The Catbird Seat: A Culinary Adventure in Nashville

This is my fiancé’s favorite restaurant (and one of mine too) - Chef Baxter and his crew are absolutely amazing - exquisite, innovative and always hits the mark. Better take advantage of this crew before Aug 17!

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.

The food here is absolutely incredible! The ambiance is fabulous! Then getting to watch every step of them preparing your food and create the pure edible art work they make on your plate is spectacular. I would go back to Nashville just to eat here. The symphony of flavors on the plates and the progression of flavor throughout the evening is extremely well thought out and creates absolute perfection. I highly recommend The Catbird Seat. It's better than Michelin Star restaurants I've been to in the past. Incredibly wonderful food!

This is my first visit in the new building. The esthetic is beautiful. Nice and bright, but still intimate. I've dined at CBS 4 times and each time has been memorable. Service is always top tier. Libations are done exceptionally well. The Chefs and cooks were personable and clear in the descriptions of the dishes. I had a great time and I look forward to returning!

We went to The Catbird Seat for our anniversary, and wow—I woke up still thinking about it. Every dish was so thoughtful and inventive, with incredible attention to sourcing and using every part of each ingredient in the most creative ways. You can truly feel the passion behind every bite. They made special accommodations for me as a pescatarian, and every dish was just as delicious as my partner’s—I really appreciate that level of thoughtfulness. It was an honor to eat there, and we’re already dreaming about going back. A huge thank you to Chef Matt and the entire team—Other Chef Matt, Chef Erica, and Head Chefs Tiffani and Andy—everyone was so thoughtful and absolutely at the top of their game. Thank you for making our night so special!

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.

Was expecting a lot given all the glowing reviews, but was a tiny bit disappointed in the food. Great service and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Dishes were very creative and original with a lot of thought put into the creation however I found that the flavors for a couple of the dishes were unbalanced, either way too salty or too acidic. One other thing I didn't like about the menu was they had a pork dish which was served much less cooked than I'm used to. I appreciate that it is their menu but when it comes to health they should of asked a preference of doneness. I asked them to make it more cooked and they did but it was still too raw for me and my fellow diners. All in all, it fell slightly short of my expectations especially given price point they are trying to justify.
