We had a wonderful time at Ecco in midtown last night!! Celebrating my grandsons birthday was special and our server Michael was amazing! He told us different dishes that were excellent and we listened to his advise and enjoyed all the food we ordered. The atmosphere was perfect, laid back and a very fun environment... read more

Ecco Midtown - Patatas Bravas Hearth Burger - Modern European Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Very friendly service. A lovely restaurant vibe. Our waiter was great as was the food. Highly recommend the fried goat cheese and the beets appetizers. The papardelli was freshly made in house and included lots of meat in the ragu. Pizza was lovely and my duck confit was yummy. The bread pudding was divine and the crème fraîche gelato was nice too. I think I forgot the patatas bravas. The restaurant is primarily modern Italian. And delicious. read more

Ecco is a decent, upscaley place if you're feeling like stepping your evening up. I'm not sure it's something we have the palate to fully appreciate, but I'm sure it's perfect for the right group. The staff was a little indignant from the moment we checked in for our reservation to when we left. The hostess didn't seem to know the table setup nor did she care where we sat. Our server took a long while to get to us and it took longer to get our beverages. The place wasn't too full and honestly this may have been the desired atmosphere so who am I to complain. The food was good. Definitely not as good as the prices would lead you to believe, but good. Definitely worth checking out but maybe not too often. read more

Great service, really enjoyed the food we ordered, and it was a pretty spacious yet lively restaurant. We had the grilled shrimp, grilled oyster, fried goat cheese with honey, redfish, brussel sprouts, and steak. Remember to ask them to make a side of fried garlic for the steak if you're into that. I would say it's a great place to come with your friends or a date. read more

I went to Ecco Midtown to celebrate a birthday and honestly it was a 10 out of 10 experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and warm. The service was amazing, especially María, who truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly kind and made us feel at home the entire time. It felt like no matter what we needed, she was genuinely happy to help, and that's something you really appreciate when dining out. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, especially at night. It's perfect for celebrating a birthday or going with a group because they have a QR code system where everyone can pay for their own items. No splitting checks, no awkward math, just super easy and convenient, especially for larger parties. Food wise, everything we ordered was delicious. I shared a charcuterie board with three friends and it was really good. We also ordered the tuna carpaccio, which was amazing and came with natural potato chips that were honestly a 10 out of 10. We ordered a pizza as well, I don't remember the name but it had mushrooms and it was so good. For drinks, my go to cocktail is an espresso martini and even though it wasn't on the menu, they were able to make it for me. It was perfect, with a strong coffee flavor, which I personally love in an espresso martini. Overall, Ecco Midtown was an incredible experience. Amazing food, amazing service, and a great atmosphere. If you're looking for a great place to celebrate with friends and enjoy good food and cocktails, this is definitely a great option. read more

We came here before a Sunday night show and had no problem parking on the street a block away (there is no parking the block the restaurant is on). We made a reservation minutes before and didn't need that to get a table as it was not full at all. The interior is a good size and has a dark vibe. Our server was with us quickly and could sense we were in a mild hurry. The menu had lots of good options and we started with the mussels which were amazing! The highlight of the meal for me. The sauce was the best I'd ever had and soaking both the bread that came with it and the complimentary bread in it was the best! The jalapeno in this dish made it great as well. For my entree, I had the pappardelle, which was good, but nothing special. We were in and out within an hour. read more

Dinner before a show at the Fox. Ecco is tucked away on a quieter street in a super cool stand alone building on a cypress St. upon entering is a god size bar area that had happy hour 4-6pm. After a drink or two at the bar we were seated. The server really knew the menu well and service was impeccable. I had the red fish which was amazing. Others at the table had the pork tenderloin, the pappardelle, and the vegetable pasta special. All the food was delish and the presentation of the dishes were awesome. I highly recommend this place. Great experience from start to finish. read more

