• Mediterranean • Foggy Bottom

Imperfecto is a restaurant by Enrique Limardo and the team behind Seven Reasons. The restaurant is inspired by the intersection between the Mediterranean & Latin American Cultures, and sustained in Enrique Limardo's bold culinary approach.At Imperfecto we believe that human beings are not perfect. We are far from perfect. We are Imperfect. And it's imperfection that moves us forward and shows us how to improve.The restaurant design is inspired by Greek culture. The oldest definition of "perfection", goes back to Aristotle, who defined the concept in three: which is complete; which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better; which has attained its purpose.At Imperfecto, we know that a restaurant space is not complete if it’s not filled with people; that we will try our best to maintain the highest levels of creativity, flavors and service; and that we will always pursue our purpose of bringing magical culinary experiences to our guests.

    Just a beautiful experience from start to finish. Celebrating my mom for belated Mother’s Day. Christian took such good care of us — picked out a perfect cocktail, mom had the best chicken and waffles I have ever tasted and desert was yum! We shared the credo and caviar service - perfect! We had the chocolate and pistachio desert. Chocolate is for the rich and decadent lover and the other is mild and nutty! I can’t say enough kind things about Zois l. He was attentive and made sure we felt special with a few treats during our brunch. Calla also checked in on his and ensured our experience was perfect. I met her a few days before and she recalled. Just exceed my expectations and best of all I live in the condos above this place! It’s my local home away from home now! Can’t wait to be back! Thank you all so much for making this a special day for both of us! - Misty C.

    We ordered the lunch prix fixe menu: choice of starter, half-portion main, and dessert for $26. A good buy. You get the ceviche of the day (or for an upcharge) one of the ceviche from the main menu. Everything was well-prepared and tasty. The cocktail (standard pisco) was good and reasonably priced.

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
