• Mediterranean • Foggy Bottom
Booked 14 times today
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.

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

    An inviting space with fewer than a dozen tables; two tops and four tops. Several tables have wonderful views of the kitchen, which dominates the L shaped room. Excellent cocktails. The dishes come out very nicely paced with no feeling that you're being rushed, indeed, few tables turned over during our several-hour meal. Dishes are artworks with flavors just as gorgeous and that are explained in detail. I think it's great that chefs (and they're all chefs, no 'line cooks') often present their dishes and love talking about them. Service at 22% is automatically added, which is fine by me. What wasn't fine by me is being taxed on the tip as well as food and wine. The menu you are given when you leave is too light on details, in my opinion. A wonderful, if not inexpensive, experience, the value of which I remain uncertain.

    Haven’t been in a few years until recently for a friend’s birthday dinner. I was instantly reminded how great Clarity is. My whole party agreed that the food is amazing. I specifically loved the shrimp and salmon. We all appreciated the sleek ambience and the staff is exceptionally attentive. I’ll definitely be attending the restaurant on a more consistent basis to share the experience with more loved ones.

    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!
