First time here for my birthday and it was a lovely experience! Everything we ordered was delicious and we didn’t wait long. Our waiter was Gent, he and his team were awesome – very attentive and funny, they took good care of us. We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. A great steakhouse in midtown nyc! Highly recommend!

I had such an amazing experience at this steakhouse! From the moment we sat down, everything was top-tier. Our waiter, Rexhep, truly made the night special — he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You can tell he really cares about giving guests a great experience, and that kind of service is rare.
The food was absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You know a place is good when you’re still thinking about the meal the next day — and this was definitely one of those spots.
Between the outstanding service and the incredible food, this was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. I’ll 100% be coming back and recommending this place to everyone. If you go, ask for Rexhep — he’s the best!

I came here this weekend to celebrate my friend’s birthday and it was truly a 10/10 experience. The staff was attentive, fun, and made us feel so well taken care of. The food was delicious with generous portions, and the drinks were strong while still tasting amazing. They even brought out a cake and sang for her, which made the night feel extra special and personal. We had a booth with plenty of space, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you for such a wonderful celebration

My boyfriend and I were on vacation in NYC for our anniversary and we really wanted a steak dinner to celebrate. After looking at some options my boyfriend decided on Empire Steak House, and I am so glad he did! I’ve personally never been to such a fancy restaurant, and this place blew us both away. The service was top-notch, waiters were constantly refilling our glasses, and they even served us our food since we ordered some sides to share. The restaurant itself is impeccable. They have a less formal area and then they have the dinner area which was just stunning. The food was amazing, some of the best steak I’ve ever had. I still have yet to try a place that beats this steak house. My boyfriend paid around $300 with tip, and we both agreed it was worth every penny.

This place was absolutely beautiful and amazing service! Hubby and I went here after a candlelight concert and had no idea of what we were walking in to! We choose this place spontaneously.Our waiter knew what to recommend and it was not disappointing!!! We had fried calamari and baked oysters for starters then for main course we had prime steak for 2 with mash potatoes,Mac &cheese and creamed spinach. We would be back for sure!!!

Well visiting New York City, my son and I decided to stop at this steakhouse for dinner. I really enjoyed my experience from the time I entered. The host was very kind and brought us to our table. The server was very kind and friendly and helped us select what we wanted to order. Everything was extremely delicious. My son had ordered his steak, medium rare and it came out perfectly. The lobster bisque was delicious. The steak was very thick but perfectly cooked. They have a very wide range of wine to choose from. I also enjoyed the decor and ambience of the restaurant.

Visiting this restaurant was a real pleasure. The desserts were absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly balanced — a true treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. I would especially like to highlight the bartender Katarina — extremely kind, friendly, and professional. She prepared fantastic cocktails, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service, atmosphere, and overall quality are highly recommended. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I were lucky to eat here for our Valentine’s Day Dinner. Not only was the food and environment incredible, our server Nik was kind, attentive, and an absolute joy. His recommendations blew us away and his personable demeanor made our evening even more fantastic. We would highly recommend Empire Steakhouse East!

Alan was our waiter and Giovanni the manager , from the moment I walked into this steakhouse in New York City, I knew it would be special — but I didn’t realize just how extraordinary the service would be. I’ve dined all over Manhattan, from Michelin-starred restaurants to hidden gems, and nowhere has treated me with such genuine care and attention.
The staff was warm, attentive, and flawless in timing — never hovering, but always there at the perfect moment. Every detail was thought of, from drink refills arriving before I noticed my glass was low, to the server remembering small preferences I mentioned only once. It felt like they weren’t just serving a meal, but creating an experience.
The steak itself was phenomenal: perfectly seared, rich in flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sides and wine pairings only elevated it further, but honestly, it was the service that made the night unforgettable.
In a city full of incredible restaurants, this place manages to stand above the rest. Without question, it was the best dining experience I’ve had in New York — and I will absolutely be back.
