“Nashville’s first tasting-menu-only restaurant, the Catbird Seat is a jewel box of a dining room with bar seating around an open kitchen, and chefs serving diners directly. Since its 2011 start, the chefs have changed (chefs Will Aghajanian and Liz Johnson are now in charge) but the succession of dishes is better than ever. With an artistic flare that takes into account all of the senses, the experience is clever and outside of the norm. There might be marlin belly that’s been aged in a ham barn sliced and served, to be eaten with your hands, or an orb filled with the unlikely combo of sea urchin, banana and black truffle. (Trust us, it works.) Along the way, you start to see that the dishes, utensils, music, and minimalist design are all meant to enhance the exceptional food.
