Absolutely love Etc. I originally went with my boyfriend due to high reviews we saw online. Quaint and trendy setting with limited seating. Cocktails were great. I had the grilled fillet which was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend has the venison and he loved it. We went back for a graduation and they accommodated a request to have congratulations written on a fantastic chocolate dessert. We will be coming back for date nights and special occasions due to the quaintness, excellent food, and thoughtful service! read more

Love it. Underrated restaurant in green hills. The food is always good and brings something unique to the dish just about every time without trying to do too much to stay relevant like many other restaurants read more

Very delicious. I had the scallops and my husband had the rack of lamb. The risotto paired with the scallops wonderfully and the sauce pulled it all together. Atmosphere is fair, dark and private. Little louder than a normal restaurant, the kitchen is wide open to the dining room so you see chefs preparing. Cool for us; but some might not like the noise read more

Etc Restaurant - Scallops - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great food. Awkward bar and hostess service. Eat here if you are staying at the hotel around the corner and don't want to drive.

Phenomenal service and food you have to taste! I went here for the first time with my family and 7 year old son. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to special requests. They truly made the experience as phenomenal as their food. And the chef/owner even came out to say hello. I highly recommend trying etc and their other restaurants to complete your Nashville experience. read more

Right behind the hotel we stayed at in a residential district. Road not well lit but once you found it, it was easy to see. The ambiance was cozy, intimate but not too loud. The service was impeccable and the recommendations were exactly as described. The wine selection was very good and the dessert was shareable and just right. The chicken breast was to die for. Melt in your mouth with a southern fried flair. If we ever stay on this side of town again, we will 100% be returning to this place. read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Nashville. Every single dish is a show-stopper. Beautifully plated dishes and fresh ingredients. Wish my stomach had room for every dish! Tips: try the mushroom appetizer, filet, salmon (although this was a special), and the seasonal fruit tart! read more

The catfish was very good but the cauliflower remolaude was a bust. Sometimes you need to go with traditional ingredients like tartar sauce which would have made this perfect. All the remoulade soaked into the bread and all that was left was the cauliflower . read more

Great food and service. Outdoor and indoor seating perfect for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!

Great ambiance, especially for being located in the ground floor of a multistory commercial building. Our server was witty, and funny - in a good way - not intrusive. The food was delicious & creatively plated, great presentation. We will definitely be back again soon. read more

I was looking to start the new year with a nice brunch and was curious about this interesting sounding name "Etc". Since everybody who had written reviews said that I'd need to call for reservations I did (even though I was going there alone) so. Also I had been to Etch before but really wasn't very much impressed with it and so wanted to try this so-called little sister restaurant to Etch. Wow... was I pleasantly surprised? The decor, the setting, the menu and the prices were certainly above my expectations after the Etch experience. The service was acceptable, the food impressive, and the general ambience was really first rate sitting at a comfortable window side table. The weather outside was gloomy but the environment and food inside were excellent enough to make me warm and fuzzy. I tried the Indian Chicken Taco along with the Soup of the day (tomato and pumpkin? Bisque) which came with a submerged meat samosa in the middle. I thought the presentation itself was unique and the open faced tacos with curried chicken, watercress, and three different sauces piled on top were a treat for my palette (I did ask for extra spicy). But what really surprised me were the moderate pricing for a typical uppity restaurant in Green Hills! Perhaps the big sister needs to learn a lesson or two from the little sister...:) Anyway, I decided to try the dessert (mind you, I never touch desserts... I am all about savories... not sugary) thinking that I would check out the menu and ask for my usual cappuccino or something... However my knowledgeable server tempted me with the leftover New Year's Eve dessert that was on sale. After considering the occasion and wondering about the "special" I humored him to bring it. Well, I actually ate my whole dessert for the first time in probably eons ( last two dinner meetings I had my dessert taken home in doggy bags!) ... so yes, it was delish to say the least and not at all sugary to my rather prejudiced tongue....lol So... all in all, I love you Etc. ., my new gem in Green Hills.... Thank you! read more

We love the food, service and location! And it has a very cool vibe! We highly recommend this neighborhood gem!

