St. George

About the restaurant

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.

Thank you Switchback Grill for making our 25th Wedding Anniversary so delicious! Beautiful setting overlooking the mountains from the wall of windows. Perfect filet mignon, mashed potatoes and spinach dip. Our son had the grilled chicken that was also great. Excellent cocktails and finished the night with cheesecake and a chocolate shake. Well worth it.
