We made a reservation for my daughters birthday, despite the COVID-19 issue. The place was somewhat empty, but that did not have a huge affect on things. Service was good, food was good, fish was slightly over cooked, but everything was quite tasty. The portions were very large, I don't think anyone finished their meal. Glad we could continue to support local and enjoy the night.

The staff is a perfect balance of friendly and casual yet service oriented. The food, drinks, and atmosphere is perfect. I took my husband to celebrate a promotion but I would also go for a relaxing evening out!

The halibut was delicious and paired nicely with an Irish Ale.

Great place all around.

The food was excellent (ginger rice bowl) and served in a very timely manner. Our waitress was very attentive. Our billing was incorrect, however, Sam took care of it with no fuss.

Had a great dinner with my granddaughter and wife.

Empire at 138 is a big city restaurant in a small town. The food quality is as good as can be fond in most large cities and the service is professional. This is a must for anyone who doesn't want to drive 100 miles to get a fine dining experience.

As always excellent service from the host greeting us to the check. Our favorite place in all of NW Ohio.

The Empire 138 is a very nice place with excellent ambiance, excellent service and excellent food for a reasonable price. If this were in a larger city, the prices would be significantly higher. My wife and I love the Empire and ask for their gift cards for birthday, Mother's/Father's Day and Christmas presents. We've never had an appetizer or meal we didn't thoroughly enjoy. I also have taken business guests here from out of state and they were thoroughly impressed. Also, the piano music, when available, is very good and adds to the experience.

One of the best meals we've ever had anyplace.

Waitress didn’t know wine etiquette. Didn’t present the bottle before attempting to open it. She didn’t do well with the cork screw and had to have the manager dig it out. Then gave us glasses and the bottle and politely left it with us. Ended up tasting and pouring for the table. Not a big deal, but surprised she didn’t know any better. She was very sweet, just under trained.

This is my pick for special occasion dinners. The food is always delicious, service perfect, and setting unique and upscale. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been coming here for 2 years now and I have never been dissatisfied. This is a true gem of a place and it is top notch in all respects. Great food and service!

Wonderful experience in downtown Tiffin. Food was excellent and the piano entertainment was very enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit.

A friend and I celebrated my birthday here last Friday. The food, service and ambiance were wonderful! We will certainly be back!

Had a really nice waitress, who provided us with excellent service. Lovely refurbished building for a great fine dining experience. Candle light and table cloths from an era gone by. And to add to the experience delicious food that was presented artfully. Yes, the prices are appropriate to the dining atmosphere and experience. We enjoyed the return visit. Thank You.

Had a wonderful dinner at Empire at 138. The scallops and fillet were to die for! Our waitress was very attentive and efficient. Will definitely visit the place again.

Food, service, and atmosphere were excellent! Awesome asset to downtown Tiffin.

We always have a pleasant time & exceptional food @ the empire.. thnx again...grace & sisters lunch

Took some friends from out of town for their first visit and the Empire did not disappoint. Excellent meals and cocktails - fantastic staff. They deliver a high end experience every time.

Always a fantastic experience. Consistently great food and excellent service.

Husband’s retirement celebration as a next day fabulous late lunch.

The restaurant was out of two different dishes our table was going to order. The dishes we ended up settling on were not to the quality of the price paid. We had been wanting to come to the restaurant for some time, very disappointing even the deserts weren't very good. Won’t be going back.

Spencer was an amazing server.

WE ENJOYED THE TIME TO JUST RELAX AND HAVE A NICE MEAL. WOULD LET OUR FREINDS KNOW. THERESA

Holiday get together

Each of our table of four ordered different entrees and were very happy with the food. The service was exceptional. The noise level is unbelievable and it is very difficult to carry on a normal conversation during the dinner hours. If this problem could be solved I would go to the Empire more often. Lunch time is my favorite time.

The waiter was constantly checking on us to make sure all was well. The service and food were exceptional. There wasn’t 1 thing that wasn’t outstanding

Our waiter was excellent.
Food was delicious.
Wait time on food was normal for a sit down restaurant.
Wait time on drinks was below standard given that the bartender could have easily walked the drinks over to us, particularily with no one at the bar.

If you are looking for excellent food, fantastic service, and a unique atmosphere then Empire 138 is what you are looking for!

Always a pleasant experience. Expectations are always met...service great! Wish they had the piano every night!

Family gathering

Food, service and entertainment were absolutely wonderful as usual!!!

The food was great! ❤

Wonderful setting. Waiter was very in tune with our needs. Service was very fast and food was prepared as stated. I had the seafood bisque and the lightly grilled romaine Ceasar salad. I was prepared to find the grilled romaine dish bland but was delightfully surprised to find the dish was delicious. The seafood bisque was equally delicious. We will be back.

Food is too pricey for what you get. I have been many places and would not go back here.

Like every time I eat at Empire the food, service and atmosphere are amazing! Still one of my favorite restaurant in Tiffin Ohio!

We had a wonderful dinner at the Empire at 138. Our kids gave us a gift card, so we splurged and got some extras. I had the scallops and my husband had a steak. They were both great. The place is beautiful.

Dined with childhood friends from out of town and they were impressed. Another wonderful dining experience at Empire! Thank you.

Excellent! Will return.
