    My husband and I made reservations at Connor’s for an early Valentine’s Day dinner, and we were truly surprised at how great everything was. My steak was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, and we both enjoyed all of the entrees and sides we ordered! The service was exceptional and it was just an overall wonderful experience. We both keep talking about how good the food was! We will definitely be back.

    Although a bit loud for a quiet, romantic dining experience, this restaurant is superb. The service was excellent, we felt appreciated being there for the first time (we even got a special treat). The menu had a decent number of plates and the portion size was good (not huge). The flavors we experienced were delightful, a very unique set of combinations. The Pork chops and the green salad, as well as the Kale Salad and Shrimp and Grits were delicious! The Cocktails we had were excellent Loving Cup and Midnight Sun were perfectly balanced with a good level of alcohol, no skimping on anything at Red Pony.
