Etc. - Nashville

Our server was rude throughout the evening. At first, we thought he was just being humorous and laughed along, but as the night progressed, we found ourselves feeling increasingly upset. He carelessly cleared away our champagne and tea, insisting that we move our champagne to the center of the table because he was uncomfortable with us having it there. When my friend requested a tea refill, he remarked something to the effect of, “Wow, they really despise this alcohol.” This made my friend anxious, and when she inquired if there was any alcohol in the tea, his response was, “That was sweet, and it clearly fell through.” When he returned to replace the tea, he stared at my friend until she finally said, “I’m waiting for you to take that stray and pour it into the new glass.” This behavior made us quite uncomfortable until we asked for boxes for our leftover food. He seemed offended and said, “You’re suddenly full?” I genuinely hope his behavior was meant as playful humor that we simply didn’t understand, but his professionalism with other tables contrasted sharply with his attitude toward us, making it feel personal. As we were likely the youngest couple in the restaurant, we wondered if he noticed this and tried to highlight the age difference. In the end, our bill came to $250, including the 20% tip that was automatically added. We didn’t feel that our experience was worth this amount, and given how we were treated, we would not have tipped the full 20%. We are disappointed that the glowing reviews we had heard were not reflected in our experience.

It was a wonderful choice for our jubilee dinner. The four-course meal was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

It was New Year's, and the food was excellent, except for my vegetarian dish, which was overly spicy. My main concern was that we were seated too close to other diners, which made the experience less enjoyable.

We went to etc. for their New Year's Prize. it was great. each of the four courses was unique and excellent. that will be a silver tradition.

NYE dinner at etc. was amazing. Our meal was delicious and the service was attentive but not intrusive. We love the atmosphere at etc. and can't wait to visit again.
