| This Imperial Place restaurant is all drama and mood. There are white lights illuminating plants, exposed beams and tables hiding sexily within alcoves. Dramatic chandeliers add a sense of elegance. The drama, though, is also comforting, and it’s a combination that extends to the cooking. The menu is upscale and sophisticated --- the poulet aux poires and Grand Marnier duck are signature dishes, for example --- and a bistro menu with smaller portions and prices (served Sunday-Thursday) is a welcome touch. While French and American influences are evident in the food, specials often explore Asian cuisine, techniques and ingredients. Between courses you can browse through CAV’s collection of ceremonial art and antiques for sale. Presiding over all is owner Sylvia Moubayed, a fixture on the local restaurant scene for decades. |
