My husband and I dined at The Catbird Seat in early November 2025 – just a short week after they were awarded a Michelin star! We had been planning on coming here to celebrate a special occasion so we were delighted by the news of the star.
Our experience was really exceptional. The service was outstanding and the staff takes special care to interact with you at different moments and coursings throughout the evening. This gave us a chance to get to know everyone a bit and ask questions – all of this gave us unique perspectives on the food and beverages we were trying.
The food was of course very lovely. I believe we had 13 courses start to finish. Although the dishes are petite, I did find it a bit difficult to get through them all. Just keep this in mind if you are dining and have any consumption restrictions!
The whole experience of the staff cooking and prepping directly in front of us felt very intimate and interesting. The vibes were great with old school hip hop playing in the background while we watched the meticulous preparation of bites in front of us. We spent about $600 total including beverages (not the recommended pairings – just à la carte).

A full service, prix fixe at the bar dining experience nearly worthy of Michelin mention. Every course was innovative, full of flavors and textures. There is a full bar and extensive wine list. The only negative was a positive; keeping the food prep area clean is essential, but spraying the counter near open ingredient containers leads to contamination.

If you are searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary in Nashville, this restaurant should be at the very top of your list. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with an elegant yet understated atmosphere—modern design softened with warm lighting and impeccable attention to detail.
The service is nothing short of world-class: attentive without being intrusive, with staff who are not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about food and wine pairings. Every course feels like a carefully composed piece of art.
The flavors are layered, balanced, and surprising—each dish tells a story. Ingredients are clearly sourced with the highest standards, and the chef’s creativity shines through in every bite. From delicate starters to beautifully plated mains and desserts that rival fine patisserie, the consistency of excellence is remarkable.
Yes, the price is high, but it reflects the caliber of the experience. This isn’t just a dinner—it’s an immersion into culinary craftsmanship that could easily stand alongside Michelin-starred establishments in larger cities. Nashville has many great restaurants, but this one feels like it is on the verge of setting a new standard for fine dining in the city.

My best friend, my sister from another mother, and I had the pleasure of dining in a beautiful establishment to celebrate a birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! It felt like everything you would expect from a Michelin-star restaurant. The food was prepared to absolute perfection in my humble opinion, and the wine pairing complemented it beautifully—it was just as exquisite. The evening was elegant, the atmosphere enchanting, and every bite was delicious. It wasn’t just a meal, it was an experience that left us both grateful and excited to return.

How do they do it?!
Personalities of the staff made for immaculate conversations.
Atmosphere? Smells good, looks good, feels good, SOUNDS good. Playlist was banger after banger and I think we may have annoyed others with our excitement
Walked in hating mushrooms, beets, and seafood. Walked out with new tastes and new perspectives. Every course was the opposite of my expectations in the best way.
Thank you for making our 7th dating anniversary so special.

Not enough stars, the chefs are artists with food. It’s a work of art, don’t want to eat it. Farm to table, with the freshest ingredients. I recommend this place and make reservations. Also pair it with the wine menu or not they have cocktails. The wine steward was so sweet, showed each bottle and region it is from. Each dish is explained by the chef. This is the top three of my tasting menu experiences. I can’t say enough about the people or the experience you just have to take my word.

I honestly was SO incredibly nervous as I’m such a picky eater. My husband loves trying new food and I definitely do not. I kid you not; this is the BEST restaurant I’ve ever been to. To preface, my dad is a chef and my mom is also in food service. I’ve worked in kitchens before. But this? Elite. Once again, I’m so picky. I don’t eat seafood. I don’t eat mushrooms. I don’t try new things. This place changed my whole outlook. I didn’t have one thing here I didn’t like. I was also nervous I’d have to stop at Taco Bell on the way home because I’d be hungry. Nah, I was stuffed before even dessert came out. We only got Brett’s name, but every. single. person from hostess to chef absolutely killed it. I would 110% go back here. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Everything was so clean and tasty. Just blown away. You guys killed it.

Truly a spectacular experience. Enjoyed the early seating and had many amazing bites. It does get a little loud to hear the full description of the dish but who cares. The care and skill put into each course is transparent and the meal is worth it. The wine and NA pairings are a must.

With almost $600 for 2 people, i expect way more for tonight!
My husband has shellfish allergy but all his substitutes were “vegetables” .
I personally don’t feel like chef was trying to put much effort to accommodate shellfish allergy customers at all.
We feel like they don’t respect our money.
Even after my husband tried to ask if they could substitute with other types of meat.
The answer was “that’s how we do it”
With almost a month we made a reservation and chose our special day to celebrate. (Before valentine)
We’re really disappointed ☹️
Not to mention that after the whole experience we only have 1 tiny main course (pork was very chewy) that left us still hungry.
The Indian chef was (perhaps) care enough to ask me how was it. After i gave him my honest answer that it’s too tough for me. Then they just did nothing and ignored all of our opinions.
I have no idea what’s wrong with everything tonight but it was definitely not worth our money.
We’ll never go back and would never recommend this place for our friends.
