    Blackberry Wine Refresher, Calamari and the view.
    Nikki P.

    The view here is great, the patio set up is ideal. Service is fantastic and the food is good.

    Clam Chowder and spinach Salad
    Justin J.

    I found this restaurant months in advance when I was planning a big trip that would come through here and immediately knew I wanted to try it. It was relatively close to our hotel so that was a plus. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and the views are fantastic. It was hot outside so we sat inside. Our server was fantastic. And she took very good care of us. My mom and I both ordered Italian cream sodas, which we both loved. The bread and herb butter is among some of the best I had. My mother ordered a spinach salad and clam chowder, which she really enjoyed. I ordered the Filet and shrimp. When my filet was brought out I immediately could tell by the char on the steak that it was really overcooked. I ordered medium rare and it was medium well, close to well done. I'm not one to complain much but I informed my server and she immediately took it back and apologized. After a few minutes she brought out my new steak and asked me to cut into it to be sure it was cooked correctly. Unfortunately it was once again overcooked to medium well, although it was very slightly better than the last. I told her it was fine and she said she would take it back again since she saw it wasn't cooked correctly again. I kept the steak and ate about half. The steak was just ok. I'm not sure if they season their steaks much but it seemed to not have any seasoning on it. My vegetables weren't fully cooked and the mashed potatoes were good but had green onions mixed in which I didn't care for. My shrimp however were great. We decided to order a desert and got their Crème Brûlée. Our server offered us a second complimentary dessert to apologize for my steak, but we only wanted the one. When our check came our server once again apologized for my steak and informed us they comped all our cream soda's and the dessert. While I was really disappointed in my meal, the service we received was outstanding. I'm not from the area and don't know when or if I'll ever be back through St. George, but I would definitely come back to give Cliffside another try.

    Chilean Sea Bass

    First of all, the view of the city is absolutely gorgeous. As far as the view goes, I think it's the best dinning view in the city. The service was top notch. Our server was informative, not afraid to give suggestions and attentive to our table. My wife ordered the cliffside burger, which I tried (I'm a burger connoisseur) and this is easily the top 5 burgers I've had. She got the carrot cake for dessert and I cannot recommend that enough. I ordered the coconut crusted shrimp as an appetizer, the Chilean sea bass as my main dish and the molten lava cake for dessert. The Chilean sea bass, was cooked to absolute perfection. I don't believe I've had fish cooked that well in a long time. My appetizer was amazing, the orange dipping sauce they made was phenomenal. And my dessert, oh my gosh. It's cooked to order and served with ice cream! The atmosphere was peaceful and classy. 10 out of 10. Don't miss this gem while you're visiting, and if you're local and haven't tried it, don't walk, run to make a reservation!

    We've been getting season tickets for Tuacahn for several years now and large part of our getaway expirience is staying at the Inn On The Cliff and dining at the Cliffside restaurant. Cliffside has become one of our favorite restaurants. Honestly, I can't think of any bad experiences here. The staff from receptionist to the wait staff have always been so friendly and knowledgeable about any of the dishes on the menu or specials. This weekend I has the Chillean Sea Bass with mushroom risotto. Now added to the menu. It was so tender & delicate, perfectly prepared. Nothing worse than poorly overcooked fish. My wife had her usual Chili-Glazed Salmon as always. It is so consistently delicious as it is every time. Can't wait to be back in July!

    Slade is a really good server. The four cheese and pear pasta with added mushrooms is a delicious treat! It's so comforting and yummy! The atmosphere is good and the views are amazing! You can also bring your own bottle of wine for a $15.00 cork fee. There is also a wine and beer menu but no premium liquor or bar.

    Overall, I'm a bit unimpressed. For a $51 plate, I really shouldn't be served soggy bland frozen vegetables. They legitimately were the bagged veggies you microwave... My steak was also bland and overcooked. My husband also said his ribeye was just "ok". But coconut shrimp appetizer was great!! Our server was friendly and attentive! And the ambiance and the view were BEAUTIFUL!

    Swordfish special was amazing
    Randy D.

    Love this place. View is amazing and food always good. Was brought here for lunch by business colleagues and loved it. On my next visit to St George I brought my wife here. She also loved it We had the squash soup and fish of the day. Bread service was delicious and we scoffed it down. Appetizer was the squash bisque. Full of flavor and delicious I ordered the swordfish special and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly Service was great. Can't wait to return

    Vegetable pasta soup... with steak added
    Joshua L.

