This week, Empire Steak House lit up with celebration as restaurateurs Jack, Jeff, and Russ Sinanaj marked a much anticipated milestone—the 10th anniversary of their premier dining destination on West 54th street in New York City.  

The Sinanaj brothers warmly welcomed guests to join for a special cocktail party on July 19th in heart of midtown. Upon arrival, we were met with the gracious hospitality and thoughtful attention to service as hosts and management ensured everyone’s needs were met, happily greeting attendees and accommodating dietary preferences. 

The ambiance of Empire Steak House was nothing short of lively as the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses filled the air as guests mingled, enjoying great company and conversation in the spacious venue. The celebration unfolded with an array of delectable treats. An open bar served a tempting selection of wines, and a fruit and cheese spread added a touch of sophistication. The endless parade of hors d’oeuvres, featuring delectable chicken skewers, savory burger sliders, and more, delighted taste buds throughout the evening. 

Empire Steak House’s journey began nearly four decades ago when the Sinanaj brothers arrived in New York City from Montenegro. Their unwavering determination, fueled by an unyielding work ethic instilled by their father, led them on a path of success. After honing their craft at Peter Luger Steak House, Jack, Jeff, and Russ set out to create a dining experience that exudes warmth and hospitality. They’ve achieved this vision, with Empire Steak House locations gracing NYC on East 50th Street, West 54th Street, and most recently, West 49th and Broadway, as well as an establishment in Tokyo. 

Empire Steak House has remained a go-to destination for discerning diners, earning its reputation for exquisite cuisine, luxurious ambiance, and mouth-watering steaks. Now, in the heart of summer, there’s no better time to experience their culinary delights. The restaurant proudly participates in NYC Restaurant Week from June 24th to August 20th, offering an enticing array of meticulously sourced prime cuts of beef, succulent seafood dishes, and a superb selection of fine wines and craft cocktails. 

During Restaurant Week, guests can savor the $60 dinner special featuring mains like the succulent New York Strip Steak and classic Chicken Parmigiana, as well as the $45 lunch special offering delights such as Filet Mignon and The Empire Burger. To top it all off, a divine selection of desserts awaits, including the beloved New York Cheesecake and indulgent Chocolate Mousse Cake. 

The Sinanaj brothers have created more than just a restaurant; they have crafted a haven where guests are embraced like family. As we celebrated the remarkable 10-year journey of Empire Steak House, it became clear that the brothers’ passion for exceptional quality and heartfelt hospitality have made this establishment an enduring treasure in the heart of New York City.
