Since it opening in 2006, Red Pony Restaurant has impressed guests by staying true to a mission focused on cuisine and service.
Chef owned and operated, Red Pony changes its menu about six times a year with the intention of keeping ingredients the season’s freshest and the variety of dishes dynamic.
While a great deal of the menu pays homage to the Sophisticated Southern foods Chef Jason McConnell grew up on, you will also see a reflection of his travels, that drive his creativity.
It is our belief that food is something to be celebrated. We also believe that experience is a huge part of dining. Whether it be enjoying a crafted cocktail at one of our bars or enjoying dinner at the table, we want each guest to be seamlessly guided through their time at Red Pony Restaurant.
We love our community and we love food.

We have been to The Red Pony several times before. This experience was just average. The food was good but not outstanding as in the past, and certainly not what you expect for the price. The waitstaff had "specific" jobs, and when you asked let's say for more water when you food was being delivered, they replied I will get your waiter to come by to give you more water. This took an additional 10 minutes for our waiter to arrive back at our table. Not very efficient nor is the type of service you'd expect for fine dining. Overall just meh!

Our experience was simply magical. Our servers, John and Jennifer, went above and beyond to make our night special. John had a deep rich knowledge of the restaurant’s history and explained each dish in great detail to help guide us in our culinary adventure. Every single dish, sauce, and drink brought out was absolutely amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our Anniversary. WE WILL BE BACK!

Six of us dined here before a theater production. Our waiter was kind, our food was good. The ambience was pleasing. Everything was quite expedient. No complaints, only compliments.
