What a treat Ponto Lago is!!! This place is so memorable for its extraordinary flavors that we came back twice in a month. The bespoke menu curated by The Passionate Chef surprises in its brights tastes and unique pairings.The restaurant is gorgeous with a world-class view but you can’t take your eyes off the glistening open kitchen where a dozen staff orchestrate preparation and execution of your meal under focused lights around shiny grills and elegant prep zones. It is artful. The meals are amazing — fishes & meats roasted over embers w/dimension sauces & inspired tastes that excite. We wanted to try everything so we ordered a variety to share. It was a beautiful night and each experience brings us back for more. Dessert can’t be missed either. You’ll never forget this unique gem and its quality food. We’ll be back!

Great food, good vibe. We were sat quickly and the dining room was beautiful and spacious. It took the waiter a while to take our order, despite the restaurant being empty, and didn’t check back with us frequently. We had breakfast and the food was delicious!

Chelsea is a star. Such great service and personality. The lunch bowls are a great value although the protein is a very small amount. I love their egg drop soup - way more flavorful than other restaurants. The new chicken teriyaki is super sweet and I wouldn’t get it again. The lettuce wraps are yummy and are available on happy hour.

Vigilucci’s is always a delight. I’ve never had anything less than a wonderful meal. Our service is always amazing, the food is made with care, always fresh, and the portions are generous. I’ve been visiting all three Vigilucci’s locations for a couple of years now, and the Trattoria in Leucadia is my favorite of the three.

First of all we are old school Italians who cook and travel to Italy every year we like to try all the Italian restaurants in north county, and Buona Forchetta is one of the best. You will never go wrong with any of their dishes and the pizza is very good. Make sure to make reservations as the restaurant is small and always busy.
