    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!

    This was a really cool experience. The jazz music and singing provided a great environment. The scallops were amazing! The housemade blue cheese was great with the wedge salad. The chicken was dry unfortunately, but our overall experience was great. We will have to check out the burlesque show next time!

    Excellent southern food and charm. We love the chicken fried chicken, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and, of course, the southern fried chicken. There is plenty of food, so we recommend you consider sharing a plate. Plus, it will save you room for their delicious desserts, especially their Cobbler of the Day. We also highly recommend the Fried Green Tomato appetizer - YUM! Our only complaints with the Nashville location are parking (good luck) and noise (this restaurant is VERY loud). Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the food or drinks!
