Well wait a total shame! We came to Ecco for a Friday lunch with three work colleagues and it was a massive disappointment to say the least! The waitress was rude we had to wave her down at least four times to get some attention and the restaurant was not even full. When I asked her for a dessert wine she went through what seemed like a lifetime of explanation regarding each of the wines on the menu to which I said sorry I just want the sweet wine no need for all that explanation and she then muttered they are all sweet dear!

All I can say is she is lucky my boss wasn't at the table as she would have been put in her place quick smart. I do not appreciate being called dear by someone younger than me and certainly not by a waitress at a restaurant like Ecco. Then comes the two younger kitchen staffs at the pass over looking the restaurant both did not stop staring at our table all afternoon. We nearly got up and asked that they were told to stop it as it made us totally uncomfortable.

Clearly they were checking out the three exceptionally good looking women at our table. A glance every now and then would have been fine but to stare continuously is total unprofessional. I'm not going to bother saying much about the food as it was average. We were tossing up between Aria and Ecco, from now on it will be Aria. We won't go back to Ecco!

This is the worst experience I have had in a long time. I ordered two toasted sandwiches with a serve of hot chips so I could take my brother who is in the RBH something decent for lunch. It took them 35 minutes to make two sandwiches one of which was burnt and both of them stone cold. They forgot the chips all together and when I asked them to warm up the sandwiches they then took them back for another 10 minutes and returned them again with no chips.

I was so appalled I told her to forget about it and left. The waitress had a black short dress on. The place is bad if they can't manage to make two toasties and some hot chips then I'd hate to think what the rest of the food is like, don't go there if your life depends on it!

This is possibly the most disappointed restaurant I have been too in a long time. Staff were rude and abrupt, the food was so average I could have done a better job myself with my eyes closed! Don't waste your time on the Pork Belly it was dry greasy and tasteless, for $27 its is an insult. I will not be back ever and will make sure every person I speak to doesn't waste their time either... oh and by the way the menu online is not correct there is no "french" style food at all on the menu!
