Echo Restaurant

New Year’s

New Year’s Eve is coming quickly and the whole crew at Echo is ready to finish off the year in style. We are now taking reservations for New Year’s Eve dinner. The first seating will be at 5 pm, the second at 7pm and a third at 9pm with an open house to follow and last through out the night.

We are preparing a robust menu to feature some Echo classics and special dishes for the evening. Guests may order a la cart or the full 5 course dinner with wine pairing for $60. Space is limited for dinner, so act fast.

Sumer Lovin: Savor the last days of the season

Recently, the Portland Monthly magazine named Echo as one of the “Six ways to savor the last days of the season.” We were delighted for the compliments and happy to help so many of you stay cool and relaxed. If you haven’t checked us out, come see what all the summer hype is about.

Summer in a Cup
A Pimm’s Cup slides down as smoothly as a Long Island Iced Tea, but without the sucker punch. A classic version of the English cocktail, like the one offered by Echo Restaurant, starts with muddled cucumber shaken with Pimm’s Cup No. 1, a dark, herbaceous, but gentle 50-proof liqueur. Add in gin, fresh-squeezed lemon and lime, and ginger ale, and this concoction will brighten your day instead of blurring it.

Block Party, July 25th

We are very excited for our upcoming block party on Saturday, July 25th. If you’ve never been, now’s the time to check out some delicious fare and have fun. That’s right, we’ll be sectioning off the parking lot and turning it into a large summer patio, complete with live music, some of our best menu selections and special BBQ fare and fun summer games. And you can count on our mixologists to be serving up our classic cocktails to help keep you cool. (Did we mention we have shade in our back patio?)

The new crew, including the two new co-owners, are looking forward to meeting their new neighbors and offering enjoyment for all. We’ll be updating our site with information on the bands that will be playing, so be sure to check back often.

And be sure to swing by the Echo between July 10 – July 24 to pick up your postcard and chance to win a $50 gift certificate. The winner will be selected at the block party.
