Overall, my dining experience at this restaurant, was mixed. While it's a nice hangout spot for dinner and drinks with friends, I was disappointed with several aspects. Firstly, the wait time was too long for food to be served and there was no bread provided for the table to munch on while waiting. Additionally, the steak orders were messed up and the server forgot a few drink orders. Also the servers never came to refill our water. Service was just very poor. For the two stars. - On the bright side when the food finally appeared the oysters were fresh and delicious, and the bone marrow carne asada was very flavorful and it is a must-order dish. read more

Echo & Rig - Oysters on the shell - Steakhouses Near Me - Sacramento, California

Visited Echo & Rig with my parents before a Kings game for my birthday. Parked in the DOCO garage since I prepaid the parking for the game and walked over. Before parking I dropped my parents off at the front of the Sawyer so they didn't have to park far so when I got to the restaurant, they were already seated. Upon my arrival, my parents were already looking at the menu, and our waiter greeted me as I sat down and greeted me a happy birthday. He gave us a few minutes to look through the menu and we ended up ordering the following: -Two burgers with fries (mine and my dad's) -Ora King salmon (mom) -Asparagus & Poached Egg, Prosciutto (shared) Shortly after ordering, our waiter surprised us with their sweet fire cauliflower. Now, Im not a huge fan of cauliflower because usually when I have it, it's dry but their sweet fire cauliflower lives up to its name: fire. It was so good. After we finished it, I wanted more. Should have gotten some more lol. Our waiter also brought some bread out. I mean you can't really go wrong with bread; most of the time, but it was good bread lol. Once we finished that, our entrees came out. The burger was also really good. Decent size and had lots of flavor. Fries were hot and crispy; just the way I like them. Had a bite of mom's salmon, also pretty good. After we finished our meals, our waiter brought out a little sweet treat for my birthday. It was ice cream with cake bites and some fruit. That was also delicious. Overall, 5 stars all around. It's a beautiful restaurant in the heart of DOCO with excellent service and delicious food. What else can you ask for? Great first visit at Echo & Rig. My parents and I are fans. We will be back again! read more

I don't know where to begin but this restaurant is everything you would want when you're going out to eat at a nice place. The food is out of this world. The service is outstanding. We came last night with a party of 9 for my daughters birthday dinner. We or the Mac and cheese, asparagus and poached egg prosciutto, pork belly burnt ends, wood fired octopus celery leaves and castelvatranos, and portabella fries as appetizers. I ordered the Spencer steak with chips and the others ordered the hamburger, swordfish just to name a few. Everything was delicious. Our waitress Kim was so nice and patient with us. We didn't feel rushed and she was very attentive to our group. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday dinner a hit!!!! read more

Been to this steakhouse a few times before putting this up, and I must say the space and service are always really nice every time. The full bar is our first stop, so we can get the night started. The drinks are made well, and we always get a couple of drinks with our meal. I have gotten a couple of different cuts here, and my least favorite was the rib cap. It is not a large portion and not as flavorful as expected. A solid cut is the rib eye or strip just enough and not a bad choice. Always cooked well and flavorful to the last bite. The sides were really good. Oysters are clean and fresh. The carrots are fire and a must. Roasted to perfection and sweet and savory. Mashed potatoes, brussels, broccolini, mac and cheese, portobello, and regular fries are solid. All flavorful and definitely no leftovers. The location really makes this spot as it is perfect when going to a Kings game. read more

Yum! This was a quick walk from the AC hotel. It is located inside a hotel. I booked a reservation through the Marriott app for some bonus points. The steaks are all charred (yum!). The steak was tender and buttery. Each steak comes with a sauce - I elected for the horseradish cream sauce (yum again!). The servers were attentive. The broccolini was delicious. read more

This was my second time eating here, it was very busy so we sat at window bar, but we liked the view, it was fun people watching while having dinner. The service is always good, I've had ribeye, bacon, portobello mushroom fries, pork belly, all delicious, and this time I tried something different Bavette cut but it was very salty, I wouldn't prob order this steak again. And I discovered that they have pisco sour, I'd only had this in Miami so I had to get it (without syrup), it was really good so I had another one. I recommend this place if you are in the mood for a lively casual steak house. read more

Our server Micah was incredible. He paid attention to every single detail. He paid attention to my nut allergy, which a lot of servers don't do. He was attentive, friendly, and great at his job. The food was amazing. My partner got the Spencer steak( Micah's recommendation) & loved it. He checked on us just enough. You can tell that he really loves his job & taking care of guests. I would recommend this restaurant for the amazing food, but especially for the staff. read more

went for a quick bite on a monday around noon time and was seated right away. the restaurant itself is connected to a hotel and they do offer valet parking for $15 for the first hour, additional $6 per hour after, and capped at $40. they're known for the steak but was feeling something lighter for lunch this time as i was also going to go back to work afterwards. you can tell the lettuce was fresh, the grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly and complemented the dressing, and i really enjoyed the salad and dressing ratio. not too much salad and not too much dressing. i would love to come again to try out their steaks one day! read more

