    Food was good but the buffalo tomato app did not have enough tomato. The steak sliders are tasty but could have been a little bigger for the cost.

    Server thought for us as beginner. I have already visited Ruger, Benjamin, Wolfgang. Empire is one of these shops right? Meat was so oily and cannot eat full of them. I may not visit there next time.

    ディナーメニューを注文する為に16時に予約しました。希望通りに窓際の席に案内され、ダイヤモンドヘッドやヒルトンのラグーンも見える絶景のお席で素晴らしかったです。時間も早かったので雰囲気も静かでした。 お料理はエンパイアサラダ、ロブスタービスク、骨付きリブアイ、プライムニューヨークストリップステーキを注文しました。50代の夫婦二人では多いと思います^_^ エンパイアサラダはベーコンが多くてちょっとしょっぱいです。ロブスタービスクも今一つ。その代わり、メインのステーキはとてもおいしかったです。焼き加減はミディアムでオーダーしましたがまさにその通りで完璧でした。リブアイは脂多め、ニューヨークストリップは脂が少ないので、好みに合わせて注文すると良いと思います。 満腹でしたが、ステーキのお皿を下げていただくと、デザートも食べれる気になってクリームブルュレとアイスコーヒーと紅茶を注文しました。クリームブリュレは美味しかったですが、香りつけのラベンダーの身?は無くても良いと思いました。 チップを含めると380ドルになります。頻繁に行けるお店ではないですが、ランチメニューなどで景色とお料理の両方を目的に行くのはいいかもしれません。

    Amazing steakhouse with an amazing view. Our experience was excellent as were our steaks and drinks. Waiter was attentive throughout our dining experience. We also learned they have several steakhouses in NYC and one in Tokyo which I hope to be able to visit one day!