I've eaten here for years while traveling to Atlanta and always enjoyed it. This visit the Food was below average. Not enough options for small bites. What we did get, did not wow. Except for the cheeseburger. It was good. The meal was definitely not worth what we paid. Server hardly acknowledged us and didn't even offer dessert menu. There was 4 of us and they automatically put a 20% gratuity on the check. I guess if you are guaranteed a tip, why provide excellent service. I will not return. read more

Went here for a birthday dinner. It was really good if I remember correctly. There is so much competition in Atlanta for restaurants I feel like this place could be forgotten, but I'm glad I got to try it. Would recommend. read more

Wagyu hamburger was delicious. Host/manager was very friendly and accommodating turning the world cup game on. Upscale but comfortable vibe.

I think the most appropriate rating would be a 4.5 tbh. I have dined here on 3 recent occasions. My husband and I have season tix to the Fox and this is one of our pre-show spots. The service is very good, and I would describe the food as "solid." Nothing has ever really blown me away but also nothing has been disappointing either. We usually show up pretty hungry after sitting in traffic for over an hour and we share 2 apps, 2 entrees, a dessert and 2-3 cocktails. The bill typically runs 250$-ish. Overall, its a nice dining experience. Some of the more memorable dishes include the duck and the pork tenderloin. Apps- prawns & meat/cheese board. The cocktails are well done. One inconsistency is how their happy hour works (4-6 pm). On one occasion, we chose to sit at the bar, and we enjoyed a few HH items, no issues (we usually arrive pre-show 515/530). The second time, we were seated at a table; we requested the HH menu, no issues and we each enjoyed a cocktail/app. However, the third time, we were told we could NOT order from the HH menu while seated at a table. The bar was very crowded as there was some kind of event going on. I would say that did rub us the wrong way a bit, and may be the reason we have not returned there for pre-show dining. So if we get there in time for HH but theres no space at the bar, we can't have a few items off the HH menu? hmmm kay. read more

Well-crafted European in a gorgeous setting, Ecco is the best of the best in midtown. I visited as part of a special group dinner, and our service and experience was impeccable. While the wine service and tuna carpaccio was exquisite, the real standout was the array of desserts that were presented to us at the end of the meal, with the caramel pudding being one of the better sweet bites I've had all year. A perfect spot for a special occasion. read more

We were a group of 5 friends The waiter was overly nice explaining the drink menu a little too much since I only wanted a beer and was unable to interrupt him He recommended later after we ordered our apetizer the main dishes . He mentioned the house favorites steak and then a fish So of course we wanted to order those I think he forgot to come back for that order cause when we had finished our starters he had not returned yet The fish in the end was tastelesss and looked more like a soup in tomato sauce . Almost felt the cooks forgot to add the spices . My steak shower was delicious and recommend it Just the waiter I know they mean well but sometimes we can check the menu and if questions we ll let you know read more

The happy hour here is definitely one of the best value happy hours in Atlanta. Overall, their food is good but a bit overpriced. You're paying for the vibe as well which is very upscale and pretty. Our server was very patient and provided great service. The redfish was the absolute standout. read more

Excellent. Great vibe. Amazingly well prepared food and amazing cocktails. Try the hanger steak for a perfectly seasoned well-cooked steak. The Dreams of Amalfi drink went well with it, very lemony but delicious. I would definitely come back here on my next trip. read more

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm, cozy and welcoming with a very trendy feel. Our server came over right away and we ordered drinks and appetizers. The food was just superb. My friend and I had the goat cheese fritters and the burrata. I ordered the tortellini and my friend the crab gnocchi. Everything was delicious, especially the goat cheese with honey. I also ordered a cocktail and then a glass of wine with dinner. The food was brought out in perfect time. Our server didn't rush us. For dessert we shared the butterscotch pot de creme which was amazing. Everything was just great. read more

