Went to Eccolo for lunch with my husband this afternoon. We have eaten here several times since they opened. Pluses: the bar tender was very nice and attentive, and made me a perfect mint julep, which is on the cocktail menu.

Me and my family went there last night for our early family Christmas dinner. The food and wine were fine and service good.

The vegetarian dishes were less interesting, if that is an issue for you. Service was excellent, friendly, informative and attentive.
