The Imperial Restaurant continues the rustic décor, using natural elements from the surrounding area such as rough-hewn juniper posts and beams. The high desert cuisine includes free-range Angus beef steaks from the nearby Imperial Stock Ranch, as well as fresh seafood from Astoria and other specialties using local ingredients. Relax with a glass of wine, liquor or one of several Oregon microbrews in the Imperial Bar.
