Best kosher meat restaurant in Teaneck. Fo' real. Chef Taster Menu blew my mind, melted my face, and lives on in my dreams. Wait staff is pro. Chef is too creative to be a mere mortal. I literally can't recommend this place enough. I wish it cost less, but for special occasions it is worth every cent. And it is BYOB so you can drink as much as you wish without that doubling your cheque. So that's groovy. read more

Tonight, I hosted a group of 27 physicians and the restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate us even though they were booked for the evening. The food was exceptional and all enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for going above and beyond in creating an exceptional evening. Donna read more

I have nothing but love for etc steakhouse. The food is always outstanding, and the portions are perfect. The chef, Seth Warshaw, always provides a unique dining experience for all occasions! The atmosphere is intimate and cute. You do really need to make reservations if you know you are coming, because they fill up fast, but it's definitely worth a trip! More recently, they have a farm where they get some of their produce from, sustainable and local produce farm-to-table! This is a hugely growing trend in non-kosher establishments, so bravo to etc steakhouse for bringing it to the kosher world! read more

See all

Lovely restaurant with nice atmosphere. We went her for our anniversary and being in this restaurant felt like a special occasion. My wife and I both had steak and we loved it! Oh, and get the gnocchi, it was very good. For dessert, we had this brownie that was topped with a lace cookie and ice cream, which was outstanding. Our waiter was very warm, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food was tasty and ambiance very nice. But, my friend got food poisoning and I know a few other people who don't eat there anymore because they got sick too. read more

I have been here many times and never been disappointed. We have eaten at the majority of top shelf kosher restaurants in the world and ETC was my choice in the whole tri-state area to go to for a significant birthday. Today they seem to have gone above and beyond but it seemed to the every day fare. My husband had the new lamb dish and I had my old stand by 8oz. Steak. From the way everything was cooked to the presentation it was all great. The server was knowledgable and polite and I can hardly wait to return. I only wish they would have a lunch service so I could take business colleagues. read more

favorite kosher restaurant outside on NYC. very consistent. Great steaks and i like that you can get the sides from any other main dish if you dont care for the ones that technically come with the one you order. Inaddition, the fact that you can bring your own wine can save you 100 bucks!! highly recommend read more

This is a great place to go for a special meal. The food is always amazing. It is presented so well. Staff extremely attentive.

AMAZING. A keeper of a place. The steaks were perfectly done and top quality. The vegetables were perfectly done. The staff was very attentive. While it's not cheap ...., for the price, they absolutely deliver. read more

As a major, kosher "foody" (both cooking and eating), I had heard about etc and had been planning to make the long trip from Long Island out to Teaneck to sample the fair. I finally had the opportunity this past Tuesday night. I have to say that I was extremely impressed! My wife and I were seated quickly (we made an early reservation, 6:00, in order to avoid the rush) and served warm rolls and infused olive oil. This was followed by an amuse bouche of salmon tartar. It was delicious! (I had my wife's too since she doesn't eat raw fish). For our starters, we were recommended by our extremely friendly and helpful waiter to order the bbq oxtail dim sum. We also order the steak and eggs. Both were fantastic! The steak, of the steak an eggs, had a smoky, jerky like flavor, but chewed much easier. The perfectly fried egg and rich crostini were the perfect accompaniment. The fried dumplings were filled with a BBQ oxtail and topped with a guacamole. Yum! For our mains, we ordered the 3 peppercorn encrusted fillet and the chili rubbed hanger steak. Both were cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Sides were a bit confusing at first but worked. As was already mentioned in a previous review, the chef (Seth Warshaw) made his way out to the dining room during the meal to introduce himself and to inquire as to how things were. Very classy. All in all, great food, great service, great experience. A definite winner in my book. Hope to return and will definitely recommend. read more

Went for an early dinner, and were very satisfied. The food was delicious, from the beer bread, to the chicken soup (nothing like what mom used to make), to the short ribs and steak, The waitstaff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Service was prompt and courteous. We were happy to see the restaurant fill up by the time we left. We would definitely go back. read more

This place is great, staff is very nice food is deliciouse. Highly reconsided Bring your own Booz. Came from queens. Bypassed the city. read more

Besides for the very friendly service, you waiter Ronny knew an impressive amount about the different cuts of meat, how there were made and where in the cow they came from.... The food came in a great time, and it was absolutely delicious. The stack of ribs was so soft, it literally melted in the mouth. and the honey mustard sauce that was on it, was delicious and had a great sweet/sour - honey/mustard flavor. I personally like to chew my meat a bit, yet I don't like it chewy or tough or anything, so the Hanger steak was perfect for me... the meat was soft, and fell apart in my mouth after a few tender chews. We were also able to switch our side dishes that came w/ our main dish, so that was nice. we got the smoore dessert, which is a chocolate lovers dream. it was jar container with it's had gram cracker crumbs/cookie thingy on the bottom, a layer of delicious, sweet, chocolate, gooey, filling in the middle and a egg white/marshmellowy type thing on top. (I know it's not so descriptive, but tasted good) And the bread was amazing!!! it's a beer bread that's super addictive, so make sure not to fill up on it. and you can get the recipe for the bread on the way out. Also the little mint candies are great because no matter how delicious the food is, I don't want to walk out with the meat flavor in my mouth. and one little mint candy did the trick. would totally come back again. ps. the best time to come is like 5:30 because it's very quite then... read more

