This evening is opening night for
The Catbird Seat, the intimate, unique and wildly ambitious project from Benjamin and Max Goldberg of Strategic Hospitality. Just 32 patrons belly up to a U-shaped counter wrapped around a compact kitchen where two chefs with primo resumes, Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson, will hold court, serving seven courses directly to the diners.
Menu items blossom from the chefs' creative whims, and there's a fixed tab of $100 plus tax and gratuity. They'll also whip up liquid pairings for each course for an additional $30.
It's so intriguing I wrote about it in the Scene's Innovations issue earlier this year. And it might very well be the the most ambitious and splashy restaurant ever to launch in Nashville. (To add to the splash, the chefs get to wear custom chefs' coats designed by Manuel.)
Bites is dying of curiosity, but we didn't snag reservations yet. So we're asking you, Bites Nation. If anybody goes tonight, feel free to share afterward in the comments.
After the jump, you can read the opening night press release.
