    We went to House of Cards for my birthday. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The food is extremely expensive but I think some of that cost is to pay for the magician. My family ordered steaks and a filet mignon. They said it was very good. I ordered the butternut squash vegetarian dish. It was good but not my favorite vegetarian dish I have ever had. A bit too salty so I did not eat it all. We had a really good bottle of Cabernet red wine. All in all I think we paid $750 for 5 people so be prepared for that. The magician was pretty good as well. We had a wonderful night overall. Every staff member we spoke to was polite and friendly. The ambiance was nice as well.

    Etch has to be my wife and I’s absolute FAVORITE food spot in Nashville. Always an incredible experience with the best meals, easy. Our waitress, Sandra, was perfectly attentive and gave us plenty of time, space to enjoy while always being available to provide information and recommendations when asked. She was great. The entrees were second to none. I did the “from the sea” special, it was the Salmon. It was insanely good, incredible flavors and perfect pairings. My wife got the Filet Mignon and was raving about the meat and potatoes. We started with the Smoked Carpaccio which might be our favorite dish in Nashville. Such a good app. 10/10 experience, always.

    Food was exceptional. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service needs work. Our waitress did not know to bring each person a small plate to share a chocolate roll. Had to ask for salt and pepper and butter for an english muffin as there was no follow-up to the food being delivered.

    The food was delicious. Lobster roll was market value, $36 that day for a hot dog sized roll with a side of chips. It was very good though. The Southampton Pizza was very flavorful, as was the New England clam chowder. Best chowder next to what we’ve had in Boston. It’s a little loud in the restaurant. But not obnoxious. The majority of the Christmas decorations (if you’re coming to see those because you saw it on social media) are on the rooftop level. The rest of the restaurant is regular ambiance. Very friendly service. I would go back.
