Empire Steak House

“I think the tomahawk steak ($65), and the emperor's steak for two ($120) are a bit steep, but there are other alternatives.”

“Anyway, the server had recommended the Emperor's steak for two and the Ribeye steak for the 3 of us, which we all shared.”

“I'll be back in New York three or four times this year, and don't care what the cab fare is I'm coming back every time.”

  1. Walked in w my manager for lunch this Friday.  We didn't have reservations but they gladly welcomed us.  It was seriously quiet with only a handful of tables.  But  the decoration is amazing. The  high ceiling with beautiful chandelier and they had a private dining area as well inside a wine  cellar /vault.   The complementary olive oil and bread was delicious.  We both ordered the French onion soup as my manager had dined there the week before and recommended it. It was one of the best I've had.  I had the boneless rib eye. The portion is perfect for lunch and absolutely well seasoned and tasty!   I was too stuffed and  to try any dessert, but I shall return to try!  
    The service was so  friendly and attentive!  smiles from beginning to end.
    One detail to women, the ladies room is dimly lit and the stalls are not deep to stand inside and close the door comfortably.  Thank god I'm petite , but I can't imagine woman larger than me. And, the toilet paper was one ply, but they afforded soft  thick hand towels. To me  that just doesn't make sense.

  2. Wow!!!! What an amazing place!!!! The service here was AMAZING!! Honestly I've never been to a place in NYC with better service. The managers name was Nino and he was to the t professional and so polite. Daniella made our drinks and they were soooo good!! I got the lychee martini! I wish we ate dinner here but the drinks were amazing and Nino personally walked us upstairs to the Kimberly Hotel rooftop for drinks. Again, amazing service. Will I be back? Heck yeah!!!

  3. Great addition to the midtown east steakhouse scene. Decor of the spot is sexier than any steakhouse in the vicinity. Appetizers are more than fine but the Cajun ribeye gives competitors a run for their money.
