Etch: A Culinary Masterpiece in Every Detail! Etch is not just a restaurant, it's a culinary symphony! Award-winning Chef Deb Paquette has crafted a menu that is both globally inspired and exquisitely executed. The bright flavors and layered dishes are a testament to her creative genius, and each bite is a revelation. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with a sophisticated and upscale vibe that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The decor is elegant and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. The wine list is extensive, boasting over 80 carefully curated choices to complement the menu. You'll also find a selection of high-gravity local beers and hand-crafted signature cocktails, each one a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and creativity. But the true highlight for me is the dessert menu. Pastry Chef Megan Williams is a true artist, creating a rotating selection of seasonal sweets that are simply divine. The house-made ice creams and artfully plated desserts are a symphony of textures and flavors, leaving you wanting more. If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and elevates the spirit, look no further than Etch. It's a place where you can indulge in the finest food and drink, surrounded by a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. I can't wait to go back and try more of Chef Paquette's culinary masterpieces!

Our waitress Sandra was amazing! She made this birthday celebration great. Her service was wonderful. The kitchen was extremely slow and the bar service was slow too. The restaurant tried to pack a lot of different things into their dishes which is great, but maybe a simpler approach would be better. For the price of the entrees, I think the portion size was ok, especially because it is in downtown Nashville. The atmosphere was very nice with a great street view. The noise level was a little loud and at times it was a struggle to have a conversation. The complementary valet parking is a nice feature. Overall, it's a good place for a special occasion.

Great service! We loved the vegetarian plate. The arancini balls were good. Scallops good but too heavily salted for me and needed acid. We really loved the ambiance. Wonderful gem of a spot in Nashville.

Was an absolutely amazing experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is having a special occasion. The food was made absolutely perfect. The service was amazing. It's quiet, beautiful, elegant. I can't wait to come back.

Food was excellent and creative. Service was top-notch. We split the roasted cauliflower appetizer. I had the seared halibut special and my husband had the venison. They were both excellent. The fried brussel sprouts were to die for. We could not stop eating them. We finished with the rhubarb almond tart with a Sauternes.

Etch is the perfect place for a mid-week power lunch. I sat at the bar but they have plenty of tables and even have private rooms for groups/work events. The food was extremely good too - started with the tempura mushrooms, cooked perfectly. They come with an addictingly good ponzu sake sauce. Then followed with the spanish beef tenderloin. Perfect medium rare and come with manchego mashed potato on the side - delicious and a generous portion for the price.

I visited Tennessee a couple weeks ago and was blown away by this place. I came across it by mistake but wow. The service was incredible, the whole staff was so attentive to my shrimp allergy. And the dishes were each a little surprise of flavor. I wish I remembered the name of my server he was incredible as well. And hands down the best cocktail I had in a while. It was citrusy and so fresh.

My wife and I visited Etch during our trip to Nashville based on a friend's recommendation. It was a great experience. We were greeted and sat by a very charming hostess. We sat at the counter so we could look into the kitchen and it was an excellent experience. It was a beehive of activity. Our server was super attentive and fun. You will not be disappointed with the food and drink. I had an excellent old fashioned and my wife had a gin based cocktail with citrus that was also excellent. The food was very tasty. The Brussels sprouts were a great way to start. We both had the mahi mahi fish special. It was prepared well and was very flavorful. The sauce was fabulous and complemented the fish well. Make reservations as it gets BUSY!

When I say that this is the best meal I have had this year, I don't say that lightly. THIS place is hands down the best meal I've had and it is for 2 reasons. First, I've had a lot of seared scallops in my day and these are by far the buttery gods that top them all. Period. End of sentence. Not sure what they did but this is the one. Second, the special menu pork schnitzel with parsnip purée is A GEM. I think it was a daily special but I pray to GOD that they make it part of the normal menu because I would choose this as my death row meal. Cocktails were solid, chef's table experience was excellent, bread was lovely. Etch has truly left a mark on me and I hope they continue their crusade of superb dining!

Brooke our server was amazing and so attentive to our every need, which is so rare in this day and time. She was a absolute joy; her recommendations were right on point. Our cauliflower appetizer was the best I have ever eaten! We split the fillet and it came out on two plates without a surcharge!! Amazing right? Our drinks were perfect; a cosmopolitan and lemon drop martini! The atmosphere was dim and sexy which I adore! Thank you for a wonderful evening; we can't wait to come back.
