| - This place is quite a way off the strip but worth the ride. I would have given this 5 stars but there were two key mishaps that I could not bring myself to give it a 5.
This place first and foremost is a butcher shop as were told by Dylan our server, and it is the only Echo and Rigg. The atmosphere is hip and happening, and the place has a great outdoor patio area that would be great on a warm night or day.
We started off with portobello mushroom fries and I can see why it's a favourite for so many. Juicy on the inside and a crispy batter on the outside, not like the tempura batter. With the creamy dip it's perfect.
For dinner we both had the Spencer steak and side orders of the sweet potato and cauliflower. All were delicious, I really like the spicy punch of the cauliflower when you bite into a piece of the chilli pepper. Steaks seasoned perfectly. However our steaks were not the temperature we asked for, both looked the same, between medium and medium rare, over cooked for my husband and undercooked for me. For a steakhouse, you need to get the temperature right and because of this I would give it 4 stars as we really enjoyed the meal and drinks (mojitos) and service.
Dylan brought out a birthday sundae, it had coffee ice cream and chocolate bits and pieces of cake but the cake wasn't great. It was dry and just not right.
Needless to say we couldn't finish our meal, especially the steaks so we asked for it to get packed up. And this is where I'm going to give it 3 stars. They brought out the bag, we took it back to the hotel and when my husband went to open it up, he realized they gave us someone else's steak left overs. This place would have gotten 5 as everything else was enjoyable.
