Since its inception in 2011, The Catbird Seat has served as a culinary incubator, giving chefs the opportunity to both explore and express their culinary creativity without boundaries. Twenty-two seats surround the interactive U-shaped kitchen where Chef Ryan Poli and his team tenaciously work to prepare a multi-course meal for guests who watch them. Chef Poli and his team are more than happy to chat with guests about dishes, techniques, and ingredients while beverage director Matthew Poli expertly pairs a variety of drinks to accompany and compliment every bite. Although the head chef, Poli refers to himself as, "one of the cooks," allowing the rest of his staff to play an equally important role in educating, charming, and entertaining the forty-four eyes that watch them each night. The tasting menu at The Catbird Seat gains inspiration from Chef Poli's extensive restaurant experience, taking diners on a culinary tour across the world. From Spain to Denmark; Southeast Asia and beyond, menu inspiration comes from a wide range of places, but comes together to form a cohesive menu. Dishes served at The Catbird Seat continually adapt and change based on the seasonality of ingredients and chef inspiration. Reservations are released 30 days in advance and can be made HERE. In an effort to keep the individual dining experience for which we strive, The Catbird Seat can only accommodate groups as large as four. For groups larger than four, please visit our Private Events page. Have other questions about dining at The Catbird Seat? You might find the answer on our 'Things to Know' page.
