We have been to Red Pony several times and it never disappoints! The service and staff are great each time! They are always updating the menu to include new items. Taste and presentation are both on point as usual. There are several options in Franklin and this one is always at the top of my list!

The bolognese has gone downhill. They have increased the size of the pasta noodles and decreased the amount of meat and sauce. It used to be my favorite dish. I had to really hunt for any pieces of meat.
