About this space

Empire Steak House East is a multi-level American steakhouse whose defining quality is its formal, club-like dining rooms and white-tablecloth presentation.

Design: Dining rooms present dark wood panelling, tufted banquettes, polished hardwood floors and a central crystal chandelier beneath a coffered ceiling; tables are set with white linens and neutral napery.

Features: A dedicated private dining room and in-room bar service accommodate staged dinners, and an extensive wine program is available alongside a wide single-malt and bourbon selection. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, a PA system, air conditioning, natural light, wheelchair access and accessible toilets; outdoor seating, takeout and delivery options are also offered.

Ideal for: Corporate dining groups and social parties seeking a formal, seated dinner with attentive, restaurant-led service.

What sets it apart: A restored 1920s opera-house shell retains original balcony sightlines and high ceilings, giving the dining rooms a distinct, theatrical layout.

What guests say: The dining room is clean, well maintained and traditionally atmospheric, and service is attentive and professional.
