The Imperial offers a pleasant dining experience with good food, drinks, and service. The restaurant is suitable for happy hour, when guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and take advantage of promotions. The food quality is outstanding, particularly the seafood, with dishes like steamed shrimp, crab claws, and beef Wellington being highly recommended. Although the beef Wellington was tasty, some felt it lacked key components like mushroom duxelles and Parma ham. The music can be quite loud, making conversation at the table a challenge. However, the friendly staff creates a welcoming environment, making customers feel comfortable regardless of their attire. With its small size, guests easily get to know the servers, bartenders, and hosts, all of whom are warm and friendly. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, The Imperial has become a go-to restaurant for many, promising a great time and a desire to return.
