They know what they are doing in the kitchen here. Very different from the old daveluys, but they have the same wings which were the best. Shrimp and grits was one of the most flavorful meals I've ever had. The apps were delicious. Calamari was on point and cooked correctly. Rigatoni bolognese was DELICIOUS. Had a nice espresso after dinner with a exquisitely presented dessert on a very large plate. I will be back to this place for sure. Many other things on the menu I'd like to try.

After a cold, rainy morning at a funeral, my family and I decided to warm up with lunch at Echo Craft Kitchen. I’ve been curious to check them out, and I was impressed when I walked in at the ambiance here - the size of the space from the outside is definitely deceiving! Our server was super friendly and quick with a joke, making sure we felt welcome. Everyone was happy with their cocktails, and our apps and drinks were delicious. The one downside of the meal was that we waited around 20 minutes on a slice of cake for dessert, and it ended up being pretty dry. Otherwise, everything was great and I would definitely come back!

Mother’s Day brunch was amazing! The food never stopped refilling right up until the end. So much variety and everything tasty. All of the waitstaff, even the buffet runners, were smiling and attentive! Shout out to our server Nick and bartender Jeanine!

What a hidden gem! Don't be fooled by the parking lot. When you enter, it has a farmhouse/ modern/speakeasy feel and it's cozy with a fireplace too. Brunch was fantastic! Our server Jeanine was even better. If she's not working, I don't go! They have specials most days of the week, fresh food/original ingredients with something for everyone. My Savory favorites: Salmon, green beans, potatoes, quiche Sweet favs: Creme Brulee waffles, pancakes and the amazing mixed fruit and raspberry puree There's so much more: bagels, muffins, pastries, pies, eggs benedict, bacon sausage, salad etc. It's definitely a place where you'd want to take that special someone. I will definitely be returning to try their lunch/dinner. Their menu items are new, exciting and specials change/alternate. Thank you for a great experience Jeanine and Echo Craft Kitchen! I'm impressed! See you again soon!

All around great restaurant - food, service, atmosphere all five stars. On the pricier side and expect to pay 50 per person but that’s with apps/entree/dessert to share. Still highly recommend and will be back. Our server was also awesome. I wish I had her name. Seafood pasta pillows were

No need to read this review! Get in your car and GO! Top to bottom a 10! We came up from Norwalk on a Sunday evening to meet my sister who just came in from southern CA and had to find a restaurant to eat dinner at. The menu spoke to me. I took a shot and all 4 of us marveled at the food visually and pleased our palates! Party of 4 Appetizer - fresh mozzarella donuts with panko bread crumbs, pesto and whipped ricotta and a side of marinara. Creative. Fun, sharable delish! Entree. 2 veggie bowls with salmon. Fresh, large beautiful. Entree Chicken Caesar salad perfectly cooked hot chicken on top of fresh romaine. Perfectly done. large portions. Entree, Cobb salad Double ditto, FRESH, LG PORTIONS. Dessert-molten lava cake with Pistachio gelato. The plate was perfectly plated! Service-Christian was a rock star, personable, knowledgeable, fun, listened well, was engaging, complimentary, high attention to detail. He read the room and sold everything! The man was well schooled in his craft! As a retired CIA grad 72, we all could not be happier! We'll be back!

The service was wonderful. Scout is our favorite server, though they are all wonderful...we’ve become such frequent flyers we all even waive to each other when with different staff! Special shoutout to Sydney as well for always being a friendly face! Love supporting a small local business even though we’ve moved a few towns over, well worth the drive every time.

Amazing resteraunt! Echo Craft Kitchen is quickly becoming my family and I's new favorite dinner spot! We initially stopped in months ago on a whim for some pizza and have been back several times after time and time again trying new dishes and having an amazing time! Their pizza menu is delicious! The notorious P.I.G. Is my favorite loaded with bacon, pepperoni and sausage. Mashed is my second favorite! Wings are also great! I've tied a few hickory BBQ and carolina BBQ! My last outing here I had the Mac Attack burger. Absolutely amazing with Applewood bacon and a creamy Mac and cheese topping. Cocktail menus are also great! The vanilla pear-adise was amazing and interesting combo I had to try! They, also have a good beer and draft selection and had some ciders on tap. Looking forward to many more visits!
