After watching a YouTuber review of his dining experience, I decided to visit Empire while visiting the xmas tree and Boccelli concert. We had the porterhouse for two, mash potatoes and cream spinach w the tiramisu. Oscar was our server who was awesome. As well as the hostess to the other waiters saying Hi as we walked to our table. Felt like we were home. Spoke w the manager as well. Excellent staff you would enjoy eating here.

Had the best experience for lunch. They even fit us in early than our reservation. Food was fantastic and serve was top notch. They even brought out a cheesecake with a candle for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Highly recommend.

Based on reviews, I booked a reservation for one to celebrate my birthday in NYC. Empire Steakhouse did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, the salad, ribeye steak, and baked potato was well-presented and very delicious. The crust and the flavor on the steak was one of the best I’ve experienced. They have an extensive wine list with several choices for single glasses. I also enjoyed the complimentary cheesecake they presented me to celebrate. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit.

We highly recommend Empire Steak House Times Square. We had calamari as a starter and 3 choices of steak - 12 oz filet Mignon, New York strip, and Empire filet Mignon to share between 2. All were cooked as requested. All were delicious as were the sides - asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, fries and Empire fries. For dessert we had New York cheese cake which was light and fluffy, chocolate ice cream and apple crumble cake. We were treated to a glass of wine as we were celebrating our 30th anniversary. The entire evening was just what I hoped for - great service and a great steak dinner. Would love to repeat the experience.
