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.

    Amazing as usual. With so many good restaurants to choose from in Nashville sometimes it can be hard to make a decision but Etch never disappoints!

    We had such a great experience at etch! The filet mignon was excellent. They’re very mindful of dietary restrictions, which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely go back.

    The service and ambiance were wonderful! It was our daughter’s birthday and the staff signed a card that was waiting on the table when we arrived.

    Etch has to be my wife and I’s absolute FAVORITE food spot in Nashville. Always an incredible experience with the best meals, easy. Our waitress, Sandra, was perfectly attentive and gave us plenty of time, space to enjoy while always being available to provide information and recommendations when asked. She was great. The entrees were second to none. I did the “from the sea” special, it was the Salmon. It was insanely good, incredible flavors and perfect pairings. My wife got the Filet Mignon and was raving about the meat and potatoes. We started with the Smoked Carpaccio which might be our favorite dish in Nashville. Such a good app. 10/10 experience, always.

    Etch is one of the restaurants that I go to before the symphony and have done so for years. Last night the thought came to me that I have NEVER been disappointed either by the food or the service. The menu has both new dishes and old favorites. all of which are first class.