I was visiting Sactown and looked up the best restaurants online and Echo and Rig showed up on a couple of lists and had reservations available the same day and away we went. It is inside Hotel Sawyer which is a nice hotel. The restaurant itself has a nice modern decor. The manager came by to chat and it was a nice touch to see him debrief with our waiter who picked up the conversation from where the manager let off. You could tell that the entire staff was well coordinated and they run a tight ship here. Apparently, this is a chef-owned restaurant and is known for its steaks. They also apparently get a nice flow of celebrity clientele. The night we were there, there were a lot of NBA players there. Michael Porter Jr was sitting at the table next to us and there were several other Nuggets players there. The food was mixed. The quick-fried spinach salad was good and had a kick to it. The brussels sprouts were good but I am yet to have bad brussels sprouts anywhere. They have some unique cuts and steak sourced from high-quality sources around the world. I got the bavette cut and asked for medium and it came rare. Actually it was cooked well outside but was very rare outside. I think the grill was too hot and everyone's order was undercooked as well. One person in the party who asked for rare had her steak severely undercooked. When she mentioned this to the waiter, they took the steak and brought it back after cooking it longer. I was expecting them to give her a fresh cut but it was the same piece of steak which I thought was strange and a little disappointing. The caramel sundae was very good. The berry dessert was meh. Overall, a just OK experience. Tip - You can validate your parking if you park in the garage under the hotel. read more

Came to Echo and Rig for brunch with friends and it was a good time! I didn't even know they had brunch since it was a steakhouse but glad a friend recommended it! We ordered the Echo and Rig Mimosas which came with a bottle of champagne and two choices of juices. We ordered the pineapple juice and grapefruit juice. We also ordered the Short Rib Hash, Farmers Market and Short Rib grilled cheese with homemade garlic chips. We also had to get a side of kennebec fries that came with homemade dill ranch and ketchup. The dill ranch was soooo good!!! And all of the entrees were generous in portion, fresh, filled with flavor and exceeded our expectations. In addition to the food being fabulous, the ambience and decor was beautiful and the service was EXCEPTIONAL! Our server was attentive, always came by to check in and fill our water glasses and she also refilled our mimosas and provided suggestions on menu items. The manager also checked in several times which was really great! I can't wait to come back and try lunch, dinner, happy hour and brunch again! read more

I visited your Sacramento location yesterday for dinner. I ordered a rib eye steak medium rare which was tough. Ive have eaten many rib eyes and know what they taste like and their texture. I enjoy rib eyes for their flavor and tenderness. Your steak fell far short from this. At the end of our meal my wife told the waitress my steak was tough and she said she would tell the chef. After we left I asked our friend who also order the rib eye (rare) how his steak was and he said it was tough and not worth $50. Does anyone in your kitchen taste the meat? I have had far better steaks at Ruth Chris, Morton's and even at Texas Road House for half the price. I will not vist your restaurant again. I do want you place to be sucessful that is why I am providing feedback. I expect nothing in return. Thank you. read more

Flew in for work, one of the only steakhouses open for lunch. Ordered a hanger steak, with a fried spinach salad. This was amazing for lunch, and highly recommend this place for fantastic steaks and salads. It's right next to the Kings Stadium. Can't wait to come back to Sacramento to eat here again. read more

My husband and I went for dinner and wow, it was amazing. Everything we had was a 10/10. To start, their bread was fresh and DELICIOUS. We also had Shrimp Cocktail, the Pork Chop, Filet, Roasted Carrots, and Mashed Potatoes. Literally every bite was perfect. We highly recommend! The prices weren't bad for a good higher end meal. We paid $140 for what ended up being a lot of food! Would definitely go back for dinner. read more

