Neighborhood gem

etch is a globally-inspired restaurant by award-winning chef Deb Paquette. The original location opened its doors in 2012 in lively downtown Nashville; the second location opened in fall of 2024 in The Factory at Franklin. The modern restaurant houses two private dining rooms, a full bar, and a chef’s bar, giving guests a look into the restaurants' culinary prowess.

etch’s eclectic menu incorporates innovative dishes inspired by Deb and Executive Chef Jess Lambert's favorite regions of the world to leave a lasting impression, or etch, on every diner. A wine list with over 80 choices is available, along with high-gravity local beers and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

Desserts are prepared in-house by Pastry Chef Megan Williams, whose creations top the list for the city’s sweet confections. House-made ice creams and artfully plated desserts change seasonally, providing a revolving array of treats that will keep you coming back for more.

Great job Deb and team! Amazing food and impeccable service. The shrimp & octopus bruschetta was one of the best dishes ever! Seating is a little tight, got bumped into all night. We'll be back, and probably at the counter next time.

The standards that we love from Nashville location are available at Etch in Franklin- Roasted Cauliflower, Argentinian Beef Tenderloin. We ordered the tempura mushrooms which were a generous portion but we found to be a bit greasy. We loved the Smoked Potato Salmon Bowl with the perfect jammy shoyu egg! The Pavlova with pear sorbet and tangerine marmalade was a divine way to end our meal. The service was excellent!!
