Desert Charm, Inspired Cuisine

The menu at The Rusted Cactus provides unique dishes that capture the flavor of the season. Within the walls, the Lewis and MacKay families hope to create a dining experience with shared plates that will cultivate a love of food, friendship and new flavors.

The new owners have greatly improved this Kayenta tapas bar. They have regular hours and take reservations. The food is creative and delicious and the service is quick and friendly. The atmosphere is bright and happy, though we aren't crazy about all the highboy seating. The decor indoors is a bit cold, but the outside patio is delightful. Our only suggestion would be to provide better quality spirits and extended hours on nights when the Arts Center has a show.

We had a great dining experience at Black Sage. It’s a small and intimate restaurant with friendly and personable staff. We had the pleasure of meeting the executive chef who gave us information about the area, the restaurant, and the food. The meal was excellent!

Painted Pony

St. George

About the restaurant

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

Excellent Italian food, favoring Sicilian style. Menu weighted somewhat towards pasta but has plenty of other choices as well. Prices are reasonable by 2025 standards. Wine list is short but pretty good. Wines are priced pretty well also. Beer and wine only. Overall we enjoyed our evening.

Enjoyed lunch with a friend today. Perfect atmosphere to visit. Noise level was low however there weren’t many other diners. We were seated at a very small table when there were lots of other choices. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food options were good but the prices were a bit high for lunch. We split a French dip sandwich and each ordered a half beet salad. Both were very tasty. It’s a 45 minute drive for us but we enjoy the Kayenta area and beautiful views. The Village shops are fun to peruse as well. I definitely recommend Xetava for low key vibe and a nice change of scenery.

This is the second time we’ve eaten at Dulivia and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant and patio have a beautiful view of the local mountain range. When it’s warmer outside, the patio is perfect!