Where do I begin?! I booked this place for a birthday and it was our first time visiting. The ambiance was very relaxed walking in and we were greeted by friendly faces. Once we were sat, we were approached by the manager who wanted to introduce himself to us and engage in a conversation. He let us know our server was fantastic and would be with us shortly. Not long after, we were greeted Micah. We let him know it was our first time and he gave us wonderful recommendations, along with his knowledge on the steaks. We decided to start off with the Carne Asade Bone Marrow and it was the first time ever trying bone marrow. The pairing of every ingredient on the dish was an absolutely great way to begin our dinner. We then ordered the Bavette steak with chimichurri sauce, the Spencer steak with brandied mushrooms (per Micah's recommendation), and Mac and cheese to share. I also ordered the Purple Rain cocktail and got that quickly. It was their version of a sidecar and I really enjoyed it. When our food finally arrived, we couldn't wait to dig in. The first initial bite, I was blown away. Everything was so flavorful from the steak, to the sauce, and to the Mac and cheese. 1000/10 recommend getting these dishes, everything was so good. During our visit, there also was a male busser who was running around, refilling water, and checking on tables. I wish I remembered his name but he mentioned he was new and I wanted to shout him out for his hard work too! I was kind of hoping for a little birthday surprise for my partner since he had a terrible day and I seen plenty of reviews where people would ice cream or even bubbles. I guess they chose to skip on him unfortunately. Overall, it was still a great way to end off our week & we decided to finish off with dessert elsewhere :) read more

We've been to echo and rig a few times for lunch and a few times for dinner. The steak and food is always tasty. Sometimes the service can be slow, but always friendly. It can get busy when there are events at the G1 center, so make sure you have reservations on those days. They validate parking which is Leah's a plus. read more

The space is gorgeous with tall ceiling and tables spaced apart allowing for more privacy. This was our first time here and decided to ask for recommendations from the staff. For drinks we had the "Pig and The Lady" signature cocktail. It was tart, taste and very well balanced. Highly recommend it. The bread and butter was a great touch with a hot sourdough loaf and creamy butter. The main course was also superb! The Lamb Porterhouse Chop was done perfectly for me as I prefer it to be medium well. The sides were very complimentary and portioned well. Definitely we are going back! read more

The food is not good here. Steak burned and raw at the same time with no seasoning of flavor. Cesar salad tasted like bag salad from Safeway. Mushroom soup under seasoned. The goated sandwich was pretty good so I'm giving 2. They were slammed and service was slow but our server was super nice. We really liked her. Pretty place tho it's a shame. read more

Had an amazing dinner at Echo & Rig tonight, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Jorge. He seriously made the whole experience. From the start, he was welcoming and helped me navigate the menu -- his recommendations were on point (especially with the bone marrow and mushrooms). You could tell he knew what he was talking about, but he explained everything in a personable way. What I appreciated most was how on top of things he was without hovering. Drinks were always full, food came out perfectly timed, and he checked in just enough to make sure we were good. It's rare to get this type of service so I really appreciated it. The food at Echo & Rig is already fantastic, but Jorge took it to the next level. If you get the chance, definitely ask for him -- you'll be in good hands. read more

Going to keep this short and sweet! This was our second visit to the restaurant and it was just as good as the first. The good: - Amazing 5/5 service! From entering the restaurant, we received a warm greeting from the host staff and then one of the floor managers (Sean,Shaun, Shawn?) stopped by and welcomed us back to Echo & Rig. The floor staff didn't let me see the bottom of my water glass. - Food 5/5: Everything we ordered was fantastic except for the Belgium Endive salad which was a little bitter. Aside from that we ordered, the porterhouse to share, the burger which is made with ground ribeye, the chicken breast, the portobello fries which were awesome, garlic mash that was extra tasty and garlicky, the pineapple upside down cake and the berry shortcake. Food was so good I only remembered to take a picture of the steak. Seriously. The meh: - Restaurant's bar program could use a level up. First the bar ran out of cucumber for the Echo Tonic and then also ran out of sweet vermouth for a Manhattan. I ended up going with an old fashioned which wasn't very refined. There either wasn't enough sugar added or it was stirred too long (probably a little of both). It tasted off enough to not really taste like an old fashioned yet not bad enough to send it back. I actually remember having a similar issue with the cocktails during my first visit. Lesson learned. Stick to straight pours of whisk(e)y or do wine! read more

I hosted a business dinner at E&R this week. It was a good experience. First, It's a beautiful restaurant within a kimpton hotel (I forgot the name of the hotel). Acoustics are not good, I could only communicate with the 4 people around me. I couldn't hear our other 4 guests. Eric was our server. He did a nice job. The restaurant was very well ran. The food was good, but not great. While I enjoyed my Ahi tuna frites dish, a few of the guests who ordered ribeyes were underwhelmed with their steaks. This is a good date night restaurant or for inviting another couple. It's way too noisy for a business dinner. read more

I came back here for dinner and it was delicious. We had no reservations and I'm happy the hostess was kind enough to sit us at one of their smaller tables.

