We had an absolutely amazing experience at ETC. ! Kishore cooked our steaks to perfection, & Ilona made incredible drinks while providing such friendly, attentive service. A special thank you to Roberto, who went above & beyond by helping us with our watermelon feta salad & giving us a beautiful tableside cutting & plating even though we weren't seated in his section! The entire team made us feel so welcomed & truly elevated our dining experience. We can't wait to come back! 🥩🍸✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
Impeccable service by Tasso, Massimo & Michael! David, the manager, popped over to check on us, too! Now that's great customer service! Food was excellent...med-rare filet mignon cooked to perfection & that mille feuille potato was incredible...fries were also very good & a huge portion that we couldn't even finish! & the tiramisu dessert was such a creative presentation that we felt bad destroying it to eat it but it was absolutely devine!!!😋🥰❤?❤? Thanks for a memorable & delicious dinner experience!! 🎶Great choice of music playing too, so we weren't bothered by casino noise. Wonderful experience & we'll definitely be back!!🥰🍾🥂
