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.
We had an absolutely outstanding experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented, & the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, & comfortable. Every detail showed the care & pride the team puts into creating a great dining experience.
What truly made our visit exceptional was the manager, David . He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, & genuinely attentive throughout the evening. David took the time to answer our questions, offer excellent recommendations, & ensure everything was perfect. His positive attitude & dedication to customer service made us feel valued & well taken care of.
It's rare to come across someone as amazing & passionate as David. He truly goes above & beyond to make guests feel welcome. Thanks to him & the entire staff, this was one of the best restaurant experiences we've had. We will definitely be returning & highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food & exceptional service!
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.
Le service était excellent en général, mais notre serveur Massimo nous a vraiment donner d'excellente recommandation & vraiment un service 5 étoiles, la nourriture était succulente rien à dire de négatif sur notre expérience merci à tous !

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 !
