The Imperial

My friend and I went to the Imperial on a Thursday night around 7-8pm. We walked in and it was quite busy with some live music going. There were two seats recently open at the bar so we grabbed those. The inside is super cute and cozy. It's a smaller place but has some nice big tables for larger groups. They take reservations so there was an empty table with a reserved sign on it but every other table was full. The bartender Tino quickly greeted us and explained the menu. We didn't order any food but we each got a glass of wine. Tino was super friendly and made us laugh. When we were debating a second glass he offered to give us a half pour and that was the perfect amount. Unfortunately they are getting kicked out of their space on Sep 1st and they are currently looking for another location to move to.

Came across the Imperial yesterday night when looking for a drink before the Winter Park Holiday Boat Tour. The Imperial is a quick walk up the street. We were immediately greeted by Tino who was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us the run down. Happy hour is from 3-7 and we took advantage of the $10 off a bottle of wine. I also got the Duck Sandwich which is AMAZING, crunchy bread and tasty duck with a soft, creamy finish. SO GOOD!!!! The inside is also super cute and cozy. Recommend if looking for a drink or quick bite in the area.

This place is so cool and unique! It's cozy and the outdoor patio has nice string lights. Doesn't look at cute during the day but still a great spot.I didn't get a chance to try the food but will be back to do so. The wine and prosecco were both good.

Lovely ambiance. A really unique artsy spot inside. The bartenders were so nice and gave gracious pours. And the flatbread was to die for! Sad to hear they're closing, but looking forward to return in the meantime.

Great food! I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant where everyone made you feel like you were home. The owner's son Zack is an amazing cook, server, and big part in making guest at home. Looking forward to return visits and trying other dishes.

Cool and unique place, out of the ordinary to say the least.Every table is unique, and walls are decorated with older furniture and artifacts, looking like an antique shop.Had business dinner tonight with a professional association I belong to.Had a Cuban sandwich, which at $13 was properly priced and well done. Crunchy bread, served on a wooden board - lovely. Had also a local draft lager, very interesting taste.

5 Stars for another inventive concept from The Imperial featuring beer, wine, vermouth, and sherry cocktails. This time, in the heart of Winter Park, but without the often-times Winter Park stuffiness you see at other local bars.First off- I didn't even realize at first that this bar doesn't have liquor! The liquor program is care of Orlando's own Mike Bass (you may know him from Cask & Larder). The cocktail list was inventive and felt really unique with fortified wines versus your typical bourbon, gin, etc. my partner and I ordered different drinks and I had a chance to try a few others as well. All of them impressed me in that they had a tiki vibe, but weren't sickly sweet. This was real tiki in a way I've only recently found in Orlando at Eden Bar's new cocktail menu. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is as eclectic and intimate as you've come to expect from The Imperial. It's part furniture shop/part bar, so everything is for sale. Take a stroll to the back and find yourself in an outdoor patio that feels like a little garden oasis off of Park Ave. I appreciate the indoor and outdoor spaces. But, more than that, I appreciate how chill it all feels. I wouldn't expect it on Park Ave, but now, you'll find me at Proper & Wild for dinner and crossing the street directly to The Imperial for a nightcap.Love this new spot and excited for more inventive fortified wine cocktails int he future!

Great food and good selection of drinks. The ambiance was fantastic for a date night or for going out with friends. I forgot what the plate was called but it's a brie with apples and a glaze. It is a heaven combination. The lamb burgers and duck sandwich are also solid choices. Very flavorful.

Wonderful!!!! The best food, atmosphere, service! Great location and space! Can't say enough.

Been waiting to come here for months now and finally got the chance to last night. We sat in the back patio area, which was cozy and had good ambiance. We enjoyed some wine, I tried a Cabernet and a Merlot - both were great. For food, we tried the salmon tacos, charcuterie board and baked brie. Each was amazing and paired perfectly with the wine and the vibe of the place. Our waitress was beyond friendly. Can't wait to return.
