Reviews for The Empire in Tiffin, OH
Great atmosphere. Bread and oil with seasoning very good. Took about 2 hours from the time we got there to when we got our food.... Filet is tougher than I though it should be, but cooked well. Just didn’t seem like a filet especially for theprice…..Mashed potatoes good. I was supposed to have asparagus and they gave me 2 big broccoli stalks instead. Server was verynice and good. Captains punch was good for a drink. Read more
Really want to like the place, even gave it a second shot. It’s just worse every time. We waited literally 95 minutes from... time to being seated to when our entree arrived on an embarrassingly unbusy friday that featured a total of 6 tables withguests. Despite having a reservation. Steaks arrived overcooked (medium rare should have some pink), unseasoned (not evensalt), and not dressed the way they were listed on the menu. They said they ran out of sides and gave us fries instead. 2 starsbecause the cocktails were good and server was excellent at communicating the situation. Read more
I am not a chef by any means but have made better risotto and scallops for my husband on our date night. This place has the... potential to be amazing… lovely atmosphere, great bar area. Spice up the music, get your chefs to recommit to food standardsand you will be on the right track. Read more
If I could give it a 0 I would. From the drinks to every single one of our meals. Undercooked steak, missing sides,... undercooked rice and risotto, sandy scallops and wrong drinks. Waited extra min for our bill after we mentioned our issues andthe manager didn’t even come over!!! What an awful dinner! As I am reading these reviews I am wondering if it was because wewent with little children. Either way, I wouldn’t waste my time or money on this restaurant!!! Read more
My husband and I went today to eat dinner. First of all they bring to him the wrong soup he order. They take forever to come and... take our order. I order penne with salmon. The woman Who service us tell the chef recommend the salmon medium well. I told her Iwanted it well done. When she brought my dinner the salmon was cook medium well. The dish come with a salad that never arrived.We have to call her attention and ask to pack my dinner and to pack the salad. I really didn’t enjoy the experience I passthere. I hate when I receive a bad service because I am a minority. I give them 0 I would never go there again or recommendanyone. Read more
Excellent food with excellent service. The atmosphere was so inviting. We felt as though we were in New York, looking at the... brick walls, with the professional wait staff, and the baby grand piano being played. Great experience. Only negative was themen's bathroom. The pictures were disturbing to my husband and inappropriate. I don't think guys need that statement made... Read more
The atmosphere was pretty open, which means loud. Nicely decorated. Staff was friendly. Cindy our server wasn’t completely... knowledgeable about appetizers,but aware of main entrees. Diligent on acknowledging seafood allergy, and was carried out withcaution. The appetizers were ok and the bread was just ok. The entree the potatoes had a great flavor but a bit on dry side. Thesteak was cooked to perfection and had nice flavor. The brûlée was absolutely delish. Great addition to Tiffin downtowndistrict. Read more
Sadly, this establishment has consistently gone downhill over the last five years or so. The Cobb salad I ordered contained... wilted, pre-packaged greens, overly processed (GFS?) chicken breasts, brown avacado, and a watery dressing. If you go, it's forthe ambiance because the food persistently disappoints. Read more
