, the fascinating upcoming restaurant above The Patterson House that will serve a seven-course chef's menu to 30 diners seated around a mini-kitchen manned by two nationally known chefs, has announced its opening night: Wednesday, Oct. 12.
In addition, the restaurateurs behind the project, Benjamin and Max Goldberg of Strategic Hospitality, have begun taking reservations for The Catbird Seat via an online reservation system, which can schedule up to 90 days in advance. That's found on the Catbird Seat website, which also includes an FAQs section that reveals the price of the seven-course meal: $100 exclusive of tax and tip. For another $30, you get beverages paired with the meal.
Meanwhile, the Goldbergs (who own Patterson House, Paradise Park Trailer Resort, Merchant's, events space Aerial and Diana's Sweet Shoppe) have been issuing unusually detailed updates via a Catbird Seat blog. (That's where I heard about the fact that Catbird chefs Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson have been issued custom chef's jackets designed by rhinestone master Manuel, which I wrote about jealously last week.) If you're intrigued by The Catbird Seat, the blog's worth checking out.
