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.
Where do I commence. I'm not one to write reviews but this one is a Must. Celebrated my youngest 18 yr old daughters birthday Saturday evening the 14th March 2026. A group of 8 Mia famillia.

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.
