Amazing outdoor dining setup! Heaters keep the place nice and warm - I was able to take my jacket off on a cold night. The salad, branzino and mashed potatoes were all delicious. And the homemade tiramisu blew me away - the best that I've ever tasted. The service was truly outstanding - the staff made me feel so welcome. I'll be going back there this winter for more great outdoor meals!

Empire East is an outstanding restaurant which is consistent in providing excellent food service and ambiance. For carnivores the steaks and chops are a delight with more than ample portions. The fish entrees are on a comparable level. And there are plenty of other very good choices. The prices are not inexpensive but are worth it.

We just moved back to NYC a month ago after living in Cleveland for a year and a half. It was our first night out since being back. We LOVE Empire steak house. It was wonderful. Oh how we have missed it. Only thing I missed was the BIVI Vodka....which I can not and never have found it anywhere unless I come to Empire or Chazz’s. It is the BEST vodka I’ve ever had. Thanks Empire for an amazing welcome back to NYC dinner!
