Echo & Rig

This restaurant was great! My boyfriend and I ate at the bar and the bartender was super friendly.
For a drink, I ordered a black and blue mojito and I was not blue about it. ;) Definitely worth it.
If you don’t order the cauliflower small plate you’re doing something wrong with your life (unless you’re allergic or something). I could have eaten 3 servings of that dang sweet and spicy wonderflower all by myself.
As an entrée, I got the over the rainbow salad, and the boyfriend got the summertime steak house. I was delighted by the array of gorgeous flavor in my salad, and the boyfriend was not disappointed with the flavors in his steak salad. However, portions for the salads aren’t too large, resulting in a boyfriend who was still pretty hungry.
Went to the luxurious bathroom and they had salt scrub! Never have I been to a restaurant with salt scrub, so, of course I indulged in the exfoliation.
I will definitely come back to this restaurant. Great place!

When you first drive into Tivoli Village you think I’ve probably arrived at the wrong spot. The outside looks gorgeous. I arrived in jeans praying they wouldn’t turn me away and they didn’t but you definitely feel a little underdressed. Downstairs is their butcher shop and upstairs is for dining.
My second time here and the service is pretty good. Your mimosas never touch the bottom which is always a great thing. (Bottomless is 16 and for bloody Mary’s its 22).The food for brunch is mediocre at best. So far we had the steak frites, the New York sandwich and the steakhouse scrambled, all three meals were nothing to brag over. And to be honest, it’s very disheartening because the décor and the vibe from this place is awesome.
Maybe I should try the dinner sometime?
So to recap, décor check, service check, food the box remains empty but the bottomless mimosas keep us coming back.

So, I have to say my expectations were pretty high following the hype about this place from my husband.
When we arrived, I felt like the restaurant was HEAVILY occupied my males. Which I get, being a steak house. I guess.
I thought the menu was a little odd in that the sides you order with your meat come out before the meat, as an appetizer. Maybe we were doing it wrong and nobody explained it differently to us.
Aside from not fully understanding that, the food was top notch. Seriously could not complain about any of the sides (we had the portobello fries, cauliflower, and sweet potato), and my filet, which I ordered well done, was cooked perfectly without them having to butterfly it.
Overall, I’d say this is a very masculine driver establishment. Great for a guys night, business meeting, or bachelor hang, but not so much a date night or place for the ladies. Atleast that was my experience.

Everything was spot on from service to product!
Coming from fine dining, my expectations are pretty high. Time after time throughout service I was amazed.
As we walked through the entrance and up the stairs (being seated at the exact time of our reso) the hostess inquired about our intentions. Whether or not we were celebrating. I informed her that I was gaining a brother in law. She took the information she gained and shared it with the staff. This is not something commonly done throughout restaurants but she took the extra step to make note.
Our server was phenomenal. It was like dining in the Wynn. He timed out our food perfectly, coursing it out and keeping us informed at all times as to what his intentions were. Dining here was an experience in itself, it’s as if the entire staff works as a team. As every glass was emptied there was a different staff member removing it from the table just seconds later. When each of us stepped away from the table we came back to a folded linen. When the glass was low it was immediately filled from our bottle. Absolutely impeccable service.
We felt like family. Thank you so much! I will forever recommend Echo & Rig to family and friends!

Phenomenal place, especially for steak, but everything was so good. The service was exceptional. Our server, Sam, was attentive and knowledgeable. He took care of our every need. The Portobello fries were amazing. The octopus was tender and smoky. The brussel sprouts were great. The main course — a tomahawk steak (bone in ribeye) — was enough for a party of four, ordered medium rare, and done perfectly. Had the caramel turtle sundae for dessert, also exceptional. Couldn’t have been happier with our experience.
One thing they could do better: keep the wine list up to date. We ordered a 2008 Beronia, and Sam brought a 2010 bottle. Older wines generally cost more, so bringing a newer vintage at the same price without mentioning it — not right.

