The Painted Pony
Upscale New American restaurant in Ancestor Square at the corner of St. George Boulevard and Main Street, known locally as 'the Pony'.
The kitchen changes its menu with the seasons and works with hormone- and antibiotic-free beef and free-range chicken; the dining room hangs contemporary regional art and opens onto a patio. The scrap-metal horse standing outside was built from some 850 pieces by the southwestern artist Matt Clark.
About the food
New American describes a style rather than a set of dishes — regional sourcing, seasonal menus and technique borrowed freely from other cuisines — and a menu that changes with the seasons is the clearest sign of it. Matt Clark, who built the horse outside, is a southwestern artist known for scrap-metal animal sculpture. Ancestor Square sits on the original 1860s townsite corner, and the restaurant occupies one of the adapted historic buildings rather than a new shell.
