Everything was good except the $21 mac n Cheese. It was by far the worst I have ever tasted. The service is fantastic, I mean the staff are on point in every way.

Was a wonderful evening…not rushed out! Our waiter Massimo was knowledgeable gave us great suggestions & service! Food was amazing. Also the bottle of wine at half price is a plus 😊
Horrible service. Waiter (with a beard) was pretty much acting like a smartass the whole night. Hes even lucky he got a tip from me. Very overrated place. The 14oz ribeye wasn't good. 85% of the steak was complete fat. Side portions were tiny. Total BS.
Upscale food & service. Ordered calamari which was fabulous. Main was halibut for me & sirloin for my guest. Sides of roasted veggies was good as well as mashed potatoes with cheese curds in them…yes cheese curds. My guest prefers them over me. Dessert of cheesecake & crème brûle were equally delicious. First rate service & atmosphere. Total bill $182 plus tip. Only one suggestion & has to do with lighting. Impossible to read the menu with ambient lighting. Other patrons also used the flashlight on there cellphones. Maybe put a little book reading light on the menu would help.
Wonderful dining experience with my family for a birthday celebration.
The steaks were amazing, the steaks were delicious & the wine pairing recommendation from our waiter Freeman was excellent!
Our waiter Freeman & his team provided us with a delightful & attentive dining experience!
Cheers !
La nourriture est 10/10, par contre il faisait tellement froid dans le restaurant, que nous avons dû nous dépêcher pour manger nos plats avant que tout soit froid. & que dire de l'odeur du fumoir du casino qui entre jusque dans le restaurant, c'est 2 grands points négatifs feront que nous y retournerons pas. En plus, on est venu nous demander de quitter la table comme il y avait une autree réservation au bout 1 heure 45 alors qu'on venait de terminer le dessert.

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 !
I had a wonderful experience at Ect. My server was exceptional very friendly & helpful. It was smaller than expected which I really appreciate as it's a more intimate dinning experience & not so loud & chaotic as larger restaurants. My rib eye was cooked perfectly, lobster tail was a great add on & the sides of French Fries & mashed potatoes were nicely flavored & a good portion size. I had a lovely evening & will definitely be returning.
