    This place is AMAZING!! Kelsey was our server and she was incredible. I called early in the day and left a voicemail, the owner called me back immediately to make a reservation. This was perfect for our date night and we will be back very often. The food has incredible flavors and seriously was mind-blowing. A very cute, fine-dining, cottage experience. Highly, highly, recommend!

    This is MUST visit restaurant while in Santa Clara or Ivins Utah, you will not be disappointed at all! The food and service was absolutely impeccable with a small menu, but the details and flavor of every dish was precisely thought about. The restaurant itself is a cute little house on the road, a few tables for a quaint ambience, warm and cozy and Brian the severer who was also the wine Sommelier made our experience the best! He was super helpful in making sure we timed out the eating so that we could make our show after and was fun and gave great recommendations on all parts of the dinner. If you're in the area don't hesitate to stop by you WONT be disappointed.

    Seasonally inspired dishes. I love places like this! I've been coming here since they opened just a few years ago and the very best part is that the menu evolves based on what's available and of course the different seasons. Supporting their local farmers as there are many in this area, they're also located in a historic home from the 1880's that is now an adorable and very cozy restaurant. Make sure to make a reservation as this tiny home only holds a few tables. Warmer months offer al fresco dining that's shaded by large umbrellas and I love it when peaches are in season for their awesome burrata & peach salad. Colder months offer very rich dishes like their steak in juniper cream sauce. Everything here is exceptional any time of year. The staff is warm and total foodies who get excited speaking about the menu. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. If you're in this beautiful and historic area of Utah you definitely want to dine at Rylu's.

    Burger and the bratwurst! Best burger!!

    Rylu's is by far my favorite restaurant in St. George! It is located in Santa Clara, in a quaint old home. They offer a very small menu but everything on there is amazing. I love that they change the menu a few times a year based on seasonal options. They are only open for dinner, and you definitely need reservations, as there are only about six tables inside. They also have built a new patio cover on the outside so now there is more seating when the weather is good. They have recently stepped up their wine list, and offer some nice varieties. It's a great place for date night!

    We had been here for lunch several times before, but this was the first time for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a group of 4 and we started with the coconut labneh which was delicious. For entrees, we had the monkfish, chicken, and tagliatelle, all had great presentation and unique flavors. The Italian Refosco wine was not something I tried before, but I'll be looking for it when I go to Rome in a couple weeks.

    Food was exceptional!! Our server was very accommodating and recommendations were spot on. Ambiance was wonderful! Yes, it's right on Santa Clara Dr but it conversations were fine regardless.

When we arrived we waited for the host and informed him we had a 10:15 reservation. Despite there being multiple empty tables, he informed us we would not be able to be seated until closer to our reservation which threw me off. We were seated around our reservation time and given some time to look at the menu. Our server was very helpful and kept checking in on us to see if we had any questions or if we were ready to order. She did take the time to inform us that we should order before a big party as our meal would take longer if we waited. We ordered buttermilk biscuits to share and I ordered the arrival of the sun (two eggs your way, bacon or sausage, potatoes, and country bread). The buttermilk biscuits were brought to us first and were 2 large fluffy biscuits served with butter and jam. The butter was good quality and jam was made in house, but was slightly runny, but overall a delicious combo. The arrival of the sun arrived shortly after and was a large portion. The potatoes were my personal favorite, seasoned and crispy! Wood ash rye is in a hotel in downtown St. George. The hotel itself has valet parking that is $22. However, if you arrive early enough you are able to find parking on the street, just make sure you look out for any parking signs. The inside of wood ash rye is small, but they offer an outside bar, several large tables in the center, and booths off to the side. In addition, they have a bar just outside the restaurant. They did have a sign posted that dogs are welcome on the patio which is a plus! -1 star for service for reservation time and empty tables

    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 had a wide variety of drinks, wine and food, all I would rate 5 Stars as well, but when the bill came and they refused to split the bill other than evenly 3 ways. Even though I worked out how much to put on each of our cards, they refused because their policy was that they could only split the check evenly. One couple only had appetizers and split an entree and no alcohol. Their portion of the bill was only $154 while mine was $323. Forcing them to pay for my much more expensive dinner ruined the mood for all of us.