The food at this restaurant was okay, but the valet service was a complete nightmare. After a lovely dinner with my family, the valet turned the end of our evening into a stressful encounter. The valet lot is tiny (like really tiny and you have no choice but to use the service - no self parking), so he didn't have to walk far to retrieve my car. When he pulled up, I handed him a $5 bill. But he didn't give me my car keys--instead, he held onto my key fob and said, "The $5 is just for the parking fee; it doesn't include my tip. You have to pay more for the gratuity." I was with my family, so I kept my composure, but I was shocked. A restaurant's food is only one part of the dining experience. The way a place makes you feel matters just as much, and being strong-armed into tipping by a valet is a terrible feeling. I don't mind tipping, but this was different. Valet parking at a restaurant is often a courtesy, and you tip at your own discretion as you leave. This place charges a fee and then pressures you for an additional tip (after paying and tipping inside). No matter how good the food is, I would never go back to a place that allows its employees to bully customers. I encourage you to find another place to eat, there are better options around the area. read more

I came here for my 25th birthday dinner with my friends and it was such a great experience! I've been to this location before, but I love that they called ahead to reconfirm and also add some personal touch to the menu! They asked about things I liked or hobbies I had to personalize the menu for me, along with my name! The service was great and things moved at a very nice pace. My party thoroughly enjoyed the food and appetizers, and the ambience! This place didn't feel stuffy like some upscale restaurants i've been to, but it's a good in between. I got the squid ink pasta, I do not remember the exact name, but it was delicious. We also had the broccolini and potatoes appetizers! Also very good! They brought out a cinnamon roll and some ice cream for me to celebrate a which I liked! I will definitely be back and highly recommend if you're trying to celebrate something special! read more

We were at a table, where understandably the acoustics were more challenging. I could not hear the person next to me. The cocktails were watered down. No flavor. I ordered the Blackened Linguini which was sour with frozen Sal and small shrimp cut in chunks, Service slow. The worst dining experience in Midtown. read more

Liked * Liked * Liked * Liked * Liked * Liked * Liked * Liked * Bar atmosphere was cool and service was too Broccolini Shrimp Tapa: The sauce and crouton was tasty, this was a good dish Old Fashion Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked -Disliked - Disliked - Very limited menu and not many meatless dishes even the veggies had meat in it. The menu is clear and easy to read but I had to ask questions because I couldn't tell what was a salad, vs side vs pasta vs flatbread. If I hadn't asked questions I might have ordered something completely different than what I expected read more

This is the best airport dinning I've ever visited. After my husband and I have had many disappointments throughout the day with trying and tasting food before we ended our trip in ATL. The flatbread was cooked to the perfection the tomatoes was fresh to tastes and the cheese was cooked as it should. The Herbed Chicken panini was on point, will seasoned and the toasts was perfect. 10/10! Will stop to eat here again for sure when I do visit or passing through again. The server was friendly and polite. The environment was chill and relaxing. Overall it was a wonderful experience. read more

I had gotten a giftcard for my birthday to spend at a Fifth Group restaurant, so we decided to check out Ecco! We made a reservation for a Friday evening and were seated pretty much immediately. There's parking along Cypress that's pretty easy through ParkMobile. The restaurant has such a cool vibe inside and is super intimate and cozy. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table and decided to order everything family-style. Our waiter was super helpful with recommendations. We got the charcuterie board, fried goat cheese balls, the speck flatbread, agnolotti, patatas bravas, and spaghetti al Nero. The fried goat cheese balls lived up to the hype and were absolutely the highlight of the meal!! The rest of the food was absolutely delicious and the perfect portions for 4 people to share. Overall, really cool dinner spot and really great food! Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. read more

Came here with a friend on a Thursday evening and it was a cool experience! I had a glass of Riesling that was crisp and refreshing, and ordered the Pappardelle for my main course. The serving was generous and the food was very fresh. Our server was knowledgeable and kind, however, I am knocking off 1 star because we tried to pay with a giftcard but it somehow didn't work? Our server then kept the card and we had to ask for it back.. We initially thought it was then a faulty card due to this, but after looking up the details, realized that the card was perfectly fine. It was just sort of an odd experience in that sense, but the dining was good. read more

