About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
A culinary island in Southern Utah, the Painted Pony brings a touch of class--and intriguing flavors--to St. George. The restaurant, tucked away in Ancestor Square, is exceptionally clean and cozy, with contemporary art, fresh flowers, and -- in the evening -- a top notch romantic atmosphere with subdued lighting and patio dining.

If your surroundings don't clue you in, your first glance at the menu will. Painted Pony is not your standard fare. Contemporary American cuisine evidently doesn't mean just another good steakhouse, and the simply written food descriptions promise something new and intriguing for your palate.

The Painted Pony has perfected the fine art of using fresh ingredients and delicate flavoring. An exceptional wine list, generous portions, attentive service, and reasonable prices will convince you to return to "the Pony" anytime you're in St. George.

    The server and all the people we had contact with that work there are very friendly and helpful. The beet salad was excellent and the presentation impressive. The beef bourguignon was good but the meat was not as tender as it should be.

    I treated a dear friend to a lovely birthday lunch. The food and service were lovely and no one rushed us as we sat and talked for hours. They have just announced their new spring menu. Because my husband has dietary restrictions due to a heart condition, I was disappointed that the dinner menu did not include many options for him. I wish they would provide more heart-healthy selections for their senior clientele, using wine and spices (coq au vin or provencal dishes, for example), instead of loading most of the entrees with cream, butter, bacon, prosciutto, cheese and other fatty sauces and components. The lunch menu actually offers a wider selection of healthy food with a nice gourmet touch.

    Earlier today the hostess called me to verify my seating request. Same hostess greeted us and offered us the choice of seating. Server was helpful, pleasant and communicated well. Food was beautifully served and delicious. Will definitely come again

    Food was not perfect. Crab cakes were a not Cooke properly. Beet salad was good and big enough to share. Spendy. So I was just expecting more. Service was exceptional.

    Wonderful late lunch in this lovely restaurant-well appointed southwestern motif overlooking Ancestors Square. All four of us enjoyed our entrees-food preparation & presentation was very good. Our server was friendly & attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

    We are from Washington state and each year when we drive to Palm Springs for vacation we stop at St George overnight and eat at the Painted Pony, we love it! It’s been consistently good for 10 years. Service is great, creative cocktails and appetizers and an ever changing delicious menu.
