Crunchy risotto, salty/sweet martini, huge cheesy empanada. The scallops themselves and the lamb meatballs were nice. The lamb dish was cohesive but the scallop dish had no singular direction. Truffle pea puree, spicy carrots, crunchy overcooked risotto and pickled sprout, arugula salad. All over the place. Dry, dirty martini tasted like it was made with sweet vermouth and salted. Barely drinkable. The ambiance is nice however it feels like a hotel lobby bar. Wait staff was awkward and didn't seem comfortable with his job. Our starter, the empanada. Could not decipher which cuisine this was coming from. So much cheese and huge empty space. Only a couple pieces of mushroom. Harissa sort of sauce signals Mediterranean but then jalapeño pineapple slaw would say islands with a central american empanada. So expensive for what it was. I don't think I can recommend this place and I don't see how the rave reviews can be honest and have a palate for fine dining.

Etch was outstanding as usual. We had the empanadas for an app and they were incredible. We had the seafood special (Mahi) and the salmon and they were fantastic. Service was great from the host to the server and kitchen staff. If you haven't done counter seating, give it a go!

Chefs fish special was excellent, a 10. I had a pork chop. Slightly over done & a little dry. Go with the specials. I think that’s the lane to be in.

We had a wonderful experience at Etch! The food, service and entire experience was exceptional and I highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered appetizers (roasted cauliflower, empanadas and rolls) and they were all delicious. Our entrees included the filet, lamb meatballs and two chef specialties- salmon and mahi and they were all spectacular. The wine selection was impressive as well. We will definitely return to Etch on our next visit to Nashville!!

Our entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our server was energetic, extremely knowledgeable, and checked in on our table at just the right moments when we needed refills or to ask how the food was. The food was delicious and was out to our table extremely fast. Smaller portions as expected from a higher end restaurant but still very filling. I would highly suggest trying etch for parties, an anniversary, or just a place to go if you’re feeling fancy.

What a wonderful experience we had at Etch. We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday and when we arrived at our table we found a”hand written” birthday card signed by all the staff!! Our server could not have been any better! He explained the menu clearly and was extremely knowledgeable of each item served. The food was wonderful, from the appetizers to our meal. The creative flavors and pairing were on point. If we ever travel back to Nashville, we will definitely return!!
