Imperial Hotel Restaurant

First of all, the restaurant/hotel is a historic building. That's what drew us to it after our Bunker Hill hike. It's such a beautiful hotel. Super friendly staff. We sat outside on a crisp, sunny day. There are heaters if needed. Our food came out in a timely manner. It was all delicious!! We observed everyone else's food coming out and it all looked great! Next time we hike we will stop there again for a well deserved lunch!

Imperial Hotel has been on my radar since I heard about its renovation, and I am so thrilled I finally was able to dine at the restaurant! It was amazing.We visited on a rainy Saturday night and were able to park in their small lot. Imperial is positioned at the curve of the road, so there is a storybook view of the town all lit up with warm string lights, even in February.The hostess welcomed us and quickly seated us in the dining room, which was decorated beautifully and with moody candlelight. Every table had fresh-cut magenta tulips.We ordered: chicken croquettes (starter), clam chowder, and Mary's chicken & seafood risotto (mains).Everything was impressively presented and delicious. We both were glad we opted for the bowl rather than cup of chowder as it was the BEST we had ever had--the ideal consistency (not too thick) and seasoned to perfection. We both had to remember where we were because we were close to licking the bowl! I thought the croquettes were good but pricy for what they were and the amount (4 for $21), but the slaw that accompanied was excellent.The entrees were both phenomenal. The chicken quarter was one of the most white, tender and juicy, and flavorful ones we have had. The fingerling potatoes were crisp, broccolini was done just right, and the gravy/jus set the whole thing off.I was pleasantly surprised by the generous serving of my seafood risotto! I love salt, but it might be a little too salty for others. For the price, I also wish it had a little more seafood. All criticisms aside, I took a small portion home and immediately ate it before it could even see the fridge!We were too full for dessert.Service was also very attentive.I really enjoyed this restaurant. It is beautiful, interesting, and cozy, and I loved all the thoughtful, quirky decor. The theme of the food was well-seasoned and flavorful--the folks in the kitchen definitely know what the heck they are doing. I can't wait to come back in late spring or summer--I want to sit on their patio and enjoy some new seasonal fare.

We just made a quick stop into here for dessert and drinks after getting dinner across the way. The service was efficient and so friendly! They were happy to make recommendations and made it a great atmosphere. The place is cute and a bit small but makes for a great date spot or a catch up with friends. The drinks were good and pretty strong! Overall we'll go back (especially for dessert) and hope to stay in the hotel next time too for the full experience!

This quaint little hotel boasts a delicious restaurant in Amador City (the smallest city in CA). Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We went for a little weekend getaway and stayed in the hotel. The staff is very friendly and was accommodating to my food allergy. The wine list is fantastic and their cocktails looked great. I highly recommend the polenta fries, steak bites, and the arugula salad. The ambience blends is noteworthy blending late 1800s with modern touches. There was also a nice blend of locals and folks passing through.

While on a wine-tastinggetaway with our puppy we decided to stop by the Imperial without reservations - the hostess was extremely accommodating and seated us on the front patio at a communal table that allowed us to have our puppy in a stroller. Service was great and our waitress amazing. We booked a reservation for the following night to dine fr the full menu and although we were not able to sit on the front patio we were given a beautiful spot on the back terrace. Food and service excellent and Charlie was treated like a king.

A little charming gem in Amador City you must go to! It's such a cute and inviting venue you will appreciate. Sharing a few dishes is recommended so you can try different unique dishes prepared fresh and delicious. The staff is so friendly and courteous, you will feel right at home. This is the cozy romantic getaway you have been searching for, or just a fun brunch with your friends. Highly recommend!

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent setting. We had a lovely dinner. We arrived early and sat outside for some unique, delicious cocktails. I had the gin martini with some very interesting additions and my husband had the Dandelion rum drink, also delicious. With that we had the special ahi sashimi appetizer with mango salsa, won ton chips and Ponzu sauce. Very tasty. We decided to stay outside for our dinner because it was gorgeous out there. We next had the Avocado, rock shrimp salad, very good, the scallops with fennel and Romesco sauce-which we found overpowered the delicate, perfectly cooked scallop a bit. We also had the pork cheeks with crispy vegetables and an interesting sauce that reminded us of fancy BBQ. Very tasty. Oh! I almost forgot. The clam chowder. OUT OF THIS WORLD. Soooo good. Creamy, without being heavy, just the right amount of bacon, andParmesan on top! Who knew! We finished with the yuzu curd topped with fresh berries and meringue shards. Perfect, our lovely bar manager Sarah gave us a delightful birthday espresso martini. Perfect end, to a perfect meal. Thank you!!!

We stayed for a night at the hotel, so it was very convenient to be able to rest up after a day of wine tasting and walk downstairs to have dinner at the beautiful restaurant.Our server was extremely friendly and attentive, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.- Roasted beet salad: an excellent start to dinner.- Mediterranean mussels: the broth was so delicious that we ordered more bread to soak up all that yummy goodness.- Pork cheek: the meat is salty by nature, but having the whipped potato to cut that was great.

Dinner was spectacular! Situated in a quaint town, the hotel has thought about every detail. We decided to have dinner here on our first night and it did not disappoint. Staff is friendly and there is zero rush to place your order. They coursed it out perfectly. Considering going tonight

I love the floral aesthetic at the bar. The atmosphere is very light and comfortable here. I ordered the "Me So Honey" cocktail with Four Roses Bourbon, miso honey syrup, lemon juice and orange bitters. It came out with a dried citrus garnish, and tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend, and can't wait to try more cocktails on the menu.
