Neighbourhood gem

etch is a globally-inspired restaurant by award-winning chef Deb Paquette. The original location opened its doors in 2012 in lively downtown Nashville; the second location opened in fall of 2024 in The Factory at Franklin. The modern restaurant houses two private dining rooms, a full bar, and a chef’s bar, giving guests a look into the restaurants' culinary prowess.

etch’s eclectic menu incorporates innovative dishes inspired by Deb and Executive Chef Jess Lambert's favorite regions of the world to leave a lasting impression, or etch, on every diner. A wine list with over 80 choices is available, along with high-gravity local beers and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

Desserts are prepared in-house by Pastry Chef Megan Williams, whose creations top the list for the city’s sweet confections. House-made ice creams and artfully plated desserts change seasonally, providing a revolving array of treats that will keep you coming back for more.

The pork rib entre was flavorful and tender in a beautiful presentation. Don't miss the homemade ice creams and sorbets. The burnt honey was creamy and delicious.

Food was excellent. When my companion ordered the wasabi salmon, our server warned us that some people hadn’t liked it because the wasabi wasn’t strong, but she had it anyway. And it was incredibly delicious. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

My mom specifically asked for “over done salmon, no rareness please” and it was still raw. The bun to my burger was stale and took a while to bring back my same burger with a new bun, so fries were hard and cold. Not worth it. Bummer, was excited

We wanted a special experience to celebrate our son's engagement. Etch delivered with excellent service and delicious food. I really can't think of a negative comment. It is not an inexpensive restaurant, but you will have a memorable meal.

We always enjoy eating at the Chefs Table / Counter in both Etch restaurants. Yesterday we were there at a very slow time (3:45pm) so we were able to chat with several staff members. They are always so friendly. I’d been wanting to try the hamburger on the mid-day menu - one reason we were there at 3:45. It did not disappoint! The fries were done perfectly. The brownie ice cream made the end of our meal very satisfying.
