    I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

    We reserved a table for our daughter and her friends for her birthday and pre-ordered a bottle of champagne. Benny was so gracious on the phone, and made our daughter's experience so special by giving their table extra attention and lots of laughs. My daughter said her homemade pasta bolognese was one of the best she's had in NYC.

    We went to Empire for the first time. Our waiter was awesome. Very attentive. The only odd thing was that we had to eat upstairs in the Burger area. The downstairs was closed for an event. Outside of that, food, wine and service was great.
