etc. Steakhouse in the Evening
Dinner service at etc. Steakhouse begins at 5 p.m. From Sunday to Thursday it closes at 11 p.m. On Friday and Saturday the kitchen stays open until midnight, which suits a weekend player who takes a late dinner break. All times on this page are Eastern time.
Holiday hours for the steakhouse are not published. If your evening falls on a holiday, a call to (450) 635-7653 before you plan the break settles it.
ORSO Trattoria Moderna
ORSO Trattoria Moderna serves from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. The days of the week those hours apply to are not stated, so a call to (450) 635-7653 is sensible before you count on a particular night.
A Playground Player's card is required to eat there. If you already play poker in the building, you hold one, since the card is needed to sit at a table. Membership costs nothing and can be set up on the spot. The trattoria seats walk-ins only and takes no reservations, so plan to arrive and ask for a table.
THE RAIL Bistro
THE RAIL is a coal-fire bistro that has been running since 2010. It has 130 seats and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. That makes it the kitchen to ask about if your break comes before the evening.
Its hours are not listed in this guide. For a meal at a set time, call THE RAIL directly at (450) 635-4318 and ask when the kitchen closes that day.
Food Without Leaving the Seat
Players in cash games are given food at no charge. Drinks come at no charge to every player, in cash games and tournaments alike. The poker room itself runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so the table is there whenever you return from a break.
One general courtesy, not a house rule: tell the table before you step away for a longer meal. That way no one is left wondering where you went.
