I had the BEST meal and experience at this restaurant. When I told our server that I had celiac, he let me know my options (the menu is not marked) and said that he let the kitchen know. The manager even came over to the table to tell me how they handle cross contamination/allergies in general, so this made me feel especially safe. I ordered the filet mignon entree for dinner and the ice cream sundae for dessert, both of which were PHENOMENAL and altered to be gluten free. If I lived in Nashville I would 1000% come back here and try every single thing on the menu. 10/10 recommend!!!
If you say you have celiac, they’ll have the manager come talk to you to explain their protocols, and the manager will likely be the one to bring out your food and tell you that it’s gluten free. They are very knowledgeable and I felt very safe. The menu isn’t labeled but the servers have allergen sheets they reference.
Very good! Very concerned about gf/celiac. Though you should ask to get the low down. At that point they are very thorough!

Had the best meal I’ve had in a long time with a truly remarkable service team. If you want to splurge it is absolutely worth it. They take great care of you.
Dining out with celiac disease can be nerve-wracking, The manager personally guaranteed our meal's safety, and the knowledgeable staff guided us through several gluten-free options. They offered several safe choices and could modify other items to be gluten-free as well. The food itself was incredible (and has a price tag to prove it). This place is safe.
Incredible experience. Per the recommendation of some other reviewers, I noted my celiac disease in my reservation. All the staff were so accommodating. The manger came over to me after ordering to insure everything would be safe. It was one of my best meals I have ever had and I didn’t get sick.
My experience at Etch was great. I made a reservation through Open Table and added a note about being Celiac. My server took the time to make note of this prior to my arrival and proactively spoke to the Chef so he could outline all of the gluten free options available. When the food was brought to the table, we were guaranteed there was no cross contamination during the preparation of the dish. They also had a two gluten free dessert options. Aside from the restaurant (and everyone working there) being extremely respectful and careful due to my Celiac diagnosis, the food was also amazing! I ate every bite. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
We stopped in for lunch based on the reviews and it was spectacular. Truly! I had the Spanish tenderloin with manchego mashed potatoes and my husband had the Mediterranean salad with swordfish.
Oh, we also had the roasted cauliflower for an appetizer, too.
You can tell the attention to detail by the chef in every bite. It all was so delicious!
The manager came by to discuss how gf we are and the server was so very knowledgeable about the ingredients.
If I was a local, this would be my go-to restaurant. Oh, and lunch is a fraction of the dinner prices.
Excellent GF options. About a third of the menu is GF. They take GF very serious. When a cooked item is up from the kitchen the waiter calls for a manager who looks at the order tag and then verifies that the dish is GF. And, the food is outstandingly amazing. It’s not cheap, but well worth it.
Incredible service, very accommodating and understanding. They were very clear with the ingredients and ultimately I decided to take the risk with a sauce with soy sauce and they were understanding. 10/10
This is the second time I’ve eaten here. The food is amazing and I feel 100% confident in their GF options. Not everything is gluten free but they have a few options and they all sound so delicious. I got the venison and it was so good. Their gluten bread is AMAZING and a must try. It’s fine-dining and expensive but well worth. I’ll eat here every time I visit Nashville. Servers are knowledge on allergies and chefs are very accommodating.
Staff very attentive, meals are awesome , a healthy very tasty meal!

Hosted a dinner with celiac and non-celiacs. The server was exceptionally attentive to our celiac needs and very careful to ensure the gluten containing items were segregated from GF items. The chef adapted many of the menu items to accommodate GF and placed potentially suspect ingredients (ie. nuts) on the side. The managers delivered the GF items and spoke directly to the Celiacs to reinforce the GF safety. The GF bread is incredible - even non-celiacs enjoyed it. I have had the filet on several occasions and have never had any issues. The service was spectacular!
Food was good. A fair number of options available. Did not get sick.
Great selection, great service, exceptionally delicious food. All members of the staff were knowledgeable about GF options that are celiac safe. The chef came to our table before the meal and assured me they would prepare things safely. He then delivered our food, reassuring me how it was prepared. An overall great experience!
This place was great!! The waitress was very knowledgeable and ended up combining two different entrees to give me the best of both worlds (the protein I wanted with the sides that were safe). They have a GF bread & butter option that is delicious — definitely worth the add on! Also many of the starters could be made GF, as they were willing to use separate equipment for preparing. My meal was delicious and I had no reactions
Y’all! This place is awesome. They are super slammed usually, so definitely make reservations. We went on a Thursday night at 9pm and they were still not taking people without a reservation. I ordered everything gluten and nut free and had no reactions. The cauliflower appetizer was so good. It’s very rich, so it’s enough to share with 3-4 people. I had the fresh fish (Mahi Mahi that night) without the sweet potato beignet and nuts. Our server and the manager both asked if I was Celiac when I said I needed my food gluten and nut free. Very impressive that they knew right off the back what I needed. A great place for a fancy, romantic dinner.
Ordered the chef's creation 3 course meal of the day. The staff was very accommodating to make sure my meal was prepared on a clean grill and all ingredients met my dietary restrictions. I carry an allergy card that lists GF and nightshade allergies. The Chef personally spoke to me and tailored the meal to meet my allergy restrictions including making corn bread muffins just for me. It's the best meal I've had since becoming ill with a rare autoimmune disease in 2017.

