Empire Kitchen & Cocktails

Terrible service . Sat at the bar in a pretty empty restaurant while three bartenders completely ignored us. Once we were finally able to get service and ordered dinner only one meal was delivered of two. Server quickly set plate down and walked away. After several minutes assuming the second meal was coming it never did and server never even apologized . The drinks, atmosphere and food we did get were very good, it’s too bad the servers honestly seem to care less. 20% gratuity automatically included is probably the reason for the non chalant poor attitude and service.

The atmosphere is beautiful. I love the look of the establishment….but it took about 20 minutes just to get a draft beer and a martini. Service was painfully slow, and it wasn’t even busy.

The minute we walked in, the atmosphere was wonderful. The costumer service was phenomenal. Raphael was our waiter & he was FABULOUS. The wait on the food was not long at all & everything we ordered was fresh. Raphael & Cam were great & id highly recommend this establishment to absolutely any one! Food was also perfect! Not a single complaint ?

I visited with a dear friend for the first time about a week ago and everything was great! There was a party going on and Keana came over to greet us personally to make sure we were ok! Awesome right??? She made us feel so special with the espresso martini’s on the house ❤️. Neither one of us really drink but that martini was amazing and we will definitely be back. Thank you Keana!!! ?

Eric has great customer service skills. We will sit in his service area every time! The food was amazing; although if you don't like jalapeños make sure you get the frittata without them. The praline waffle w the banana's was to live for, so good, light, fresh, and flavorful. We will definitely go back for brunch again.

My family and I came here after the Tigers game on Wednesday. While the food was good, four out of the six of us had received our food while the other two waited 45 minutes for their pizzas. By the time they had arrived the rest of the table had been done eating for about 20 minutes. There was no apology on the wait for the pizzas and the manager had came up asking where their food was to our table.

I enjoyed myself

Kitchen open until 12am but the last 15 minutes only serves fried food...potatoes, brussel sprouts, fried shrimp and dry rub chicken. Oh wait, they ran out of chicken and no one has come to take our drink order.

I had bunch and it was good

I’ve been here before but I didn’t eat, only had some drinks so I decided to come back and have some lunch. I got the salmon croquettes and grits. The flavor is in the salmon and gravy, so the lack of flavor from the grits is a good balance. Especially if you’re a person that doesn’t like salty food. If you get this, make sure you add cheese. It’s a really good touch. For the drink, I got the Raspberry Dragon and I did like it. My bartender, Lex was 10/10. I would love to have her again next time I go. I definitely wanna come back and try some more stuff on their menu.
