The Most Vibrant Steakhouse in the Greater Montreal area. etc. offers a modern twist on the steakhouse experience while adding a Mediterranean influence. With a menu that goes far beyond our numerous cuts of premium beef, including A5 Wagyu, all aged to perfection and grilled to your preference; we offer majestic seafood platters and phenomenal pastries; all served in an electric ambience, to the beats of our guest DJ’s - This is not your Grand Father’s steakhouse!
Overall, reviews portray ETC Steakhouse in the Playground Casino as delivering exceptional service, attentive staff, and superb steakhouse fare with standout wines and generous portions, creating a warm, upscale atmosphere that makes it a top choice for celebrations and date nights; the dining experience is described as memorable and often compared to Michelin level service by some, with no tax pricing noted as a bonus, though a few critiques mention casino noise, occasional misfires such as overcooked fish, bland or underseasoned sides, and high prices, yet repeat visits and strong recommendations are common.
My friend & I ordered the Surf & Turf platter, mille feuille baked potatoes, drinks (Pomara & wine) & desserts (Chocolate Fondant with Raspberry Flowing Core (Gluten Free) & Madagascar Vanilla Crème Brûlée). As well a seafood linguine to take home (the taste was good but the I think quantity of seafood can be more). Everything was exceptional (although the shrimps are small), especially the aged bone-in ribeye steak & lobster tail. I would recommend the dish but not the shrimps & I find it can be of better quality. Overall for steak/lamb/lobster, I definitely recommend this place for anyone to go. The service & staff are friendly & know the dishes well. Throughout the meal, we had different staff making sure everything was going well & if we needed any help, someone is always available.

Had a great time at ETC, service amazing thanks to our waiter David, very knowledgeable in the wine section & very professional! Would definitely recommend.
3e fois que j'ai le plaisir de manger ici , le service est absolument impeccable à chaque fois , rapide, courtois & sans bavure 👌 à deux reprise j'ai mangé le porterhouse à partager puis une fois le rib steak , cuisson parfaite à tout coup , la qualité de la viande vieillit 40 jours est exceptionnelle ! Je recommande fortement la sauce au champignon avec votre steak … tu sais quand tu gigotes & frétille à chaque bouchée? Ben c'est ça ! 10/10 je recommande à tous !
A wonderful dining experience with flavorful, tasty food. David provided exceptional service, & we appreciated the personal touch of the Chef welcoming us to our table. The manager's attentive check-ins made us feel truly valued. Highly recommended

Best food, excellent service, & a truly memorable Christmas Eve. Everything was perfectly prepared, the staff were warm & attentive, & the atmosphere felt special & festive. We couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate-highly recommend!
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 !
