    We stopped by JJ's Wine Bar while attending Franklin's Main Street Festival, and it was a great…read morebreak from the heat. We sat on the shaded porch, enjoyed some wine, and watched the festival crowd pass by. We shared the spinach dip and charcuterie board, which paired nicely with the wine. The self-serve dispensers were a fun feature and made it easy to try several different wines with smaller pours instead of committing to a full glass. It was a relaxed and enjoyable stop, and we would gladly return the next time we're in Franklin.

    I've only ever had a very solid, nice time at JJ's. They know who they are: old-school, laid-back,…read morereliable, and cozy. There's nothing flashy or attention-grabby about JJ's, no pomp or pretension. In a market that seems saturated with conceptually whacky cocktail and wine bars, I find the simplicity of JJ's refreshing. If it's chilly outside, JJ's invites you to tuck in from the cold and enjoy a board game. On temperate evenings, this is just the place to pull up a chair on the patio and enjoy a beveragino while you people-watch downtown Franklin's historic Main Street. And, just to cover all my bases, if it's grotesquely hot (as it so often is in TN), JJ's affords you the opportunity to drown your sweaty sorrows in a classy manner. Whatever the occasion, no matter the weather, you can count on comfort & consistency at JJ's - and that is worth every star!

    Here's a little local insider tip...if you go on a Monday, ask about the secret menu burger. It may…read moresound like "just a cheeseburger," but trust me, it's anything but ordinary. They take the leftover steaks from the weekend, grind them fresh into an incredible burger patty, and top it with a house-made sauce that has just a hint of truffle. The result is one of the best burgers I've had in Franklin! Pair it with their crispy fries, and you've got a meal that's hard to beat. Before the burger arrived, I started with an Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. I got so excited about that burger I almost forgot to mention it! It was well-balanced, perfectly made, and a great way to kick off the evening. We sat downstairs at the bar, and our bartender was outstanding. She had a great personality, was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. One piece of advice, make reservations if you can. Even on a Monday night, the restaurant was packed, which tells you everything you need to know. Whether you're looking for an excellent steak dinner or you're in on the local secret of the Monday burger, Red Pony is definitely worth a visit.

It's a bit dark inside but the decor is really nice. It was extremely loud when we first sat down but the volume improved when a large group next to us left. I like that we can see the kitchen at work from the dining area. They have a great cocktail program, I highly recommend you try some. The food was great from the start. They brought us a complimentary truffle gnocchi since it was our first time there and it was excellent. The apps were great, with the bread and butter(s) and the brisket buns standing out. Mains were well executed, with my personal favorite being my girlfriend's filet. The desserts were also great and the flavors matched the season. One of our guests had a nut allergy and they did a great job accommodating us. The server was eager to talk but never encroached on our experience. I'd love to go back next time I'm in town!

    Came here on a sweltering day for lunch with a coworker & client, who we'll call Dennis because…read morethat was his name. Culamar is drenched in natural light and decorated simply - nothing too loud or busy about the place, thus perfect for a working lunch. The menu was odd and we all struggled to understand the categories it was broken up into. Each item read as a series of arbitrarily listed ingredients. Our (half asleep, disinterested) waitress informed us the dishes were, in majority, "tapas style", a term I find exhaustingly passé. I began to dream of restaurants down the road we could have selected, but we were here and we must stay the course! I had to keep it together for Dennis. We ordered 6 dishes for the three of us to share, and you know what? They were all excellent. Really such outstanding bites. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed the beef carpaccio, the calamari was the best I've ever had (amazing tempura fry!), the Gnuddi (basically a massive gnocchi) in browned butter and crisp sage was a pillowy delight. In spite of my initial concerns -- the hiccups of a confusing menu and our less-than-energetic waitress -- we all left with pleased palates.

    We were hoping to sit on the rooftop, but unfortunately it was raining, so we ate inside. The…read morerestaurant wasn't necessarily that busy, but because the space is really tight, it definitely felt busy and a little cramped. Service was also a bit slow. The food itself was absolutely delicious. The bread was AMAZING and honestly one of the highlights. We also ordered the oysters, beef carpaccio, and duck, and everything tasted incredible. My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.
