It sounds too good to be true, which is why I’m giving you such advance notice. Thursday July 3rd, Imperia introduces SUSHI to its already award-winning offerings. From 6-8, the restaurant will be serving complementary sushi and sake. I’ll be there.
I haven’t been to Imperia, though it’s definitely on my list of want-to-go-there places. Opened by the owner of Speakeasy (I briefly bartended there back in the day, so I’m partial) & Cuba Libre, it has won a number of reader’s choice awards, including Best New Restaurant & Chef from statesman.com’s A-List (who also voted Qua for favorite bar, so I can’t give those voters too much credit) and Best New Restaurant, Service & Waitstaff, and Asian Restaurant by the Austin Chronicle Readers (I put more faith in that, but only a little bit more).
While going to this Grand Opening of Sushi won’t give me a taste of the rest of the food, I am very curious to check out the atmosphere. The chef hails from Tao, the infamous Vegas nightclub/restaurant in the Venetian, so I have to imagine there’s some flare to the place to get him to move here for it.
Mark your calendar now: JULY 3rd, 6pm-8pm, 310 Colorado.
