Fodor's "Paley draws inspiration—and ingredients—from the surrounding area." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Order from the wood-fired grill and rotisserie (fed by native hard and fruit woods) section, which boasts daily sausages with sauerkraut and bacon chops with mustard pork jus." Full review
Frommer's "Because Imperial has a big wood-fired grill, grilled and rotisserie meats are a special feature. Try the bone-in pork chop with sage and black-pepper honey, the roasted half chicken." Full review
