2024 recovery surcharge

Imperial has been operating with immense business cost increases. Post-pandemic deficits, labor/employee benefit increases & supply chain shortages have unfortunately resulted in the need to include a 4% recovery surcharge on all checks. It is our hope that this is a temporary policy that will only span the first quarter of 2024. We greatly appreciate your continued patronage & support.

Hours of Operation for the Kitchen:

Closed Monday & Tuesday

About Us

RESTAURANT
BAr
ROOFTOP

The Imperial is the latest venture from owners Stephen King and Bill Thomas of the acclaimed
Jack Rose Dining Saloon. The experience at the stunning three-floor restaurant & bar begins in the bright, light-filled dining room, where Chef Chris Reynolds serves Mid-Atlantic inspired cuisine through the lens of southern France. The main floor also features a sparkling raw bar and drinking bar, the pouring interesting wines, creative craft cocktails & vintage spirits. For a lively bar atmosphere, head downstairs to The Cellar, our sultry underground drinking den, and al fresco diners can enjoy drinks and dinner under the stars on The Imperial's two-tiered open-air rooftop garden.
