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!

I had dinner with longtime friends that I hadn’t seen in a while, one reason I’ve selected this restaurant for the meal was because of the relatively low noise level, we were able to have a conversation without shouting. Of course, the fact that the food is quite good didn’t hurt!

I love steak houses, and through the years, I tried many of the various ones in Manhattan. When I discovered Empire Steak House. the roaming ended, it is now the only one I got to. The Porterhouse is fantastic, so, so satisfying for a steak lover. And as an appetizer, the Sizzling Canadian bacon is meaty and flavorful. The wine list is very extensive, and the service is friendly, very helpful and attentive, but without ever being in the way. I highly recommend the place.
