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!

    While I rated the service 4 instead of 5 it wasn’t because it was bad just a little slow. I think they wanted us to enjoy our time there and we did not feel rushed at all. The food was very good and the noise level was perfect for conversation. I recommend highly.

    Food was good. Sauté spinach was not cut and it was hard to swallow long leaves. I was celebrating a birthday and felt very rushed. My bill arrived without even asking or checking if we were done or wanted something else. Overall, I would not go back. It wasn’t anything special.

    Food was good, service wasn't up to par for this type of restaurant. Waiter seemed to forget about us and we spent more time with his support person than him. Unfortunately, the support person must have been new or in training because he didn't really attend to our table either. Not sure if this is because we were "tourists" but the service wasn't what I'm used to at a high-end restaurant.

    Either the reviews on OT are BS or they had a terribly off night. Service was awful and food was equally bad. Wife’s Caesar salad had very little dressing. Lobster Bisque was missing the lobster and bisque. It tasted more like seafood stock with some tomato sauce. Wife’s lobster was overcooked. My steak was supposed to be 8 ounces. It was more like 5-6 and was horribly overcooked. The table next to ours had filets that were horribly undercooked. The best part of dinner was the sides. There are far better steak houses in NYC. Shame on me for buying the review hyped on OT and ignoring the other better steak houses in NYC. Won’t make that mistake again
