Parking is a mess for dinner on a late Friday night but it was worth the hassle. We parked on the streets in the neighborhoods and got a drink at the bar before our reservation. The drinks were great and the space is nice! The food was DELICIOUS. I would 100% recommend starting with the fry bread with pepperoni butter. That is a must have and the Japanese sweet potatoes are hands down the best sweet potatoes I’ve ever had. The Duck + fig plate I had was delicious and I’m glad I have leftovers. The Vegan Goods were good but nothing to die over. And finally the matcha crème Brûlée was good!

Came in last night for a birthday dinner and sat at the bar. Kayla (sp?) was behind the bar and ensured our evening was amazing. We had food allergies in our party and she worked with the chefs to ensure we knew what we could order as is, what we could order with accommodations, and what we needed to steer clear. The meal, cocktails, and service were all wonderful.
We had the fry bread (with $4 refills, what?!?!) the grilled gulf cobia and the duck poblano and topped it off with their blackberry beignets. All dishes were executed perfectly.
Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing food with fantastic service. It is a cute little place but could be a bit more upscale to match the food quality. The drinks at the bar were really great and can’t say enough about the food. Would go back any time. I was annoyed at the separate charge for Health Care for Employees. I 100% think it is amazing to provide health care for the employees & others should follow suit, but include that in your prices & shout it from the rooftops that you provide it. I just felt the separate line item was a tacky way to do that.

Overall it’s a recommend. Starting with the location, it’s fine. The atmosphere is pretty much what I’d expect for chef owned. Starters were crazy good, dinner was very good and dessert was good. I did have the chips/chocolate and the people in our group that got the banana 4x crushed it, so there’s that. The drinks were absolutely perfect.

If I could give this place a 4.5, I would. This establishment is a good showing in East ATL. The ambience is upbeat but not too loud so that you can easily have a conversation. Our waiter was very gracious. Parking was easy to find. The concept of a seasonal menu allows Bashee to present fresh ingredients. This is what I loved most about the restaurant. Everything was seasoned well. The raw elements were my favorite part of the meal, including the summer tomatoes and ceviche. The steak was well-balanced and paired well with the vegetables. The squash raclette didn’t hit the mark, though.
Overall, I would come back to try the evolving menu.

Good food and a great location but it’s a solid challenge to park. The restaurant feels a bit disjointed if you’re in the room with the bar, which can be very loud and make it impossible to hear your companions. In fact, I’d rather go here for the bar instead of the restaurant because it matches the vibe better. The service is exemplary. Overall it’s a good but not great experience. For the cost of the meal I want to be able to park easily and hear my companion.

I can understand why this restaurant has a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The quality of the food and drinks were amazing. The duck pasta was delicious and don’t skip the fry bread with pepperoni butter. Tbe service was also great. Our waiter was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately I can’t recall his name after such good drinks, but he had a ponytail and glasses and gave great recommendations. I will definitely be back as Banshee has quickly become somewhere that I want to live!

Service was great. Everyone was super friendly. Of course the pepperoni butter was really good. We had some ceviche, elote, and a branzino which I give a 4/5. No wow factor but they were tasty. And the banana dessert was good as well. I thought the prices were fair.
I might come back with friends since it’s a place where you can be loud.