I don’t enjoy frequenting the typical tourist spots on the Strip when I visit Las Vegas. We’ve found the best meals are off the beaten path. I happened to find Echo & Rig on Unilocal.There was only one downside to the experience.
We loved the food. The atmosphere was nice. We were able to use Open Table. Everthing was a winner except for Sam, our waiter. For whatever reason Sam thought little of us. Any question I asked was met with a condescending answer. I don’t understand the mentality. Sam is a waiter. While I don’t think I’m any better than Sam I also don’t think Sam is any better than me. Clearly he did think so. I asked about a side and was informed snidely that marjoram is a spice. I didn’t ask about marjoram. I asked how the corn was served (on the cob or removed). My lamb chops came with violet mustard. I tasted it and found it to be delicious so I asked how it was prepared. All he would say is it’s VIOLET mustard — three times he said it. I told him I tasted wine and was curious (we like to replicate things at home). He left and came back a little later, telling me dismissively that it was a red wine and mustard reduction. Was that so hard?
On the other hand his assistant, Julian, was a breath of fresh air. He was young and seemed happy if we were happy. I was so impressed with his attention to detail and his genuine courtesy that I stopped the manager and told her I thought he did a wonderful job.
So I guess I recommend the place with the caveat that you should avoid Sam.

Have been back twice in the past two months and have had poor experiences each time. It appears Echo and Rig is trying to decide if it wants to be a hip cool bar, or a trendy steakhouse. It’s failing at both and we’re over it. Made reservations a week ago for 5 people. Even received a confirmation call the day of. Arrived 10 minutes early to an insanely crowded downstairs with blaring music, no where to sit, people drinking and families like us all standing around waiting. Was told they were running late, how late I ask? Here for a birthday. No idea how long the group of 3 giggling 20somthings working the hostess station say. So, I guess we wait… last time we were here the same thing happened so ok. However after 20 minutes, I go ask, how much longer? The group of girls working say no idea, there are «many» people ahead of us. So after 30 minutes and coming to the understanding that Echo and Rig is being run by amateurs who over book their their reservations list consistently, we departed. Twice in a row this is happened here for us, off to find a better run establishment in the area. Shouldn’t be too difficult.

Echo & Rig could have gotten a 5 star but we had some small issues I can’t look past. However, we’ll be back again. I highly suggest the Jumping Beef — it’s a braised dish in some amazing Peruvian broth that is jumping off. I felt bad for leaving that broth sitting left behind. Husband ordered the center piece of a prime rib. He’s a big red meat eater & even though the selection & presentation of the meat was unmatched my most, this steak did not do it for him. Wasn’t anything special & somewhat grainy. The garlic mashed with cheddar we ordered on the side was room temp — hence we didn’t eat much of it. He ordered oyster sampler to start but the waiter forgot so it wasn’t served. Wound up being ok with that since he was full without it.
Now with the awesome stuff — the service was impeccable. The greeting at the hostess station was welcoming. Nothing was left sitting on our table. We were never left unattended. The wait staff was fantastic. The manager came over to introduce himself & make sure we were ok. They used our name several times & I heard them doing it at tables around us which is highly uncommon. The location of the restaurant for us is perfect. The dining area is beautiful & is located on 2^nd level with large windows to look out over Tivoli Village. I think they right now are the cats meow in Summerlin. They’ve got everything.
Next time we’ll sit at the bar downstairs.

We came here during brunch on a Saturday and who could say no to $ 16 for bottomless mimosas. I ended up getting the short rib hash and I thought it was way too heavy for breakfast. But it’s okay there’s bottomless mimosas! You can even control your ratio of champagne and orange juice which was so nice.
The service was great, we really couldn’t get to the bottom of our mimosas before they refilled it. The manager also came up and asked us how we’re doing. It’s a nice extra touch to show that they care and even asked if we wanted sriracha to go with our short rib hash. It’s feeling so fancy though since it was the first time in my life seeing sriracha served in a sauce cup haha.

Unbelievable Experience, Great Atmosphere/​ambiance friendly service from our server Sam. Steaks were cooked flawlessly.
Took a good friend here for her b-​day, at the end of the night we both it was a great choice.
Lets start off wit apps. octopus, gigante beans salad and it was just the right amount of dressing and not to sour. next up portabello fries with herb aioli. kind of stuff dreams are made of.
Main course. she had the rib eye cap (med well). i had the steakhouse cut rib eye (med). both juicy, tasty and had the right char on ends.
For dessert we shared an espresso ice cream which wasnt nothing to write home about but it didnt exactly suck.
Overall, it was worth the price, this is definitely a dining experience one must try atleast once. and compared to the strip, what a value you get! my only gripe if had one was 2 days before i called saying i had reservations and was celebrating a birthday. they even took her name down and said we would surprise her and bring out a bday sundae. they never did, no biggie still had a great time, they must have been busy. i also should have reminded the girl at reception regarding the surprise

