, and honestly, it was the best decision we could've made. From the first call, Henry, the staff member who helped us, was welcoming and accommodating. Despite calling on a Thursday to plan a Sunday celebration for about 20 people, he assured us there were no extra fees and made the entire process stress-free. When we showed up with closer to 30 people, they didn't bat an eye--they adjusted everything to make us comfortable. The ambiance was vibrant and culturally beautiful. The restaurant was clean, the tables were set up beautifully, and the music was spot on. The staff even played my Dad's favorite artist, Juan Luis Guerra, which made the celebration extra special. The service was phenomenal--big shoutout to Henry, Jessica, Carmen, and Lydia for going above and beyond to make us feel at home. They didn't rush us, didn't give us attitude, and even let us bring in our own cake. The food? Delicious! Everything came out fresh, hot, and flavorful. The drinks were fantastic too. The kids in our group had a blast, and the adults were just as happy. We are so glad we switched to Ponce--it turned what could've been a stressful situation into a beautiful celebration that my Dad & Broski will always remember. If you're looking for great food, amazing service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is the spot. Thank you, Ponce, for giving us a celebration we'll never forget! read more
