    We have eaten at the Empire Steakhouse a number of times each time we come back to Portugal and the food and service is always excellent. Chris and his team never disappoint so we continue to return. It is the best restaurant we have found in this area. We absolutely recommend it.

    We had a very enjoyable night and the food was amazing. The only thing that let the experience down was the service. We had to wait quite a while to be served, and if it had been any busier it could have been very frustrating.

    That’s good meat! We had a fantastic evening at the Steakhouse! The meat, Tomahawk, was so good!!!! We chose the wrong potatoes, but who cares when the meat and the wine is so good.

    I found this restaurant a little disappointing, considering the positive reviews and more than average prices. The food was mediocre and although the staff were professional and friendly, the atmosphere was a little stuffy.

    Absolutely exceptional! Fantastic steak and really lovely service in what I would describe as the middle of nowhere. If you are staying in Lagos or Luz and have a car you must go.

    Great restaurant the service was brilliant very friendly. Food was lovely very tasty and good sized portions. nice house wine the place itself is worth it just to see how well they have it decorated using old mill stones. a little out but if you have a car it's no hassle.

    The food, the service and the general ambience were top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant. In our party we had beef, lamb and fish dishes and all were delicious - prepared and presented with care. Empire Steak House is a must go to when you are in the Algarve.

    Our server (sorry didn’t get his name!) was friendly, funny, and made some great recommendations for menu items. The food was fantastic-I shared the tomahawk chop and our relative s shared a t-bone. It was delicious! A wonderful meal from beginning to end! We will definitely go back there!

    We have been to the Empire Steakhouse many times when on holiday and always go at least 2-3 times per visit such is the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. Very highly recommended.

    The food was very good. Everything would have been a five but the restaurant got very busy as we were eating and there was only one waiter so it took a very long time before he came back to take our dessert order. We would recommend this restaurant.
