Had to wait outside in a line forever.
Super LOUD annoying (heavy metal) music that got worse as the night went on. Staff are in different to whether you have questions. Food was safe and boring. Go elsewhere as plenty of great options in the area. This is all hype and fake.

We visit Catbird Seat every year for our Anniversary and it never disappoints. The food is inventive and delicious. The service is always outstanding. The new space is gorgeous. I would highly recommend it!

I will say a few things, I am not here to knock this restaurant as the experience was very good. I like the process, speed of preparation or plate arrivals. The food was fresh. Very clean, and no shortcuts, at this price point I would not expect a
My favorite restaurant in Nashville !! Been here 4 times
My favorite restaurant in Nashville !! Been here 4 times and every time is just as good if not better !! I can't believe they don't have a Michelin star !
Amazing food.
Very adventurous menu but not in a way that you don't want to eat it! The seating/experience is a 10/10. The kitchen staff explains the food perfectly. I would go here all the time if I could! Small and intimate seating, really fun creative drin
Unfortunately this has ruined all other restaurants for me.
I've had a favorite tasting menu that hasn't been beat in years... until I traveled to Nashville and came here. Initially I checked in at Patterson House waiting until my seating is open. Service is nice all throughout from waiting until t
This was the most unique dinning experience I've ever had.
The Catbird Seat is nothing less than exceptional. From the experience when you first walk in to when you finish your last course, any customer can walk away feeling satisfied and eager to come back. In each course you can taste the dedication and
Complete rock stars in the kitchen and the service is impeccable and the price is laughable a magnificent experience !!!
One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life I’ve been to a lot, which means nothing I know, but this restaurant is an unforgettable experience and for the price if you don’t go, you blow.
Absolutely incredible experience.
What a unique experience for Nashville. If you're into delicious food, prepared flawlessly, with a dining experience like no other (in the area), this is the place. Every bite was exploding with flavor that I had never experienced or imagined. T
I enjoyed the experience and people more than the food.
The food was good, I just mean it's a whole vibe to enjoy. If you are planning a trip to Nashville I would definitely recommend it. The stand-out dish to me was the photo I posted. I wish I could tell you the name because they do give you a me
Wonderful night
We had a great time. The food was delicious and something I had never seen before. Watching the food prepared in front of us amazing
Excellent Tasting Menu
Dined here during a visit to Nashville. I did not know what to expect; all I knew was that the website didn’t really give a sample menu nor did it say much about anything. My credit card was charged in full and there were a lot of restrictions on t
An Experience if the best type. Every time.
I can’t believe Michelin hasn’t taken notice of this gem. I’ve eaten here 3 times and it gets better each time. I can easily compare this to Central, Matya, and Kjolle in Lima. Anytime I make it to Nashville, I make reservations here. I especia
I loved everything about my experience dining at Catbird
I loved everything about my experience dining at Catbird Seat. It was a very intimate setting. The food was amazing! Every single course. Each dish, is prepared in front of you and served with care. It's a really sexy experience. The service was
When food meets art
An unforgettable experience involving 18 (!) delicious, carefully crafted and artistically presented courses. Flavours, textures, subtle undertones accompanied us in a 3-hour journey through Chef’s vision of this winter menu. Chef’s extraordinary

Each course is distinct with a mesh of a variety of ingredients you would never imagine coming together. I commend Chef Baxter for his expertise in curating the finest ingredients. One of the most impressive experiences. There is interaction with
The food was incredible.
Such unique combinations - highly recommend doing the wine pairing. We will be back for the next seasonal menu!!!
Best Culinary experience
I have done a number of tasting menus at high end restaurants and this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Sitting at a table watching and interacting with all the chefs including the head chef was such a great. Watching them prepare ea
This was an excellent experience.
Very artistic, creative tasting menu prepared by top-notch chefs.
Fantastic!
This is still one of the best restaurants in Nashville. The food is always amazing and so creative. The staff is fantastic. I would definitely recommend it!

We visited 7th September 2023 on one of the couple of Slow Burn (the band) special dinners. We added the curated wine (+ saki) add-ons, and though not an inexpensive option, it is well worth the adjunct to add on to a fabulous dining experience. To
Incredible experience.
The entire staff was passionate and you can feel it in the food. 100/100
This is a Nashville experience.
Not NY, Chicago, San Fran or one of the other legitimate major cities. The prices are exuberant. You can't charge $600 a couple for this type of experience and expect experienced diners to ever return. I'm certain that Green Hills and Lockeland fol
The price is worth the seat.
Food is out of this world and curated by amazing chefs. Service is attentive and on point making sure you are receiving the highest experiencing. The Catbird is the best fine dining in Nashville. You won't find this experience many other places in Na
Just a pathetic attempt at what many places do so well.
Birdsong in San Francisco is a great example of how to do this. The worst by far is the blaring crappy hard rock music that is nearly heavy metal by the end of the night. I couldn't wait to escape. Wine pairing is crap. They try and do their best b

Standing outside waiting patiently to be allowed into the building with no explanation as to why a poorly dressed and somewhat indifferent young lady brought each group in and took 1-2 minutes per group. No where to sit and no cover from the weather.

Be prepared to feel like you're entering a speak-easy: the entry door is pretty non-descript and there are no seats for waiting. The bar next door was gracious enough to allow us to wait in their foyer as it was rainy when we arrived. But at precise
A must dining experience in Nashville
Our son took us here to celebrate a few special events. The moment we walked in they made you feel very special. My son reserved the Chef’s table, which is the only table in the room. All others are sat at a U shaped bar, looking at the chef’s
Outstanding and not for everybody
Very inventive food mostly seafood oriented. A couple of misses but out of 20 courses or so no big deal. Mostly very creative Asian inspired dishes. Wine pairing, interesting wines nothing spectacular but great matches with the food. Music loud and 7

The method of entry is peculiar, to say the least, but once inside it's amazing. Chef Ryan and his crew run a tight ship.I never waited too long between course nor was i rushed. Food was inventive and delicious l, with an emphasis in delicious. Somet

My wife and I wanted somewhere very special to celebrate her 40th birthday and figured it was time to check out what all of the fuss was about. We had heard about The Catbird Seat from friends who went a few years ago and gave us a stellar review.

We've been here twice with wine pairings and loved the creative bites! We're trying to get through all the tasting menus in Nashville, and this one is a solid 10/10. The cola & peanuts cocktail is a great addition!
Special Anniversary Treat
Upscale meal prepared just for you. The perfect wine is served with each of the 12 courses and each course was introduced by the chef. Perfect meal, atmosphere and service for a very special occasion.
This place defines the art of food.
10/10 I recommend!! The experience was fabulous. The food and the service was even better. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable. The creativity and expertise that went into preparing the menu was incredible.
This is a must do! We have waited 3 years for a spot and .
...finally...so worth the wait! The attention to detail...the unique flavors...the atmosphere...yes-yes-yes! Please do the wine pairing. It so enhances the experience! Can't wait for a repeat.
Ok food but not a great experience.
I have dined at premier facilities around the world and always seek the best food experience where ever I am. This experience failed my expectations in almost every way. From the atmosphere and ambiance to the culinary delicacies I partook of, it b
Connect with users posting reservations for The Catbird Seat Nashville
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Catbird Seat Nashville. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Catbird Seat Nashville at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Catbird Seat Nashville page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Catbird Seat Nashville to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Catbird Seat Nashville!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
