About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for business meals
Empire Steak House, conveniently located at 237 west 54 street near Broadway in New York City, showcases modern décor in a classy, but trendy atmosphere. The all-white marble bar and sprawling dining room provide an additional air of sophistication. While Empire's steaks are acclaimed for its famous dry-aged porterhouse for two, the rest of the vast menu is equally stellar, featuring a wide range of fresh seafood such as 4-to 5-lb lobsters, Chilean Sea Bass, Salmon, Yellow Fin Tuna, towering seafood platters, and much more. The eatery offers a highly selective wine list and features many of California's most sought-after vintages. The Zagat rated restaurant is owned and operated by the Sinanaj family. The Sinanaj's success dates back to their first restaurant opening of Empire Steak House in 2010. The space is 4,500 square feet and can accommodate 230 guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, private rooms available!

    Our third visit, and we keep coming back for the exceptional service and food quality. Our go-to Emperor's Steak For Two is a perfectly aged and prepared porterhouse for two (+)... Worth every penny. The 54th Street location is elegant and subdued with high ceilings, and the service staff friendly and helpful (thanks Qerim!). It's hard to find a better porterhouse in NYC.

We’re honored to have you back for a third visit and thrilled that our Emperor's Steak for Two continues to impress. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoy the elegant ambiance of our 54th Street location and that Qerim and the team made your experience even more special. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again for another unforgettable porterhouse! Best regards, Empire Steak House Team

    Got the Wagyu Tomahawk Steak for 2, was very worth it! Best steak my wife and I have ever had, worth every bit of that price. Service was very fast and friendly! Stayed at the Hilton connected to it so it was great to just walk down get a bite to eat and go back to the room! Highly recommend
