| - I'm seriously in love with this place. It's probably my top 3 favorite places to eat in Vegas. Now I heard through the grapevine that Echo & Rig is from the same creators as Bottega Louie in DTLA, and being a native Angeleno, this restaurant is a staple in your life. I have not confirmed this, but the portobello mushroom fries are the same exact recipe to a T. So I'm hoping this is true!!
Typically I just come here and order a ton of shared plates with my crew, so here are my suggestions: Tomato/Watermelon salad, roasted broccolini, asparagus & fried egg, brussel sprouts (these are lemony and light, excellent summer dish), burrata, portobello fries, bone marrow carne asada (brilliant), garlic shrimp. I would not recommend the mac & cheese because it was kinda dry and a little bland. I've also tried the mache roasted chicken salad and the sea bass (sea bass was great, if you like a little salty). For wine I tried the Echelon chard, which was not impressive, but Stratton Lummis "The Riddler Lot 4" red blend was excellent!!
I've sat upstairs and the service was incredible. I've sat downstairs @ the bar and the service was incredible. Last night our server was a bit odd, she did mention she was new, so I cut her some slack. But she didn't know which wine was which or what was in the blends. Aren't y'all supposed to be training your servers to know the wine before they serve it? Also, she snatched our ID's out of our hands after repeatedly asking for them when we already had them out on the table, and the third or fourth time she came around failed to ask us if we wanted another glass of wine (when our first ones were clearly finished). I get it - you're new. You're forgiven ONLY because I love the food, atmosphere, views, and music so much.
Echo & Rig = Bottega Louie. Happy native Angeleno Vegas transplant!