This place is a gem! The food is ABSOLUTELY delicious and the staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, perfect for a date! The chef is a genius and should really win a kosher culinary award. Highly recommend Etc. Steakhouse for special treat! read more

I enjoyed the steak, but they never have the ETC cut for me. The beer bread is great and the BYOB makes it so easy to buy what you like without the markup... It's a good place - but pricey. Have not been disappointed. We had the pepper steak and the filet. Delicious read more

My family and I enjoyed our dinner very much. The service was professional and the steaks were quite good. The dining experience as a whole was lacking a bit, however. I'm ok with the spartan decor, but the place across the street looked more exciting. Also, though it's BYOB, some up to date wine glasses are a must. If you're charging top dollar, you must expect sophisticated clientele and they expect proper table settings. The "palette cleanser" after apps was a good idea, but the rich ice cream is inappropriate and should be replaced by sorbet. Lastly, the chocolate soufflé was underwhelming--heavy as soufflés go. I don't eat at many kosher places, but I'm sure you're guests have all eaten in the good NYC kosher spots. That's the bar this restaurant should jump over. read more

I went for dinner tonight to etc and the food was great. From the attentive staff and the house made bread things were starting off perfect. I ordered gnocchi and risotto for an appetizer and both were delicious. The short ribs were not you average rib. They had such rich flavor and my friend ordered a steak cooked just the way she likes it. Overall I'm so happy with my experience and can't wait to go back!! read more

Etc was fantastic by all accounts. We did a 5 course tasting menu, and everything came out perfectly flavored. They also brought out a few bonuses between courses, which was a welcome touch. Their short-ribs are out of this world. Service was quick and they did an excellent job of talking to us before and during the tasting to customize it. BYOB is nice to keep the cost down (and there's a kosher wine store around the corner). Looking forward to the next time I can go back! read more

Fabulous food! Pricey but a great experience. You really have to love meat... but the service is terrific.

We been coming here for years and everything was great food, customer service and ambience. Every time we have guest flying in we take them there. But the past few we were very disappointed. We made a reservations one night and we were late its was a heavy rain and we are coming from upstate we called them and said its ok to come in. after a few weeks we called to make a reservations again the lady on the phone was rude she remembered us from the last visit (shows we come here often) she was saying on the phone that we need credit card to secure reservations (which is ok) and telling us if we are late she is going to charge us estimated bill(not ok)!!! who does that???? and since we usually come with our kids we usually order schnitzel specially for them and she said on the phone by the way we don't do special order of schnitzel anymore!!! I don't want to go there anymore but we promised our guest that we are taking them there. When we got to the restaurant we asked who took our reservation apparently it was the lady manager. i don't know if she is new or not but she is really RUDE! we told the staff what happened and they apologize but the manager she didn't even come out to do such. We don't want to go back there anymore because of that experience. we have been going there for years even before we had kids and we were never late we are late once and nasty weather and this is what we get. By the way nowadays their food is not as great its too salty maybe the chef was out that day and the manager is cooking i don't know and last time we were there they gave us a raw schnitzel so they have to cook another one. in fairness though all the staff were great friendly and accommodating :) read more

ETC Steakhouse is fabulous! They make what Seth the chef calls a PB& J. Its oxtail with peanut butter and jelly in a wanton. The most delicious appetizer my husband and I ever tasted. We enjoy that the menu constantly changes. Its a BYOB so that makes it more affordable. The muse bouche at the beginning of each meal is a very unique and delightful touch. We have only seen that on TV food programs. Very elegant. We definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

My husband & I decided to treat ourselves for our anniversary, and it was worth it! We tried something from each course, and we were consistently impressed. The food was unbelievable, the wait staff was courteous (and more importantly, very helpful for those of us uneducated steakhouse goers). Also, the dishes were very creative, and even the sides are worth mentioning in their own right. A great dining experience all around! read more

Used to love the place. My wife and I went there recently and was quite disappointed. The portions were very small. The waiter claimed the bone in rib steak was 20 oz..not even close. Was more like 16 oz. And was quite bland. The short ribs used to be a very generous portion, my wife's portion was very modest. Hope they get their act back together. Not worth being cheap in the long run! read more

Went to ETC and noticed that the menu changed: less selections to choose from. Our family has gone here for celebrations and before New Year's Eve, there was more food choices on the menu than even now. Once I had the same steak and noticed something was "off" about the seasoning. We haven't returned and might not because of the high price. Used to be much better than recently. read more

Okay. Don't come here if you like boring food. I loves everything about this place. The food was adventurous,the service was impeccable and, amuse bought? Really awesome for a Kosher restaurant! The cook really knows his flavors and they are constantly changing things up, which I love. Go! You're missing out... read more

