Review of Painted Pony

We went on Valentine's Day which can be a challenge at many restaurants. The waitress knew us from previous visits and came to the table knowing that the specials could all be adapted for gluten free. For instance, they don't have a dedicated fryer, so she asked about leaving a fried item off one of the dishes. The chef took the time to think about how to substitute elements to make the altered dishes still look gorgeous and add texture and flavor back. I had the scallops (special) as a starter, the beetroot salad, the sea bass (special), and baked Alaska. All were beautifully presented. The specials should be in the regular menu as they were wonderful. (My dining companion's regular version of both he described as "excellent".)
