Reviews for Ecco on Overton Park in Memphis, TN
We had a reservation - we arrived and were seated in the Garden Room, which had an odor that ruined the dining experience as... soon as we sat down. After placing an order for a bottle of wine and 2 appetizers, we were informed the restaurant was out ofall pasta (8 pm on a Saturday evening). We decided to get the check which took an additional 30 minutes. The appetizers werefine but not enough to make up for this experience. Read more
Well, we were disappointed with the food (the drinks, service, and atmosphere were great!) - the lobster ravioli were pretty... bad, like not as good as frozen I fixed myself at home...they were in a watery, flavorless lemon sauce, we left most of them onthe plate. The scallop entree was three tiny scallops on wilted spinach, it did not seem like an entree and flavor was lacking.The highlight of the dinner was my daughter's Mahi on black rice with mango salsa, we all shared that dish. We also enjoyed thecharcuterie and the Nicoise salad. I was just very surprised that the pasta was so mediocre. Would not recommend. Read more
I?m a fan of the area. The evergreen community is gorgeous. Street parking is your best bet which is fine because we all could... use a nice walk sometimes. The atmosphere is really cool and causal, good for a date night, friend date or some necessary alonetime. the cocktails were really good and I appreciate them having a happy hour! Last but the most important , the food wasgreat! Everything was fresh and had alot of flavor. I enjoyed everything I ordered. Of course, salt and pepper to taste as youwish. The crab claws are fantastic. What we ordered: - Crab Claw aglio e olio - spaghetti chorizo bolognese - seafood pasta -linguini alle cozze Read more

1st time customer and certainly won't be the last. Met with family for dinner. Started off with the sampler plate of meats and... cheeses. Flank steak was delicious, lobster ravioli was fresh and tasty, salads were extremely fresh and salad dressing wasgood. Mixed berry cobbler was served warm with a scoop of ice cream on top-- Yummy! Oreo cheesecake was very rich, but good. Wehad a spacious table in the garden dining room and the room temperature was fine even with this hot weather. Service was fair, alittle more attention would have been nice. Great place -- give it a try! Read more
Experience was exceptional. I will give my only bad because the rest is good. My silverware was filthy. ???? I always check my... utensils before I eat. Food was still stuck to my fork. ???? Idk how lucky we were to catch the all day drink special but thespecials were amazing. For 2 people, we ordered 4 special cocktails, an appetizer and 2 entrees. Our total was around $115. ????I'm coming back no doubt bit I'll except plastic silverware because yuck. I hate I didn't catch the waiter's name. Male.Ponytail. He was great. He knew the menu. He gave great suggestions. I even took him up on his drink recommendation. ????????Thanks for a great dining experience. Read more
Good. My pasta needed salt and lemon but the spicy prawns were delicious! Cute drinks too. I was surprised they had a gentleman... playing music out back. Read more
Pros: 3 outdoor patios where you can eat. One very small one out front with about 4 tables very close together. You can hear... everyone else's conversations. A bigger patio is out back with more tables and more room in between tables. There is also a 3rdpatio that is actually covered and, of course, they have indoor seating. The back patio is cozy at night with some nice ambientlighting at each table. Drinks are good. I had the Easy Tiger and the Mondo. My favorite was the Easy Tiger, it has Thai tea andliquor, very good! The mondo was also delicious. My spouse loved the charcuterie board. Cons: Service was very slow for aTuesday evening. We arrived at 630 and waited 30 minutes for a table. When we finally sat down, we ordered our appetizer. Waitertook a while to come back out and take our order, when he took our dinner order we also ordered another drink a piece. Took awhile for my drink to arrive and my spouse's Old Fashioned never arrived. Waiter came back around a little bit after our foodwas delivered, we asked for salt and pepper and reminded him about the old fashioned and he said he would bring them but neverdid. I finally just got up and got the shakers from the table across from us. There was another table of 3 women near us who hada different waiter and they were also missing important items, like silverware. One of them finally got up and had to rummagethrough the roll-cart with water and glasses until she found something suitable. We were done with our meal when he finally cameback around. We canceled the old fashioned because at that point we were done eating and needed the check. We had to ask for thecheck and even that was brought out late. we were not charged for the old fashioned that never was brought out. He must've hadway more tables inside because we were pretty much forgotten out there after our food came out. The duck confit was preparedwell, the duck was not dry or over-cooked but i didn't think it was very seasoned. I didn't l Read more
