    I recently dined at Empire Steak House, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely amazing—attentive, professional, and welcoming, making us feel like VIPs throughout the evening. We opted for the $60 pre-fixe menu, and it was worth every penny. The meal started with a variety of delicious appetizers that were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steak was the star of the show—cooked to perfection, tender, and full of that classic, rich steakhouse taste. To finish, the cheesecake was the perfect sweet ending, light and satisfying without being overwhelming. Overall, Empire Steak House offers an excellent dining experience with great value for the quality and service provided.

    We arrived 1 pm for having lunch at first time. When we came it was only a few tables around 5 or so. We ordered espresso martini and margaritas. Sadly margaritas glass was a bit dirty and sticky. After that we ordered some appetizers, and for main we ordered Bone-in NY strip (medium) and Double Rack of Lamb (medium well). The steak was just a little bit under but the lamb was way over cooked. No one came to check at our table after the first bite. Even no one poured our bottle of water throughout our meal. And finally Server checked our table after almost the last bite. And we told him the lamb was over cooked. But sadly he didn’t tell the manager. We had to let it go ‘til the end. Until the manager came to ask how everything was after we’ve finished our lunch. And we told him about over cooked lamb. We appreciated how he was going to handle the situation if only he could have checked it a little earlier. For this steakhouse at this level and cost over USD 175 per person, we’re expecting a better service, especially first timers ….
