I was famished when we pulled the cute antique handle on the door to this adorable luncheonette on a cold winter day. What a treat!! Everything about Stam's is fabulous - the people, the food, the decor! Love it! Classic old pharmacy that was lovingly restored. I just love the attention to detail! And the light fixtures are amazing! Ok the food - We sat at the counter & split a tuna melt & an egg salad on brioche. Lemme say I damn near fought my husband over the other half of the tuna melt. The tuna was fresh & flaky. Just enough capers & perfectly grilled. It was scrumptious. The egg salad was great too! Absolutely made with love. I wish I had enough room for one of their milkshakes that I watched get whipped up. Definitely next time.

Cutest leprechaun milkshake of all time... thankfully not 32 ounces of goo. Such a cute treat!

My husband and I have lived in almost every major metropolitan area in the US and the homemade, hand-dipped ice cream at Stam's is as fine as any we have had at any legendary west coast Salt & Straw or Palm Beach Sloan's or Sprinkles. This spring's limited edition cherry blossom flavor was particularly remarkable. Plus, the place is a local legend--the same place my great-grandparents used to take the kids for a treat. So cute! Do not miss if you're visiting this small town.

Had tuna melts for lunch. It was okay for luncheonette food. Fries were crispy and soup was good.

Our dinner at The Kitchen at the Imperial was truly an experience we will remember and cherish!…read moreFrom the moment my hubby, brother-in-law, and I walked through the door, we were greeted with the warmest welcome, genuine smiles, and such wonderful hospitality. When I mentioned that my hubby, Ken, would be celebrating his birthday next week, they surprised us with a personalized menu that said "Happy Birthday, Ken!" What a thoughtful and unexpected touch! It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant so much and made our evening even more special. Our server, Angela, was absolutely wonderful. She was so personable, attentive, and professional, and made us feel like we were dining with friends rather than simply being customers. And the food... absolutely incredible! My hubby and I had the crab cakes, while my brother-in-law enjoyed the surf and turf. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Everything about our evening was perfection! It's not often that a restaurant leaves such a lasting impression, but The Kitchen at the Imperial truly did. Our only regret is that we live in New Jersey and were only visiting for the weekend. Knowing it will be awhile before we can return is the hardest part--but we are already looking forward to the next time! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the entire staff for making our evening so special. You didn't just serve us a wonderful meal--you gave us a beautiful memory that we will take home with us.

We went out of our way on this evening to visit this favorite. We drove an hour to meet friends for…read moredinner there. Let's start with the fact that the restaurant is beautiful, so nicely appointed and warm. We were greeted by Donald our server who could not have been more cordial. He was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable of the menu. He had been working there for over 4 years. Then the food--also wonderful. We had rockfish and the short ribs after the butternut squash soup special--all were great. I gave the restaurant a 5 even though we did have a service issue. Something had gone wrong and our entrée order did not get placed. This postponed our next course. We recognized this as did Donald. He could not have been more apologetic and they worked to get the dishes prepared. So often an error like this is made and the server and management just move on. In this case they felt sincerely bad about it happening and ultimately took the price of a very nice bottle of wine we had ordered off the bill. Exceptional guest relations and insurance to see that we returned. And we will!!

We made reservations for my birthday and requested the window seat. From beginning to end, the…read morestaff was exceptional. They were very careful to follow any dietary restrictions. The chef even came out afterwards to check on us - nice touch! It was fun to sit in the window seat - it sets us a bit apart from the rest of the room. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, as always. This is our 3rd visit. A pleasure to dine here.
