My wife and I decided to give this place a try for our 13 anniversary. It did not disappoint!

Service was great. The servers were very attentive and we loved it. The French onion soup and salmon carpaccio was really great first courses. The ribeye was good. The seafood paella was not worth it because even though there were mussels and scallops, it was also filled with dry salmon and a white
The food was delicious and flavorful! I truly enjoyed my ribeye! The service left a bit to be desired. My husband and I had to wait quite a long time to get our drink order and food orders taken while watching other tables get multiple visits by our waiter.
Pricey but phenomenal. The complexity of these dishes is consistently second to none, as is the service. It’s not an experience you’ll easily forget!

We went to Second Empire to celebrate! There was a convenient pay-to-park lot right across the street. We reserved a table ahead of time, and the staff was prompt. Our waiter let us know he is in the last stages of shadowing another employee and he did a really good job! The atmosphere was intimate
