Had a great evening, although it started a little rough. Booked thru OpenTable and they couldn’t find our reservation. I found it on my phone and they were able to find it. Our waiter was great and they work as a team. Keeping your drinks full, constantly bussing the table, but not in an annoying manner. Our waiter somehow figured out that it was our anniversary and put a candle in our dessert. Our steaks were amazing and the shrimp were huge and delicious. My wife’s NY Strip was brought to the table sizzling on a plate and they places the first few slices on our plate to check the temperature and it finished cooking on the plate. The manager came over and gave us complimentary port to finish our meal. Great setting, great food and service. Thx

It’s also great to know that your steaks and shrimp were cooked to perfection and that our manager’s gesture added to your special evening. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you and your wife back for another amazing dining experience! Best regards, Empire Steak House
