The Empire Italian Chophouse

Lovely place for a quiet dinner. The outside is deceiving. Both the decor and menu are upscale but prices are reasonable. The restaurant was not busy the night we were there and the owner waited our table. The fish my husband ordered and my chicken dish were both amazing. The perfect place to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried meal. Excellent!

Wonderful atmosphere and food was excellent. We both had a Delmonico steak cooked perfectly and with salads and a side. Tried an Italian hard soda (Blood Orange) and it was really good. I loved Cafe Crimosi and you see/feel it's the same crew and owners but with a mid-century vibe. Even down to 40s music playing softly in the background. Our waiter was clearly new and had trouble with some of our questions and interacted awkwardly. But he was very nice and didn't detract from the experience. Will go back to try all the delicious choices in fish next

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful & the service was outstanding. Reasonable prices cap it all off.

Excellent food! Everything is fresh, organic or made daily. They have Superior sauces. Some of their best dishes are no longer on the menu but if you give them enough time they will create it for you. The shrimp cremosi has an exceptional sauce! If they are busy it can take a while because everything is cooked to order, foods are not just sitting around already cooked waiting to be rewarmed. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in the Tri-City area

Amazing food but disappointing service. Hoping it was just a bad night. Not busy but still took two hours to get through our dinner. The Eggplant Parmesan is like no other and is reason alone to go there! The cheesecake is from heaven. If you just want coffee and dessert - GO HERE! We plan to try it again in hopes for a better experience because the food creations are like nothing else in our area. Every table around us was commenting on how incredible their food was. If the service matches, then you have the perfect dining experience.