Located in an outdoor shopping complex off the busy Vegas Strip, Echo & Rig was a spectacular find. Parking is free and plentiful in any of the underground garages. Alternatively, there is valet at the door. I admit I found the first floor layout a bit odd — the hostess area to the left of the door, an oyster bar at the bottom of the stairs, a butchery to the right and a few scattered tables in the center. The hostesses were very pleasant, asking questions and jotting down notes as you walked up the staircase. This note was then passed on to your server as a conversation starter, which was a nice touch.
We opted to sit outside and the ambiance was perfect. The furniture was comfortable, the lighting and balcony overlooking the street made for a romantic evening. Our server, Ramon, was truly a professional and offered suggestions from cocktails to small plates to entrees. We opted to start with the Portabello Fries which were flavorful and nothing like we’ve ever had. Get it! We both opted for the Spencer Steak (him with the chimichurri and I with the bearnaise) and the Cauliflower and Pork Belly small plates. Unlike some places where your steak arrives alone, E&R’s comes with garlic chips and a mushroom Rockefeller. Our small plates/​sides were a good portion for parties of 3 or 4, especially since the steaks don’t come naked. I found the steak cut a bit chewy side.
We ended the night with bursting bellies and declined dessert but the server brought over the caramel turtle sundae anyways and WE COULD NOT PUT THE SPOONS DOWN. It was so good!
Our experience was phenomenal and made for a memorable birthday dinner! Kudos to the top notch service. I would be here every week if I didn’t live across the country.

Wow — excellent everything. Let’s begin with the fantastic ambiance — you cas check out the dry aged meats, they have specialty items when you walk in — I love the salt scrub (yup!). They have spectacular wine service — however overall the service was 5 stars.
The food was EXCELLENT, the service EXCELLENT and I loved the ambiance. Here is a secret — no corkage! Shhhhhh…

I was able to book a dinner reservation on New Year’s Night at 6pm. I was so excited to celebrate not just a new year, but the first new year as husband and wife. When we walked in the restaurant, I was a little confused. To the right was a butcher shop, to the left a bar, and a host stand with four hosts. We told them we had reservations and one led us upstairs to be seated and gave us menus.
I think I’ve been watching too many Bar Rescues lately because I just started observing and timing the service. No one greets us for at least five minutes, then some employee came by to light candles on our table refusing to make any eye contact so I assumed he wasn’t our waiter. Then another five minutes, a manager stops by and welcomes us, tells us about the concept and hopes we enjoy our dinner. He says he will get us water (yes, that would be great). Then another five minutes and we get water (from some other employee that doesn’t make eye contact either or interacts with us). Okay…
Another couple minutes pass by and we finally were greeted by the waiter and I order the Date 17 cocktail and hubs orders the Black N Blu Mojito. It probably takes another 5 – 10 minutes to get our cocktails and we place our order. Now, I will give them the benefit of the doubt since it was New Years Day! My cocktail was superb! I highly recommend it! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a great drink that had dates!
The hubs and I order the Portabello fries with garlic aioli, House Blend butcher burger and the grilled cheese with short ribs! The portabello fries will not let you down — you need to try it! Actually, everything was delectable and I was impressed.
When we get our bill, it was less than $ 60, which I was pretty happy about because the last few restaurants I’ve been to were more than $ 60 for two people and the food quality are probably the same.
Thanks for celebrating the New Year with us, Echo & Rig — it was delicious and fun and for that, I will give you five stars!

Christmas Dinner!!! Everything was Fabulous, I mean everything!!!
Service was amazing, the environment was welcoming and the Food= Fantastic! I highly recommend this place

