Empire Asian Restaurant & Lounge is slated to soft-open at Fan Pier on the Boston Waterfront this coming weekend, and here's a still-in-construction look at where things stood as of last week. Empire is huge, and with room for 650, it's one of the biggest places to eat anywhere in Boston. The venue comes from Big Night Entertainment Group, which also runs Red Lantern and Gem. On the menu, you'll find dishes like barley miso chicken and red plum salad, and at the bar there will be drinks like the Green Lilly, with Bacardi Dragonberry, Thai basil and limeade. For a pdf of the full menu, see here. Empire will be located at One Marina Park Drive, Boston.
