A must-try in St. George! My family and I make sure to visit this place whenever we are passing through the city. Everything we have gotten here has been high-quality, delicious, and reasonably priced. We ordered off the lunch menu last time, with pictures attached. The crab cake appetizer was probably the best crab cake I have ever had! I loved the fruit garnishing. The cured salmon sandwich tasted almost like a poke bowl in a sandwich, just as the waiter described. It was light and refreshing, and the flavors were very well executed. I hope to visit many times again!
We are locals here in St George, but we hadn't been back to the Pony for a while. We came back to celebrate the engagement of our son with his fiancee the prior weekend and Father's Day - looking for the the special occasion fine dining that the Pony offers. We were not let down! We asked for champagne but settled on a bottle of the Jeio Prosecco we'd had in the past. We followed it with great appetizers - the bacon-wrapped gouda-stuffed dates were terrific. Two of us had the grilled ribeye, both cooked to perfection as ordered - medium-rare. The ladies had the lamb chops. For dessert we splurged, as calorically speaking none of us are frequent dessert fans. We tried the lemon cheesecake, the baked Alaska, the strawberry meringue torte and the chocolate espresso cake. They were all excellent with beautiful presentations! Our server Carina did an excellent job at pacing our service as we were in no hurry. In all, whether local or visiting, we urge people to stop by the Painted Pony for a fine dining experience to remember!
Our second time at Painted Pony did not disappoint. Service is informative and kind. Food is delightfully delicious. Atmosphere is a classic cozy with its own flair. Will definitely go again next time we are in the area. The bison (not pictured) and the duck were both delightful.
The service of this place is just top. We ordered a few plates my fav …the clams, the staff is very kind and helpful. Definitely will come back.
Such accommodating and friendly service, they were able to answer any question about the food in delicious detail. We ordered a medium rare buffalo tenderloin and a steak tenderloin and they were delicious! We also split a ginger creme brulee which was the perfect size after our entrees!
While visiting Utah, I stopped by this place for lunch. I ordered the crab cakes and a Beet Salad with Salmon. The crab cakes were moist, seasoned perfectly, flavorful and packed with real crab. The salad came with two thick slices of beets and a large portion of goat cheese. Without question, the crab cakes were some of the best I’ve had. Both dishes were amazing as was the plate’s presentation. The restaurant is beautifully designed and the decor goes well with its overall vibe. Kudos, to my server Dominic. He had a great personality and was very honest when asked about his recommendations. He definitely understands and values the importance of providing good customer service.
We stopped here for lunch while driving from Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon, and it was the highlight of our trip so far! The Ahi Tuna Tower was as gorgeous as it was delicious, and the bacon-wrapped stuffed dates (with Gruyère substituted for the blue cheese) were phenomenal. Washing it down with a crisp glass of Gruet Brut Rosé was the perfect touch. Excellent service, great presentation, and a wonderful atmosphere. It turns out Gemini recommended this spot to us, and it absolutely nailed it!
We showed up (party of 2) with no reservation and they were kind enough to find us a table on the patio. The outside was a bit hot but we managed. We had the cooked brie, French onion soup, beef tenderloin, and ribeye. The brie with garlic and cranberry was quite interesting combination, the soup was excellent, but most importantly each meat dish was perfect. I was worried but some other reviews that the steak would be cooked incorrectly and when I sliced in the beginning it was a little more well than I expected, but the center was still medium and the taste was amazing, so no complaints. This is definitely a high-end experience, so expect 10-17$ for starters and 47-69$ for mains, and drinks are of course added cost. If you are on a budget and still want to feel full I think the ribeye is a good value.
We had a wonderful romantic dinner at Painted Pint for my birthday. The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and perfect for a special occasion. Thank you for helping make my birthday celebration so memorable. We will definitely be back!
This was the first place I decided to eat at on my trip to St George, Utah and it did not disappoint. The wait staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The cocktail menu is impressive and the food is superb. Their menu is seasonal and often they have a dish just on a particular day. It's a little pricey, but if you're on vacation like I was, you shouldn't quibble over treating yourself. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the food or the service. I ate lunch there twice and I truly regret not going during dinner hours because it would have been an elevated experience based on what I saw. Parking near there might be a pain, but my hotel was so close I walked there (1 and half blocks) which was a good thing because there's so much beauty to see in the town and lots of interesting shops and museums near Ancestor Square where the restaurant is located. If I ever get lucky enough to end up back in St George is will absolutely go back.
