by Omar Rummler on Kudos to you, Lime. Only you could combine brunch and clubbing into an awesome, epic experience with bottomless mimosas for $7 and hot waiters. P.S. Your frittatas are foodgasmic. Bacon + gouda + spinach? A party in my mouth indeed! **Pro tip: Call ahead and make rezzies, or (unsurprisingly) expect a 1 hour wait for brunch!**
by Jacques Tappeiner on Im going to keep this one simple - The wait time was a bit rediculous even with reservations, luckily the cocktails were so amazing and delicous that we forgot we waited 45 minutes. I kind of expected this though with it being so popular. I havent seen anyone mention this in glancing the other reviews but they actually cook on a wood fire grill :) That is just pure awesomeness in itself. I ordered the pork loin which was simple and perfectly cooked with endives on the side. I tried my friends scallops as well and even she agreed that they quite possibly were some of the best weve had to date. Good job WFG !
by Tom D. on My first review! I've just moved down to Atlanta from New York and my girlfriend had been meaning to check out Ecco. We had a party of 6 and made reservations for 9 PM on a Friday. If you thought Ecco would be quieting down by that point in the night, you'd be wrong. The place was hopping before, during and even after we finished our meal. Now everyone else in the restaurant was dressed rather nicely but our group wasn't dressed to the nines and it did not seem to be a big deal at all. For Full disclosure, we also had coupons for buy one get one free entree which is a fabulous deal. Our waiter was very friendly and pleasant although perhaps misinformed on some of the food as I will describe later. Our table started off with some Coppa (cured ham) and some aged Gouda, both of which were amazing. The Coppa was super tender and soft and I love cheese and the Gouda did not disappoint. As for the main course, each person in the party ordered their own "entree". I have celiac's disease meaning I cannot have food with wheat, rye, barely or oats. I asked the waiter about two items on the menu: the roasted pork with tomato and rosemary and the Roasted organic chicken thighs with salsa verde. The waiter asked if I had a gluten intolerance (Awesome!) and then mentioned that the roasted pork had flour involved and that the chicken thighs did not so that made my order fairly simply. The chicken thighs and salsa verde were very good, perfectly cooked and the salsa verde added a nice cool taste, with a little bit of bite to the dish. Everyone else also seemed to enjoy their meals as well with the Trofie (pasta) with pesto, olives, pole beans and potato taking the cake for most MMM's. Overall with the coupons in place, dinner was incredibly cheap but even if we did not have the coupons the meals would not have broken the bank and were cheap compared to prices seen in New York. For the negative, about 2 hours after the meal, I started having a gluten reaction (a horrible stomach ache that lasts on average about half a day) (Celiac FAIL). Now I don't know what caused the reaction and the waiter very well might have been right about there being no gluten and my reaction was caused by cross contamination. Either way it was somewhat of a let down after a nice meal as I am much more cautious about going to Ecco again. Overall, a very good meal for not a ridiculous price but if you have celiac's disease be cautious and more vigilant than I was in making sure your food is gluten free.
