It's here and the good eats can begin! It's the first week of Restaurant Week, a time when some of the best restaurants participate and offer a limited menu at a fixed price of $30/$45 (two courses) for lunch and $45/$60 (three courses) for dinner - a wonderful value for your money. I love aged steak and going to a nice restaurant to enjoy that treat is very pricey, so one of my favorite places to indulge during Restaurant Week is at Empire Steak House at the East side location. It always has a great 3-course dinner. This past Friday, I enjoyed a tender but crispy calamari (sorry no picture because I ate it before I thought of taking a picture), Strip Steak (medium well) and it came with its own potatoes and broccoli, and for dessert, a tiramisu and coffee. The fixed price menu offers alternatives if steak is not your thing.

Every part of the meal was well executed, and the service was attentive and wonderful. I also enjoyed the house malbec during the dinner. I thought I got good value for my menu. The portions were generous compared to other places with a similar menu.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. It used to be a small opera house. The chandelier is very grand. Restaurant Week ends February 4, so if you are in town for the next couple of weeks, take advantage and enjoy a great meal at a good price. Make reservations as soon as you can because some restaurants do fill up during this time.
