"If restaurants could have astrological signs, Bastion's would be Gemini. That’s because this Wedgewood-Houston spot has two very distinct sides: a rollicking, come-as-you-are bar with nachos and punch cocktails, and a small dining room that’s serving one of the best and most well-thought-out tasting menus in Nashville. While the menu changes, you can count on a minimalist style of cooking that’s confident without being showy. The service is typical of similar fine dining places—welcoming, but not annoyingly in-your-face—but at Bastion, they sometimes even let people bring their own records and play them for the room. We also love that you can skip the tasting menu altogether and grab a stool at the bar upfront if you just want some of the city's best nachos." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
