First Impression
We walked in hoping for coastal Florida charm and a thoughtful wine program to match. What we found instead was a restaurant that treats its wine list like an afterthought—if it exists at all. The lack of any discernible wine presence or staff engagement suggests this place put zero effort into their beverage program.
Selection Deep Dive
Without visible evidence of a curated list, we're looking at what appears to be a bare-bones selection likely pulled from a distributor's greatest hits catalog. No regional focus, no producer stories, no depth beyond the usual suspects you'd find at a chain steakhouse. If there's a physical list, it's probably collecting dust in a drawer while servers mumble through three house options. This isn't a wine program—it's a checkbox on a liquor license application.
By the Glass
By-the-glass offerings are either non-existent or so forgettable that nobody on staff could tell us what they were pouring. We'd bet money on room-temperature Chardonnay in generic stemware and a Cabernet that's been open since Tuesday. The lack of rotation or seasonal updates means whatever they're pouring has been the same for months, possibly years.
Whatever's in the beer cooler — $8
Skip wine entirely and order a cold beer—at least you'll know what you're getting
There isn't one
You can't hide gems in an empty box
Any bottle over $50
Without staff knowledge or proper storage, you're gambling on restaurant markup with zero quality assurance
BYOB if they allow it + Whatever looks good on the menu
Bring your own bottle and save yourself the disappointment—at least you'll control the quality
❌ The Bottom Line
Echo needs to figure out if it wants to be a restaurant that cares about wine or one that just stocks bottles to check a box. Until then, this is a hard pass for anyone who takes their wine seriously.
