Steak was great and well prepares. Same for the Steak Fries The Pasta was too much in tomato paste sauce missing fresh tomato’s and taste. The chicken for me as European too big but well made expect the cheese was not the greatest in compare to an Italian restaurant in Europe The staff was super friendly and did a great job Atmosphere was nice

The service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of having Alejandro as our server. He was so fantastic. Professional and cordial. He made great recommendations. Had the porterhouse and it was supreme: tender, tasty and charred top. The service is truly 5 stars. The manager Ridi cares about his customers. Me and my family frequent steakhouses. This by far is somewhere I will continue to visit. Loved it!

Steak was pretty good. Service was excellent. Everything else was just average (no lump crab in the crab cakes, just lower level crab; fried calamari just not right; buffalo mozzarella was ok, not great; etc.), but at top-tier prices. Just not at the same level as other steakhouses in NYC.

We were staying at The Pearl Hotel, so decided to try Empire on Christmas Day and was not disappointed. The food was brilliant and steaks cooked to perfection. The service was excellent and attentive.
