Steakhouse
With Echo & Rig Chef Sam Marvin has introduced a pioneering new concept transforming the long-held theories behind the steakhouse formula.

We put a unique nose-to-tail spin on the traditional steakhouse, allowing diners to indulge in the best cuts of meat for incredibly approachable prices.

A butcher before a steakhouse, we use every part of the animal. We care about every animal - how it lived, what it ate, and how it was cared for.

Our 7,000 square foot space is located in the Downtown Commons Neighborhood (DOCO) in the lobby of The Sawyer Hotel. Situated on the bustling J Street corridor facing the Golden 1 Center main entrance.

We have a versatile space: a private dining room with audio/visual capability, an outdoor patio, and an outdoor bar available for rent.

    Consistently excellent food and service! Though Echo&Rig specializes in steak, I absolutely love the branzino. In addition to the entree, I usually order the fried spinach salad and portobello fries.

    Service was slow. It took 15 mins for the server to bring me water let along take a drink order. The wine came slow, the crab cake was horrid (at only $14, I should have known better), my medium-rare steak was overcooked and flavorless, the mac-n-cheese barely above box level. To top it off, I had to ask the server to light the candle that was lit on every other table. The only saving grace is that this was not nearly as expensive as other “high end” steakhouses I’ve patronized. Two stars is generous.

    One of the best places for a customer Wow experience. We dine out a lot and by far this place practices guest standards and delivers on their food experience. We had steaks, the Spencer and fillet mignon were cooked to perfection, the sides are all amazing!!! Must try, of course the chef is the guy who beat Bobby Flay!!!

    The one entre that we all wanted was the steak and there was no steak to be had. The service was incredibly slow; asked four times for two water glasses to be filled: they never were. I ordered the 1/2” bacon; what I received was a skewer with 1/8” thick bacon: tiny pieces which were not what the menu stated. I had eaten here before and was looking forward to returning. What a disappointment!

    This is the first time ever I am leaving a review, only because this place really deserves it. Came here for the first time last summer with my son, who was returning to college. It was excellent. My son said it was his favorite steakhouse. I would have given it 5 stars. Came back tonight after seeing our first Kings game of the season, and the service was straight garbage. Our waiter took 30 seconds to take our order; did not bother to explain anything, and wanted our entire order all at once - salad, appetizer, sides, entrees. He only helped us once more - to get our second drink order after our first drinks sat empty for 15 minutes. During this 15 minutes, he walked past us at least 3 times. I could go on about how terrible he was, but I won’t. I will also mention that we were the only dark-skinned people seated for dinner - take what you want from that; I know what I believe. I should have gone to Outback, or even Appelbees. Dollar-for-dollar easily the worst service I have ever had.

    Unfortunately the steak was underwhelming but everything else was great. Service was great as usual and every dish was perfect with the exception of the Spencer steak. It was a little overdone pat my preference and the accompanying steak sauce missed its mark as well. Everything else was impeccable

    The food was perfect but definitely over priced. The location definitely makes it a premium meal at premium prices. Q1227 is better and has better energy but when we stay at the sawyer for a show or game, this is where to eat. Just know a lot of hotel traffic does kinda kill the vibe a touch.

    The website is not clear on a lot of things. The brunch menu was super small and every food item we ordered was mediocre. We also thought they had a meat market, which they do not. The steak sandwich was raw, which is weird bc they specialize in steaks.

    It was my first time to dine here. Management came by and introduced themselves. Anthony, the waiter, provided impeccable service and recommendations. The steaks, cauliflower, bone marrow, and wine were delicious. A tasting of the mushroom soup was brought out. I liked how it elevated the mushroom, rather than it being drowned out with cream. Anthony brought out salted caramel ice cream on the house. Easily the best I’ve had. It was a wonderful experience and we shall return.

    After seeing such great reviews we decided to try Echo and Rig. Unfortunately we did not have the most pleasant experience. We had reservations and were seated right away but that was the only thing that was quick and efficient. We sat for over an hour before we got our food. Not to mention it took a very long time for us to order drinks and food. Our waiter was not attentive to us whatsoever. He seemed to play favoritism to his regulars while leaving us to fend for ourselves. We did have a busboy that helped out a lot more than our waiter did. I’m highly disappointed in my experience especially for the price that I paid. I expected top tier service and this place was a far miss. Also the food was just “okay” no wow factor. Steaks were not seasoned properly and everything came out lukewarm as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period of time. Unfortunately due to the negative experience with this waiter I don’t think I would ever return.

    Echo & Rig is at DOCO "inside" the Kimpton Sawyer hotel, but also accessible from the pedestrian walk that continues on from K Street past the Golden 1 Center. Because of this, it's worth noting when game and event times are if you want to avoid parking/traffic/crowd madness. We started with a sharable salad, and the salad dressing had a fresh herb flavor that was delightful, and the crispy chicken on top cooked was to perfection, served promptly so it was still crispy and hot. For the entrée we shared a 12 oz. ribeye (they do the butchering themselves) and found it to be tender and quite flavorful. Not quite reaching the heights of a 28-day dry-aged rib eye, but still quite good. I mentioned that it was our anniversary when being seated and the attentive staff made us feel really special. Recommend for an occasion dinner or a splurge before an event at the Golden 1 Center.

    Our food and service were excellent but there was a large group (8-10) right next to us who were very rude and loud and kept scooting their chairs in to our immediate space and swearing loudly and using very crass speech about sucking d***. Disgusting group of people. Too bad that it had to affect our experience because Echo & Rig is one of our favorite go-to spots.

    Waited in the valet parking line for 15 mins before being told I could not valet unless I was staying at the hotel. Food was mediocre, over seasoned. Steak not prepared at the correct temp and took quite some time to arrive. Staff was pleasant and attentive but unfortunately the experience overall did not justify the cost.
