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!
Etc. is described across the reviews as a consistently polished steakhouse experience with attentive, professional service and a warm, elegant atmosphere that makes it ideal for date nights and celebrations; the food is repeatedly praised for being delicious and well cooked, with standout steaks such as ribeye, filet mignon and wagyu, as well as seafood options and well presented starters; sides like mashed potatoes and bruschetta are noted as flavorful and generous, and the wine list and sommelier guidance are frequently highlighted; guests also appreciate the no tax policy as a bonus and often remark on generous portions and good value for the quality; the casino setting is mentioned as contributing to a lively environment with occasional noise, which some find energizing and others wish could be quieter; while a few critiques point to moments of pacing being too fast or slow or specific dishes not meeting expectations, overall the sentiment is highly favorable with many indicating they would return and recommend ETC to others for reliable high quality and memorable service.
Our waiter, Robert, really stood out with his attentive & detailed service. Even though there was a bit of a wait for our main course, he brought us a small starter to enjoy in the meantime, which made the experience even more pleasant. We ordered the chicken with chimichuri, which was tender & seasoned perfectly. We had the 40-day aged steak (ordered medium), & while it was undercooked (got rare), it was still good & flavorful (chimichuri helped). Didn't want to wait longer for the food, so we didn't say anything. The jumbo shrimps as sides complemented the meal beautifully crispy, fresh, & bursting with taste! The fries were ok, maybe a little bit of seasoning would help. Truly, excelent service by Robert & his team. Food quality was great. All in all, it is highly recommended!

Right away you feel welcomed by the hostess, the bartender & manager. We sat at the bar because we love the atmosphere. We have been served by Bruno each time . He's a wonderful bartender, engaging, helpful with menu options & suggestions, & makes a mean drink! The manager has visited us every time to make sure we are happy with the food & service. The food selection is varied.We have tried the entree's , the sides , steak & fish each with its unique presentation. The truffle potatoes were excellent. The calamari delicious. The sea bass perfect . All steaks cooked to perfection & very tasty. Bruno entertained us throughout our visits with information regarding the different alcohols & stories about his different experiences as a bartender. The early bird special price can not be beat! & you get a delicious dessert. If you choose to go after the early bird special you'll find the prices very reasonable & competitive with other steak houses . Of course not having to pay tax is a bonus! Etc. is a high end Steakhouse with great food, atmosphere & prices! We are definitely going back as often as possible..to eat & then play the slots!
Quelque subjection votre dressing a ceasar le goût est ocre & hier mon ami a manger la salade tout mélanger & la salade n'était pas fraiche mais par exemple les linguini au fruit de mer un pure délice ainsi que vos steak
Top notch experience! Highly recommend this steak house. We sat in the dining area but next time we'll sit in the casino area & enjoy some of that amazing live music. The only negative part about our evening is that we had to leave early to get home 😩
This review is strange as we were exposed to many things last evening. You are sitting in a restaurant housed in a casino that is far from Las Vegas. The crowd in the casino resembled Atlantic city but the restaurant itself was nicely decorated. The points lost were because of the incredibly amount of noise you had to deal with. Dinner was not quiet!!! Lost my voice just trying to talk to the others at my table. This was compounded by a terribly placed band that was playing live music just outside the glass walls of the resto. Who decided that this location was a good idea Our waiter wasn't great but the other staff tried to pick up the slack. The Manager James sensed we were not pleased & was a gentleman & stepped in to make things right. Who stood out was also the busman Michael who should be made a waiter instantly. So attentive & kind. So besides the crazy loud environment & an "interesting" crowd inside & outside the restaurant, the food was delicious. I shared the wedge salad which was delicious & had the 12oz prime New York strip. Probably the best steak I've had in a long while. It came exactly as requested medium rare & was truly delicious. Fries were also crispy & plentiful but was off put by the cumin spice dashed on them. Make sure you tell them if you aren't a fan like our whole table. Would go back but on a quieter night.

exceptional dining experience with outstanding service & expertly prepared steaks. From the moment you arrive, the staff ensures a warm, attentive, & seamless experience, making you feel truly valued. Whether for a special occasion or a luxurious night out, ETC. is a must-visit. Highly recommended! Thank you to Vincent & the team
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!

Un steakhouse plus haut de gamme que la normale. Bonne carte des vins. La nourriture était délicieuse. Le meilleur filet mignon de ma vie. Le service était excellent, nôtre serveuse Kim a été très professionnel & courtoise. Côté ambiance, une belle déco & il y avait de la musique. Seul petit bémol, c'était bruyant. On était quand-même samedi soir. Super resto!
We came for dinner Friday & were served by Sam at Etc.Steakhouse. We both felt that the service was so exceptional it merited a PERFECT REVIEW. It is because of Sam's service that made us tell many people about our experience at your establishment. He reminded us of the service we obtained in well known Las Vegas establishments. So we would love to applaud him & the busboys for the professionalism & great work they did. To the chefs who cook us our meals. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! The food was beautifully presented & absolutely devine. We cannot wait to come back & try other dishes. The only ick we did feel was coming into the restaurant there was a female hostess speaking with what looked like potentially management men. Once we walked in we were not acknowledged, even after we said hello with a smile the gentleman looked up & somewhat ignored our presence. It could have been a crazy night or dealing with a potential situation although an acknowledgement would have been appreciated. We also wanted to applaud your security who helped us navigate where to go as it was our first time. All together we just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful experience & I truly a hope you applaud your staff for a wonderful experience.

Nous avez été manger au restaurent ETC, La nourriture est incroyable steak coupe baseball. Nous avons été servi par une excellente serveuse nommé KIM. Service sur la coche une expérience mémorable au delà de nos attentes. Resto à recommander pour une soirée amoureuse &/ou entre amis
Absolutely phenomenal dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles & impeccable service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty & that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a steakhouse-elegant yet cozy, with just the right amount of lighting to create a comfortable & intimate atmosphere. The cleanliness of the establishment was also top-notch; everything from the tables to the restrooms (which are just outside the restaurant) was spotless, which only added to our confidence in the quality of the food. Speaking of the food, the steak was cooked to perfection-juicy, tender, & bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to the chef's expertise. Overall, this steakhouse exceeded all our expectations. The combination of outstanding service, a clean & inviting environment, & exceptional food made for an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to return!