Love love love. We made a reservation for a Friday evening and we were seated upon arrival. They have parking along cypress street which was an easy pick and quick walk! We got a bottle of wine for the table and they have some bread as well. All of the wait staff was extremely nice! We got a bunch of plates to share including the charcuterie board and friend goat cheese as an appetizer. The goat cheese was definitely the star of the show!! For the main, we shared the speck flatbread, a ravioli, patatas bravas and spaghetti al Nero. The portions were generous and plenty to share and the patatas bravas were stellar. That flat bread was also massive!! Overall, great food and the vibes of the restaurant are awesome!! Couldn't ask for a better experience read more

Came to eat dinner with the family on a random Thursday night for the first time and we were so pleased from start to finish! Called in to find out about the dress code and the hostess answered all my questions. Was able to make a reservation over the phone. Very pleasant staff. Our waiter , michael McGill was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu! We LOVE when a waiter can guide us through a new restaurant experience! We ordered a great bottle of white wine - Picpoul de Pinet, which he recommended and we loved it! For our appetizer we ordered the lamb meatballs - OMG. So full of flavor and the garnishes gave a lot of great texture as well. We received bread service with oil on the side. The bread was warm and great but I wish the oil had some herbs or spices in it for dipping. For our entrees we ordered the duck and the sea bass. The duck was ordered medium well because we don't like any redness in our meat. It was so delicious, tender and just amazing! The cauliflower was also great in that dish. The sea bass was seasoned very well and was served with fingerling potatoes - very delicious. For dessert we ordered the baklava that was served over a cheesecake sauce with lemon sorbet on top and pistachios. Literally life changing! You have to try it! My 5 year old daughter was with us and we were able to order a flatbread cheese pizza. She is extremely picky and didn't eat much of it because it doesn't look like the typical pizza slices that she's accustomed to. She did enjoy pulling the mozzarella off the top and eating it. We ordered a side of fries and we all loved them. They came out hot! Mike explained that the buckhead location has a similar vibe but an entirely different menu. We are excited to try that one! We signed up for the rewards system also. read more

I was in Atlanta for a business trip when a colleague recommended this place for dinner. I was able to make a reservation easily, and that night we dined at Ecco. The restaurant was dark and moody on the inside, perfect for a date night if you're interested in that. My coworker and i shared the fried goat cheese, which was oh so good. Our waiter said it was popular there, and I see why. For my main course, I ordered the seared swordfish. It was my first time trying swordfish, and hopefully not my last. It was also a great choice and I would definitely recommend it. For my drink, I ordered the crowd pleasing vodka drink. It definitely pleased me so that's all that matters, right? I'm so glad I had the chance to check this place out! read more

I came by after work with a few friends for happy hour, but made a reservation just in case as we had a party of 4. We got to Ecco and I mentioned we had a reservation for happy hour. Happy hour was only at the bar so we sat there, but taking a look at the limited menu, we decided we would just do the normal menu. Here is when it started going downhill real fast: we got up and asked the hostess if we could get a table since we were no longer doing happy hour. The hostess definitely had an attitude and asked if we wanted to sit in the lounge area at the front and we said sure. She then proceeded to sit us at the VERY back of the restaurant right next to the curtain at the very back as there was a private event going on. Mind you it is a sizable restaurant with maybe 6 people in the restaurant at this time. It made zero sense to sit us at the very back when she just asked if we wanted to sit in the lounge area at the very front? My friend went up to ask the hostess to be moved as we found the private event behind the curtain to be loud, the curtain was moving, it was incredibly dim, and the restaurant was nearly empty. My friend who spoke to the hostess said she was incredibly rude and demeaning and said nothing could be done...in an empty restaurant. Few moments later, the manager came out and asked if we wanted to sit in the lounge ...which is where they asked if we wanted to sit in the first place. After that ordeal, we were finally seated at a table and got to order. The service from there on out was not pleasant and we really just wanted to leave. I ordered the patatas bravas and fried goat cheese. The patatas bravas were incredibly greasy and you can see in the image a pool of grease before I even started eating. They definitely made me a bit queasy with how greasy these were. The fried goat cheese was the only redeeming factor of this place. They burned my friend's pizza so she had to wait after all 3 of us got our food and the pizza she was served was still pretty dark. Portions for pizza and pasta here were small and mediocre. After receiving the poor service and food here, I would never come back and argue this is the worst place in Midtown! read more

