The food was excellent overall. The hot honey pepperoni pizza with feta was phenomenal, so delicious. The pesto chicken sandwich was also great. We had 2 hot chicken sandwiches which were good. Everything was hot and fresh. Reasonably priced & good quantity of food for the prices. I would definitely come back, and will make a reservation next time to make everyone's life easier!

It was good and I appreciated the flavors but would try a different starter next time! I really enjoyed the spaghetti. It tasted like summer on a plate - light, fresh, and bursting with bright tomato flavor. The sauce was simple but layered, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. Overall, an enjoyable meal and a space I'd love to come back to try other menu items....I have heard rave reviews about a corn pasta here and I'd like to try sitting in the interior dining section which had a cozy, inviting feel.

My bad…read more Etch sits on the corner of Demonbreun (demon brewin' LOL) and Almond Street (between 3rd and 4th). A fairly small, upscale restaurant led by chef Deb Paquette. Prior to the tax hike, they had one of the best happy hours in the area. Still some good things on the menu, but my favorites, like the duck tart, are gone. Very small bar in the front, unlike Brick Tops across the street. This means there is not a lot of room to wait for a table, so definitely consider a reservation. The main dining room is through a doorway to the right. This space is roomier with ample glass to give it a nice open feel. The food? One of the best meals in Nashville. I have been here numerous times and the food never disappoints. The wait staff will detail the chef's special of the day and these are often the best way to go when you visit. The grilled Filet is excellent, but they also have osso bucco, a proscuitto chicken roulade, and Venison on the menu. For appetizers, the roasted cauliflowere or mezze are great for a lighter start. Labm meatballs are esquisite and, outside of the duck tart (now gone), the smoke carpaccio is my go to. For dessert, I am torn. The Chocolate Mousse bar is decadent, but I have had a thing for New Zealand Pavlova since I first tried it in California. For happy hour, they have 3 cocktails for $9. The tempura mushrooms, fried brussels sprouts, and roasted cauliflower are all good, but I miss the duck tart. I did mention the duck tart, right Deb?

The front of the building was elegant and well lit. The hostesses greeted us warmly, and with our reservation we were seated within five minutes. The crowd was dressed in business casual, which set a nice tone. The one drawback was the noise: the main dining room was louder than I'd expect from a fine dining spot. Then again, it's downtown Nashville on a Friday night. The Staff Every staff member we encountered was polished and professional, exactly what you'd hope for at a restaurant like this. Our server, Yay, was exceptional, an absolute joy. She was kind and knowledgeable, and her balance of professionalism and playfulness was spot on. The Food and Drinks Nearly everything we ate was delicious. The smoked old fashioned was one of the smoothest, most refined I've had in a long while. The Tomahawk was cooked to perfection, and the sides were excellent across the board, with one small exception: the potatoes that came with the Tomahawk were on the bland side and could have used some salt. That's a pretty easy fix, and it was the only miss of the night. Otherwise, the chef and kitchen were right on the mark. The Verdict Would I come back? In a heartbeat, just maybe not on a Friday night. Three thumbs up, and thanks to the staff for a memorable evening. Chef's miss? Not even close. This one's a Chef's Kiss.

We came here for late dinner, 8.30 and this place was not packed which is very surprising, bc they play music jazz music, and you can have a lovely dinner and still hear ppl talk. But the best thing is their pork chop !!! This is a must get. Thank me later. We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork. But it was sooo good, has a nice char on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, it sits on top of a bed of allegedly "rice" according to our server. But to me, it reminded me of a tendon brisket texture. I would've bet money on it too. But delicious with sweet peach sauce that came with it. For the prime rib, it was a huge cut of meat, but it was lacking flavor, needed some more salt and some rosemary to bring out the meat. Both main dishes can serve 2 people each, so worth the price and food. Definitely come back! And a shout out to our server Cole, who was great

