The Empire Cocktail Lounge And Event Center

Beautiful place for a quiet dinner. deceived the outside. both the decor and the menu are uplifted, but the prices are reasonable. the restaurant was not busy when we were there and the owner was waiting for our table. the fish that my husband ordered, and my chicken dish were both amazing. the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing, unmarried meal. excellent!

We were in a party of 7. Service was great. Took some time to get our food, but when it came everyone was extremely pleased. (Their food is prepared to order, so that would be expected. Liked the 2 free sides and salads. Had lots to take home. The entrees enjoyed were lasagna, chicken parm, shrimp scampy, salmon and filet mignon. All very delicious.

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.

I made a reservation here on valentines day and it was by far one of the worst dinning experiences i have had in a long time. The service was inadequate to say the least. A limited menu offered no variety. My table was one of three tables occupied and it still took an hr to start getting our order. We waited 37 min just for our first drinks. When our entrees did come the food was bland and not cooked to order. I brought my girlfriend here to purpose to her and i couldn't evan get a bottle of champagne. My experience here was appalling to say the least i will not be returning to this establishment anytime in the near future. This is a restaurant that has an over priced menu for the quality of meals they attempt to prepare.

We dined there on Valentine’s Day evening. We had a 7:30 reservation. We expected it to be busy, but it wasn’t. there were 15 tables when we got there and 4 servers. Which seems like a good ratio. Instead the servers seemed confused as to who was serving who. Our server was completely unattentive. We were seated for 2O minutes before he asked us if we wanted drinks. At that time we ordered wine and said we were ready to order our meal he said “I’m not! and the kitchen is backed up at least 20 minutes. That’s when we should have left because the experience only got worse. After another 15-2O minutes he took our order and said he’d bring bread out. 2O minutes later he brought the bread with our salad. I had finished my wine but not once was I asked if I would like another. Another 3O minutes of waiting our server came out and asked if we were ready for dessert? What? We haven’t had our entree yet. By time we got our food I was too frustrated to even enjoy it. Which was unfortunate because the food was good. We had plenty of time to observe and what we saw were many people asking for bills multiple times getting them and then waiting forever for the server to come back to collect. Many orders going to the wrong tables. One group walked out stating it took to long to get there drinks. I wish we had. We were there 2 1/2 hours. I will not be back!
