A culinary island in Southern Utah, the Painted Pony brings a touch of desperately needed Southwestern class -- and intriguing flavors -- to St. George. The restaurant, tucked away in Ancestor Square, is exceptionally clean and cozy, with contemporary Southwestern 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. A simple but varied wine list, generous portions, attentive service, and reasonable prices will convince you to return to "the Pony" anytime you're in St George.
