The service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of having Alejandro as our server. He was so fantastic. Professional and cordial. He made great recommendations. Had the porterhouse and it was supreme: tender, tasty and charred top. The service is truly 5 stars. The manager Ridi cares about his customers. Me and my family frequent steakhouses. This by far is somewhere I will continue to visit. Loved it!

This steakhouse was so wonderful. The atmosphere was fabulous and the server was even better. I can’t explain how good the food was but it’s a 5 star to me. The steak was bigger than I thought and it was very tasty.

We had a wonderful experience! The steak was one the best we ever had, if not the best. We started with the Fried Calamari Appetizer, which was very fresh and succulent. We tried the Prime New York Strip and the Bone-in Ribeye. The outer layer was so crispy, and inside, it was tender and juicy, and the fatty parts in the Ribye almost melted inside our mouths. The food is expensive but really good. The service was excellent, and everyone was very nice to us.

Empire Steakhouse, Times Square completely met expectations! The food (we had for starters, bacon and a shrimp cocktail. Entree was the Porterhouse for 2 (rare time where the picture we saw online prior to going to a restaurant totally matched what we were served, and it was spectacular!, plus Empire Home Fries, which are to die for. Ended with coffee and possibly the best Tartufo we have ever had. The chocolate shell was not overly hard which made it very easy to eat and the ice-cream was very creamy.) Service was excellnet (Lor was our waiter.) Yes, it's an expensive restaurant, but we knew that going in. One of the exceptions where we walked away from an expensive restaurant saying we would return - it was that good!
