"I actually went to the Ecco Lounge the night before I continued my move east this Spring with my folks. It 's a restaurant they like going to occasionally and there 's a couple dishes they like to have when visiting. The Ecco Lounge is one of those places that has a colorful local history. So much so, they are proud to share it on their menu as you decide what to order. The main bar area itself is what you 'd expect, though they have preserved as much of the place 's history as possible in the floors and furniture. If you dine in that area you will certainly enjoy it. However, I would like to see a little more thought and personality go into the dining rooms behind the main bar area as it is kind of close quarters and not as colorful as the bar. At the very least tie it into the rest of the place a little more seamlessly. Many locals know of and rave about the prime rib sandwich $15) and when I ordered it, it didn 't disappoint. For the price, you get a nice piece of prime rib served on a toasted hoagie with horseradish sauce and au jus on the side. This was a very mouthwatering sandwich and I enjoyed every bite. The au jus was also very tasty and complimented the sadwich. The only critique that it was a hair underdone; while this didn 't bother me, some folks might not like that. However, I will add the disclaimer that it may have been more the service that evening than the sandwich itself. The fries served alongside the sandwich were done just right and we 're crispy. My folks also ordered the fried mushrooms to start our meal. Overall, they were good and the dip paired well with it. However, especially per my folks ' critique they were a little soggy and not quite as good as they usually are. The service was decent, but wasn 't the best. I am probably giving a little more generous rating than my folks would have, but the service was a little slow and could use some improvement. I believe the service we had also affected the food we had, but not too heavily. Part of that may have also been to us dining midweek, so keep this in mind when visiting. I would like to see the service and atmosphere improved to really help sell their food. But, Ecco Lounge is a unique bar and lounge with some really tasty dishes. Definitely worth trying out at least once, especially for the prime rib sandwich."
