    We know that people develop an attitude when things are going well for them. The staff at La Imperial has such a bad attitude that they were acting as if they are doing us (customers) a favor (in other words, basically we pay them the money for us to get abused). After we were seated we noticed that the staff had no interest in providing even basic service. So both my wife and myself decided to walk out way before we placed our orders for the food. This was a such a very rare undesired experience for us.

    Tuve la oportunidad de visitar La Imperial y fue una experiencia excepcional. Desde el momento en que entramos, el servicio fue impecable: el personal es amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a hacer recomendaciones. La calidad de los alimentos es inmejorable. Cada platillo está preparado con ingredientes frescos y con una sazón única que resalta los sabores tradicionales. Probamos varios de sus platillos emblemáticos y todos superaron nuestras expectativas. Además, la presentación es impecable, lo que hace que la comida no solo sea deliciosa, sino también visualmente atractiva. El ambiente es elegante y acogedor, perfecto tanto para una comida en familia como para una ocasión especial. Sin duda, La Imperial es un lugar al que volveremos pronto. ¡Altamente recomendado!

    Pésima experiencia, en cuanto a la reserva Para variar, no la tenían contemplada, siendo que se confirmó todavía ese mismo día! Deben mejorar sus procesos, ya que no me tenían anotado y tuve que cambiar de lugar! Los califico como pésimos

    Despite the insistence of the waitstaff on a full 15% tip due to your reservation—although tipping is meant to be optional—the food and ambiance were exceptional.
