In her 13 years as Chef/Owner of Zola, Deb received accolades for Nashville's best chef and Nashville's best restaurant multiple times. Nashville restaurants are many, but Etch sets itself apart with bold flavors and colorful presentations.

The cuisine at Etch is complemented by our comprehensive wine list, featuring an extensive collection of wines from around the world. Guests can also enjoy our modern take on classic cocktails, along with a variety of eclectic beers and regional drafts.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deb Paquette

From the OpenTable editors: Pioneering chef Deb Paquette is Tennessee’s first woman to qualify as a certified executive chef and her bold, globally inspired menu takes center stage at this critical darling in downtown Nashville. Grab a spot at the lively chef’s counter for a front-row seat to the open kitchen, where Paquette turns out artfully plated dishes like pan-seared scallops with Thai lemongrass curry paired with stellar, Wine Spectator-awarded wines. No meal here is complete without one of pastry chef Megan Williams’s knockout desserts.

    This is my second time enjoying Etch and my first time at the chef’s counter. This was my birthday request and it exceeded my expectations. The service was impeccable and also warm and charming. Brooke took such good care of us. At the chef’s counter yet you have the privilege of seeing all the food and can ask questions . I was enthralled with the cookbooks on the shelves which I am sure offer some inspiration and even humor. The food was so delectable and well balanced. The salmon dish was the best thing I have enjoyed in several years and I eat good, clean salmon often. Hubs enjoyed chef’s special- short rib. We enjoyed the apple sesame tart for dessert. I am going to have to fit in another visit before we head back to California.

    Amazing food! Amazing service! We had the beet salad, chef special (mahi mahi) and the filet. Delish! Not to mention, care and concern about food allergies. Our new favorite restaurant!!

    First, I want to say that the food was excellent!! I had the pan seared sea scallops and my boyfriend had the venison. Everything was cooked perfectly! The horseradish Caesar salad was flavorful without being overdressed. I also loved that they can split the portion of any salad. The ambiance was great- love being able to see into the kitchen and watch them do their magic. It also was crowded but not loud and it was easy to have a conversation. Our server was very friendly although he was slow. It took 15 minutes just to get a glass of wine from the bar. We also got the Brussels sprouts which were awesome! On the menu, my glass of wine was $14 and the Brussels sprouts were $10. When the bill arrived, the glass of wine was $18 and the sprouts were $11. In the presence of a $180 dinner bill, $5 is not a big deal. However, I believe the prices on the menu should be the same as what appears on the bill. We waited for our server to come back so that we could give him an opportunity to correct the bill, however we never saw him again. This was the only negative in our experience at Etch. The rest was glowingly positive!!
