We were seated immediately. Both the host and our waitress were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a mixed drink which was very well done. One area that could have been improved upon was the wait times. This included for my drink. They were a little too long. They weren't outrageous. Just a little too long. When we ordered our food, I miss ordered and the waitress thankfully asked enough questions to figure out what I really wanted. Great job on her behalf. The food itself was amazing. The baked sausage Paisano was huge, piping hot, and delicious! My friend ordered a calzone which was also huge and she also enjoyed. A final note would be that they need to wipe down the folders for the checks more often.. When she put our bill on the table, there were greasy smudges over half of the folder. Not a great last impression. So overall, our experience was great. And based on how well it went I can definitely suggest others to give it a try. If I'm in the neighborhood, I can see myself coming back.

I got a massive portion of gluten-free spaghetti (hard to cook thoroughly for many restaurants) with marinara sauce is so flavorful just the right amount of spices however not spicy. I got 3 full plates of food from a huge round container so much better tasting than more popular Italian restaurants including chains that charge a helluva lot more money for a dinky potion.

She confirmed they also have GF soy sauce. My husband and I shared the signature roll. We both ordered from the GF menu. I had the tavern bowl and my husband had the sweet chili salmon. The server advised she could make the banana pudding GF without the wafers so we opted to try it. Everything was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable. The GF menu had a lot of options so def will come back.

They have many TVs; a large bar; and outdoor seating. My server was also very gracious in making multiple rounds as I was a bit indecisive. Cons: The booths are REALLY low to the ground IMO (I am 6'4"). The food offerings are a bit random and simply were not appealing to me. I.e., I don't go to an American pub for sushi. Also, I didn't like that the appetizer prices are literally only $5 cheaper than entree prices.

The ownership helps give it character, and that neighborhood feel goes a long way. Beyond game day, though, the experience can be a little uneven. The food and overall draw are fairly standard, and the crowd can occasionally tilt in the wrong direction.

I shall start off with the average meat-eating omnivore. Options galore!!! Burgers, fries and appetizers for everybody! Vegetarians are delighted here as well Moving on to vegans such as myself... they offer a delicious and I mean SCRUMPTIOUS veggie burger that I would carry out or eat at a patio table anytime! One star off for the stink of cooking animal flesh which killed my appetite and the meaty appearance of everyone's burgers did as well. The star off is also due to their inability to provide any information at all about their French fries and the cooking oil used Vegetarians and those on diets did great with their salads and appetizers Celiacs only fair a very weak okay for the gluten-free options We came here as a large work group, and the service was EXCELLENT Atmosphere was not suitable - we would not return as a group.

I ordered the "Jane," which is a pretty standard burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. It was good overall and cooked well, but it wasn't anything especially memorable or the best burger I've had. One thing that surprised me was how limited the menu was considering how large the restaurant is. I expected a bit more variety. Overall, Empire is worth visiting for the atmosphere and rooftop experience, but the food itself was solid rather than outstanding.

While visiting my cousins and sisters over the weekend we decided on Rock Bottom Brewery in Orland…read morePark. We've been there a few times before but this time it missed the mark for several reasons. I ordered the Cod Fish & Chips last time and they were very good with a good crunch and a generous serving, what I didn't like was their breading it was very bland with hardly any taste. Also, they didn't even have tartar sauce it was kind of like a Cajun type aioli. The waitress said that they didn't have regular tartar sauce, I thought that was odd serving fish and chips without tartar sauce. It didn't justify the $24.00 price tag. The coffee was very strong, I like coffee a little strong but this was over the top. We had the nicest server named Gloria always willing to help with the menu and refills of Mango Iced Teas. My sisters ordered the Bourbon Blue Cheese Burger and they both said they were very good. I think we are going to go to a different restaurant next time even though we went their several times before. Sorry Rock Bottom!

When I was thinking about where to watch the Bears/Rams game, Ditka's seemed the obvious choice…read moreeven though I had never been. Steakhouses are not really my thing; I can count on my fingers the number of times I've been to one in my life. But Ditka's seemed intriguing because it was just around the corner from my parents' house. I am really glad this is where I saw the game and can concur with other Yelpers. This is not a Bears-themed steakhouse as much as it is a steakhouse with some Ditka art. Don't expect to see wall to wall memorabilia. But what this place does exceptionally well is food and service. The attentiveness was perfect - not obsequious, not absent. I ate lots of different sides and they were all good: the house salad; oven-fired bread; jalapeño hasbrowns; etc. Even though I did not try any of the entrees or steaks, this is clearly a restaurant for people who care about food.

A real beauty, only to be dreadfully disapointed by the excessively mustard coated peices of lump crab meat. . Unfortunately, the dish was returned due to being inedible. The server explained the crabcakes are made earlier in the day not at order. Suggestion, approach with caution unless you favor ball park mustard in excessive quantities. The chopped coleslaw accompanied the order allowed for an addition insult...a mouthful of diced onion. The service was professional and handled this situation without complaint. Hopefully The management will try a tasting and revise recipes, or caution customers.
