    Beet Salad
    Veronique B.

    We stopped at Painted Pony during a road trip through St. George and were so glad we did. It's a beautiful, classy restaurant without feeling over the top. I had the beet salad and pumpkin purée soup, both were fresh and full of flavor. My cousins loved their French onion soups. The service was superb, attentive and kind. Such a great spot if you're passing through and want something a little elevated.

    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.

    SEARED AHI TUNA order it!!!

    This place is amazing. Sit on the rooftop patio- Order cocktails, order the baked Brie and mussels, definitely order the ahi tuna salad- hands down amazing. Husband got the burger and loved it!! Food double check, ambiance triple check, service- all the checks. We look forward to coming back!!

    GRASS FED TENDERLOIN

    The ambiance is on point -- classy and high-end. Started with an Aperol Spritz -- a bit bitter at first, so give it a stir, then it's perfect. The beet salad was phenomenal -- the goat cheese between the beets and the sauce were unreal. Easily a must-try. They served fresh bread that paired perfectly with the salad. The grilled tenderloin steak looked amazing and tasted even better. The seasoning and butter were to die for, and it melted in my mouth. The asparagus and mashed potatoes tied it all together -- smaller portions but just right. Paired it with an Obsidian Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley -- divine with the steak. Overall, an elevated dining experience I'd absolutely recommend.

    Lovely meal at the Painted Pony. Sweet and caring serving staff. We asked about the coffee and she had never had coffee but told us about it. Food was great. View was charming. We were passing through but would 100% recommend it.

    My son and I were visiting town and wanted an upscale dinner out. The Painted Pony came highly recommended and has been a staple in town for decades, so I figured we should give it a try. We had a reservation for a patio table, and when we arrived they let us know that they'd booked an additional table indoors for us so we could choose which one we wanted (the weather had turned bad and they wanted to make sure we were comfortable.) I appreciated that extra effort to look out for us and we opted to sit indoors. That turned out to be a wise decision, since we watched the storm roll in from the window. The service was fantastic and I was especially pleased with the accommodations they made for my dietary restrictions. (The chef must really like cheese since just about every dish had some sort of cheese ingredient in it.) The main dishes were ok. My son had a steak which he enjoyed. I had the Braised Lamb Shank which I found to be a bit overwhelming. While it was cooked well, the sauce was so strong in flavor that I could only have a few bites. Perhaps I'm one of the unusual guests that enjoys flavor but prefers it not to punch me in the tongue. Not a big deal, I'll order something different in the future.

    "Dining at Painted Pony was a delightful escape--where exquisite flavors meet a dash of savor. If you're in St. George Utah, consider P.P your culinary passport to sophistication with a side of smiles. Truly a tasteful experience worth trotting back for!" Thanks for a nice experience! ~CaliMan

    Mocktails - Lemon Raspberry Pomtini
    Breanne W.

    We always enjoy our meals and service here, the menus are well thought out, dishes played well and the servers always willing to answer questions about food intolerance needs. The ambience inside and outside is simply beautiful. We always find this restaurant to be a relaxing and peaceful place to dine. There are a few gluten free and dairy free options, I recommend reviewing the online seasonal menu in advance or calling ahead. The food is always incredible (except maybe the gf bread given with the oil and vinegar, that is the only thing that needs some work). The mocktails and drinks are incredible too!

    Beautiful art

    I was looking for a quick getaway for my birthday and we decided to head to Utah. I wanted to eat at a nice restaurant to enjoy my birthday dinner. I put in a search for "fine dining" in St. George and this place popped up. I took time to read reviews from fellow Yelpers and Ania K's review made my decision. The restaurant can be a little hard to find as it is somewhat hidden in this plaza but we did find it with five minutes to spare before our reservation time. As we entered, one could not help but notice the awards and articles that were hanging on the wall. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and taken to our window table with not much of view but that's ok we were there to dine. We were treated very well by the team of Nate and Anjuli. Their service was stellar. Nate was extremely helpful with recommendations which helped us in making our selections. The restaurant gives off a warm, cozy feeling. The walls are painted a deep red/gold with gorgeous art adorning the walls. The bar is small but intimate. This is a romantic restaurant for two as well a place to bring friends and enjoy special occasions. It has been open for 24 years and highly successful. Perusing the menu, this restaurant is known for their steaks and pork chops. The cocktail list is also extensive. I ended up ordering a French 75 although it was made a little differently than I have experienced, but still very tasty. My man went with the Pony Punch a tasty libation filled with rum and citrus. From there we moved on and ordered the Sesame Crusted Ahi as a starter. What was so incredible about this appetizer was the Ahi was served on a bed of arugula with a pomegranate mignonette and peanut lime vinaigrette. This dish was so light and the pomegranate mignonette just set off the delicious taste of the Ahi. After eating this we could not wait to taste dinner. There was quite a long wait between the appetizer and our dinner coming out but they were pretty busy on this weekday night. Not sure what the issue was but we waited patiently. I was torn on which entree to order but I went with the Grilled Tenderloin Steak accompanied with garlic - parmesan whipped potatoes, a cocoa-raspberry demi and asparagus. WOW! I was so glad I ordered this entreé. The steak was cooked perfectly and the garlic mashed potatoes were kissed with just the right amount of garlic, not overpowering. The asparagus were thick which I don't care for as I prefer thin asparagus but they were seasoned well. Hubby enjoyed his Bone In Pork Chop served with blue cheese walnut stuffed pear, chipotle corn bread pudding and a smoked tomato relish. The stuffed pear was sweet and savory all in one. Incredibly delicious as Nate had informed us it would be. For dessert Anjuli talked us into sharing a slice of their homemade key lime pie. It was delicious as was the mini ice cream sundae they brought out to celebrate my birthday. They also serve lunch and there is outdoor dining available on the inviting patio outside. Overall our experience here was five stars all the way and I cannot wait to return to try more of their dishes.

