Expérience absolument incroyable !
Dès notre arrivée, l'hôtesse nous a informés que notre serveur habituel, Monsieur Roberto, n'était pas disponible & nous a confiés à Monsieur Freeman, qui a offert un service tout simplement remarquable. Professionnel, attentionné & d'une grande courtoisie, il a grandement contribué à rendre notre soirée mémorable.
Le souci du détail est omniprésent dans ce restaurant. Les plats sont magnifiquement travaillés, avec une présentation exceptionnelle, digne des grandes tables. Chaque bouchée était un véritable plaisir.
& que dire du dessert… absolument délicieux !
Ma copine & moi-même recommandons vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui recherchent une cuisine de haute qualité, dans une ambiance chic, élégante & distinguée. Un grand merci à Monsieur Freeman pour cette expérience impeccable !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sunday evening perfection - exceptional service that made the night unforgettable
Last night, Sunday evening, we had supper at ETC Restaurant at Playground Casino in Kahnawake, & the experience was truly exceptional.
About a week ago, we experienced an issue related to the return of our car. What stood out was management's decision to handle the situation in a genuinely customer-centric way. As a gesture to make things right, we were invited back for dinner, & that decision set the stage for what became a remarkable evening.
Before heading to the restaurant, we spent a little time enjoying the casino & had the pleasure of winning $600 together, which immediately added a positive & relaxed energy to the night - a great reminder of why Playground is such an enjoyable destination overall.
From the moment we sat down at ETC, the evening felt refined & special. We began with a beautiful Chablis, followed by excellent entrées, including a bruschetta-style dish with perfectly prepared bread & cheese, paired with a beautifully marinated salad, as well as a fresh shrimp entrée. The main courses were outstanding: Wagyu beef & a 40-day aged ribeye, cooked to perfection & served with elegant greens.
Dessert was just as impressive - a beautiful cheesecake & an elegant chocolate mousse, both carefully presented & delicious.
What truly made the evening unforgettable, however, was the service, & in particular Freeman.
Freeman was the person who truly made this night special. His attention, warmth, professionalism, & genuine care elevated the entire experience. He guided us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, & ensured every detail was perfect throughout the evening. Thanks to him, & his personal touches added elegance & personality to the experience & that we would not have enjoyed without his care & initiative.
This is exactly what exceptional service looks like. Freeman's presence transformed a great dinner into a truly memorable experience, one that felt closer to Michelin-level service than a typical restaurant visit.
A sincere thank-you to Freeman for his outstanding hospitality, & to the management team for their thoughtful, customer-focused approach & for creating the opportunity to turn a situation into such a positive experience.
We will absolutely be back.
Big thank you to the whole team!
