The Empire Diner is baaack! Get ready for some great diner fare helmed by the great chef Amanda Freitag. This ain't your typical diner fare. It's pretty darn solid.

Lox & Burrata (412) is superb. House cured salmon, everything bagel spice, salmon roe. I loved this dish!

Creamy Orzo 'Mac N Cheese ($10) comes with broccoli, parmesan, and black truffle butter. It's delicious.

Lemon chicken ($20) comes with ricotta, carrots, and charred lemon. It's fine and dandy.

A side of brussels sprouts ($6) comes with chili jam and is great.

End with Empire Diner's Apple Pie ($), it's true wonderful perfection.
