Le steakhouse le plus dynamique de la région métropolitaine de Montréal, etc., offre une interprétation moderne de l'expérience steakhouse tout en ajoutant une influence méditerranéenne. Avec un menu qui va bien au-delà de nos nombreux morceaux de bœuf de qualité supérieure, y compris le Wagyu A5, tous vieillis à la perfection et grillés selon vos préférences ; nous proposons des plateaux de fruits de mer majestueux et des pâtisseries phénoménales ; le tout servi dans une ambiance électrique, au rythme de nos DJ invités - Ce n'est pas le steakhouse de votre grand-père !
Dans l'ensemble, les avis décrivent ETC Steakhouse au Playground Casino comme offrant un service exceptionnel, un personnel attentif et une cuisine de steakhouse de premier choix avec de bons vins et des portions généreuses, créant une ambiance chaleureuse et élégante qui en fait un choix privilégié pour les célébrations et les soirées en amoureux; l'expérience est décrite comme mémorable et souvent rapprochée d'un service de niveau Michelin par certains, avec un avantage mentionné de l'absence de taxes, bien que quelques critiques mentionnent le bruit du casino, des déceptions occasionnelles comme du poisson surcuit, des accompagnements peu savoureux ou coûteux, et des prix jugés élevés; malgré cela, les clients reviennent et recommandent fortement.
Food. Overrated! Better places for steak than here.
So a pretty harsh food review right? I say food is a 3 based on the premise that it's supposed to be a steak house first & foremost. If I had to evaluate all the dishes we had I would round it up to a 3.75 to a 4.0 max.
*Note: mains do not come with a side. The steak included two sauces.
So let's get straight to it - the food.
Their bread was fantastic, though it would have been better if it were warm. The olive spread was tasty but poorly blended & there was too much butter surrounding the pieces of finely chopped olives.
Caesar salad. Actually good portion for the money & presented well & all was fresh. Shaved Parm, bacon bits, & prosciutto was nice, but the prosciutto had little flavour.
Grilled cheese bruschetta. Delicious & good portion & actually good value. Cherry tomatoes with the hot honey drizzle was delicious as was the melted cheese - it all worked.
Mac & Cheese. Massive let down. Obviously this'may' be a personal take. I prefer this dish to have an aroma of cheese & also taste the cheese - both of which are absent. The noodles were too thick & a bit gummy. The cheese sauce (you can't see it) thinly covered the noodles but the sauce was so thin it lacked a creamy texture & had no mouth feel. It was covered with what appeared like orange coloured breadcrumbs without any discernible flavour. This was horrible. Choked on it twice like dry toast. I don't know why it would be there. Yes gourmet Mac & cheese can include breadcrumbs on top, but not so thickly placed all over & it's typically finished like a grating - this was just a load of dry crumbs. Then the truffles. Texture & taste - pointless additive. No added benefit except it sounds expensive & gourmet.
Blue fennel slaw. Tasty, fresh, good portion - very doable.
Sauces.
Bordelaise - nauseatingly sweet. This sauce should never have been like adding a spoon of sugar on your steak.
Peppercorn - good flavour, but texture was off as if butter was added causing it to become lumpy, perhaps it was a mix gone bad?
Porterhouse steak.
The meat did not smell good at all. Normally a good quality & properly cooked steak should arrive at the table & your nose would inhale an aroma making you mentally drool. The aroma here made me concerned to eat the meat.
I have never eaten such a fatty porterhouse steak, & I have had ones of less & more ounces precook. I kept having to cutout or spit out fat & gristle. The steak had zero flavour & we were not asked if we would like salt, pepper, steak spice, or finished with butter. So we went with how it's supposed to come. Horrible. Worst steak I have ever had the displeasure to have to chew, taste, & swallow. The sauces did not add value to make it more palpable.
Additionally? The steak was ordered Chicago style - with a char. This steak was so charred that the exterior & edges were so charred it was overdone & too hard.
Caramel Brûlé cake. Horrible. Firstly the cake seemed like a previously make thick hard cookie that was defrosted or previously refrigerated. Inside it's ok, but the exciting part - the'Brûlé' was a mini chilled thin piece atop the'cake' & was ok, but totally missed out the Crème or Caramel Brûlé aspect to the Brûlé dish.
Meal cost: $300 with one glass of wine.
Result. Would I ever go back.
NO. Not worth it. On the surface the menus is exciting & creative. But the execution on the protein side - well, I would go to Moishes, The Keg, or many other steak houses in the city (& surrounding) & for this money there are plenty of other places far superior.
Perhaps this was an off day, perhaps the cow had a bad day, perhaps the head chef was not doing QC at the window pass to make sure. But the steak was just bad & for $142.00 it should be excellent.
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.

We had a group of 13 people. The service & food were excellent. Highly recommended for good quality food & the service was top notch. Thanks you Etc team & a shout out to the manager David for always checking to see if everything was to our liking.
ETC Steakhouse delivers a dining experience that goes far beyond expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between classy & comfortable - ideal for a date night, a celebration, or just treating yourself to something exceptional.
Perfectly cooked to order, melt-in-your-mouth tender, & bursting with flavor. You can tell they use top-quality cuts & know exactly how to bring out the best in them. The sides & sauces complemented everything beautifully - not to mention the wine list, which was spot-on.
We left full, happy, & already planning our next visit. ETC Steakhouse sets the bar high - easily one of the best steakhouse experiences I've ever had.
The food quality is top notch, the service is amazing id go back for sure, highly recommend it. The music was a bit loud at the end of the meal but otherwise it's great the decor is nice & it's very clean.

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.
My first visit & Completely surprised by the quality & taste . Definitely top notch worth a visit...a little expensive but worth it !!. Only thing is music & environment is s little loud...but it's a casino!! Will definitely return
Kim delivered exceptional results with incredible professionalism. The quality of work exceeded all my expectations, & the level of customer care was outstanding. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to delivering perfection. Highly recommended!

Prices way too expensive for what you get. Main plates selections are very limited & do not come with anything included like Veggiies, potatoes, rice, bread. Fries or mushrooms or potatoes are all separate orders & expensive. Steak selection has only one 8 oz selection for a hang steak (like flank) or new york steak or other over-priced higher quality. We were very disappointed. Many other clients were sharing an order of potatoes or mushrooms. There was no live music. Very nice ambience but Resto is 3 star trying to be 5*+. Too bad. Recommend reservation. (Jan 1, 2005)
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!
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!
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!

Been going to The Rail for years with my wife who worked the poker tour, & Etc. completely blew us away. Next-level decadence, quality & service. An incredible meal every time. Really feel like we're ballin. Sam treated us like kings.
My filet mignon & vegetables were cooked perfectly, & the deconstructed cheesecake was delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Will definitely be back. next time however i will asked to be seated anywhere other than in the middle of the restaurant as I felt we were in the way,
