- CCourtneyNashville •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFRIENDS CHRISTMAS! 5 women and I was the only one who had been here before. We were on a cozy round table near the wine cellar. Demetrius was our waiter....he was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, offered suggestions, etc. But his timing was perfect! Never rushed us, always knew when to come by and offer more drinks or check on us. Wedge salad is my personal favorite and it was a hit at our table. Filet can't be beat, sharable sides were great and the french onion & lobster bisque soups my friends had was delish! We brought gifts and exchanged, talked until closing time and had a wonderful experience!More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Cool SpringsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Franklin•4.7

- RRonNorthwest Florida •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was our second time dining here when coming to Franklin, TN. Nice ambiance, and the service was great! I had an amazing traditional ribeye steak perfectly prepared with creamed spinach and loaded backed potato. My wife had and awesome Seabass topped with crab meat (which I sampled!). The roasted honey glazed Brussell sprouts were a fantastic surprise. We'll definitely return, but most excited that they're opening a location in our hometown of Tallahassee!More infoConnors Steak & Seafood - Cool SpringsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Franklin•4.7
- GGaryNashville •17 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoGlad to have an upscale dining option in the “Factory”. Very contemporary remodel of their location. Open views of kitchen and a dining bar overlooking the kitchen. Very creative touches. Service was attentive. All food items well prepared and tasty with unique presentations. I enjoyed the venison which was cooked perfectly, medium rare. My wife enjoyed the scallops, also cooked perfectly. Only negative comment is that only 3, medium sized scallops were served. For the price one more would have been better. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Etch.More infoetch - FranklinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Franklin•4.7

Discover Franklin
Nashville is well-known worldwide as an entertainment capital of the south, but many people do not realize that the area just south of Nashville is home to an excellent array of eateries that range from the several steakhouses to a solid assortment of Asian restaurants. There are also pizzerias and other European cuisines available at multiple locations. And, of course, when you are talking Tennessee, you are talking barbecue restaurants galore. While Nashville offers the hustle-bustle activity of a big city, the communities of Brentwood and Franklin are small towns located about a 30-minute drive from the country music magnet; both offer a more relaxed setting for any dining experience, whether it is a high-profile chain outlet or a down home "Mom and Pop" country cooking buffet.
