So when Nashville restaurateurs Max and Ben Goldberg announced that they were going to open The Catbird Seat, a 20-seat chef’s table serving an innovative prix fixe tasting menu, local restaurant fans took interest. The Goldbergs already had experience pleasing the high-end fine dining crowd as owners of the tony Merchant’s Restaurant in downtown and The Patterson House, Nashville’s most popular speakeasy-style cocktail emporium. The culinary team was assembled, led by co-chefs Erik Anderson and Josh Habiger, two young guns with deep resumes that included stints at Craft, Alinea, The French Laundry and Noma.
