    1st time visiting - dinner after a show. We ordered NY Strip - petite filet - Bronzino - Steaks were delicious, Bronzino was larger than expected - whole fish already de-boned - oil and herbs on the side. The fish was absolutely delicious. Sides - onion rings, hash browns and mushrooms - very good. Service was excellent.

We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back next time you’re in New York! Warm regards, Empire Steak House Team
