| - We started with portobello fries were covered in a light and flaky batter. The mushrooms were savory, but not overpowering, dipped in herb aioli sauce. Even the herb aioli sauce created a myriad of sweet and any that truly brought out the essence of the portobellos.
We also opted to try the calamari. Deliciously tender, and in no way chewy or tough. Served with red marinara sauce, as well as the herb aioli sauce. Unbelievable!!! I haven't had calamari so tender in years, BRAVO!
Fantastic Steak. We had the Spencer, AMAZING. I had the red wine demi sauce medium rare, while my boyfriend had his medium with the brandied mushroom sauce. The red wine demi had a light but rich flavor, that played well with the rare portions of my steak. The texture is creamy without being too rich, and it simply melts in your mouth.
My daughter had the asparagus with a fried egg... sooooo not just asparagus and a fried egg. The asparagus had a lightly smoked flavor topped with the perfect slices of aged cheese. She also ordered penne bolognese. Honestly, this was the closest sauce I have ever had at a restaurant, that tastes as close as my Italian grandmother's sauce (AKA gravy).
Saving room for ice cream was tough, but we did it! Worth every bite the cappuccino and caramel turtle sweet, but not so rich that the ice cream weighs you down.
Our waiter was Jordan and we were instantly impressed with this young man's knowledge and descriptive purpose for each dish. Not once did we have to ask for our drinks to be refilled. Thank you Jordan for treating us with great service and consideration.
Although, my boyfriend and I are well off financially we did not walk in dressed well at all. Echo & Rig is definitely about the food and not the prestige of who walks in their door. They are fair and consistent with how they treat their customers. We came in looking as casual as you can be, which subjectively for us, is
T-shirts & shorts.
We will be back.
As far as the prices....beautiful! For those of you that don't think twice on dropping $25-30 on all you can eat sushi...try these guys out first!