Etch was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone was exceptionally professional and ensured that I was able to order and receive my food without gluten or soy. Loved the cauliflower appetizer (no almonds as they are fried) and pork chop with salad and potatoes was great. I also had the merengue dessert however I had to forgo the white chocolate sauce due to soy. It was very nice and the merengue and lemon curd were sweet enough with the blueberry ice and pistachios to balance the flavors. Thank you for a wonderful evening where I didn’t have to worry about getting sick. I only regretted not remembering to order the gluten free rolls. No GF menu however you can tell server your allergies as everything is made to order so they can accommodate your requests.
One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! The complexity of layered flavors combined with how serious they took my gluten free needs was amazing. When I mentioned I have to eat gluten free (I have non-celiac gluten sensitivity), the waiter asked if it was an allergy or celiac and told me how they would handle it. Since every dish is made to order, I could eat almost everything on the menu (the fried chicken was a no-go). For appetizers, we had the roasted cauliflower minus the almonds due to cross contamination, steak carpaccio, octopus and shrimp bruschetta on gf rolls (my favorite of the three). They were all delicious. For my entree, I had the from the sea special which was mahi-mahi. The only modification was no sweet potato beignet, but I didn’t miss it. For dessert, I had the pear and cranberry pavlova. It was delicious! I can hardly wait to go back!
Excellent food and careful to confirm with chef and carry out separately confirming again gluten free and avoiding cross contamination.
Visited twice. Both times had attentive and experienced staff. Even had GF bread and butter. Excellent food.
The only thing I could eat was salad due to dairy allergy. I didn’t like the salad because I don’t like arugula, but I ate it and was fine. Waiter kept referring to everything as Celiac free which was weird, but I’m guessing the chef knew what he meant because I didn’t have a reaction.
The menu doesn't denote what is GF, so I was a bit leery. But, my server was awesome! She told me that most of the menu could be modified to be GF. I was interested in the butter sampler appetizer, so she went back to the kitchen to ensure that the butter of the day was safe. Sure enough, it was and it was served with delicious GF rolls. My husband had a few bites and said he wouldn't have even been able to tell that the rolls were GF. I then had the filet, which was amazing. All in all, a great experience and I felt very safe eating there!
The best filet and bottle of wine I have had... maybe ever. Service was impeccable. Did everything exactly right from explaining Gluten Free / Celiac safe options to reaffirming that food was Celiac Safe. Two words... go here!
JUST WOW! Best meal I’ve had out in a while. They accommodated both gluten and dairy allergies and I even had dessert! I set parameters and my super awesome waitress took care of the rest. It was such a great experience. Don’t miss it!
One of the best meals! Knowledgeable on GF, and dishes where extremely tasty!
Wonderful!! I had the scallops all gluten free! They had a great understanding of celiac and I had no problems
Highly recommend this restaurant. We are not just gluten-free but we are dairy free as well. This staff is well-trained and they go over the menu with you completely after speaking directly to the chef about your dietary restrictions. A place not to be missed.
Great service excellent menu with some unique fresh flavors. Hope to visit again soon. Definitely a favorite. The gf herbed dinner rolls were addictive served with apple pie butter and roasted fennel butter. I loved all the flavors right down to the earl grey chocolate ice cream!
Amazing food.....staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful.....the bartenders are great.....they make the best gin cocktail in Nashville! This place was so good we went a couple times....lunch and dinner!
Ate here last night with no issues. Things on menu were not marked but waiter and kitchen very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Had cauliflower appetizer (delicious!) and spinach salad. Nice atmosphere.
very attentive to my wife's gluten allergy. excellent food and service
Had the Argentine tenderloin for lunch. They fried the potato salad in a separate pan. Everything was delicious! Came back the next day. They were very understanding and knew about celiac disease. Too bad there is not one in Chicago.
This restaurant does not have a gluten-free menu but 95% of the menu can be prepared gluten-free and everything is delicious. They even make gluten-free bread and I was told they have a dedicated oven for their gluten-free bread. I have eaten there several times and the staff seems very knowledgeable as well as the chef about cross-contamination concerning gluten items. I have even eaten some of their sauces because they are gluten-free as well, most are made with fresh ingredients. Great restaurant!
