"Price: $185-$245 Cantaloupe kimchi, sea urchin in wild rose custard, and foie gras donuts. Those are a few of the dishes we’ve tried at this Nashville restaurant, and we will, most likely, never eat them again. Unlike the other spots on this list, The Catbird Seat is an incubator. Chefs rotate every few years, and the menu changes daily, so expect the unexpected and arrive with an open mind. You’ll sit at a 22-seat, U-shaped counter in a small room that looks like a fancy test kitchen, and receive around 12 courses of genre-bending food. We’re talking beef and tuna in a watermelon dashi, lobster ceviche with fermented guava salsa, and scallop and salsify with a little dollop of caviar. Keep in mind, The Catbird Seat is about to move to a new home in a swanky new building, so pricing may change." - bryan kim, team infatuation
