    We think it is the consistently best restaurant in nashville!!! We are blown away every time with the unique dishes that Deb comes up with. The salmon appetizer is the best dish in town. And the pastry chef is incredible as well. Amazing. And our server was awesome. Very attentive and knowledgeable and sweet and only 22 years old!! Always an excellent meal.

    Worst experience ever! Service started hostile and aggressive. Improved after asking for a different server. Food way below sub par….. do they even have a chef? Supposed to be a birthday celebration, flat bread way over cooked, veggie curry covered in lettuce with huge pieces of lemongrass that should be removed because it can’t be chewed or swallowed??? Ice cream forgotten off dessert-isn’t that a no brainer? Very embarrassed to take a friend after wanting to make it a special lunch! Definitely won’t return and do NOT recommend!

    Have been dining here since it opened and until last evening have never had bad food or service. Waitress was a ding bat and my food was all cold as if had been sitting around for an hour which it probably had given how slow and clueless the waitress was.

    We ate here for the first time three years ago and absolutely loved it. So, this time instead of trying one of the trendy new restaurants we decided to revisit etc. Unfortunately it wasn't nearly as good this time. The appetizer (cured smoked salmon) was easily the high point of the evening. Really a fantastic dish, and now we understand why our waiter mentioned that some guests will just order two or three of these appetizers rather than ordering an entree. We decided to share two entrees so that we could try a few different options. First up: Duck breast. We ordered the duck "Medium Plus", but it was very much medium rare. And while all of the individual components of the dish tasted pretty good, they just did not come together as a whole. The brussels sprouts were fine but nothing exciting. The blueberry whip was tasty but seemed like more of a novelty than anything. Then there was a sweet potato polenta (?) which was fairly bland. All told, this entree was tremendously disappointing. We also had the featured dish, which was a breaded white fish served with a risotto cake and some crabmeat. The fish itself was cooked properly but also very bland. The risotto was probably the best part of the dish, but again the flavor profiles didn't really tie together in any meaningful way. If you go, I highly recommend sticking to the salmon appetizer. It's so good it just might justify the trip by itself. Otherwise though, everything else was painfully average, and with the number of amazing restaurants to choose from in the Nashville area this will likely be our last trip to etc. :( The waiter did mention that the menu had just turned over, so perhaps that was part of the reason for the inconsistent food quality with our entrees. Maybe they just haven't smoothed out the rough edges yet...?

    Hi Shannon, thank you for your recent visit to etc. I am disappointed to learn about your experience and regret that your entrees fell short. We are always open to feedback and will happily replace or take care of anything that is less than perfect as long as we are made aware of it at the time of service. These dishes are in fact part of our new menu, so this is helpful to pass along to our culinary team for review. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We'd love the opportunity to rectify this experience; I am confident we can find items from the new menu that you will love. If you would please share your contact information with me, I'd like to discuss a return visit further. Thank you in advance for your time!

    Even though very few diners in the restaurant our food took an extended time to come and one of our dishes was cold upon arrival. Usually etc is spot on so probably an off night

    Thank you for your recent visit to etc. I am sorry to learn that this particular visit fell short of expectations. I can understand your disappointment with these timing issues, and regret that the end result was a dish being served at the wrong temperature. We are always open to feedback so that we can constantly improve; thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I'd like the opportunity to rectify your experience. Would you mind sharing your contact information with me at your convenience? Thank you in advance for your time!

    We had 3 different entrees with soup, Caesar salad, bread and butters. Everything was superb. The interesting complex combination of flavors have always been Deb”s specialty and ETC does it best. Venison, pork tenderloin and catfish were all cooked perfectly but the accompaniments and flavors were designed to complement each dish perfectly. An amazing meal again.

    Etc. really surprised me. I found etc. on OpenTable by scrolling around on the internet to find a reservation for my husband and I to have a date night dinner at a new place. We are foodies and were surprised to not ever havr heard about etc. since we've been to many Nashville restaurants over the 4 years. The restaurant was spectacular and unforgettable, mainly because of the culinary creations we were served. We had the fig and bacon flatbread, the mushroom soup, the venison dish, and finally the creme caramel dessert (that should've included "Fall" or "Pumpkin" in the name). Every course was genuinely tasty and had great flavor profiles. Hats off to the kitchen team! Both my husband and I had cocktails that we enjoyed, too. Thank you all for creating such a memorable experience--we will surely be back soon (with friends)!

    Phenomenal food and an overall fantastic experience! I couldn’t be more pleased with my birthday meal. The food is just out of this world good and you can tell that thought was put into every element on the plate. More importantly was the service. We had Cole, who was just amazing! Attentive and friendly, he had us laughing all night. The rest of the wait team was just as friendly and helpful. Swordfish was great and my wife and father loved the venison. Will be back and will recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional meal!

    Best neighbor hood restaurant in Nashville We’ve been to Etc. twice now and have been very pleased with everything about this restaurant. We like it much more than it’s big brother Etch down town. Etch is excellent but Etc. is something special. The food is fantastic and the ambiance is perfect and the staff is incredible. I can’t praise this place enough We absolutely love this restaurant Try the venison dish or the filet both were wonderful
