⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!!🥰🍾🥂

ETC… in the Playground, Kahnawake, is a fantastic place to celebrate & enjoy high-quality food. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, perfect for both family & friends. I had the salmon, which was cooked to perfection-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. I also tried four different desserts, & my absolute favorite was the sphere tiramisu, which was not only delicious but also such a creative presentation. The staff were friendly & attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. This restaurant is truly a gem in Kahnawake & a place I highly recommend for any special occasion.
Been to many steakhouses around the world, & this one rates right up there with the best of them. Outstanding food & service define how good this place is, not to mention beautiful decor & atmosphere. The starter tomato salad was a preview of good things to come.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Playground's ETC & I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm & inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance & comfort. The dim lighting & tasteful decor set the mood for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles & a level of attentiveness that made us feel like VIPs. Our Maître D'hotel was knowledgeable about the menu & offered fantastic recommendations, clearly passionate about the food & wine offerings. Now, onto the star of the show - the A5 Wagyu steak. Cooked to perfection, each bite was tender, juicy, & bursting with flavor. It was evident that the chefs use only the highest quality cuts of meat, expertly seasoned & grilled to our exact preferences. The wine list was extensive & thoughtfully curated, providing a range of options to suit every palate & perfectly pair with the dishes. The dessert menu was a delightful end to our meal, with indulgent choices that did not disappoint. Overall, ETC exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for a top-notch steakhouse with exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, & food that will leave you craving more, this is the place to be. I cannot wait to return!
