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.

    Sadly, this was not one of our better experiences at it. Service was very slow, the restaurant wasn’t very crowded. The food was not sharp and delicious as usual. We brought friends to this meal because we love this restaurant so much but unfortunately went home, thinking that we hadn’t had a great experience.

    Amazing food and the best service in Nashville. I had eaten lunch here several times, but this was our first time for dinner and will not be our last. Everything was perfect.

    Not as good as in years past. The bread in the bread and butter app was disappointing but the bread in the charcuterie was fabulous. Scallops were salty and didn’t seem that fresh. Pork was fabulous. Venison was fabulous. Great atmosphere.

    Hi Stephanie, thank you for your recent visit to etch! I'm so sorry to hear that some of your menu selections were underwhelming. We never want our guests to leave with anything short of a five-star experience, so it's disappointing to learn that the scallops fell short of expectations. Our guests' feedback is valuable to us, and I'll be sharing this with our culinary team for review. In the future, please know that we're always happy to replace or take care of anything you don't absolutely love! I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the other entrees. Thank you again for your patronage; we hope you'll return soon!

    Food is always wonderful with flavors you just don't get anywhere else. Not the usual menu you get at any other restaurant. Great service, drinks, food, and excellent location in Nashville. One of our favorite restaurants in this part of Nashville. Highly recommend!
