  "description": "Empire Steak House's bi-level event space transforms your group dinner into something memorable, with prime cuts and classic sides served in a setting that feels both intimate and grand. The Midtown West location puts you steps from Broadway, making it ideal for pre-theater celebrations or post-meeting dinners where conversation flows as smoothly as the wine. Your party will have the run of both floors, creating natural spaces for mingling and toasting while the kitchen delivers those perfectly charred steaks that have made this spot a local favorite.",