The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars Is due to the excellency of the food. The smoked salmon and pork loin were particularly wonderful. Service was somewhat shocking. Last night was our 2nd visit and after feeling somewhat mistreated, we'll most likely never return. My husband finished his drink and timed 18 minutes before someone came by our table (not our server). At this point, We were able to order another round. After the main course, we sat for another while with our plates pushed aside as our server bypassed us several times without so much as a glance. Later, it appeared he was bringing us our check and I actually had to ask if I could get dessert. It was a let-down after hearing the server at the table nearby animatedly describing desserts. Those were just some examples how we felt pretty much ignored with our server only putting in the bare minimum. read more

The food was very good. My husband and I were in town to visit our son who attends Vanderbilt and had the opportunity to eat at several different Nashville restaurants including jazz clubs, diners, steakhouses, and a remarkable pizzeria. While I don't consider myself a foodie or a food snob, there were some truly lovely flavors and the detail and thought put into the food was impeccable. The filet was remarkable, the pork tenderloin the most tender we had ever eaten, and the venison was truly outstanding. The only drawback was our server. He was certainly adequate but a little familiar in an odd way. I love having a conversation with just about anyone but this was definitely off putting. It was the only dim light on an otherwise excellent evening. read more

I am convinced that Deb Paquette can do no wrong, and etc is no exception. Another home run meal from this extraordinary chef! With Green Hills traffic and especially the holiday season (which triples said traffic) I waited to come to Etc until I felt confident I wouldn't be faced with the typical chaos that is Green Hills. Lunch the week after Christmas was perfect and we grabbed a seat at the bar since the tables were all full until 1:30pm (apparently reservations are normally a must). I was very torn on what to order since everything sounded so good. Luckily our friendly bartender made some recommendations and we had the brussel sprouts, the Korean pork BBQ sandwich and the patty melt with some of the lightest most flavorful pasta salad I've ever had. I didn't sample the patty melt, but my BBQ sandwich was fantastic and an interesting flavor, just like all of Deb Paquette's dishes. She knows how to combine flavors and make them work together. Also, the brussels are simply wow. No bitterness or overcooked mush here! They were perfectly cooked and served with smoked ham, dried cherries, and what tasted like the pea puree that is on her famous cauliflower appetizer at her sister restaurant Etch. Yes and yes. I am already plotting my next visit for brunch and dinner, just at a non-peak time. read more

I don't know what to say. This place blew our minds. We'd been to Etch and love it and this place is just as awesome, just more of a neighborhood restaurant vibe. The pork dish melted my face. The catfish was a ridiculous combinations of flavors this southern boy never expected with fried catfish. Got a cheap bottle of wine that tasted like it was 3 times as expensive. The cocktail my wife got was a little sweet for her taste, but we'll let it slide... read more

Great food and drinks. Octopus was tender and succulent, fish was amazing. Service was perfect! The only complaint was the table next to us. Some idiot man was wearing a bottle of cologne that was overwhelming and obnoxious. I have a serious migraine read more

Came here and ate on the patio and it was really nice! They have vegetarian options beyond just a pasta dish which is always great and appreciated. We for the grilled bread as one of our apps and it was good, but I would suggest saving the room for their other tasty apps. We had the carrot appetizer thanks to the suggestion in another review and it was greeeeat. My husband has the venison and thought it was great. Not sure if our server was new, but he wasn't particularly knowledgeable and forgot a few things which is the only reason for the star markdown, although he was still super nice! read more

Update: after my initial review, restaurant manager reached out to personally apologize for the service issues and offered to make it right, which means a lot to me. We don't live in the area, so we haven't been able to go back, but I think that a restaurant that pays attention to feedback, apologizes for service issues, and offers to make amends deserves a star upgrade. Plan to go back and give it another try on my next trip to Nashville. read more

