Review of Empire Bar and Grill

I like the spacious atmosphere. It was a bit loud and echoed a lot between the pool tables, the TV, and of course chitter chatter. Maybe a wall partition to help absorb that echo? Our waitress was very nice. The drink from the bar were good. I recommend the Melon Ball!! I ordered the chicken friend chicken. It was massive. Lol. I took half home. My sides were the cowboy corn which was delicious and I ordered the bacon wrapped asparagus. The asparagus was good but the bacon needed to be cooked a little more. A bit too soft for me but I prefer crispy bacon. They had run out of several items and someone of us had to reorder. So, not all of our food came out at the same time. Several of us waited and others ate then waited for the others to eat. Bathrooms were ok, needed a cleaning. Other waitstaff came around and asked if we needed anything. Our waitress went missing for about 25 minutes and finally brought us our ticket. She was really nice though. I know Empire hasn't been opened very long and is still working out the kinks, so I understand. I would go back to see if there have been improvements. I've also heard they serve brunch and would be interested in trying them out then too.
