Me and my husband went there for his birthday and we had an excellent experience with the restaurant! Great service too! I highly recommend this place!

TL;DR, Etc. is a chic yet cozy spot that offers a welcoming atmosphere and food that is as cutting edge as it is accessible to anyone. -And that concludes the bland portion of my review.- Listen, i like to eat and the catfish Po-mi really served full mouth, strong, and lasting flavors. I could not believe how much flavor they were able to pull from the mushroom pate. It really tied the whole sandwich together while letting the fish sing its own tune. My only critique would be that I wanted More Pickled Peppers! They were too good to be true and I think they could have stood out more. Next up, the staff were wonderful. I'm a boisterous kind of guy, and our(my wife and I's) server Christian was able to match my enthusiasm in a calm and professional way. I busted his chops about the menu, because I get so excited, and he was quick with excellent recommendations that felt taylored to my particular wants. He led me to the promised land, including the I'm Your Venus cocktail that got me to come back the next day(thank you Elaina, your creation killed it). Finally, Bill is an absolute hitman behind the bar. When my wife and I came back a day later for some early afternoon drinks, he served us a tour of cocktails that spoke to us personally. It made us feel special and spoiled.

What a wonderful experience! The food was phenomenal! It was plated beautifully and tasted even better. The mushroom miso soup was rich and creamy. The shrimp and pasta had so many flavors. Every bite had a new taste. The fish was cooked to perfection! My husband got the pork fried rice bowl and absolutely loved it. The dessert was outstanding. It was a brown butter hazelnut cake with burnt orange icecream.

We were staying at the Courtyard just down the street and found Etc online. The menu looked great, easy walk from the hotel so we gave it a try. The service was good, our server in particular was friendly and attentive. The food was very good, no doubt...but the plating was disappointing. The runner that brought us our meal said “you have the chicken, and you have the fish”...it would have been more appropriate to call the dish what it is, not just ID the protein. I would go back, and I would recommend it to others.

Had a wonderful meal here. The cocktails and food were amazing. I very much enjoyed the horseradish caesar and red fish. Our server Christian, was very sweet. We ate on the patio and it was lovely, situated on a beautiful, quiet street. Definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant. Service was excellent all around

The food and service were excellent. The flavors of each dish were well thought out and complex. My husband enjoyed the catfish and I loved the fried duck. The candied bacon was excellent. We also really enjoyed the ceasar and beet salads. We left very satisfied and appreciated that the portions were substantial. Thanks for a great dining experience!

etc. Restaurant is an absolute gem for lunch! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the quesadilla—crisp on the outside, perfectly cheesy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a delightful blend of savory ingredients that left me craving more. The cauliflower dish was equally impressive. It was roasted to perfection, with a delectable blend of spices that added a touch of warmth and complexity. The textures and flavors were spot-on, making it a standout dish. Overall, ETC. Restaurant exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, friendly service, and cozy ambiance. I can't wait to return for another wonderful dining experience!

I would rate the service as 13/10. The service was top-notch. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure that we had everything we needed, and he was always happy to answer our questions even though we went inside at the closing time. They have the best desserts. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at etc . I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