    Short Rib Ravioli
    Dan S.

    If you're looking for a great restaurant with great Ambiance, Service and Food, this is the place. As good a restaurant as you will find anywhere in the State. The price is what you would expect for such a nice establishment, and I would even consider it to be a good value when compared to fine dining in SLC. We were celebrating my daughter's 19th birthday and since we were out of town in St. George, we decided to take her out for something nice. She ordered the Grilled Tenderloin Steak, with whipped potatoes, Cocoa-raspberry demi, and asparagus. She ordered it MR (temp was probably a little closer to Med then MR) and it was delicious. 5/5 I love a good purée soup and their special was a Carrot Jalapeño Soup it was very good; the jalapeños didn't give it any heat just flavor that blended really well with the carrots. The carrot flavor was very mild. Loved it. 5/5 They change their menu seasonally with the exception of the Bone in Pork Chop, balsamic roasted grapes, curried sweet potato puree, haricot verts, it is their signature dish and a staple on the menu for years. I believe if a restaurant has a signature item, that they are known for and proud of, you should always try it, so I did, and it was amazing, one of the best Pork Chops I've ever had. The only problem is that there are other items on the menu that I would like to try but now I don't know how I will order anything else. 5/5 My wife ordered the Short Rib Ravioli, gorgonzola cream, cherry chutney, crispy shallots, and thought her meal was the best on the table. It was very good but a little on the sweet side, I'd still eat it and really enjoy it, but I liked the savory of the Port Chop a little better. Still a 5/5 My father ordered the Grilled Ribeye, mushroom arancini, broccolini, truffle crema. Excellent, I even stole a bite. 5/5 And my mother ordered the Green Goddess Salad and added Salmon for an extra $10 and loved it. 5/5 We tried the molten lava cake desert, it took a little longer to cook, maybe 30 min. but very good. 4/5 (I've had it before at other places) Our server was amazing, describing the specials and entrées with expertise and ease and making sure we all had an enjoyable time. Would highly recommend if you're looking for upscale dining in St. George.

    Food Quality: **** (Delicious, high-quality steaks) Service: *** (Friendly but a bit slow) Setting: **** (Cozy, upscale, great ambiance) Cost: *** (A bit on the pricier side, but worth it for the quality) Overall: **** (A great stop for a delicious meal while passing through) I was driving through St. George on my way from Colorado to California, and I'm so glad I stopped at Painted Pony. The steak I had was absolutely delicious--cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. The quality of the meat was evident, and I was really impressed with how well it was prepared. The atmosphere is great for a more upscale dining experience, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The setting is intimate but not stuffy, perfect for a nice, relaxed dinner. The service was friendly but a little slow, possibly because the restaurant was busy, so I'll dock it a star for that. However, it didn't ruin the overall experience. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but considering the quality of the food and the overall dining experience, it's definitely worth it. This place is now on my list of go-to stops when I pass through St. George--a must-try if you're in the area!

    Butterscotch crème brûlée with ginger snap - fantastic combo
    Alyssa S.

    The best service from Will & an outstanding meal while visiting beautiful St. George. Everything is made in house. I had cilantro carrot soup as a starter with homemade sourdough bread- fantastic! For my main course, I had the braised chicken with pumpkin polenta. The most fantastic fall combination ever. Although I was quite full, I knew that skipping dessert would be a big mistake here so I opted for the butterscotch crème brûlée with a ginger snap cookie. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is highly attentive and welcoming. I can't wait to return.

    The painted pony in St George Utah is a nice restaurant with inside and outside dining. Great atmosphere with local art. I had the brined pork chop which is a signature dish. For the price I was 50 50. The beat salad was very cold and the beets relatively hard rather than dedicate. The French onion soup was missing something on the flavor side. The bread was excellent with a crispy crust and tender inside. For me the bread was a highlight. My Manhattan Martini was a disappointment and tasted like it did not have the right proportions. Service was very friendly and accommodating especially since we did not have reservations.

    NOT A BREWERY EXPERIENCE…read more We stopped in expecting a typical brewery experience and were disappointed. We came specifically to try a flight, but were told that alcohol could only be served if we ordered food. That's understandable, but when I offered to order an appetizer, we were then told we could only get one beer with it, not a flight. The whole interaction felt unwelcoming, like our business wasn't really wanted. We would have happily ordered an appetizer and multiple beers, but instead were essentially told to just get beer to-go. We've visited almost every brewery in the state of Utah and hundreds of breweries across the country, so we're very familiar with how they typically operate. Being told this was "state law" felt misleading or, at the very least, poorly explained. Also worth noting: they close at 9 PM every night, which is quite early for a place presenting itself as a brewery. In our opinion, this is much more of a restaurant than a brewery, and it would be better advertised that way. Thankfully, we found a nearby spot (Station 2 Bar by Zion Brewery) that was far more accommodating and gave us the brewery experience we were looking for
