Admittedly, I was leery of brunch at a steakhouse, but Echo & Rig was one of the better (non-Vegas strip) brunches I can remember. Fantastic service and affordable prices.
Because it was gorgeous October weather, my +1 and I sat outside to enjoy the sunshine. Apparently prime brunch time in Las Vegas starts later than it does in San Francisco. It was around 11 am and we were one of the few tables occupied. It makes sense, since nightlife in Sin City doesn't really get going until 11 pm... guess that means the locals sleep in a bit more?
There's an actual brunch menu, which has plenty of gourmet options to choose from. However, I was feeling adventurous and ordered a Drunken Goat sandwich (goat cheese, brie, herbs de Provence, green apple) with a special request: a sunny side egg on top. It was the best of both worlds, the perfect midday meal.
Quite possibly the best part? Our server let me order one blueberry pancake at half the price of the regular dish. If you asked a server the same thing in SF, they'd roll their eyes and make you feel stupid for even trying. One of the many differences between these two cities. Vegas wins in the customer service department for sure!
The total bill for two people was less than $50, which was amazing. I forgot what food costs outside of the expensive 7x7 confines of San Francisco, too. So this is how the other half lives, huh? So jealous.
Worth the drive out to Summerlin for sure. Great food, nice view, free parking, and I appreciate our server accommodating my random requests.
