| - I wish I could give it a 4.5 out of 5, because it wasn't absolutely flawless, but it was still pretty great in almost every way. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
My boyfriend and I went to dinner at 9 PM on Tuesday night, and although we were there two hours before closing, we were still one of two tables inside. The patio seemed decently full though. Upon sitting down, the manager Jason came by to welcome us back as we had dined their before and basically thank us for choosing Echo & Rig. After Jason leaves, our server arrives and goes over the menu. We ordered a caesar salad to start, a glass of wine and flat water.
Caesar was very good, our server even split it for us instead of us having to share the same plate. The dressing is very rich, but none the less, still good.
After our app is cleared, we order our dinner. I ordered the filet (medium), and my boyfriend orders the ribeye, medium as well. As for sides, we ordered the black tuscan kale and the macaroni and cheese.
My only real issue that evening was our steaks. My steak arrives, it's cooked perfectly. It's definitely a more sad piece of filet, as there was a tendon running through it, but it was cooked perfectly and flavored amazing. Ultimately, I give the filet a 4.5 out of 5.
My boyfriend's ribeye, completely well. Nowhere near medium. Maybe near medium well, and that's generous. However, our server was more than willing (and it didn't seemed bothered or annoyed) to send his ribeye back to get it recooked. A short time later, his steak arrives, cooked basically perfect. We were happy. We enjoyed our dinner as the sides were amazing. The macaroni and cheese is gooey and great, and the tuscan kale is my favorite side dish in this city.
When the dessert menu is presented, the manager stops by one more time and informs us that dessert was on the house due to the mistake with the steak. We were absolutely thrilled. Not only did the replace the steak promptly, but they really went above and beyond to make sure our experience was exceptional despite the hiccup.
Ultimately, I think this is a great more fairly priced steakhouse. It's not the upscale steakhouse where the atmosphere is stuffy. At 35 dollars for a 7 oz filet you can't be mad at all. Sides are priced fairly, and portions are good. They have a gorgeous patio that's great for these nice summer nights, and it's great to get away from the strip. I would definitely recommend, and I will be back!
