Empire’s setting is energetically warm and welcoming. In the dining area, there are white cloth-draped tables, bright and airy decorated walls that carry colorful paintings, and wine racks full of an endless medley of carefully chosen wines, assuring one of just the right selection to accompany a steak. Large windows provide ample light, and the service is remarkable.

Meat-Lover’s Menu

Their classic American menu—tailored to this meat lover’s heaven—satisfies even the most discerning appetite for steak. Although a steakhouse, Empire’s menu also offers diverse fare with varieties of fresh seafood, vegetables, and salad sides.

While sipping a martini, diners might start with any of the wonderful appetizers such as a cocktail of fresh, sweet, meaty lumps of crab meat ($18.95); or the delicious jumbo shrimp cocktail ($17.95) with a fantastic house-made cocktail sauce; or perhaps fresh oysters on the half shell ($12.95).

Another enticing choice, a perfect complement to the martini, would be the crunchy, salty, extra thick slice of Sizzling Canadian Bacon ($2.95); or simply a gratifying salad to freshen the palate and whet the appetite for the juicy, tender, broiled steak.

All beef is USDA prime, and dry-aged on the premises—between 21 and 28 days—with Jack Sinanaj’s secret aging technique.
