THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Empire Grill & Tap Room Restaurant Review:


This is a popular place for outdoor dining, as you can sit under the ivy-covered trellises at lunch and beneath the stars on balmy nights, the glow of candles adding a romantic feel. Deep-fried calamari, crab cakes or steamed mussels start a meal on a high note. We like the house-smoked pork chop at dinner; a sandwich version is offered at lunch. You can also order pizzas, sandwiches or pastas, and there's a good wine list. The weekend brunch features many favorites such as Belgian waffles, a variety of omelets and fresh fruit.
