About
Empire Steak House was founded by former employees of the legendary Peter Luger Steak House, bringing a legacy of classic steak preparation to Midtown Manhattan. Unlike some of its peers, Empire offers a more sophisticated and upscale atmosphere while retaining the signature sizzling butter steak method. The restaurant has quickly gained a reputation for delivering some of the best steaks in New York City.
