etch - Nashville

“Best high-end meal I've enjoyed in a while. Everything was top-notch, from the food to the service. Pictured is the roasted cauliflower appetizer (signature dish) along with the chef's daily special (mahi with roasted poblano aioli and fresh corn succotash). Etch is featured in Eater's best restaurants in Nashville, and deservably so. Nicely done!”

“Our waiter, Jared, was incredible! Asked a few questions at the beginning to make sure our experience was superb. The food was perfect! We ordered the Duck Tart, the Roasted Cauliflower, the Brussel sprouts and Chef's Creation which happened to be a mahi mahi dish. I can't remember what all it had but it was amazing. Highly recommend the Duck Tart and the Brussel Sprouts! Sadly, I had no room for dessert.”

“A classy place with a nice atmosphere. 1. Cucumber Hibiscus Negroni 11 (mocktail) A not too sweet, refreshing non-alcoholic drink. Perfect. 2. Bread & Butter 6 (Parker roll) Very good. Butter is slightly sweet and goes well with salt & pepper on top of the bread. Highly recommended. 3. Etch 10 The signature salad that crowns its own name. It has accents of blue cheese, melon, and nuts. It could have been with a little less dressing but still very good and can be recommended. 4. Chef’s Creation 56 (mahi-mahi) Cooked just right to have a crispy skin. Potatoes were also made crispy outside and I couldn’t stop having more. Again it could have had a little less sauce but still it was very good. 5. Chocolate Mousse Bar (à la mode with ice cream) 13(+3) It was rather an ordinary sweet chocolate cake.”

“Good food, excellent service, and a wonderful night out. We had the salmon and the filet—both cooked perfectly to our liking, with seasoning that was nicely balanced. We also tried the scallop and octopus bruschetta. While interesting, it was a bit salty and fishy for our taste. The homemade chocolate crunch ice cream was absolutely delicious—I could have eaten more! But by then, with our wine and meal, we had more than enough for a happy and lovely evening. Jessie was our star server and took great care of us, always attentive to what we needed. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special date night or celebration. It is on the higher price side, but worth it for the experience. Happy eating!”

“A really nice restaurant with top notch service. I sat at the counter which provides a neat look into the busy kitchen. The server was friendly and attentive. She checked on me frequently. It seems like they’re aware many folks are attending shows, so they speed up the service if needed. I started with a small portion of the cauliflower. It was tasty, but not as flavorful as I imagined. The horseradish kale salad was very good. My main dish was the salmon. I’m a big salmon fan, and I thought it was presented quite well. Again, I thought it would be a bit more tasty. Overall, it was an excellent dish. The strawberry sundae was a great selection to end a nice meal.”