    We made a reservation for 745pm. We stayed at the inn adjacent to the restaurant. We had asked for a window seat specifically for my birthday. The restaurant said they would do that for us but we may have to wait which was fine. We called and confirmed again and told them again it was for a birthday dinner. Staff seated us away from the window and nothing was available. Didnt allow us to wait which was disappointing. Order the filet two glasses of red wine and a vegetable pasta with steak added on. The vegetable pasta looked like a pasta soup. It had good flavor but was a mess to look at. Steak was prepared well and placed on top of tasteless potatoes. No mention of the birthday. Waitress was not attentive. Really just a poor end to an overall good day. Service needs work.

    Ribeye
    Cindy K.

    We had the ribeye, cliffside burger, calamari, clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious! Calamari had bits of pickled jalapeños with just the right amount of flavor. Clam chowder was best I've ever had and the steak and burger were delicious! The views both from inside and outside were epic, especially at sunset. Our server was super friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!

    Exceptional Service from the wait staff! Truly an experience to have dinner and seated near windows that overlooked the city. Food was good and the venue was top notch. All guests seem to have a great time. The location was on top of the hill next to the hotel. Food came quickly, view from venue was breathtaking, staff was always ready, eager, and happy to serve.

    Service was good(very friendly just a bit slow). We enjoyed clam chowder, trout, and steak with a beer each. The restaurant was super cold inside, so plan accordingly. We did not feel rushed at all, it was a very relaxing meal. The bowl of clam chowder was huge and my husband really enjoyed it! The view is stunning.

    seared idaho red trout
    Natalie G.

    The views here are absolutely spectacular! Even after sunset, it's stunning to see the twinkling lights of the town below. The interior is clean, modern, and well maintained, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special night out. Our server, Nayar, was a delight--personable, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The bread was soft and fluffy, served with a delicious whipped herb butter. The spinach salad was thoughtfully split into two bowls for easy sharing, and the dressing was fantastic! The cheese and pear pasta was incredible. I don't usually order pasta, but I couldn't resist this unique pairing--especially after Nayar's recommendation--and it did not disappoint. I added salmon, which was perfectly seared and a generous portion. My boyfriend ordered the trout, which was also cooked to perfection. The crème brûlée was amazing (and I say this confidently, as it's my favorite dessert, so I've tried many). The highlight here is the elevated presentation, as every plate looked beautiful, along with the stunning views. Great value for the price. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a special evening out and definitely plan to return!

    If you are by the old airport in Saint George and are hungry this is a convenient place to stop. Has a nice view of the Temple and Zion in the distance.

    There are places you go... and then there are places that feel like you've finally come home…read more The Painted Pony is the latter. We adore slipping away for lunch and settling onto the patio, where the world softens--shade drapes gently overhead, birds sing as if they've been hired just for the occasion, and time... well, time slows down enough to breathe. The service is nothing short of immaculate--attentive in that quiet, effortless way that makes you feel seen without ever being interrupted. And the food... oh, the food. The bacon-wrapped dates must have been crafted in heaven... or perhaps meant for the gods and somehow gifted to us. The tuna melt was so transcendent I found myself wondering if I had ever truly tasted tuna before... or if I had just been living a lesser version of the experience all along. And the beef bourguignon... my heavens. It was as if your grandmother--if she were also a five-star chef--had been waiting for you, simmering something rich and soulful to welcome you back after a long journey. Even the tea felt royal... and the mocktails were so delightful, so thoughtfully made, that not once did we miss the alcohol. The Painted Pony isn't just a meal... it's a return.