We walked in toward the end of the evening, not realizing the restaurant was getting ready to…read moreclose. There were still a couple of people at the bar and a few tables with guests finishing their meals, so nothing immediately indicated that we were arriving near closing time. The hostess was very friendly and seated our party of four right away, but she never mentioned that the restaurant would be closing soon. Had we known, we would have gladly chosen somewhere else to eat rather than risk feeling rushed or unwelcome. The ambiance was nice, and we each ordered a cocktail. Unfortunately, our experience with the service was disappointing from the start. Our server seemed visibly annoyed with us and had an attitude that made us feel as though we were an inconvenience. I understand that being seated with a table near the end of a shift can be frustrating. I've worked in the service industry myself, and I know what it's like to be sat late in the evening. However, that comes with the job, and I would have much rather been told upfront that the restaurant was closing soon so we could have made other arrangements. We were visiting from Nashville to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were looking forward to a nice dinner to kick off our trip. Unfortunately, the food was a mixed experience. I ordered the turtle soup and prime rib, requesting the prime rib medium rare. It arrived medium, if not slightly more well done. While the flavor was good, it was not cooked to the doneness I had requested. The turtle soup was also excessively salty, and everyone at our table agreed. My wife ordered the beef en croute, which was cold in the center, although the pastry on top was cooked nicely. Our friends ordered the lamb and halibut, and both dishes were prepared well and enjoyed. For a restaurant where we spent over $400 on dinner, I expected a much higher level of food quality and service. Mistakes can happen, and I understand that no restaurant is perfect. However, the combination of the unwelcoming service and the issues with several dishes made for a disappointing evening. What made the experience especially frustrating was that this was supposed to be a special dinner to celebrate our anniversary and start our trip on a high note. Instead, we left feeling disappointed and as though our business was an inconvenience. If the restaurant was closing soon, a simple heads-up when we arrived would have gone a long way. We would have understood and happily taken our business elsewhere. The following evening, we dined at Sinatra's and had a fantastic experience, which made the contrast even more noticeable. Overall, the ambiance was pleasant, and some of the food was good, but the service and inconsistency in the dishes fell well short of what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. When spending over $400 on a dinner for a special occasion, you expect to feel welcomed, enjoy a well-prepared meal, and leave with a positive impression. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and this restaurant was a disappointing way to begin our anniversary trip.

The…read morerestaurant was completely packed when we visited, so I'm really glad I booked a table well in advance. They have a relatively small entrée menu, and the entrées are definitely on the pricey side. However, they have a great selection of appetizers and smaller plates, which makes it easy to try a variety of dishes. I decided to go with the Chef's Choice option, where the chef decides what you eat. Honestly, I'm really glad I went with this because it allowed us to experience a wide variety of dishes without having to choose everything ourselves. We started with fried potatoes with green garlic chimichurri and whipped feta with dip. The whipped feta was absolutely amazing and one of the first highlights of the meal. We then received a couple of special bite-sized appetizers, including bacon-wrapped dates and beet falafel bites. The bacon-wrapped date was delicious, and the beet falafel was a fun and flavorful bite. The halibut sushi was good, but the real surprise for me was the avocado and crispy rice salad. This dish was absolutely out of this world! The crispy rice added an amazing texture, and the combination of flavors was fantastic. For the entrée, we had the house kebab platter, which came with house shishito peppers, fried okra, mushrooms, chicken and steak kebabs, along with a side of fermented pepper. There was a lot going on with this platter, and it was a great way to finish the savory part of the meal. We ended dinner with the peach and almond Malabi, which was delicious and a perfect way to finish the meal. Overall, Butcher & Bee completely lived up to my expectations. The Chef's Choice experience was definitely the right decision, especially for someone like me who loves trying different dishes. The food was creative, flavorful, and full of interesting combinations. The only thing to keep in mind is that the entrées can be quite expensive, but the smaller plates give you a chance to sample a lot of different flavors. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time because this place fills up quickly!
