The menu has changed since we last dined, and we like the changes. If you are a fan of Fried Green Tomatoes, try them! The Kale Apple and Freddie salads are excellent.

Our server, Lisa G, was absolutely outstanding. Professional, helpful with menu selections, friendly and cheery made the evening a great outing. The food as usual was outstanding. We shared the pate appetizer which was a combination of wonderful flavors and had the venison and the salmon which were terrific. A Pavlova (great) and espresso closed a great evening. This is why (deliciously innovative dishes and great service) we return to Etch. over and over. Kudos to the team and highly recommended.

Wayne was very friendly and attentive. He had a great sense is humor, too. The food was good home cooking. Nothing fancy - eggs, bacon, grits, but all well done. This was our second visit and we would definitely return.

Staff was warm and friendly. The food was innovative and approachable at the same time. The space is unique and the open kitchen is fun to watch. I may have dimmed the lights slightly and put on a little music, but otherwise, the room was lovely. Would definitely return. Probably many times. Don't skip the house-aged ham or the Solomon cocktail.
