    FRIENDS CHRISTMAS! 5 women and I was the only one who had been here before. We were on a cozy round table near the wine cellar. Demetrius was our waiter....he was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, offered suggestions, etc. But his timing was perfect! Never rushed us, always knew when to come by and offer more drinks or check on us. Wedge salad is my personal favorite and it was a hit at our table. Filet can't be beat, sharable sides were great and the french onion & lobster bisque soups my friends had was delish! We brought gifts and exchanged, talked until closing time and had a wonderful experience!

    This was our first time. It was awesome! Started with a black Manhattan and their silver sage and carrot appetizer. I had the scallops. Wife had the beet burrata with steak. Everything was properly portioned and cooked to perfection. Not too much and not too little. We had room for the coconut carrot cake and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back. For parking, don’t use the public garage next door because they will not validate it. They said they only validate pink tickets. I’m not sure where that lot is but the public parking was only $5/hour.

    Glad to have an upscale dining option in the “Factory”. Very contemporary remodel of their location. Open views of kitchen and a dining bar overlooking the kitchen. Very creative touches. Service was attentive. All food items well prepared and tasty with unique presentations. I enjoyed the venison which was cooked perfectly, medium rare. My wife enjoyed the scallops, also cooked perfectly. Only negative comment is that only 3, medium sized scallops were served. For the price one more would have been better. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Etch.
