Celebrated our 11 year anniversary yesterday (3/8). We chose to dine off the pre-theater menu. Great options for great prices! I put in the initial reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, and we received 2 small glasses of moscato on the house to celebrate! Everything was delicious. I got the NY Strip steak and my husband ordered the bolognese. We also got the NY cheesecake and the tiramisu. We have decided to make this our must stop when we get the time to attend another broadway show! AMAZING!

A hidden gem right in the theater district. Great food, wine, and service. We came in October’24 and loved it, and made it a point to come back while on our wedding anniversary trip. My husband and I shared the ribeye, asparagus, and a large baked potato, and weee extremely satisfied. The bread is delightful as well. I highly recommend Empire Steak House!
