    Dining outside patio and yard.
    Christie B.

    The outside dining area is so nice and it has fans that blow to keep you cool. All of our food was delicious. Our service was great. I recommend the meatballs for an appetizer. There is street parking.

    My 2nd visit to ECCO. Beautiful restaurant nestled in the Overton Park neighborhood. Great wine selection and the food is so yummy. I love the bar and the family style atmosphere.

    Peach cobbler and tiramisu

    I have been here for many years. The foods are always spot on! Most dishes the flavor, profile, and texture are to perfection. The beef stroganoff is very salty. Maybe it is just me! The tiramisu is on the denser side. But the crab claws is a must have! The service is usually very fast and attentive! Kevin is great! The place can be very loud and the do have outdoor sitting.

    Massive bummer. Came back for our engagement celebration and the garden room had a whole table full of people, loud people. I'd advise against reserving there if you're noise sensitive like me. Inside is better and they had a guitarist playing ambient music. I asked the waitress if she can do anything about it, which of course it's fine if they can't. It's just the attitude of the waitress upset me when she told me "I can't do anything about people's volume" smiling at the same time. Not even "I'm sorry about the noise." Just rubbed me the wrong way. Or at least could i be seated inside because it wasn't busy that day and I didn't see any reservation signs either. Idk it was just miserable for me, won't choose that room ever again. Need acoustic panels or something. Also the food. I got the beef tenderloin; which was small. I don't care about the meat quality of a tenderloin. You can make it tastes as great as a ribeye with proper cooking techniques. Having it be almost $50 with potatoes and brussel sprouts makes me really ponder why the meat is marketed that expensive. I may give it another go in the far future. Sit inside, see what's new on the menu. I've had their seafood pasta for Valentine's Day and I still think about it. I even had my college graduation here. I'm giving it two stars because I don't have the heart to give it a 1 star from my past experiences. I know my triggers are my responsibility but I didn't account that a party of 12 could possibly be seated there.

    Another delicious evening, but this time with a guitar player on the back patio. Excellent!!!

    Pan roasted chicken...the chicken was cooked perfectly. I was lost on the tomatoes as they add nothing to the dish. Gravy was excellent.

    The menu isn't vast, but they have an excellent wine selection and all day happy hour on Tuesdays. A quality selection that makes most envy. The ambience was relaxed and upscale, but surprisingly busy and louder than expected, but not offensively so retracting. Service was excellent. Reservations are advised and there is a very of seating options.

    Beef stroganoff
    Hanna N.

    Ecco has one of my favorite meals ever - their beef stroganoff is soooo delicious with beef and mushrooms for every bite. The back patio area is super cute as well - perfect for a date night.

    Ecco is a great local spot for contemporary fine dining. It gives hipster vibes. Very midtown. The cocktails are some of the best in town. Their mushroom pasta is always incredible. Service is great. I'll admit, I've had some undercooked lamb and some unset panna cotta here. Overall though it was always a great experience so I'll definitely be back.

    So happy we live nearby this delicious spot! We finally made it over to ECCO on a Friday night. We were greeted and offered a table on the patio even though we didn't have a reservation. It was just about sundown and it was a lovely spot to sit and watch the dusk settle in. Our waitress was very nice and well-informed about the menu. I also loved that gluten free options were labeled already. I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and my husband and gin & tonic. They were both great. We had the brussel sprouts for a starter and they were the perfect blend of sweet and savory with a little bit of crisp to them. I had the Honey Roasted Carrots as an entree and I did not leave a bit of it on my plate. The title of the dish may not sounds like much but the carrots, honey, pesto, and hummus combine together to create a delectable dish! My husband had a pasta dish and when it came out, he realized he should have gotten the half size. It was massive and he loved it! We boxed up half and he finished it off the next day. I can't wait to come back soon!

    This place is always busy, if you can make a reservation, do it! We got to sit at the bar and the service was awesome. A little loud off a place I would say, but not a big deal for me. I got the mushroom pasta and it was delicious, and a great list of wine by the glass. I will be back to try more of the menu.

    Hawaaian Ribeye RAW.

    Honest and detailed review. I've been to Ecco four times (including today) total since 2021. It's been a 50% success ratio on flavor and service. Whether they were understaffed OR the food was just bland needing flavor (salt). The two times that Ecco was good, it was really great! Today was a complete fail and I think will be my last time going to Ecco. I came in for the Hawaiian Ribeye that was advertised on their IG. It looked immaculate, I was blown away. I come in to order it, waiter told me there may only be one left. She found out it was and it was mine. So the ribeye comes out with the butter on top. Looks GOOD. I saved room and didn't eat lunch with the expectation of being blown away. I ignored the fact that the ribeye was somewhat flat. Cut into it and it is RAW. I always eat medium rare, it's the only way to eat a steak! This was RAW. The Brussel sprouts were the best thing on the plate! Actually really good. The potatoes were devoid of flavor, I couldn't even taste the parm. No salt at all. The ribeye was a pretty rubbish cut. I can go to Sam's and purchase a thick, fat ribeye for $36 dollars or a Wagyu Strip from Kroger for $30. $42 for a cut that I probably could get at Chili's. I don't ask for comps on meals. The server was great, I tipped her 25% for being so kind. I ate the food they brought back out reheated just because I was hungry. It sucks that management didn't even come out to apologize for this awful blip. I think some Memphis restaurants are comfortable because they've been here for a while. The people who come to eat food are looking for quality eats. I'm not asking for Michelin star, I've had plenty of that. Just give us the quality food AND service we know that Memphis food can provide.

