The Scene Seating only 32, this place fills up fast: Granby Street regulars pop by for a drink; theatergoers hurry in for a snack. Old-style ceiling fans with shell-shaped paddles lend a Southern feel, but instead of iced tea and lemonade, the staples here are moderately-priced martinis and fancy treats.

If you like tapas-style dining, you must try Empire Little Bar Bistro. If you haven't tried tapas, don't delay. Tapas are the small portions served in bars and restaurants throughout Spain, usually with sherry or other cocktails. At Empire, the martini reigns.

We have always had great food here. The service is always good here. The menu is creative and I appreciate the seasonal changes. Very good drinks but perhaps a bit pricey. It does get crowded later in the evening so best to go early.

This is definitely a little bar bistro! Don't go late at night when it turns into a bar, unless you are prepared to share your table with those standing around. The martini's are expensive, ouch, but the dinners excellent! The desserts yummmm. They also have Crackers in Norfolk too, that's even smaller but quieter if you don't want the Granby bar scene.

If I could sum up our visit in one word it would be "eh". The food was good and the service wasn't too bad, but I didn't find the place to be anything special. The tapas was about the same price as a much better place down the street.

Pros

+ Pretty good food

Cons

- Price maybe more than the food's worth