The food here is good and we had a lovely waiter. We had some service issues/ delay when our order went in after a big party. Started with the beet top salad- delicious and sizable. Lumache is tasty. Red fish- good but could use a bit of sauce. Duck breast - it came out a bit cold but communication and good service was key to a good ending. read more

We had been wanting to try this spot for a while, but we're pretty disappointed in the quality of food. Our server was incredibly stressed and took 10 minutes just to say hello, he did apologize about it all. But the food itself, it was not high quality Italian for the reflective pricing. The pasta noodles did not match up with the menu, the tastes were all over the place and portions were either very small or decent size. The charcuterie board had a great spread but no crackers to use for the jam or mustard. The best thing on the menu was the fried goat cheese balls but that was all we were impressed with. read more

Service was perfect - waiter was tending to and checking on us as needed. Not overly intrusive and not hard to find. Started w tapas - tuna tartare and shrimp. Very tasty! Scallops and pompano were excellent. Just the right portions - we weren't overly full or left feeling like we didn't eat wnough. read more

This was probably the best dinner we had on our business trip to Atlanta. One of the reasons it was so good was because so done else was paying. But don't worry, it is worth the trip. Parking, we Ubered, so I don't really know. Sorry. Service, it is loud and we had a large group so hearing us might have been a problem, but it wasn't. Service was exceptional. The food: Fried Goat Cheese - AMAZING dish, get it even if you don't like goat cheese. The honey sauce pairs so well. Grilled Octopus - this was also amazing, but we shared it. I could eat one by myself. Heirloom Tomato Salad - fresh, refreshing. Broccolini - chard, we'll prepared but not my favorite (side to Swordfish) Pappardelle - wonderful pasta choice, good size dish. Swordfish - buttery texture and cut like bread. This was so moist and flavorful. Mussels - solid choice but a lot of work to get to the good stuff. Crispy Duck - Phenomenal, period. Best dish of the night. Cheesecake - decadent, good not great. Wine list - phenomenal. Portions are light, so you do t have to save room for dessert. Tips: - Maker sure you go on their website and make reservations. - Order the fried goat cheese, there are five pieces to share. - Try the grilled squid, if you like it, because they do it right. - Dessert was not a strong suit, choose an after dinner drink. - Want to SPLURGE, go for the wine list and ask for suggestions. They will help you pair the perfect wine with your food choices. read more

Ate here with a large party, so please consider my review in that context. Apps - charcuterie board (very good!), chicory (I think?) salad (delicious), speck flatbread (great but difficult to eat, not for dates or a business dinner. It was very crisp, not well cut, making it hard to get the pieces apart and the speck was in big slices that fell off to the side or were hard to bite through gracefully). Cocktails and wine were all delicious and with creative ingredients and names. Even the mocktails had rave reviews from our party. I had the agnolotti as a main, which was vegetarian and really flavorful. the only issue was it arrived cold and with very different amounts of sauce for each person who ordered it. Our server was apologetic and took several plates away to get rewarmed. Service overall was stellar. Would definitely give this place another go with a smaller group. read more

We went last night and it was ok. The service was a bit inattentive as I think they did not have enough staff to service all the customers.
