Extremely disappointed. I have been to Echo & Rig previously and have enjoyed spending my dinners there for special occasions. I've recommended friends and family to try the restaurant out due to it's normally good food and service. A few days ago was my son-in-law's graduation dinner and we decided to celebrate there per his request. We had a reservation for 9:30 PM. We arrived shortly after our reservation, around 9:35pm or so. After checking in, the hostess didn't really explain what was going on. Soon it became 10 pm and we still weren't seated. Why did we bother making a reservation then? When we first came in, they said they wouldn't seat the party until the whole party arrived. Our whole party arrived, and still nothing... Just continued to sit downstairs in the lobby. Then when I came back and check in to see what's the hold up, they said they're waiting for the people sitting at our table to stand up. Why are you giving me the run-around? Just tell me straight off the bat. The restaurant closes at 11 PM and still around 10:10 pm now we are not seated. I know they're not going to shut down, but we have places to be and don't like to feel rushed and make employees stay after hours to accommodate. We were already starving because the only reservation time they had was 9:30pm. 10:10 pm and we still weren't even seated for dinner yet. The waiter we had was decent. Nothing special. Service was meh. However I didn't quite catch the name of the assistant waiter (he was darked skinned and was refilling our waters)... he did a great job and was very attentive and professional! The manager (?) I'm guessing on duty, came and apologized for the wait and offered fries for the kids but he did not seem sincere. He just seemed like he was doing it by force. He never did come by again to check on the table. I can't help but feel out of place here. I really did feel like I was treated unfairly because of the color of my skin. I really do feel like this place caters to "white folk" and if you don't fit within that, you get crappy treatment and service. Won't be coming back or recommending anyone here anymore...
