From the opening Bijou cocktail, to the ceviche with grilled avocado to a properly cooked Pittsburgh Strip, to an amazing waitress who "loosened" our first glass of wine and then poured every subsequent glass, and ending with excellent creme brulee and a divine gluten free coconut cake: an absolutely delectable dining experience without one atom if starch in it's collar.

I had made reservations for this past weekend for my wife and I to the Red Pony. We were seated promptly upon arrival in the upstairs dining section of the restaurant. We both ordered cocktails from the decent sized list and both of us were pleased with our choices. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with... More

Enjoyed a great supper at Red Pony while visiting the Nashville area. The restaurant is located on a quaint main street in the middle of town. Parking can be found along the side streets. Our table was positioned against a large window looking in on the kitchen where the novelty of watching staff in action was interesting. Because it was... More

We went here for our anniversary in July 2012. The atmosphere was romantic - small and dimly lit. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had a watermelon, banana pepper salad at the waiter's recommendation. It sounded like a bad combo, but it was the best salad I've ever had.

Great place. I would go back again. So convenient to the Franklin Theater. Great choices with lots of variety of food. We ate upstairs outside on the balcony. It was a nice evening.

If you want to treat yourself to a delicious meal, go to Red Pony, where the quality of food is outstanding, the staff is always professional. The atmosphere is cozy - somewhat romantic, and perfect for any occasion. We recommend trying to get a seat upstairs where you get a little more elbow room and the atmosphere is more intimate.
