Absolutely amazing is an understatement. Our server Leon was above and beyond throughout our experience here, yes eating here is an experience. The two of us had the oysters, Canadian bacon, Emperor steak for two (which was enough for 4 people), and sides. To top it off…the cheesecake was magnificent to say the least. Again overall great place, food and ambiance. We attended on a Friday night before a 7pm broadway show. The manager was even so kind to hold our left over food for us since we couldn’t bring the food into the theater.

I would like to tell everyone that this steak house Empire State Steakhouse on W 49th is the best value for the tomahawk steak is absolutely worth it!! Whether you choose Wagyu or traditional beef it’s absolutely worth it! The char on the steak the flavor is definitely delightful and pleasant, My sever definitely has the ability to be working at an upscale restaurant but his talents as well the cook for the evening, display their abilities to be called and upscale restaurants which entail garner the price tag! The owner/ manager both are pretty cool guys, the Hostess is funny but inviting, this is truly an experience out of Seinfeld. I also wanna thank the Empire steak for the desserts they gave my wife and daughter making their birthday a special moment! Thanks for the wonderful experience MY DAUGHTERS first time in NYC. Oh and we’re from Texas, so you knw we knw steak very well!! Thanks Empire Steakhouse
