Bastion

Contemporary American · nashville · Michelin One Star · Chef Josh Habiger

A 24-seat tasting-menu restaurant concealed behind a casual cocktail bar in Nashville's Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, Bastion is one of the city's most consistently exciting fine-dining experiences. Chef Josh Habiger presents a six-course set menu that rotates weekly, drawing on local farms — including Bear Creek Farm — and market-driven ingredients to produce bold, precise compositions that balance playfulness with technical rigor. Reservations open the first of each month for the following month; the adjacent Big Bar is open nightly to walk-ins and celebrated in its own right.
