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.

Wow! Finally, a really good menu, well thought out, excellent service by the entire team, food preparation was spot on too. Already making plans for another visit. We wanted to check out the apps so we tried the tempura mushrooms, the charred cauliflower, and fries too and were very happy with all three. Then, we had the tenderloin and arugula entree and followed by the apple tart desert. Not one single bite was off even a little bit! Well done!!
