This place is a great find! Excellent food. My pork chop was perfect and the ribs were also amazing. Even the kids’ spaghetti and meatballs was delicious. I have a hard time finding really good food in St. George. It is full of chains and super expensive places. We will happily come out to Hurricane and return here over and over.

The food was wonderful and the view was spectacular. My only regret is that we were at the Open Sky resort two nights and this restaurant was only open one of those nights. We loved everything we ordered. The service was great.

Painted Pony

Contemporary American

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.

This was the second time in a three year period that we celebrated our Anniversary dinner at this restaurant. Won’t go anywhere else when we are in town for a vacation. Highly recommended. One of the best steaks I have ever had!

We were greeted at the door by Marissa, a lovely hostess. Our meal was delicious…. we shared the salad mista with Italian vinaigrette, and spaghetti and meatballs. For desert, we shared the chocolate cake. The service was excellent and we would patronize this restaurant if we lived in town. They even gave us a military discount which was much appreciated by my husband. Thank you!
