Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tiffani Ortiz & Andy Doubrava

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened 2011, Strategic Hospitality’s flagship tasting restaurant kicked off a new era of fine dining in Nashville. In addition to racking up accolades from GQ and Bon Appétit, Catbird Seat has been an incubator for some of the city’s top chefs. Today, Tiffani Ortiz and Andy Doubrava command the open, counter-style kitchen, turning out innovative New American tasting menus that can stretch to 18 courses of dishes like a walnut cookie filled with chicken liver mousse and berry preserves.

    Catbird Seat is such a unique experience. This was our second time back (now at their new location) and it was just as great as the first. This place deserves a Michelin star status.

    I’ve done many tastings but this one was our favorite. We have already rebooked another visit. Great staff. Comfortable environment. So many little extras like the tea, and the petite tasting. The food was outstanding, we couldn’t even pick a fav. Well balanced and flavorful. Special and refined. Masterclass in fine dining.
