Kitchen is one of our favorite local restaurants, both for the consistently good food (we had the fish and pasta entrees) and excellent service, which why I chose it for my birthday dinner. I didn’t say it was my birthday on my reservation, but when we decided to share the coconut cake, the server brought it with a lit candle. The cake was moist with delicious whipped cream and coconut frosting. It was a lovely end to a delicious dinner!

About the restaurant

When done right, a night on the town can feel like an evening spent in a faraway place. Echo transports the senses, blending bold flavors and exoticism in a decidedly urban space. To start, enjoy sake and fresh sushi in the garden, dotted with lanterns, or see and be seen at happy hour in our Dragonfly Lounge, popular for its dramatic serpentine bar.

For dinner, gather in the garden, front terrace or dining room for a veritable feast of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Korean dishes, complemented by an outstanding selection of cocktails, beers and wines.

Steaks are delicious and prepared exactly to order . Staff is so well trained and attentive without being intrusive. This time we sat in the “outdoor room” which is beautiful. it wasn’t nearly as loud as before because the music was modulated so we could have a conversation. The ambiance is amazing.