I should be biased to be writing a review of a steakhouse since I’m not one to love steak. Anyways, this place alone deserves the greatest praise for customer service. Customer service is everything when it comes to dining in to a fancy restaurant. A group of us were here for dinner during our last weekend in Vegas as suggested by our friends who live here to try this place out as it raves awesome reviews.
From beginning to end, service was impressive. The waiter offered us water (with a complimentary choice of still or sparkling) all around and the way that they all presented themselves in pouring our drinks were quite the service. Our waters were constantly filled even when it was only half way. They even poured the rest of my cider when I drank just enough to fill up my cup again. The waiter who served us brought different cuts of meat and explained the different types of meats we could get. He offered recommendations as well to preferences we may have had. Very informative to any questions we had.
Everyone else on my table got steak but me of course. I got the Roasted Chicken Sandwich with a side of Portobello Fries & Herb Aioli. All our entrees came with potato chips as a side. As much as I love potato chips, these were too salty for me. The chicken was tasty, the sauces made the sandwich more flavorful. The portobello fries is a must! It was really good with the aoli sauce that complemented the perfectly battered crisp fries. It was the highlight of my meal. It has a unique taste to it but its full of flavor.
But really, if you’re a steak lover, this would be the place for you as it’s well known for their steak cuts. They also came out with a complimentary dessert for our friend who was celebrating her birthday and so we all sang for her. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a nice place and atmosphere to celebrate something special.
Btw, use the sea salt scrub in the bathroom, it’s makes your skin so soft! Fancy bathroom for a fancy restaurant. The view outside overlooked the big beautiful Christmas tree out in the courtyard. Go outside and take a picture as it makes for a great background during the holidays!

I’ve been here twice now for Sunday Brunch and had a great experience both times. When I first walked it, I was a little taken aback because it almost seemed like the interior was unfinished. As we waited to be seated, a server came and offered us a sample of their turkey deli-​meat. At first, I was a bit confused, then I noticed that they are also a butcher shop.
The second floor, where the dining room and outdoor patio seating are located is gorgeous. It is a wide open space with a lot of white. It feels very sunny, a perfect ambiance for a Sunday brunch.
The service is always great and we never had to wait for refills or too long for food. Both times I ordered the eggs benedict, which comes pretty traditional except they also add a layer of sauteed spinach, which is a perfect compliment to the dish. There is a bottomless mimosa, and they are quick to refill you as soon as you reach halfway. I love that they bring you a carafe of OJ so that you can determine yourself how much OJ you want in your mimosa.
This and one other place in town are tied for my favorite Sunday Brunch location. If you love brunch, Echo and Rig is a MUST.

Shout out to Ricky for reminding me why I LOVE dining here!
The night started a bit slow when we had to wait a little after our reservation time and it took a while for us to get our first glasses of water, but Ricky was nothing short of attentive and filled our glasses without us having to ask first.
New review on the new/​revised menu items:
1) Alaskan Cod: fluffy, white fish cooked to perfection. It’s served with a buttered crostini that crunch-​ily melts in your mouth.
2) The Spencer Steak: This was on the menu before, I had just never tried it. This, I kid you not, was the best steak ribeye I’ve had to date. Perfectly charred, juicy, with a flawless pink center.
3) Hawaiian Ahi Poke: First time trying this menu item. I can be weird about my raw fish, but this. was. stellar. Not overly saucy and served with the perfect amount of seaweed and cucumber. Tasted like it had been marinating for days! I didn’t lose any flavor as I bit into it.
4) Portabello fries: still
Stellar service and even more spectacular food… hope to make it to Echo and Rig’s brunch soon!

This place was very, very nice. One of the nicest places I’ve been to in a while and my Dad and his lady took my boyfriend and I out to dinner. We had an amazing sunset dinner, on the balcony. I had a piece of skirt steak I believe it was just alright I wasn’t crazy about it and side of asparagus.
The setting, the food, and the atmosphere really made this an enjoyable dinner while visiting in town for the week.
Our table ordered everything from the Steak Tartare, to the Portobello Fries, to the thick bacon with bbq sauce which the bacon was made in house (it was the BEST bacon I’ve ever had). my boyfriend loves the Oysters too, and the men had the Butterfish and were raving about it.

Very nice place to have brunch. There are some really tasty dishes and I had trouble deciding on what to get. I’m gonna have to return again just to try more stuff.
Service was excellent and it had a very nice, modern feel to the place. I was eyeing the fresh steaks they had downstairs at the butchery also. That Tomahawk cut looks killer… I’m digressing so I’ll stop here.

Decently yummy. Avocado bread. Get it!
I had quinoa salad stuff. It was good. Little bland but I realize it was a healthier option. Fiancé got short rib hash, which was very tasty. Having both was a good balance. Wait staff pretty attentive. They were quick to refill the teas and coffees. Clean! Bright!
