Amazing 5 course pre fixe menu with two choices each. Words alone can't describe the incredible balance, blends, and contrasts of flavors from foods that were not exotic in the least. The drinks were also bold and flavorful. Overall another great experience curated by the Seven Reasons Group.

First time fine dining after my partner and I saved up. We were excited for our experience. (I mean no disrespect with this review) The food was okay, but not mind-blowing. My partner said “it was good but it felt like I could make this at home”, which is something I did not want to hear after spending a significant sum for our meal. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the experience. We were initially served another table's dish, which sat with us for about 30 seconds & I had already breathed on it and even cleared my throat near it. The server who gave us the foo was already aware of that. The dish was taken away & instead of being taken back to the kitchen, it was given to a different table near us, which was honestly unsettling. When that same course came back to us, the portion was noticeably smaller and looked rushed and poorly presented compared to the original plate. My spaghetti I ordered looked like it was just thrown on the plate compared to the wrong dish of spaghetti I got where it looked like the pasta was carefully picked up & folded down onto the plate. On top of that, our server repeatedly asked if I wanted another drink even after I had already said no multiple times, it got to the point where it started to feel uncomfortable. It was asked many times. As someone who has worked in the food industry during Valentine's Day, I understand how stressful & fast paced it could be so I still provided a respectful tip but honestly I will not be going back. The spaghetti & the other dish in the photo was the meal that was taken away.

Imperfecto is as perfect as it gets in the DMV dining arena. Just amazing in every respect. Thank you!

The food was very good for a mass produced valentine's menu. The last part that ruined my taste buds was the dessert, the Rum Baba. The cake portion was a soggy and drenched with rum to point where the cream and and strawberry couldn't mask the flavor of the rum. The service was decent.

We tried the Valentine's menu — the flavors were unique and pretty good! The portions were a bit small, but the staff was friendly and the atmosphere nice, just smaller than it looked in photos. Overall, a good experience, had great time! Thank you!

Went for the Valentines tasting menu and the meal was fantastic. We were originally seated by the front door, and when my girlfriend voiced she was worried of being cold, they both offered us a different table and gave her a shawl to put around her shoulders. Great food and service.

Great food, great service. We went with the tasting menu for our Valentine's dinner, can be pricey but all the plates were delicious. Would highly recommend for a special occasion or a nice quiet night out. The staff was very accommodating for a request I had made, and all the staff we interacted with were very kind and knowledgeable with both the dishes and the drinks

During Restaurant Week, I enjoyed an amazing dinner. First the impeccable server brought an amuse-bouche of a small glass cup of an intensely flavored warm mushroom soup. My appetizer selection of the Ceviche included 3 poached shrimp in a tangy light spicy dressing topped with sweet potato straws and accompanied by paper thin slices of rye toast. My entree selection of the Duck Magret was delicious, a large (6+ ounce) slice of duck breast cooked perfectly with a jus pool large enough to dip each bite. My dessert selection of the poached pear with vanilla ice cream on a bed of streusel was delectable. AWith the check, the server brought 2 delightful fruit gels. Although the portions were on the small side (except the marvelous duck breast), I was pleased to have enjoyed a full meal for the fixed price.
