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!

Steaks were very good. Wedge salad with blue cheese had very little blue cheese and when we asked for more what we received was a weird green color and didn’t have a good taste. Dessert was mediocre. Tables were very small. Service was less than stellar

Excellent food and generous portion of main courses and side dishes. Appetizer came quickly and then we waited a long time for our main courses. Had to wait for our water to be re filled a couple of times. The couple next to our table came after us, had their meals and left before we got our main courses. There were a couple of big parties next to us but that’s no excuse. Overall still a nice steak house.
Empire Steak House WestResponded 2 days ago
Dear Fran, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and portions, but we sincerely apologize for the delays in receiving your main course and the issues with water refills. We understand the importance of timely service, especially when dining with us, and we will review your feedback with our team to ensure improvements are made. We truly appreciate your kind words about the overall experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a flawless visit next time. Best regards, Empire Steak House Management

The filet for two was outstanding. It was done to perfection. The service was great. The only drawback was that the gratuity was included and I wasn’t told. Luckily I noticed as I reviewed the bill. It should have been explained.
