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.

    We ate at Etch after the Studio Tenn play. I had not been advised that the menu at that time (between 2 and 4) would be so LIMITED. Very disappointing for a bday celebration meal! The food we did choose was excellent as always.

    Deb Paquette's latest star in a remarkable culinary constellation. The vibe, the open kitchen, the always inventive menu and--if you are fortunate--you will watch Deb patrolling the counter. Iconic she is, and an indefatigable raconteur to be sure. Bravo, bravo.

    The food is heavy, and the chef uses tons of sauces. I would expect lighter entries, especially since they use high-quality ingredients. The steak was prepared right, and they use quality meat, but why drench it in so many sauces?

    The new Etch in The Factory in Franklin is every bit as good if not better than the one in Nashville. The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent, although our fellow diner was not thrilled with the venison entree. We were graciously allowed to split several items which was done in the kitchen and presented beautifully. The entire staff, including the hostess, servers, and managers were fully involved in making the evening enjoyable. We live in Franklin and will make Etch our go-to place for a good meal, as we have done the one in Nashville for many years.
