    Went for a business lunch. Service was outstanding, very interesting menu with something for everyone, and price was shockingly low for the quality of food. Definitely will 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.

    This is a quality, fine dining experience that one might miss since hotel restaurants tend to be more casual. Once we arrived at the Curio Hilton property- we didn’t want to leave and knew the 1799 kitchen would be high quality. We were not disappointed.

    Dark, warm setting upstairs. Late table seating but still very lively. Filet and Veal dishes were superb with highly attentive service. One of the best old fashions, delivered by bartender himself, I’ve had in TN. Desserts were good, not exceptional, but entrees and side were the focal point. Great French press coffee too.

    Excellent local restaurant in downtown Franklin. Styled as a more classic Italian restauant that you may eat in NYC. Liked their menu. Pricing is certainly more reasonable than other restaurants in Franklin. As far as food, my veal was chewy. But the salad and bread were good. Alcohol prices were very reasonable.