Excellent kosher restaurant. The food is great. The service was great. I wish they would dim the lights a bit for dinner service. The place seemed way to bright and sterile. read more

anyone who gave this place less than 5 stars is an idiot. this place is the best kosher restaurant i've ever eaten in (yes, better than tierra sur in CA). their food is creative, beautifully plated and always delicious. service is quick and polite, and my water glass is always full. got their taster's menu recently and it was worth every cent. read more

I went here for a celebratory dinner, and I was amazed! I must admit I entered with a snobby attitude that ETC couldn't compete with all the steakhouses in NYC, but the food and service was great. I ordered the short ribs for the entree, which was one of the best I ever had- juicy, melt-in-your-mouth, tasty...my mouth is watering just thinking about it! My party arrived at 9:30 and was seated and served promptly. read more

Second time at ETC. first time food was bad. This time place was so loud and I could not have conversation with my wife. Food was okay not great. Had risotto which tasted like flavored brown rice and steak was very salty. Service was great. Made a mistake with my wife's meal and corrected and even brought a free Gnocchi for my wife to eat while she waited for new meal to be prepared. read more

Sorry but this was a horrible dining experience. The service was very slow , the food was terribly overpriced and poor prepared.. We were a party of 4 on Sunday night. We started with salads which were an assorted lettuce mixture 2 of the entrees were skirt steaks and short ribs. Both meat dishes were served lukewarm and the ribs came to our table 20 minutes after the other entrees. The side dish of mashed potatoes was actually served COLD. The CHOCOLATE flavored Bar-B-Que sauce was overwhelming and killed any chance the short ribs might have had. We were still hungry so we decided to share 2 orders of the zeppole balls (recommended by our waiter) for dessert.. Another BIG mistake. We got 3 tiny golf ball size dough balls with assorted spices and sauces. Not worth $7... $14 for 6 zeppole balls !! This was terrible food and a terrible dining experience for the money we spent NEVER GOING BACK !!! read more

Amazing service, outstanding food. ETC. called me in the morning to confirm my reservation for that evening. Ambiance is nice compared to the dark and loud eateries in NYC. Food is expensive, but portions are large and taste is incredible. Waiters bring around amuse bouche during the meal, compliments of the chef. Menu is short and easy to read, not pages long like other places. Specializing in just a few dishes really stands out. read more

Love the food. Love the Ambiance. You will not find a more upscale resturant in Bergen County!!

Worst meal at a steakhouse in years.We were celebrating two anniversaries and wanted a good meal-foolish.Three of the 4 meals were inedible.My wife had chicken breast that was so dry she was lucky to have the salad and had something to eat.My daughter-in law had the sushi something that she left 90% on the plate.I had the hanger steck that looked like a turd,when I asked the waiter what happened to the rerst of it he ignored me.The only decent thing was it is byob. Last week we wnt across the street to NOBO,maybe a notch more $ but so much better.Great waiter,good food,I couldn't finish the aged steak but it was great,etc ETC is a 1 of 10 and NOBO is 9 of 10. My wife sent an e mail to etc and didn't receive a response. Obviously we are not going back to ETC/Nathan L O read more

More than delightful dining at this petite chic restaurant. Superb ingredients in every dish. We had arugula salad, rolled rib steak, duck risotto, hanger steak, short ribs, filet steak, parsnip soup, and fried donuts with ice cream (soy based). Each dish was honed to perfection with inspired ingredients and tasteful presentation -without fussiness. Hats off (or in the case of this kosher restaurant -Yarmulkas on) for chef Seth Warshaw. Would recommend this restaurant to steak lovers of all denominations. All the meats were incredibly tender and tasty. The potatoes and squash sides were in each preparation delicious. As for the ice cream, it was so lovely and light, who needs cream anyway? BYO wine must be not only kosher, but also meshuval. Kosher with an epicurean, hip and smart attitude. Some other reviewers almost scared me away from trying etc., but so glad I found out for myself how off the mark they were. It is a pretty penny to dine here, but the service was excellent, portions are generous and the quality of their food stands up to the best out there. read more

Went there last night with my daughter and some friends and I must say I was VERY impressed. I read the reviews beforehand even though I hate reading reviews because you almost always get the whole range from horrible, will never go there again to fabulous, can't wait to go back. I've eaten at a number of very expensive restaurants both here in the U.S. as well as abroad (last summer in Copenhagen where the food was exquisite) and this place ranks up there with many of them! From the beer bread to the 2 appetizers (gnocchi and the buffalo cauliflower which was superb) to the main courses which we all tasted each other's dish. The chili and chocolate short ribs melted in my mouth and the peppercorn filet were excellent. Also enjoyed the hanger steak which is one of my favorite meats. The desserts (as previously reviewed) weren't worth the money they charge. The sorbet which was what I ordered was really good - you get all the flavors and can't order just one but tiny is probably the best way to describe it. Each flavor was about barely 3 or 4 small bites' worth. Again, it was good but totally overpriced. There was a group of 6 sitting nearby who were very, very loud and annoying almost the entire time we were there and the staff tried to get them to quiet down. The restaurant felt so bad for us they gave me a certificate toward my next visit which I am definitely going to use! I don't know if they are consistent but it's worth a try! read more
