Loved it! Went for parents weekend and it was perfect for great food, great vibe, great cocktails and awesome service. The sourdough was amazing. Try the rabbit rolls too. Near Broadway but on a quieter side street. Hope to go again!

We are so lucky to have dined with Bastion for a fourth time in four years! It was perfect in every way, from the music to the service to every single bite.

First time dining at Firebirds and we definitely plan to return. The service was friendly and prompt, the cocktails were tasty and our meals were delicious. The filet mignon, salmon, and shrimp were all cooked to perfection; tender and savory. I really liked the ancient grains. And do not skip dessert! We tried the lemon layer cake and creme brulee cheesecake. So good!

    What an absolutely standout experience. Chad, Savannah, and the two other servers that checked on us throughout the meal were outstanding. Chad did an amazing job guiding us through the menu and had stellar suggestions. I got the Hokkaido seared scallops and by golly, legitimately the best dish I have had the pleasure of eating. This was my first time being in Nashville and I can solidly say I shall be back. Stunning atmosphere and service that is Michelin quality without feeling pretentious or stuffy. Thank you to all the staff and the chefs that are obviously masters of their craft.
