We had a fantastic dinner experience at Etch. In particular, our server Brooklyn took amazing care of us. She was helpful, friendly, informative, and entertaining.The food was very, very good. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and the horseradish whipped potatoes were delicious. The Frenched Chicken Breast was unique and flavorful. The Crispy Potato Salad was pretty amazing, and I think of it as a unique twist on a German potato salad. They also have gluten-free bread rolls, which were very good.Speaking of gluten-free, they are exceptionally helpful in this area. Many of the menu items don't have gluten to begin with, and pretty much everything can be modified to make it gluten-free. That might mean that with the burger, for example, you just exclude the bun, but the point is that the staff is very knowledgeable and can help ensure you can enjoy an excellent meal that meets your dietary restrictions.The location in The Factory is very convenient, and yet when you're in Etch you feel like you've been transported somewhere else. The interior feels elegant but not stuffy.Overall we really enjoyed our dinner at Etch, and will most certainly be back!

Etch on Franklin in Nashville--what a meal! First off, let's talk about the fried potato salad. Y'all fry the potatoes, smash them, then fry them again? That's straight-up blasphemy... and I loved every bite. Crispy, creamy, ridiculous in the best way.I went with the mahi for my main, and it was spot-on and exactly what I wanted for dinner. The service? Hilarious. The staff had that perfect mix of being professional but also joking around just enough to make the experience feel fun and personal.

Waitress was awesome!Drinks terrific. I ordered the vegetarian dish (I'm not a vegetarian). It was amazing! My wife had the chicken and loved it.Great vibe.

I was really excited to try Etch! The vibe of the restaurant was great! David our server was fabulous! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions from apps to the wine list! The food was very colorful and well flavored! I'd say the duck pastry was my favorite. It was packed full of flavors I'd never combined before. So much thought is put into their food! The filet was very well dressed. I do feel like it was a hair over cooked since I asked for rare and it looked the same as everyone else's. We had a range of rare to medium in our order. Lastly I feel like the dessert list could be better. While they had several options, our table ordered 4 different ones and agreed, they were subpar. Dessert is the reason Etch is getting 4 stars instead of 5! This is a great place to go for a dinner where you just want to try something you wouldn't anywhere else!

Etch is new to Franklin, so the restaurant lacked some character but the waitress was great! I started off with an Old Fashioned, the ice was crystal clear, good sign. And it was good. There are two types of restaurants for me, one great comfort food, and designer food. This is the second, it looks pretty. I had the Grilled Filet Mignon, the plate was very colorful with sauces, but didn't offer much taste. The filet was cooked perfect but I was expecting more flavor. My wife got the Frenched Chicken Breast, it was very good. A freind had the Salmon and it was good. The sides we got were the Crispy Potato Salad, ok that was amazing! A must have. Also got the Fried Brussels Sprouts, I will never ever review Brussel Sprouts... others said they were good. For dessert, Pear Ice cream, Chocolate Mousse Bar, Ice Cream Sundae. You might want to skip and find Dessert in the factory.

Smaller version of downtown, still with a personal focus on excellence. We gave up outr table for the bar. The bartender was engaging and service was good, but not great. The Duck Tart was unfortunately sold out at 6:10 pm. The Smoked Carpaccio was good, but a little stringy. The variety on the Charcuterie and Cheese, was very good, though some cheeses only had an individual piece, overall a lot of food. The atmosphere is bright and simple. There is a full bar and a diverse wine list.

Amazing experience. Great food and beautiful presentation. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

I returned to etch today, a grateful guest of the manager. The Calamari Shrimp Bruschetta was excellent. If you haven't yet, the mid-day menu is worth trying. It's a beautiful restaurant.

Little do people know, the entirety of Franklin is pretty much closed on Sunday. We had such an amazing brunch experience here! The food was to die for!! I had the Salmon and Potato bowl. So many wonderful flavors! We sat at the bar and Richard was amazing. Beyond elevated service and dining experience!!! Check it out!

We have visited Etch four times since they opened. First of all we are just thrilled with this coming to Franklin. The food is amazing. Cauliflower is my husband's favorite and I usually get the salmon. It is so tasty. Service has been top notch each time and the restaurant is small enough to feel cozy but large enough to bring a large group. We love it and recommend it to everyone. I do hope they add more variety to the menu as the seasons change, but this spot is a much needed addition to our city.
