Empire Steak House, conveniently located at 237 west 54 street near Broadway in New York City, showcases modern décor in a classy, but trendy atmosphere. The all-white marble bar and sprawling dining room provide an additional air of sophistication. While Empire's steaks are acclaimed for its famous dry-aged porterhouse for two, the rest of the vast menu is equally stellar, featuring a wide range of fresh seafood such as 4-to 5-lb lobsters, Chilean Sea Bass, Salmon, Yellow Fin Tuna, towering seafood platters, and much more. The eatery offers a highly selective wine list and features many of California's most sought-after vintages. The Zagat rated restaurant is owned and operated by the Sinanaj family. The Sinanaj's success dates back to their first restaurant opening of Empire Steak House in 2010. The space is 4,500 square feet and can accommodate 230 guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, private rooms available!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing lunch at Empire Steak House West during NYC Restaurant Week, and everything was perfect! We ordered the calamari, eggplant, burger, and lobster ravioli, followed by coffees and a shared tiramisu—all absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding! The waiters were incredibly kind, giving us all the time we needed, and we even managed to record a short video for our social media without any rush. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

    Overall it was a nice experience. The pappardelle with bolognese was truly delicious ( more like a Meatsauce but I loved it). One issue only? My friend left over most of her meal. Instead of being asked is she wanted to take it, waiter just removed it. It looked like she was preparing to take it. Otherwise everything was wonderful. Including the service.
    Empire Steak House WestResponded on 31 January 2025

    I had dinner with longtime friends that I hadn’t seen in a while, one reason I’ve selected this restaurant for the meal was because of the relatively low noise level, we were able to have a conversation without shouting. Of course, the fact that the food is quite good didn’t hurt!

    I love steak houses, and through the years, I tried many of the various ones in Manhattan. When I discovered Empire Steak House. the roaming ended, it is now the only one I got to. The Porterhouse is fantastic, so, so satisfying for a steak lover. And as an appetizer, the Sizzling Canadian bacon is meaty and flavorful. The wine list is very extensive, and the service is friendly, very helpful and attentive, but without ever being in the way. I highly recommend the place.
    Empire Steak House WestResponded on 28 January 2025
    Dear Jon, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Empire Steak House has become your go-to spot for steak in Manhattan.

    My experience at this beautiful and wonderful restaurant was amazing. It was my first time coming there and thank goodness for New York restaurant week that made the experience happen. The menu first of all was one of the best for me. I’m not new to restaurant week and as a matter of fact I use the opportunity to explore different steakhouses as I am a steak enthusiast. I will most definitely come back to this restaurant. The eggplant appetizer was lovely. The main course New York strip was simply divine and can never go wrong with a New York cheese cake. I had a house made mock-tail since I’m not drinking and everything was a beautiful experience for me. 10/10 for me. Thank you Empire steakhouse.

    Dear Loretta, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first experience with us during New York Restaurant Week was such a memorable one.
