An Enjoyed Evening At Painted Pony
We called for reservations for two at 7:00 on a Thursday and our table was waiting even when we were a bit early. The wait person was prompt and courteous. Ala carte menu. The table well napped. It was quiet enough for us to carry on our conversation.

We both opted for the mixed green salad with shredded apple, walnuts, a mild cheese (bleu?) with a house vinaigrette dressing. My lady friend had the rack of lamb while I had the rib eye steak. We had brought our own bottle of Beaujolais (Corkage $10.00) so we did not look at their wine list.

The lamb, with roasted vegetables,was rated by her as excellent and a small nibble by me confirmed. My steak, cooked exactly to order was enjoyed and was served with well seasoned mashed potatoes with a line of seasoned green beans.

For a Californian the rules regarding the serving of alcoholic beverages was a bit disconcerting. When we finished our meal we could not go in and sit at the small bar for an after dinner brandy. Seems we had to have food in front of us to order a brandy. Go figure.

Probably the top restaurant in St George. Californians will be comfortable with its pleasant atmosphere and attention to detail.

Hope the natives enjoy it as much as we did. The bill ? $88.00 included the 20% gratuity. Will see them again later this year.    [26 Mar 2004 20:58:15]

Delightful
My husband and I just happened upon this place, hoping to get a table. Very pleasantly surprised, we walked right in. Delightful presentations and tasty to boot. As the previous person posted, very odd alcoholic beverage rules (We are from south Louisiana).

This establishment could hold it's own anywhere in the country.    [19 Apr 2005 11:57:35]
