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.

    We were very impressed with Etch - they made it an extra special meal for our anniversary with thoughtful details including a card, champagne toast and anniversary chocolates on top of our desserts. The cauliflower starter was good, but the duck tart was even better. For mains we tried the venison which was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the fish special which was a beautiful mahi. Desserts were an apple tart (our favorite) and eggnog ice cream sundae. Will definitely be back when we return to Nashville again!

    Amazing as usual. With so many good restaurants to choose from in Nashville sometimes it can be hard to make a decision but Etch never disappoints!
