Since it opening in 2006, Red Pony Restaurant has impressed guests by staying true to a mission focused on cuisine and service.
Chef owned and operated, Red Pony changes its menu about six times a year with the intention of keeping ingredients the season’s freshest and the variety of dishes dynamic.
While a great deal of the menu pays homage to the Sophisticated Southern foods Chef Jason McConnell grew up on, you will also see a reflection of his travels, that drive his creativity.
It is our belief that food is something to be celebrated. We also believe that experience is a huge part of dining. Whether it be enjoying a crafted cocktail at one of our bars or enjoying dinner at the table, we want each guest to be seamlessly guided through their time at Red Pony Restaurant.
We love our community and we love food.

    Just dined at Red Pony last night, and it was awesome. It was a little loud, but we were seated close to the bar, and my hearing is a problem wherever we go, so it wasn't unusual. Our server was super attentive, very knowledgeable, and exceedingly polite. I've got to say something about the hog belly Brussels appetizer. It was the most wonderful menu item ever! We will be back often if for no other reason but that. So good!

    We went to Red Pony on a girl’s trip and found the food incredibly flavorful - some of the best we have ever had. Our server was not only handsome, but perfectly attentive and friendly. The ambiance was beautifully dark, mysterious and quiet. We highly recommend and will be back!

    An atmospheric restaurant with superb cocktail bar and a selection of skillfully prepared well match ingredients. All served by a young but obviously well trained staff. Flavours and pairings we're off the scale. Short Rib of Buffalo was truly amazing. Thank you to all of the team for giving us top service. A memory we will carry back with us to Scotland. Hoping to return.

    Way too expensive for walking away saying the food was ok. $180 for 2 meals and 2 glasses of wine. The special ended up being $15 more than what the waiter told us.

    This was our first time eating at Red Pony and it was fabulous! The food was sensational beginning with the appetizer all the way through desert! The service was the highest level as well. Rocky, our waiter was definitely one of the best, if not the best, waiter we have ever had! Definitely a 5-star experience!!!

    The food was tasty, their service was very good, and prices too high. Being 6' tall and weighing 160 pounds, I found it disappointing that I was still hungry and made myself a sandwich when I got home. I had the shrimp and grits and was told "the prepared shrimp is then placed on a double serving of our grits". I suspect a single serving would be undetectable. If you want flavor, this is a good place. If you want enough to eat, maybe not.
