Imperial Hotel & Restaurant - New American restaurant in Amador City - 14202 Old Highway 49, 14202 Main St, USA

What an amazing place! We could not have enjoyed our stay more. You could tell they’ve put a ton of work into the details and managed to make a historical landmark (I don’t know if it is but it should be) a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The service was top notch and their restaurant had fantastic food. I live in a fairly big city and I would be hard pressed to find a dinner that good. Really impressed. Would stay again.

Stumbled upon this while hunting last minute for accommodations as a solo traveler in the Shenandoah Valley while visiting for my first time tasting wines in the Sierra Foothills. A perfectly lucky pick. The space received a 'fresh coat of paint' six months ago when new owners took it on. But it still has its old brick building, boutique charm. Staff were delightful, tipping almost-but-not-quite into being excessively attentive, with the food and drinks at the restaurant being unexpectedly excellent (not the badly overpriced and trying-too-hard to-be-good stuff you sometimes can find at these historic building boutique conversion hotels). I brought a book down to the bar to read and never opened it, as the locals spent the evening sharing recommendations for how to spend my tasting time the next day. The room was charming and clean. Plenty of smart thoughtful touches without being too over stylized or pushing to track a trend. Would stop by again in a heartbeat if in the area. The tiny little old town main street it's on is also a charmer.

It was late, and we had been exploring the nearby areas of Amador all day. We decided that we wanted to get a room when we came across Imperial Hotel and Restaurant. We knew it was a long shot, and we decided to drive to the hotel to see if there was an availability left. When we got there, we caught Kate just before she was leaving for the night. She helped us get into a guest cottage for the night because the hotel itself was completely booked. It was a lovely cottage. Kate was so above and beyond anything you could ever expect. She was not only friendly and helpful, but she took her time to walk us up to the cottage and went over everything with us (we were the second people who stayed in the cottage, so everything was new not only to us but to them as well). Everything was great and she made our stay fantastic. I highly recommend coming here.

We went for brunch. It was my first time to Imperial, but my other guests had been for dinner and really enjoyed. Overall a great experience. The food was delicious, however I would have loved to see a few brunch classics on the menu. One of my favorite parts was the over all esthetic of the restaurant, bar and lobby. Super cute decor, blended colors and overall relaxing space. The real winner of the morning was their cocktails. They had some of the best drinks on their menu and when they showed up they were just as beautiful as the sound.

Great hotel with a very creative brunch. I had a brussell sprout, pancetta and egg, and my wife had the smorgasbord (eggs, bagel chips, smoked salmon, chèvre/chives). All very tasty backed up with some French pressed coffee.

We visited Imerial Hotel & Restaurant for dinner. The service was impeccable, from the bar tender to our waitress, everyone we interacted with seemed to really enjoy what they do. The atmosphere is welcoming, comfortable, and elevated, still maintaining the historical feel. The food....just wow!! Every bite was perfect!! 10 out of 10 on everything. We will be back.

We stayed in a weekend rental and saw the backyard lights of this hotel resturant patio. I had both brunch and dinner here, found the bartender to be a thoughtful and intelligent mixologist. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. The dishes included interesting garish, wait staff was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. I was not aware of the level of quality fine dining in Amador; this place exceeded my expectation of the best city fine dining!

Both the restaurant and hotel are fantastic. We spent the night on our way to Tahoe and were blown away.