It's a small tucked away gem in the heart of green hills. It has a sultry ambiance with amazing flavors of food. The service is consistently great! read more

Tried this little gem for a Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. I ordered the spicy chicken eggs benedicts which was fantastic! The spicy chicken had quite a kick, the Benedict sauce was rich and creamy and eggs perfectly poached. My husband opted for the pork belly biscuit and he absolutely loved it. My son ordered the squash waffles. The waffles were delicious but, being a kid, he wasn't impressed with all the fancy additions and flavoured butter. Next time we'll just order his waffles plain with syrup. We treated ourselves to the orange mimosas which did not disappoint. Overall this was a great brunch experience and we will definitely go back. Service was great, drinks were perfect and food was beautifully presented and piping hot. I only give this rating 4 stars because when we showed up for our reservations, the table they tried to seat us at was a table for 6 right at the kitchen door when there were several other tables available that could seat 4. I asked to be seated at a different table and the hostess was a little prickly about it. If I'm taking my family for a nice brunch, I don't want to poked in the corner of the restaurant, in front of the busy kitchen, at a table twice the size as we require. Just my preference. read more

Great service and ideal atmosphere at Etc. This is a perfect place to go out in Green Hills that is away from the mall traffic and has a trendy vibe. We ate a late dinner here on Friday night and it was busy yet running like a smooth operation. We had terrific service from Hester (spelling?) with all details attended to. He checked on us without rushing us. We had our daughter with us and he brought her a killer grilled cheese early that was served with perfect crispy home fries with nicely salted potato skins. Yum. I started with the Crudo appy (see my pic) and my husband had the daily special mushroom bisque. The crudo was such a beautiful plate with light salt, thin grapefruit pieces and gorgeous celery and radish thinly mandolin sliced and curled into an artful presentation. Hubby soup was creamy and decadent but the best part was the fried Watercress garnish in the center which added the perfect crunch and bite to the right thick soup. My chicken entree was disappointing. It was a large $30 plate that looked too busy. The artful brush of hoisin sauce was too strong and it wetted the edges of the fried chicken and made it mushy instead of crispy. The chicken was dry on the inside. Broccoli and sauce were okay but the fried dim sum wonton pocket was confusing. It lacked flavor and was cold and very heavy. It tasted more like a beggars purse that had been sitting out then any dumpling you would find at dim sum. My husbands seafood dish was much better and I asked to too many bites of his instead of enjoying what I ordered. Etc is part of group that owns Etch in Nashville and Amerigo and Char in Memphis. I would like to try this other spots. read more

My husband and I went to Etc for date night! We've been reading Yelp reviews and social media for COVID precautions before we dine anywhere; on the surface, they looked safe but didn't adhere to some protocols. I was excited that they had a QR menu at the check in desk but they still gave us laminated menus..not sure if those are wiped between uses or not but why bother when you've got the QR code. The other thing that was troublesome was the fact that they didn't really enforce mask wearing as patrons walked in or around. We sat with a view to the front door and saw folks walk in multiple times without a mask and fiddle around with it while being checked in. There was also a lady who was walking to the bathroom with half a mask on and no one stopped her -- we've been to other restaurants in Nashville who have done a better job! Our waitress (Marlina) was great!! We loved all the food and drinks and hope to visit again once COVID clears up read more

Welcome to Green Hills , Etc!! You are going to crush it! You seem to be off to a great start. Been here 3 times in 4 days. Having fun working my way through the menu. If you like Beets, the Beet salad is delish. The zucchini ate like a meal. The grilled sourdough with housemade butters is an indulgence I recommend. Just wish the space was bigger to accommodate more of us locals! read more

