Just recently ate at Empire Dine and it was terrific. Also, the passing of Robin Williams left a sad mark on all of us. A great loss.

I have yet to eat at Empire, but it is on my list, Phil!
Robin Williams death was tragic. I am still in shock like everyone else. He was a huge talent. My heart goes out to his family.
