May be the best restaurant in Nashville. It’s not for everyone as you will try unique foods and flavors, but if you are a foodie, the restaurant at Bastion is a must-try. The restaurant is intimate, the chefs work beautifully and interact with you about the food, and the food is a creative tasting menu developed with precision and care. They know where every ingredient is sourced and the cooking methods sometimes take days or prep. They are also wizards with the drink pairings, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. A standout date night experience! There’s parking in the lot across the street and they validate it at the restaurant. I personally enjoyed sitting at the bar where you can see the kitchen. Would highly recommend getting a reservation.

Came here for my anniversary with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time! the food was so good and the service was impeccable. We were most surprised by the veggie course, since I typically just eat a ton of meat, but this frisee salad was fire. Like normally frisee is just a garnish, but this salad was so good i felt i needed this recipe! The duck breast and Fish (forgot name) was hella good too, their titles on the menu are a total set up! It literally said duck, potato, parsley, but when they serve it to you, it is like an explosion of flavor and texture, they totally underpromised and over delivered on every course! Will def come back!

We had an incredible time. The food and drinks were creative and innovative, but approachable and fun to eat. We loved talking with our chefs, who were very friendly and eager to answer questions and chat about food. We're big fans of tasting menus and we've tried many of the ones in town—this was one of our best experiences. The restaurant hit a sweet spot of delicious and innovative food and drinks in a completely unpretentious atmosphere. We'll be back!

Oh my gosh! This is an amazing dining experience! It is pricy but well worth it. Had the wine tasting with the meal. Chefs kiss 💋. Paired very well.

A perfect dining experience. Excellent food to taste and look at! Each course served by the chef that made it with, if desired, a full explanation of ingredients and preparation. Wine pairing was spot on perfect. 24 guests at a time create a unique environment. Spectacular service. Five stars and they deserve a Michelin star too.

It’s at once a curated experience and yet a relaxed vibe. Sitting at the bar and watching the dishes being prepared with care and precision, then tasting each course with a perfectly paired wine is what pampering is all about. You get what they cook, and let me tell you that your taste buds are in good hands. Only the price, though well worth the experience, would keep me from going back every time the chefs flip the menu.

Bastion’s is one of the finest places we have ever eaten. Each dish is extremely creative and combines so many different flavors. We have eaten at many fine restaurants, but this is by far the best place in Nashville we have ever experienced. The chefs preparing the food go out of their way to tell you about each dish and the wine pairing is highly recommended. We had high expectations going in, but by far every expectation was exceeded. Highly, highly recommend. Worth every dollar you spend.

This might be the coolest bar I’ve been to since Covid. Nachos were fire and the drinks amazing

Such a great experience!!! My friend and I made dinner reservations. The whole menu (attached in the pictures) was delicious, tastes, presentation, textures and portions. We were seating by the prep section, so we were able to watch the chefs decorating/putting plates together. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly.
