Echo & Rig is a priceless undiscovered gem in the gold city for food that is Las Vegas.
Food 5/5
The food here is fantastic with everything well seasoned and super flavorful. We had :
* Rainbow salad 5 flavorful
* Watermelon cucumber salad 5
* Spencer 4.5 cooked perfectly great mushroom sauce
* Caramel ice cream 5
Service 5/5
To say service is a 5 of possible 5 is an understatement. The service in this restaurant is leaps and bounds of what one would expect at this price point. During my stays over the last 20 years in Vegas, I have visited dozens of high end expensive restaurants and this is by far the best experience I've had. Some highlights:
* Everyone was acutely aware it was our first visit - It REALLY mattered to them.
* Communication was high between the wait team and with us as well.
* Full court press was in full swing - everyone was REALLY working to impress
* Teamwork was excellent: waiters working together in a way I hadn't seen before.
* Warm and friendly by everyone.
* Structured system in kitchen w pass & Quality checks.
* Wait team anticipated needs and was ahead of it before I even asked.
* Energetic everywhere - Lots of synergy in the dining area
* They remembered my special request from my Open Table reservation which most of the time gets forgotten.
* Manager was very active with handshakes hello and goodbye along with some really nice conversation.
Value 5/5
Our bill was about $105 which if you are used to the Las Vegas strip is a deal and a half. I've had way worse experiences for double the price. That included drinks and dessert.
Ambiance 4.5/5. Nice vibe; attractively lit; big windows.
Cleanliness 5/5
Chefs all wore hats in the open and visible kitchen. Clean eating area.
Restrooms 5/5
Perfectly clean. Attractive. Smelled good.
Moisturizing butter rocks left my hands clean moist and smelling great
Parking 2.5
The garage for the shopping center that this establishment is in is awkward but that is of no fault of the restaurant.
Overall 5/5
I take my "5 star" ratings seriously (as you can see by the spread on my profile) and in this case a 5 is a slam dunk. All things said, this is probably the best dining experience I've ever had. It wasn't just the food that was a winner. The service exceeded my expectations and was in the "stunning" category.
There is no doubt I will return to this place on my next visit to Vegas. You should too. it's worth the 30 minute excursion.
