Located in the heart of St. Simons Island, ECHO St. Simons offers a coastal dining experience that perfectly blends Southern charm with fresh, vibrant seafood and more. This seafood restaurant captures the spirit of the Georgia coast through its diverse menu, featuring an enticing array of dishes that cater to every palate.

Whether you’re settling in for a leisurely brunch or a spirited dinner by the bar, you’ll find the environment both warm and engaging, making it a favored local hotspot as well as a treasured stop for visitors.

The menu is a treasure trove of tempting flavors. Start your day with a Fresh Start option like the Royal Continental fresh fruit bowl layered with vanilla yogurt and house-made granola, or indulge in the Georgia Peach & Blackberry Parfait that bursts with fresh seasonal fruit. For something heartier, the Steel Cut Oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins or the savory Smoked Salmon Plate perched on a toasted bagel are thoughtfully crafted to nurture from the first bite.

Brunch favorites are abundant. The Classic Eggs Benedict boasts perfectly poached eggs with silky hollandaise atop an English muffin, while the OverStuffed Omelet invites you to savor a medley of fresh fillings like mushrooms, peppers, and bacon.

As the day turns to dinner, the seafood shines brightest. Savor the delicate flavor of Scallops seared to perfection, or delight in the zest of Shrimp Tacos bursting with fresh, coastal ingredients. The Clam Pasta offers tender clams nestled in perfectly al dente pasta, while the Seared Tuna showcases expertly balanced textures and flavors. For those preferring land fare, the Filet Mignon and Rib Eye Steak arrive cooked exactly as desired, accompanied by roasted vegetables that add sweetness and crunch.

Customers rave about standout dishes such as the Coastal Cobb Salad loaded with shrimp and smoked salmon—combining smoky, briny, and fresh notes in every bite. The Nashville Hot Calamari provides a spicy punch that’s perfectly countered by thoughtful accompaniments, while the Blueberry Cheesecake offers a luscious and creamy finish to any meal. Paired with house-brewed sweet tea or a refreshing mimosa, each bite and sip at ECHO feels effortless yet exciting.

    We came for Sunday brunch, but wound up eating from the bar menu. They do not have a cook, they have a stone cold chef! I had the Cobb salad with shrimp and smoked salmon, which was fabulous. One of us had a flatbread was so good. One of us had the fish tacos, amazing. And one of us had the barbecue chicken sandwich, which she just kept on and on and on about how fabulous it was. It had homemade pimento sauce! Just really really good food! Jackie, great waitress and she really took care of us. Great experience.

    Lunch outside waitress Q was great they let you chill for a while before bill, too long in my opinion. Food was excellent and thought price was good for quality of food. Check came and I was told room charge, debit or credit only. I had cash they said new owners new policy no cash. Was not told this didn’t see it posted anyplace. I’m sure I’m not the only person who sometimes walks the beach, it’s a beach resort, with cash only. Please post this policy or inform patrons at seating.

    Came here tonight for dinner. Our server JD was very knowledgeable on the menu and attended to our every need. We had the smoked deviled eggs and the Rockefeller oysters. The deviled eggs left something to be desired but the group enjoyed the oysters. For entrees we had the pork chop with broccolini and mashed potatoes, the salmon with rice, the Coastal Cobb salad. We all enjoyed our entrees and took a shrimp and grits to go for another person in our party. We also had some good hot tea as well. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. Give this place a try!

    Beautiful views. The service was amazing. Food was great. There was music in the background. We had the fish nachos as an appetizer— highly recommend! The peach sweet tea (not on the menu) was so good! There’s an outdoor area where kids were playing in the grass.

    Outstanding service and fun atmosphere. I ate at the bar and everyone was having a great time and very chatty. Great mix of visitors and locals. The ribeye was fantastic served medium rare with great sides.

    Had an amazing trip from a trip to the amazing Resturant ECHO! Ben our fabulous waiter, suggested everything correctly and perfectly! Easy to just sit back enjoy the view and not have to worry about the menu items! Made such a stunning memory, we are planning the next time we can escape to the King and Prince and have the fabulous pleasure of great food at ECHO being lead by Ben and great comfort of amazing food!

    Had a great meal! Started with the soft, onion focaccia bread. Then a HUGE, slightly peppery caesar salad, and ended with the seafood fettuccine. All were excellent! Only slight negative was that we ordered the mile high peanut butter pie. Good, but far from a mile high. Would definitely eat here again though.

    Standard far and top quality cocktails in a historic beachfront hotel environment. Service was prompt, polite, expedient, and friendly with a little southern charm. Guests skewed toward the older side but the building itself was well laid out with indoor or outdoor seating, poolside or beachside views.
