The menu has changed since we last dined, and we like the changes. If you are a fan of Fried Green Tomatoes, try them! The Kale Apple and Freddie salads are excellent.

Our server, Lisa G, was absolutely outstanding. Professional, helpful with menu selections, friendly and cheery made the evening a great outing. The food as usual was outstanding. We shared the pate appetizer which was a combination of wonderful flavors and had the venison and the salmon which were terrific. A Pavlova (great) and espresso closed a great evening. This is why (deliciously innovative dishes and great service) we return to Etch. over and over. Kudos to the team and highly recommended.

Me and my girlfriend went here for our anniversary. Service was amazing and we were stunned by how good the bread and butter was. We ordered the duo entree and shared each steak. This with a side a Mac and cheese and the mushrooms were plenty to fill us up. Best part of the meal might just have been the sides because wow i have never tasted better mac and cheese and this place made me like mushrooms which i never thought was possible. Great experience and great night. Would recommend!

We loved our experience! We are new to town and Urban Grub was recommended to us. From the service to the beautiful raw bar and lovely desserts, everything was fantastic. The complementary valet service on a rainy January evening was a fantastic touch as well. We went for a birthday celebration and we will certainly be back!
