“We hope to create an approach that encourages exploration through tasting, not something pretentious.” —Chef Rob McDaniel

Located in Birmingham, Alabama, Bayonet is the second concept from James Beard Outstanding Chef semifinalist Rob McDaniel and his wife, Emily McDaniel, with Daniel Goslin as director of operations. This spirited raw bar and seafood-forward restaurant features sustainably sourced seafood, with each dish thoughtfully composed and paired with vibrant, locally inspired flavor. The name Bayonet, inspired by the edgy Spanish Bayonet plant, embodies the strength, resilience, and endurance that define the restaurant’s ethos. Situated next to the McDaniels’ acclaimed debut concept, Helen, Bayonet delivers an elevated, memorable, and characterful dining experience.
