Thank you for another wonderful, though brief season. With covid-19, I dare not give a reopening date because we certainly do not know what tomorrow will bring. Thank you for sharing the Empire Room with us.

I just ate dinner at the Empire Room. Thursday is always boom boom Thursday Chinese night. The Times Are A-Changin because this is the fortune I got in my fortune cookie:-)

I'm always too late with these postings and Lord knows I should do a hundred of them instead of one. The restaurant is going fantastically well in spite of it being Wildey difficult to run given the circumstances this year. We are now open Thursday through Sunday brunch and the hotel guests love it. We are actually having a record-breaking year. Hope to see you.

It's our first boom boom Thursday in time for fall. We hope to keep serving our excellent food through the fall so keep your eyes open. Thursday 4 to 9pm

Today our Sunday Brunch returns from 10 until 4. We will always serve a small selection of temptuous taste treats. (I use that phrase often but it applies here!) This menu will change often but offers a little something for everyone. Our own baker in town is working with our chef with this one so I know we will find something you like!

The Empire Room will be closed tonight and probably Saturday for lack of staff. The place is a dream and we will do our best to keep it open until Christmas if we can. We are in a day to day economy as few people are working now. Alfresco Pizzeria will be open Saturday from 4 to 9.
