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.

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!!

Most disappointing evening hosting out of town friends. We have been a 4 Top Hospitality customer for many years, in that time enjoying the downtown location of etch, along with the other restaurants in the collection. With etch opening in Franklin, we really expected this to be a memorable evening. Where do I start? Three scallops for $51? Or the wait staff not knowing which type of salmon was being served? Or incomplete drink orders? Throw in mushy philo served with the small portion of venison, all combined for a less than acceptable dining experience. The most telling moment of the evening was when we ask for the shades to be drawn to keep the lights from the cars in the parking lot out of our eyes, the manager came over to perform that function. We noted that they really should have been lowered at dark, provoking his comment, "Don't I know that!" Quite rude. We will remain a 4 Top customer, albeit without another dining experience at the Factory location of etch. Sad in many ways.
