This is my new favorite restaurant in the world. Not only were the flavor profiles of every dish off the chart, but so was the service. From the care and attention given by the host, Ruddy, who seated us, to the excellent customer service of...Read More

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service. Started with a great cocktail. Then I had the beef tenderloin, so did my friend (but with cilantro). The brussel sprouts were a great appetizer too. For my birthday, we topped it off with a Pavlova that was scrumptious.

Simply a party in your mouth. An amazing mix of flavors. Service was off with slow water service, a missed salad course and somewhat slow service in general. But the menu is worth it. The Etch gin and house made tonic was like none...Read More

Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I think the lamb was a little over-encumbered, you didn't entirely get that beautiful lamb flavor but it was still very good. The brussel sprouts are amazing. There's a reason everyone recommends them. They are perfect. The steak and the chicken were...Read More

Etch is hands down one of the best restaurants we found in downtown Nashville. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. The modern yet comfortable dining room made it perfect for a special occasion — we...Read More

Don’t be fooled by the simple dish names— these plates are the exact opposite. Everything on the menu is so creative! The crispy potato was incredible, by far the best potato salad I’ve ever had. The pan-seared scallops was my favorite dish of the night,...Read More

Food was really beautiful. Creative, tasty, came out fast. Also enjoyed the counter stool being able to see the open kitchen at work. Best Old Fashioned in town so far! Friendly service and nice atmosphere. A bit dark at the regular tables.

The food and drinks at Etch, as a vegetarian, was magnificent! And those who ate meat/ fish, nearly licked their plates and utensils. The arrangement of the seats and table, the birthday card signed by everyone, the ambiance was spectacular, and comfortable especially for 12...Read More

Very delicious and nice atmosphere with great service. Had the Argentinian beef entree and it's very good. The chef cooked the beef chunks perfectly and the potatoe was delicious and crispy. I regret not having more room in my stomach to eat two of these...Read More

Dinner$50–100Atmosphere: 5Moderate noise2 people, 3-4 peopleNot sureOur waitress first thing asked about dietary restrictions and allergies and I feel confident the kitchen would accommodate.Location is downtown so most parking is paid and a little expensive, there may be free options, but they are limited.While you could take a child here, this is probably not the best restaurant for kids. It’s a little more upscale and does not offer a kids menu to my knowledge.
