Echo & Rig Steakhouse & Butcher Shop Awards

Echo & Rig Steakhouse & Butcher Shop Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Like the original Echo & Rig location in Tivoli Village, there’s an old school butcher shop near the entrance, with a good selection of Prime cuts to take home. The dining room has an elegant, yet comfortable vibe, with white curtains, brass chandeliers, colorful stained-glass pillars and eggshell-hued booths.

Food & Drinks: Ten cuts of Prime beef are offered, including the familiar rib-eye, NY, filet mignon, hanger and rib-eye cap; less recognized bavette, Spencer, coulotte, outside skirt and Zabuton; and bone-in cuts of porterhouse, tomahawk, T-Bone, NY and F1 Wagyu. The steaks are cooked on a wood-fire grill burning white oak and are accompanied with buttermilk fried onions and mushroom Rockefeller. For the non-beef eater there are pan-fried potato gnocchi with fried peas and mint pesto; sweet fire cauliflower with brown sugar and Fresno chili; drunken goat sandwich with red wine-marinated goat cheese, brie and cranberry green apple; and unique protein offerings including Mediterranean seabass with Castelvetrano olive oil dipping sauce, swordfish with oven-dried tomato salsa and pasture raised chicken with red wine grits. Sweet finales include berry shortcake sundae with macerated berry sauce, house-baked shortbread and candied hibiscus flower; and fresh baked grand soufflé with Grand Marnier, vanilla, Chantilly cream, house-made marshmallow fluff and chocolate fudge sauce.
