e'cco bistro

Dining here we found it to be an exceptionally high standard of food and service, plus a relaxed atmosphere. The bread with french butter & black ash salt was a great start and worked together well. Then, for starters we went with the Moreton Bay Bug roll and scallops, both cooked perfectly but the bug roll been the highlight with the pickled cucumber & nori, great combination. For main I put them to the test and they delivered, the Gippsland ‘little joe’ Sirloin was a very high quality cut of meat that was perfectly cooked, just found the oxtail croquette a little over powering taste wise for me and the focus was on the sirloin. My wife went the Brisbane valley Quail which she really enjoyed. Their twice-cooked protatoes were the perfect side and cooked/seasoned perfectly. Left just enough room to share a Mango Mille-feuille for desert which wasn't too heavy, very nice, especially the sorbet icecream. Definitely up there with the best restaurants in Brisbane and we look forward to returning to sample some other dishes.

Visited Ecco with a friend to celebrate my birthday and that she had sold her house. I have complex dietary issues (of which the restaurant had been informed). They were able to make adjustments to a fabulous meal for me, the nicest meal I had tasted in ages. My friend loved hers too. The service was excellent and a nice surprise ending when we were each brought a dessert plate with 2 macarons with writing (I had Hapoy Birthday and a candle). It wrapped up the evening beautifully. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Overall Rating: 3.75 /5 stars Fine Dining (1 Hat) Firstly, we were a last minute booking. Mary was wonderful in securing us a table and I have to say the service was excellent! I have eaten at Ecco a few times in the past, but haven't eaten here recently. I think you can always expect a solid meal. The atmosphere is nice. It's fine dining, but has a more casual atmosphere. In some scenarios that is good, but some times people will want a view or sobering a little more special for a special occasion. Food: For Entree we had the: 1. Seared Scallops - sauce was nice 2. Roasted mushrooms 3. Goat souffle - lacked a sauce or something to bring it together. Mains: 1. Duck 2. Spiced pork belly 3. Beetroot risotto 4. Gippsland "little Joe" steak Genealogy speaking the proteins were good. However, the dishes were very salt forward. You really had to eat all the components on each dish to get some balance. I wanted the food to be "wow", but for me it lacked a little balance. Still the food was good, but at the price point, we wanted a little more. Sides: 1. Cabbage salad 2. Gorgonzola rocket salad 3. French fries The sides were nice. Fries were done well. Cabbage was a little heavy on the vinegar. Dessert: 1. Affogato - was told it was nice 2. Passion fruit soufflé - a little too sweet. But, consistency was lovely. If eaten with the Creme fraiche gelato.. It was more balanced. 3. Tart - can't remember what flavour - but it was delicious Overall a pleasant meal. And worth a visit!

We celebrated our late Valentine's dinner here on Friday. The service was great, we didn't feel neglected or forgotten. Even though our food took long, the host told us that the food is on its way. Better than no update. He kindly gave us the steamed greens as complimentary. Our dinner was delicious and beautifully presented. I had the gnocchi with a parmesan crisp and my fiance had the duck. It was superb. Thanks for a great evening.

Wow 🤩 divine ambience , styling of restaurant is elegant and understated. Cuisine by head chef Phillip is exceptional. Could eat the gnocchi with Parmesan chip/ flake divine . I could eat a bag of those Parmesan crisps . The duck 🦆 was perfection. I am not a big desert fan so my friend ate mine . Adore the presentation. The Greg Cooley lunch never disappoints with matching wine and world class entertainment. See the singer below 👇. If you get a chance to do this highly recommend. Magnificent service / seamless , attention to detail.

Don't often post a review, but thought this place deserved it. From the moment you enter there there was a high level of service. Soon after being seated, we were introduced to our server for the evening, Hope (I believe that was her name). While there was absolutely top notch service from all, Hope was especially attentive and was happy to oblige if we had any requests. The food, especially the entrees were exceptional (we had the lobster banquet). I have had a lot of seafood around Brisbane, but that genuinely tasted like some of the freshest seafood I had eaten in a while (definitely some of the tastiest). I wouldn't say it's the cheapest place, but definitely worth it to me. I would and likely will eat there again.

Wonderful lunch date with my husband. We opted for the 3 course set meal and it was plentiful and delicious. Ordered the baked pumpkin side - caramelised maple with crisp sage leaves - WOW! Looking forward to returning.

Food is beautiful and the service is fantastic. Really want to leave tips but we didnot bring any cash...My partner and I came for celebrating his birthday and thank you for all staffs gave us the most romantic night 🌙