Came in for brunch noon on Sunday and was able to walk right in for a table for two inside. Definitely came in at the right time because it quickly filled up after. Service was good and food came out quickly-started with the sausage bruschetta and smoked salmon appetizers and both were delicious! Unique accent flavors made the salmon a very dynamic dish. Would definitely recommend the Fried chicken-comes on top of two buttermilk pancakes with a delicious orange bbq sauce and the chicken was fried PERFECTLY. Will definitely come again!! read more

Although I have been to Etc before and loved it, I am writing this review on behalf of a friend who asked me to post his thoughts because he is not on yelp, and because a handicap prevents him from typing well. My friend has advanced-stage Parkinson's, which makes it difficult to navigate a fork and spoon, which causes him to eschew dining out because of the discomfort it causes him and the staff. He had dinner at Etc the other night, however, and his experience was everything he hoped it could be. The food was fantastic, but what stood out in his mind was the staff. The waitress did everything she could to make him feel comfortable in an appreciated inconspicuous manner, and, when he ordered desert, the chef thought to arrange the plate in a way that someone with impaired motor skills could eat easily. He was touched at how thoughtful everyone was, and it made it a special dining experience. He is appreciative of everyone's effort, and, for that, I am, too. Thank you. read more

Visited for brunch today with friends and we all greatly enjoyed our meals. We had the potato skins & orange fig bread as appetizers and both received rave reviews. I had the carrot cake waffles which is not like your typical waffles drenched in syrup; it had a smoky carrot component along with a moderate amount of pineapple syrup topped with berries and pecans. Different but great. They also had valet for parking. Finished with a chocolate mocha cake that was perfect. I can't wait to return and try other dishes! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Nashville and we loved their to-go menu during the stay at home order. Needless to say, we have had great experiences both dining in and taking out. I am gluten free and they are always accommodating and have plenty of choices for me to chose from. As far as dining in goes, its a very intimate space and kind of tucked away in Green Hills-- I love it. Bring back the carrot casserole dish!!! Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for a glass of wine and an appetizer after a long day. The bar (where I sat since I was alone) is softly lit and just right if you are running solo. Was able to get a spot on a busy Saturday, plus got to chat with other locals. Ashley, my bartender tonight, was very cordial even while very busy. She patiently answered questions posed by me and various dinners. I ended up ordering the beet salad. Generous portion of greens, for sure. The beets and pecans were a bit more sparse, but it scored on my "filling yet low-cal" criterion. I will be back to try the roasted Brussels, which looked amazing...and which the couple next to be confirmed. Dinner portions looked generous and most people around me seemed pleased. Can't comment any further than that! But, if you are looking for ambiance and and a great cocktail or glass of wine in a quiet part of Green Hills, 2 thumbs up! read more

My wife had been to etc. for lunch and raved about it. Maybe I would have, too, but dinner there was unremarkable. The menu seemed fussy and pretentious, with a paragraph of esoteric ingredients for every dish. The lamb I ordered was OK, but a minuscule portion and the vegetables were cold. The waiter was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, but the service was glacial--we waited over an hour for our entree. read more

So delicious! Highly recommend. I've been twice and both times everything was spectacular. Etc. is always a crowd pleaser! Would absolutely try it out. read more

Best meal in my 30 years of piggin out, hands down! This is the type of restaurant you take your time to eat and enjoy the complex creativity in every detail. I ordered the scallops with kale which were cooked to perfection. I can tell the chef loves her sauces and takes the time to create the most amazing flavors to accompany the meal as more of a garnish instead of drenched all over the food. Every small detail did not go unnoticed. By far the best food and dinning experience in Nashville so far. Taylor Anne was our server, thank you for taking such good care of us! read more

First of all, this restaurant is amazing! Our experience was different than most, because the power went out right as we were ordering our food. What the restaurant did next to make sure everybody wasn't hungry while waiting in the dark for the lights to come back was impressive. They started making appetizers and salads for every table for free. It was delicious! The lights finally came back on, and we were served our entrées. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The salmon was the special that night and my mother-in-law loved it. We had dessert and coffee before calling it a night. I can't wait to come back! read more
