Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deb Paquette

From the OpenTable editors: Pioneering chef Deb Paquette is Tennessee’s first woman to qualify as a certified executive chef and her 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.

    Not our first dinner here but possibly the best of all! The entrees (venison and scallops) were fabulous with creative and interesting ingredients! And the service by Josh was excellent. Etch never disappoints!

    Brooke, our server for the evening, was clearly a professional. She made the night seamless for my girlfriend and I. Very knowledgeable on the menu and ready and willing to steer me in the BEST direction with both the cocktail list and the dinner menu. Satori and Old Fashioned were wonderful, as well as the Venetian Sky. Bruschetta, Filet, Venison, and the Polenta Cake were all incredible.

    Our server was amazing… Very accommodating but two managers were pretty much just oversee the food that came out. We were at the bar about an hour and a half we were there at no time do they turn around and try to be friendly. Sure would’ve helped with the experience. Food was Beautiful, but not as flavorful as you might imagine at a higher end restaurant.

    We love to try new places when we go out of town and Etch was FABULOUS! We are so glad our AirBnB neighbors we met told us about this place. It was by far the best dining “food” experience we had in Nashville. Will definitely be back!

    Great service. Food was delish. The roasted cauliflower was perfectly prepared and the various sauces were the boss! We had the special salmon dish as well as the Brussels. 5 star all the way around.