    Not great, but not bad either. Really appreciated the Salad Lyonnaise which isn't common on menus (reminded us of our time in Lyon)... The worst part of our meal was the service. Slow, unpredictable, unfriendly, inconsistent... The second worst was the ambiance. That little outhouse we ate in was dirty. Flies everywhere... Memphis restaurants... lemme tell you. But we did have some really good food here. I mentioned the salad. The stroganoff was tasty. Excellent bucatini and a really good mushroom pasta. They botched a risotto which is about as easy to make as any Italian dish (how do you even botch that). Overall, we wouldn't go back. But this place is popular so they don't need our patronage...

Went with my mother and sister while we were staying nearby attending a wedding party in Bartlett. Read about Catherine and Mary's online and decided to give it a shot based on pics and reviews. As soon as we stepped inside we were warmly greeted and made to feel at home. I must say here that my sister has a small disorder such that it's hard for her to talk in complete sentences, and she has a notable stutter. This means she also experiences a great deal of social anxiety. She felt so welcomed that she hardly stuttered while we were there, and when we left she said, "This was such a good place for people like me." I loved that they made me and my mom welcome, but am doubly grateful that you went out of your way to make my sister so happy. She really felt like you treated her like an old friend. My sister has a speech problem, but she's not mentally disabled (in fact she's an electrical engineer). So the kindness was not lost on her, and I know this will be a place we'll look forward to when we visit family in the Memphis area. Thank you so much for the excellent food and the awesome vibes!

I understand not every place has to be, but when a place offers something for kids, it just makes the dining experience even better for me. They were out of the kids cheese pizza, but our waiter did a cheese flatbread for my son. I mean, that alone was good, but my entree was the best! I had the basil pesto tortellini. All the flavors came together perfectly in it. Highly recommend! My husband got the bbq chicken flatbread, one of the best flatbreads we've had. Seriously! As an appetizer, we got the baked spinach dip. It had so much flavor and pairing it with those house made tortilla chips were just the extra it needed. The only thing that was disappointing was the tiramisu. We have had better. The espresso flavor just wasn't enough for my liking. We'll be back for sure! Maybe a date night for dinner.

After leaving a nearby bar, our group stopped in simply looking for food. The restaurant was virtually empty, yet the manager, Charles, insisted that if any of us sat near one another, we would be considered one large party and could only have one check. I explained that we had no problem sitting at separate tables, and each table would gladly have a single check. That should have solved the issue. Instead, Charles instructed an inexperienced and unprofessional server to scatter us throughout the restaurant and warned that if we interacted between tables, we would still be treated as one party. From a management standpoint, this decision made no sense. Rather than maximizing an opportunity to generate significant revenue, leadership chose to create unnecessary obstacles. Ironically, spreading us throughout the restaurant would have required opening multiple sections, increasing the workload on servers and support staff instead of simplifying operations. Leadership sets the tone for a business. Good managers solve problems and create positive guest experiences. They don't create barriers that send paying customers elsewhere. At the end of the day, every business has one primary objective: to generate revenue while providing excellent customer service. Unfortunately, this experience demonstrated poor judgment, inflexible leadership, and a missed opportunity to earn the business of 24 guests who simply wanted a meal. I hope Curfew reevaluates this approach because customer service, common sense, and hospitality should always work together.

We got raw oysters to start and chose the seasonal preparation. It was almost like frozen lemonade crème fresh, but with the brine of the oysters it just worked. Would def order again! We started with a whiskey sour and AM old fashioned. Both great but mine was so good my husband ordered another round of them for us before we got a bottle of red. I don't recall what bottle it was but it worked perfectly as it wasn't too heavy and swung easily from apps/pasta/entrees. Then we opted into the blind tasting menu. 5 courses, chosen from the menu that you don't know what you're getting until it touches the table. My husband and I are pretty adventurous as far as food goes so it was perfect for us. No shit- Everything was amazing. I loved the tasting menu as it was not any dishes we were considering and I am so glad we got to try things we wouldn't have otherwise. For example, the little asparagus appetizer was the best thing we ate, on God. Like, what in the actual F ! The kind of magic they created with those little green veggies was out of this world --I didn't even want to swallow it was that delicious. There was some kind of fish crudo with beet and kumquat relish. Weird and so good! We also had some pasta with a lemon-y butter sauce and spinach and then a chicken entree. I was getting so full by the time entrees came I ate less than half of it but the skin was crispy, chicken was cooked to perfection and husband finished them both. Now yall, the dessert was a heavenly little pot of rich chocolate with a caramel base and crunchy honeycomb crisp on top. I was so full I couldn't finish it but my husband finished his and then mine.