    The Painted Pony in St. George, UT - A Cozy Gem with One Miss (Pass on the Crab Cakes)…read moreIf you're looking for a solid upscale dinner spot in downtown St. George, The Painted Pony in Ancestor Square is a strong choice. Tucked into the Tower Building, this New American restaurant nails the Southwestern-meets-fine-dining vibe: intimate indoor seating with contemporary regional art, fresh flowers, and soft lighting, plus a charming patio for when the weather cooperates. It feels romantic and relaxed without being stuffy--perfect for date night or a special occasion while visiting southern Utah.c91b9be2267e Service was attentive and friendly without hovering. Our server knew the menu well and made solid wine recommendations (they've got a nice list, and no-corkage Mondays are a nice touch if you BYO from a Utah store). Portions are generous for the price point--definitely not the tiny-plate nonsense you sometimes get at fine-dining spots. We started with the carrot jalapeño soup (bright, flavorful, and a nice kick) and the baked brie, which was rich and perfectly paired with the seasonal chutney and crostini. For mains, the bone-in pork chop and the hanger steak were highlights--well-cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor from the fresh ingredients and thoughtful sauces. The sides (mac & cheese and haricot verts) were solid too. We finished with the key lime pie, which was a bright, creamy winner. One note, though: pass on the crab cakes. They're a menu staple (around $16, served with something like pomegranate salsa or poblano aioli depending on the season), but ours were mostly filler with a noticeably fishy taste. Not worth the spot on the table when there are so many stronger starters and entrées.781e4d Overall, we'd happily return to The Painted Pony. It's one of the better fine-dining options in St. George--great atmosphere, strong service, and mostly excellent food at reasonable prices for what you get. Just skip the crab cakes and you'll have a winner of a meal. 4/5 stars. Recommended for visitors and locals alike. Reservations advised, especially on weekends.

We were well cared for, the meats came around often enough that we felt like we never ran out and had good variety. They kept our drinks filled and checked in on us often. The decor was cute and cozy. The restaurant was clean and we felt like the food quality was very good. We liked all of the meats we were given and everything was delicious and well done. The only two things I wasn't as impressed with was firstly the price. In comparison to places like the Rodizio, Braza, and Tucanos Brazilian grills found in Utah, Bundys rates the highest price at around $49 per person with the Braza grill just behind it at around $42 for dinner. We felt the hot section/salad bar was very clean but lacking for options for the price. We usually like to have sides with our meats, but only ended up with some fruit and maybe one other dish from the salad bar table. It was a bit underwhelming considering it's the highest priced grill we've been to in Utah. The quality was just fine, but perhaps some adjustments need to be made to properly complement the high priced. Over all very good experience for a new place in the area. Just a little bit pricey.

Both of us tried shrimp, chicken and red meat...everything was just ok. Just a little disappointed that's all.

My sweet daughter got my hubs a gift card for his past bday, so it was another added reason for our pit stop. Despite staying 45ish mins away in Cedar City, our fam made the mini trek to St. George after a long day of fun in the snow. This popular Texas-themed steakhouse chain location is conveniently located right off the 15 freeway. Parking was plenty. Yelp PRO TIP: Do join the website's waitlist, as dinner time can get pretty crowded & they don't do rezos. We joined prior to leaving our hotel in Cedar City. The wait said 35-45 mins, which was perfect because we got there in about that time. Upon check-in, we only had to wait about another 10 mins, before being seated. The restaurant decor is something you would have to see for yourself. Lol It's designed to mimic rowdy roadhouses of the past, with vibes of part dive bar, part restaurant, but all rustic charm. Jake, our server was very friendly and attentive. He did forget our bread refill request a few times, but the place was pretty packed, so I'm sure he had a lot of tables to wait on. He did take good care of us, nonetheless. The hype about the warm, fresh-baked, sweet, and fluffy rolls served w/ their signature honey cinnamon butter was for reals cuz we couldn't stop eating it! The whole fam devoured them & we kept asking for more!!! A total better version of Lucille's bread & butter, for sure. We got the Cactus Blossom starter, which was super good. Think onion rings but with a blossom aesthetic instead. It wasn't oily at all & super crispy. The Cajun dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. Next up, since the portions are pretty epic & plentiful, my daughter and I shared a 16 oz hand cut sirloin (medium rare of course..cuz obvi that's the only way to eat steak), topped w/ sautéed mushrooms & onions and loaded sweet potato & buttered corn sides. My hubs & son each got a sirloin & grilled shrimp combo (both med rare) topped w/ sautéed mushrooms and buttered corn & mashed potatoes sides (for my big eater son) & Texas red chili & salad (for the hubs). Everyone loved their food. The steak was cooked perfectly, IMO. The shrimp was a good size & flavorful. The corn was buttery & sweet. And my loaded sweet potato reminded me of Thanksgiving. I just had to remove the massive pile of marshmallows bc it got too sweet for me, but the sweet potato was perfect w/ the butter and cinnamony/caramel flavor. To wash everything down, I ordered the strawberry cucumber fizz mocktail which was super refreshing and yummy. All in all, a GREAT experience and a fam fav. We will surely be back every year on our snow road ventures. RxFoodie recommended!!!
