Contemporary American
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.

    Just ok this time around. Previous experiences (3+ years ago) were outstanding. Food was not up to the standard we anticipated. While I would still recommend PP, it would down the list of my top 5 in St. George.

    The staff is amazing. Kelli is probably the best server ever! She should train all servers everywhere! The food is good. The beet salad, prosciutto wrapped dates and baked Brie are amazing. We were there after a long day of traveling and ate light. Overall, a nice place to eat and enjoy conversation with friends.

    I’ve been going to this establishment for years in St George and absolutely loved it However since the new owners the quality of meat and attention to quality ingredients has declined horribly.. they changed the ribeye with blue cheese balls with corn bread balls and one jalapeño on top the steak was so thin and very tuff I took friend’s for there anniversary bragging about it and they had never been there before.. he is an ex chef from cordon bleu and was extremely disappointed… we will not be returning… so sad.

    The food and the service were outstanding! We split all three courses. We had the tomato and mozzarella salad - fresh and delicious. The salmon polenta cakes were special, including the fresh relish served on top. Our last course was a tea infused duck and it was also special.
