Mietta's Review
Very professional service is a highlight here, as is the intimate atmosphere and the cocktail bar. The menu is mixed, with influences from around the globe. One of Geelong's favourite restaurants.
Other published opinions
The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'There's a feel good vibe about the Empire.Bright and colourful,it works beautifully for business lunches,romantic dinners or even a wedding in one of the private rooms.Many come for the signature dish of crisp-braised duckling,but any of the modern Australian dishes are worth a try.'
AGFG 2004, score 13/20, excellent bar
