What a time we had. Gorgeous restaurant with the most beautiful chandelier. Steak was great we also have tried a lot of appetizer. Everything was amazing. Very nice and helpful staff. 10/10

Great location near Times Square. This steak house delivers on good steak at a fair price. It's definitely on the expensive side, but in line for quality steak. We had a large group of over ten people. There were several waiters or bus boys helping us, so they kept topping off water, clearing plates and attending to our needs. Most of the appetizers were seafood, which the group appreciated. I would recommend if you are looking for steak dinner and some nice seafood appetizers. The only negative is they do not have a full liquor license so if you want something other than beer or wine, go to their other locations.

Talk about a melt in your mouth Porterhouse for two, a good Malbec and a few shareable sides. HEAVEN.

Fantastic food and service next door to our hotel! Staff was very friendly to my family which includes a 7 yr old. We had the branzino, crab cakes, Mac and cheese and broccoli. All were very, very good. Mac and cheese had truffle flavor - a nice surprise. The broccoli with olive oil and garlic was delicious. My husband loved his French onion soup. We both enjoyed our entrees. It was nice to be able to order a half bottle of wine since we were out with our son. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert. A wonderful dinner in a lovely setting on our last night in NYC.

Finding this place was easy, and upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess. We had a reservation, but since we arrived early, they initially couldn't find it. After my fiancée showed them our confirmation, they seated us anyway, as the restaurant was nearly empty. However, the hostess informed us we couldn't bring in our recently purchased tea and had to either toss it or leave it up front. In a major tourist area like Times Square, this seemed unreasonable, but we finished our drinks and handed them over, only for them to be discarded. We were seated at the back of the restaurant, where a staff member was oddly cleaning cups. Being the only two guests at the time, we expected better service, but we had to flag down our waiter multiple times. When I asked about gluten-free options, he initially said there were none, then suddenly remembered a few choices. This lack of menu knowledge was concerning (training opportunity). Looking at the drinks menu, I saw a "Champagne & Sparkling Wine" section and ordered an Italian Moscato, expecting it to be sparkling. When it arrived, it was completely flat. I questioned the waiter, and he later admitted it wasn't a sparkling Moscato. Sensing my dissatisfaction, he offered to replace it with a Prosecco, which at least had bubbles but was drier than I expected. The manager later approached with the menu, seemingly to prove their labeling was correct. I explained the confusion and suggested - that they clarify it better to avoid misleading customers. At this point, we were tempted to leave due to the concerns and lack of experience - but decided to give their steaks a chance. We ordered a medium-well NY strip and a medium filet mignon. Thankfully, the steaks were fantastic, with the NY strip being a generous portion, cooked correctly per our request and - smokes it was huge with a bone! Ratings: Parking - Not needed (Times Square location) Customer Service - 3/5 Knowledge/experience- 2.8/5 NY Strip Steak w/ Bone - 4/5 Petite Filet Mignon - 3.5/5 Oysters - 2/5 Octopus - 2/5 Price - 2.8/5 Overall, as a steakhouse, the seafood wasn't a highlight. The knowledge and Service clearly could be improved, but if you're here for steak, it's well merited.

Excellent service. Ordered the cheeseburger and was amazed by the size and flavor. Would totally recommend for service, food and atmosphere. Had cheesecake for dessert and plan to go back tomorrow for seconds.

Loved this place! To me a steakhouse is a steakhouse but Empire just has this old-school NYC vibe you don't see much anymore. The dining room is cozy and plush with banquettes lining either side a couple steps up from the tables in the middle of the floor. The lighting is moody and soothing. Most important to me - the noise level is so low - not by just NYC standards but by any standard. The food is just as satisfying - I ordered the petite filet which was cooked to utter perfection. Service is friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back.

First time trying empire steak and it was definitely good. The fried calamari was my favorite appetizer for sure. The meatballs in red sauce were pretty good and the tomatoes with mozzerella were not bad either. The oil on the table was really high quality so that was awesome. The NY strip was cooked nicely and I enjoyed the meal overall. The waiters were extremely fast and nice.

First time here for restaurant week lunch. Service was excellent and very friendly. The food and ambiance were good. I wish the portions of mashed potatoes and veggie were a bit bigger, but that is my only complaint on the food. My slightly bigger complaint was the difficulty in maneuvering inside of the bathroom stalls. There is literally no room between the toilet and the stall door.