This is a love letter to Echo & Rig. I'm writing this while salivating over my leftovers from last night. Not to be dramatic, but every moment was fantastic. The hostess was friendly and able to get us a table pretty quickly. The bartender made the best dirty martini I've had in a while - and he even used castelvetrano olives! We ordered the cauliflower (crispy and tangy), mac and cheese (crispy onions on top omg!), and mashed potatoes (creamy) - all absolutely delicious. I had the New York Strip (medium rare) and it was perfection - flavorful and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Still salivating. Paired it with a Malbec. The manager even stopped by to greet us, which was a nice touch. The cherry on top was our server, Sebastian! He was prompt, professional, warm & friendly. Ambiance was comfortable, up-scale but not stuffy. I wish I had photos, but I was clearly too enamored with the experience. In conclusion, this seems to be a really well-run restaurant. HIGHLY recommend! P.S. Please give Sebastian a kiss on the forehead or a free steak or something. read more

There were 2 bartenders on. Lemec the one that served me might need to go find a different job. Not attentive, so dry and just not the best service at all. The other bartender that was behind the bar when I sat down never even acknowledged me. After nearly 15 mins wondering if anyone is going to greet me Lemec came back from the back and finally I was able to get a drink in. I love the ambiance here but service definitely lacks. Even listening to the bartender respond to other guests is rude and dry. Too bad this place takes advantage of them making money bc of Golden One. read more

Very late review, but needed to share my disappointment to possibly help others. If you're a place that specializes in steaks and you are a butcher then you should easily know the difference between what it means to cook a steak rare vs well done. Highly disappointed this time around as my initial steak came back WAY well done along with several others at the table. The steak knife struggled cutting through a dry brick!!! If you know anything about steak, you know that if you want it to be juicy and moist it cannot be cooked well-done... wait why am I explaining this as they should know how to cook a steak right the right way. We had a large group to celebrate my niece's birthday and there was also a high school graduation ceremony that took place so was pretty busy in the plaza. Again, disappointed in the quality of the steak that came out. I also noticed that my brother-in-law's steak & cousin's lamb chop was overcooked as well as the birthday girl's steak. That just made no sense... to have that many steaks not cooked or prepped correctly... Again, disappointing. I felt bad for the servers as they are delivering on the cooks from the kitchen and in short, they fell short on this special occasion for us. I spoke to the manager and shared my frustration and they recognized while trying to resolve it, but it took "forever" for the next round of steaks/food to come out and everyone was eating on their own and not as a group. Spent way too much for this type of service from a steak place. read more

One of the best spots to stop by before the kings game. Ordering oysters is always a must. The cocktails here are amazing as well, I can come here solely for these and be happy. Our server Anthony was amazing and goes above and beyond from start to finish. You can tell he loves what he does and is so passionate. When you walk in, you are greeted immediately. The atmosphere is always clean and the lighting is ambient. Staff is very professional and pleasant to talk to. Can't wait to come back read more

Walk in and everyone wonders if we're in the right place. It looks like an indoor parking lot. An art Deco parking lot, but a parking lot nevertheless. Their specialty? Burnt steak. Call it a "bark" if you want, it still tastes burnt. Horrible. read more

I was Excited to finally try out Echo & Rig Restaurant, but my excitement quickly turned to high dissatisfaction. My partner and I were seated quickly, I love the vib of the place , very chill and relaxing, seating was very comfortable. Staff were extremely polite and professional, manager introduced himself and we got our drinks very fast. Both my Friend and I ordered steaks , broccolini, burnt ends, mushroom soup and salad. I Hate to say it this way but the steak gets 1 star , this is some of the worse steak I had in a long time , I asked for medium but it came out well done , burned char on the outside, both steaks were like that. Mushroom soup was delicious and so was the salad very fresh. Burned ends were discussing will never order that again, drenched in sauce that was way overpowering. Overall I am giving this place a 3 star I wish I had better experience. read more

Echo and Rig is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy well made cocktails, delicious food, a top notch atmosphere and exceptional service. Anthony, our bartender when I visited, made some of the best old fashioned's that I've had in quite some time. Anthony's presentation added to the quality as well. Color me impressed! I didn't get to try all the food as we had visited another local establishment for dinner before the show, but we did try the crab cakes and they were delicious. I'll be back again soon to explore more of Echo and Rig's menu in the near future. read more

Great first time experience. Early 5pm reservation with my husband and kids, 3 and 1. Clean and welcoming environment very quiet for the early start of dinner service. Service and staff were accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. The fried spinach salad recommended to us was surprisingly delicious, great texture. Loved the cheesy mashed potatoes. Both salad and potatoes were enough for one shareable serving. Steaks were very good as well along with the mushroom and blue cheese sauces. Kids had chicken strips and butter cheese noodles both good. read more
