My review was written a couple of years ago, and was prior to their move north. I assume that like all restaurants in Fresno that they've eventually dropped most/all their vegetarian selections in favour of the more trendy 'organic' labelled meats. The same thing has happened to Senses, which had an almost vegan menu, but now has some kind of 'organic' meat such as lamb in almost every dish, although supposedly they can be ordered without. We haven't returned since they brought all the meat in. It's pretty sad that a place with a population as large as Fresno can't even support one veggie restaurant...and that some kind of meat has to be crammed into every entree, and every veggie dish has to be cooked with meat broth. I can't count how many times an item listed as vegetarian is admitted by the cook to not be vegetarian at all. Disappointing.- Is follow up to post by rsmotoraad ...
After dining with a vegetarian at Echo, I have to say I'm confused by your review. There were NO vegetarian selections on the menu. Not one. And in fulfilling our herbivore's request for a vegetarian meal, the kitchen presented him with a bit of cous cous and mashed potatoes topped with a few vegetables. Maybe 3 or 4 grams of protein. Echo treats vegetarians like second-class citizens.

Absolutely the freshest tasting food we've ever had. It isn't that expensive considering we have never had a negative experience there. The presentation is beautiful, the food tastes clean and uncluttered. Sauces are simple and heavenly. This is one of the few places in Fresno that knows what vegetarians (and vegans!) can eat, and accomodates perfectly. We often leave the selection of our entire meal up to the kitchen. We have brought our 2 children (2&4)on every occasion, and they were treated like royalty. We've even ordered it takeout without a glitch. Every time we've gone to a mid-priced restaurant and received inept service, were served inedible food, were lied to about ingredients, had our kids treated like garbage, and were overcharged on our bill we wish we had just gone to Echo instead. We can't say enough about Echo, and only wish that 1% of Fresno's restaurants were as good as Echo. It would be nice to find an ethnic restauarant that was as good. -- 2/3/2003 1:39:33 AM -- 10/23/2005 8:42:46 PM
