My boyfriend and I had a great time celebrating his birthday at Empire Steak. Although I can not recall his name, the waiter was really pleasant. He was working the bar and floor because there was not enough staff because of the snowstorm. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the price was fair. My boyfriend and I are going back.

Been frequenting Empire for over 20 years…during Restaurant Week and at other times. The RW menu is an excellent value for a 3-course meal, and it has a variety of options for carnivores and vegetarians. I was disappointed in that the petite filet was no longer on the RW menu, as I do not usually care for NY Strip. However, the strip steak was expertly prepared and was not thin and dry as I usually see it. Service is always impeccable and attentive without being oppressive.

Dear Allyson, Thank you so much for your continued support over the past 20 years! We truly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that, overall, you enjoyed your Restaurant Week experience with us. We’re sorry to hear the petite filet was no longer on the menu, but we're glad to know that the strip steak exceeded your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and appreciate your kind words about our service. Warm regards, Empire Steak House
