Reviews for Empire Steak House West in New York, NY

Looking for a 4 star night out? Here it is. Top notch service conveniently located between Hilton and Marriott properties just... off Broadway. The bar was full of customers and led me to believe the restaurant also doubles as a snazzy watering hole. Typicalupscale service including a visit to our table from the GM. We came in late for appetizers and dessert. Definitely want to comeback for the full experience. Read more

We had a delightful meal here, so much so that we came back a second night. Our server, Lira, was excellent and quite... personable. We will make a point of coming here when we return to NYC. Over two nights, we had grilled octopus, the filet, andthen Branzino. All were excellent. I highly recommend it! Read more

Went during restaurant week after walking by admiring this place for years. Place was oddly empty but service was good - kudos... to your friendly team. The sirloin steak was very good, as was the calamari - yum! Now, let’s talk about the breading on thatday old chicken parm. I know chicken - it was from yesterday, at best. Also, the cheesecake crust was inedible (chewy like agummy bear, rubbery texture). What was that? Since we don’t like to be difficult and did eat most of it without involving themanager, you’re getting two stars. You have a dream location and set-up, please do better. Read more

Came here for restaurant week. The menu is $59 for 3 courses, and they also offer a selection of wine for $49 a bottle. There... are a lot to choose from compare to a lot of restaurant week menus. We got there around 5 the place was empty so we got seatedright away with reservation. Service was really good. Our waiter was friendly and always checking on us, other staffs alsowelcomed us to come with warming greeting when we walked out, manager came to our table too to make sure everything is good. Ihad fried calamari for appetizer, very crispy. And portion is large. The medallion filet mignon was ok, cooked to perfect butthe cut is thin, the mushroom sauce was not salty enough to my taste. Tiramisu was not the best, lack of coffee flavor, morecreamy than what it supposed to taste like. In general Had a good meal and very filling. Good experience overall Read more

My family and I came to Empire Steak House to celebrate my mother's birthday and we all had an awesome time. The staff... (especially, Eddie/Eddy- as he told us to call him).

Excellent service from the moment we walked in to our departure.Now, the food was excellent ????????my Eggplant Parmigiano was SoooOo good as a starter, the steak was cooked well..and seasoned???????? garlic butter broccoli was so good.

we had an unforgettable dinner in the empire steak house. the manager, ardijan is one of the most down-to-earth and nicest... people I've met lately. the chefs did an amazing job. we ate a japanese a5 wagyu and the emperor steak with which ardijanoffered us a fine wine which didn’t disappoint us in any way. the side dishes were very successful and I can recommend thecreme brulee to everyone! the ambience was extremely pleasant and not too loud as not to be able to talk to each other. if therewere more stars to be awarded, Ardijan and his restaurant would have deserved them. te?ekkürler karde?im!

This was our anticipated dinner date for the night. On the whole everything was just OK. Our waitress was great and helpful but... the food was a little lackluster. We did appreciate the relaxed dress code due to walking the city all day prior to dinner. Theoysters were alright. They had Long Island oysters which lacked a salty, brined profile that I look for in oysters. Thechocolate lava cake was a little dry but the crème brûlée was spot on. The steak was good but lacked flavor. We were giventhe option of a table or a window seat at the bar and we chose the latter. The atmosphere and ambiance was nice but the fooddisappointed. Read more

We dined for restaurant week and enjoyed our meals. Portions were great for the price this year. My drink was also really good.... Wasn't too thrilled that dessert was not included, bringing your typical 3 course prefixed menu down to 2, with dessert as anadditional charge. The atmosphere is your typical steakhouse, a bit dark. Our server was great despite it looking like he wasthe only one waiting on many tables. Understandably, staff is short among many NYC restaurants during the pandemic. Overall agreat experience.
