Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deb Paquette

From the OpenTable editors: Pioneering chef Deb Paquette’s bold, globally inspired menu takes center stage at this critical darling in downtown Nashville. Grab a spot at the lively chef’s counter for a front-row seat to the open kitchen, where Paquette turns out artfully plated dishes like pan-seared scallops with Thai lemongrass curry paired with stellar, Wine Spectator-awarded wines. No meal here is complete without one of pastry chef Megan Williams’s knockout desserts.

    From the time we entered, we felt relaxed and taken care of. The dining room was intimate and the tables were spread apart nicely. Everything we ate was delicious-bruschetta, Etch salad, filet, and venison (my husband). The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They knew we weee attending a show at Bridgestone, so they paced appropriately. The price is a little higher ($50 for a filet), but we never felt anyone was trying to upscale us. I highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.

    Unfortunately this was the night of the CMA’s and there were huge groups to serve. The caesar salad was really good. The beet salad was probably the worst i have ever had. A couple of raspberries, a couple of beets and a bunch of arugula and candied pecans. Seemed like something i would put together from a store bought bag. Only ate the beets. Ordered the octopus/shrimp bruchetta…just ok, Ordered the pork rib eye. Came barely cooked. The manager took it off our bill. The chicken was just ok. The special of the night was the salmon which was really good salmon. Overall very disappointed.

    Food was good but as a vegetarian there weren’t many options. I ended up just getting a side salad and a side dish. My husband said the pork sirloin was very good with great flavor. The best part of the dinner was our excellent server, Brenna. She was friendly, polite and professional.

    The venison was disappointing last night; dry and flavorless.
