| - I carelessly throw around the "L-word" & this review will not be spared its usage.
Echo & Rig was recommended by a family member who clearly knows great food & with confidance, I can now also vouch for E&R's deliciousness.
I love love love that there are over 30 "small plates" on the menu. Grazing is my eating style, & if i weren't hell-bent on having filet, I would've ordered more than the superb portobello mushroom fries & herb aioli. Tried a bite from his stack of thick-cut bacon w/ BBQ sauce -- smokey, fatty, more like baked ham than bacon.
Love love that you get a (free!) sauce with your steak. His "charred onion" paired beautifully with his rib-eye cap, & my horseradish cream pick elevated an already lovely filet. Say yes to their garlic mashed potatoes.
And finally, love that our service issue was immediately & professionally addressed. My filet arrived medium after we'd waited 40-minutes for our steaks. They whisked it away with sincere apologies, & the filet was returned well done as I had ordered. Desserts & coffee (as if we could eat anymore!) were comped for our troubles (carmel turtle sundae is a must.)
Room for improvement: though I love (lust) that they pour ketel one, my cocktail, A Love Affair, delivered zero buzz, & tasted like a weak lemonade.
Provided they don't make a habit of making customers endure excessive wait times for their steaks, E&R's extensive menu deserves a second look the next time we're in charming Tivoli Village.
