Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I'm giving this a 5/5 because I think it deserves more diners. Please visit Ponce!! We only got a few things because we were still quite full from our lunch, and we visited quite early (at 5:30 PM-ish). We visited December 19 pero it still wasn't as packed, but I heard it gets busier during dinnertime. I sure hope so! Ponce is such a treat. I'm a savory girl by heart, and Ponce tickled my tastebuds! I loved everything, from the tapas down to the desserts. The food was so vibrant and colorful, and so beautifully presented. The drinks are also worth trying. And their group bundles are also super, super worth it! (Tried it nung first time namin here.) Ponce is amazing and quite cheap din, compared to similar restaurants. It's quite cold inside pero staff were accommodating and turned the temp up naman. One thing though is that the food tends to get cold easily because of the AC, so I suggest you guys chow down on everything before the picture-taking. You can't go wrong with their menu, I swear! Come here and please recommend to your friends!!"
"Honest reviews Food experience 10/10 All dish was delightful, I just wish they just served paella with the main course, all at once. Drinks were good, just had a right amount of sweetness. We have ripe and green Mango shake. The churros was a so so. In my opinion the size of the lamb was quite overpriced. Ambiance 10/10 The place was cozy. It was inviting and comfortable. They have plenty of rooms for a private group and meetings. Best time to visit is during weekdays. Just wondering because my bill reach almost 4k but I was discounted for about P153 pesos only, with my PWD ID. Been through different restaurants but this was gravely small percentage of discount..this was kinda disappointing but still I will revisit. Receipt was also posted. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely comes back to try other dishes."
"We used the UB promo 50off. Overall, the food was surprisingly good. The beef check was soft, the calamari perfectly crunchy. Though the paella had no toasted rice. I was shocked though by the 10% Service charge included in the bill because the service was not very good and seemed not well trained. Serving portions were also quite small"
"We did our Year End Party here and we loved the place. The food is highly recommended. The owner is really nice."
"Everything that we ordered was great! Cochinillo was crispy, flavorful but not salty, they offer 3 types of sauces for which i really like, we had to order their lengua 2x because 1 order is bitin. I also enjoyed their pintxos! must try. A bit pricy for the serving but we took advantage of CC 50% off. The cochinillo is excluded in the promo. Will defined come back"
"Serving size was small, a bit pricey, but delectable Spanish food. Warm and friendly service from the staffs."
"Are you a paella lover? If so, trying Ponce will make your tummy flutter in joy. I went with two friends, and we seemed to be the only non-couple diners that night. We had a feast, and I especially liked the squid paella and the fried chicken bites. The servers were friendly and attentive, definitely a plus. I also appreciated the romantic, quiet, and cozy ambiance. It was a lovely visit. Reservations aren’t required but are recommended."
"Patatas Bravas 4/5 Four Seasons Mocktail 5/5 Brie con Iberico 5/5 Costillas Asadas 3.5/5 Zarsuela de Marisco 4/5 Pasta de Angelo 4/5 Gambas al Ajilo 4/5 Paella mars y montana 3.5/5 Turon de leche 5/5 Food was good overall. Kulang sa alat yung ibang dish but u can ask for salt and pepper (waiter will grind it fresh). Babalikan ko yung Pintxos Brie con Iberico and the Turon de Leche. Pero for my hubby food is "mid" Little waiting time for the food, except for the paella that took 20 mins and they would inform this upon ordering Availed the 50% off promo with UB on a Saturday. They allowed us to avail even if we only called around 3 hours before the reservation time (TnCs say must be reserved at least 1 day before), so grateful for the management"
