The restaurant is a steakhouse, and the steak was AMAZING! The scrimp, broccoli, and sauces had absolutely no seasoning. Rendering those items inedible. The waiter's customer service was fair, yet he was not very attentive. I struggled to get his attention on a few occasions. Our baked potatoes came out about 5 minutes after the main dishes. Due to the lack of seasoning, I requested bernaise sauce. The bernaise took over 10 minutes to get to the table. I then requested the sauce and remaining food be packed to go. Again, the steak was AMAZING! If you want an AMAZING steak, I recommend Empire but bring your own sides.

Celebrated our 11 year anniversary yesterday (3/8). We chose to dine off the pre-theater menu. Great options for great prices! I put in the initial reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, and we received 2 small glasses of moscato on the house to celebrate! Everything was delicious. I got the NY Strip steak and my husband ordered the bolognese. We also got the NY cheesecake and the tiramisu. We have decided to make this our must stop when we get the time to attend another broadway show! AMAZING!
