etch is a globally-inspired restaurant by award-winning chef Deb Paquette. The original location opened its doors in 2012 in lively downtown Nashville; the second location opened in fall of 2024 in The Factory at Franklin. The modern restaurant houses two private dining rooms, a full bar, and a chef’s bar, giving guests a look into the restaurants' culinary prowess.

etch’s eclectic menu incorporates innovative dishes inspired by Deb and Executive Chef Jess Lambert's favorite regions of the world to leave a lasting impression, or etch, on every diner. A wine list with over 80 choices is available, along with high-gravity local beers and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

Desserts are prepared in-house by Pastry Chef Megan Williams, whose creations top the list for the city’s sweet confections. House-made ice creams and artfully plated desserts change seasonally, providing a revolving array of treats that will keep you coming back for more.

Having been recommended to go from my visit to the Nashville location, I was anticipating a great experience. The waitress didn’t know the name of the fish and couldn’t pronounce it. We both had our dinners arrive with cold mashed potatoes. We asked them to take it back and heat it up. And they did. They apologized profusely. The sweet potato side dish was cold and had some unusual taste. We said we’re not eating this. Again, cold food. Why? It’s a decent place. They could be first right. They need to put a light outside on the sign as it is impossible to see from the parking lot. Staff was OK not great. I would try it again another six months after they get their act together.

One of the best meal experiences I’ve ever had. They thought of everything. This was an anniversary dinner, and between the hand signed card and the dessert that said happy anniversary on the chocolate in gold letters, to the exceptional service and elevated taste of the food, we were beyond thrilled with the experience.

Would have given 5 stars but 3 of us ordered filet mignon; mine came out well done so I sent it back. The replacement was less done but still overcooked for what I had ordered. My filet was also noticeably thinner than the others in our party ordered. Theirs were cooked perfectly. My husband’s fish was excellent and service was good.

We had a really nice experience. Unique menu items, decent variety, delicious cocktail, excellent service. Quiet restaurant. Enjoyed most food a lot, especially the horseradish salad, Brussel sprouts, and pork rib eye. Probably wouldn’t order the filet again (it’s not a steakhouse). Overall good experience-excited for this addition to Franklin.
