"Etch, aNashvillefine dining staple, made its way south to Franklin and carved out a spot in the industrial-cool maze of The Factory. It brought all of its greatest hits with it, too—the roasted cauliflower, the intricate sauces, the chef’s bar looking into the open kitchen. In fact, we’ve found that the Franklin location is just plain better than Nashville’s when it comes to the quality of food coming out of the kitchen. That bodes well for a high-reward date night or a parents-in-town dinner made up of a delightfully flaky confit duck tart, pan-seared scallops in Thai lemongrass curry, and a crispy potato salad tossed with mustard dressing and chimichurri sauces. There’s a little something for everyone on the menu at Etch, making it a solid catch-all special occasion joint." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
