Amazing in all regards. The unique interior design consists of porcelain tiled walls and ceilings…read morewith wood accents. Our party of four (4) arrived without reservations and were informed of a 30 to 40 -minute wait. We were invited to have a drink in the bar which is off the hotel entrance. Within 20-minutes the hostess informed us that our table was ready. Duck with cherry sauce and braised beef with gravy and dumplings were outstanding. Although we did not have room for dessert, they looked amazing in display near the maître de desk. Several parties arrived as we were leaving to have coffee and desert.

Cafe Imperial was recommended to us as a fancy, high-end spot for desserts. We happened to be in…read morethe neighborhood and decided to stop by. The space itself is grand and beautiful, but the experience went downhill immediately. The hostess seemed to wield all the power in the room--no smile, barely any eye contact, just a curt and judgmental "no reservation." The restaurant was far from full. She then added, "I only have a side table for you," as if that were some sort of compromise. We accepted. At first glance, the waiters looked well presented, but with a bit more observation, the illusion faded. Some had sagging pants, untucked shirts, and most concerning, repeatedly inappropriate hand placement while on the floor. It happened more than once, which was uncomfortable and distracting (see photo). Overall, the place feels very pretentious without delivering on substance. The food wasn't anything special, and the desserts were average at best and certainly not worth the hype or the attitude. I wouldn't recommend Cafe Imperial to friends, especially if you're expecting a warm welcome or standout desserts.

Stopped in here for a quick lunch. The menu is a nice mix of banh mi, pho, noodle dishes, and even…read moresome Thai soups like Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Prices were reasonable at 129Kr for the banh mi. We ordered the original special banh mi, which came out quickly and was served on a fresh baguette with mild Sriracha sauce, carrots, cilantro, mayo, but no jalapeños. It is also came with a side of fries, which were outstanding! These tasted like they were just deep fried in peanut oil and served lightly salted with a side of what tasted like garlic chive aioli but with a strong yogurt flavor. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended for a quick lunch bite!

After a long day of walking and exploring Prague, my friend and I were exhausted. We really didn't…read morefeel like going out to dinner and ordering a full meal. So a quick Yelp search showed us that Mr. Banh Mi was a 5-minute walk from our hotel. We were a little iffy about how good Vietnamese food would taste in Prague, but we decided to give it a try anyway. We got there at around 9 and there was one table dining there. It's more like a hole in the wall than an actual restaurant. Most people were getting takeout or delivery. I got the Original (stewed pork Xa Xiu, homemade pate, pickled carrot and daikon, fresh cucumber, homemade mayonnaise, coriander). It was actually pretty good, and definitely better than what I was expecting. The pork was a little too salty but overall, it was exactly what I was looking for at the time. It's definitely not as good as the banh mis back at home in NYC but it was a good option for a quick meal.

Popped in for some breakfast. I got the American breakfast with scrambled eggs and the hubby got…read morethe burrito. Food was tasty and interior was fun! Pancakes are Delicious

Great food, great ambience, great decor, incredibly rude staff. Considering this is an American…read morethemed restaurant influenced by American culture and named after an American actor, you would think they would have a little more acceptance of Americans. Nope. The wait staff just looked annoyed by our sheer presence. What sealed its fate was when we simply questioned a difference in what we ordered versus what was on the menu and the waitress responded with "Well, you should have asked." As the wait staff and expert of the menu and food served, I think instead of me asking, she should have asked if I preferred or knew that all juices and lemonades were served with sparkling water, not still water. Especially since that wasn't specified anywhere on the menu nor included under the drink's description or ingredients. Wasn't aware I was supposed to know, or even ask, if my lemonade would include sparkling water. I travel all over the world and have even lived in several countries, and no other place that I've been to has ever used sparkling water for juice or lemonade. If this were some authentic Czech restaurant serving Czech cuisine, I would consider and accept the possibly of sparkling lemonade being the norm. But if you're going to name your establishment James Dean and have menu items called "Texas Burger" and "Burrito" I don't appreciate the attitude or lecture as if ALL lemonades are made with sparkly water and I'm the American idiot who should have specified that I wanted it otherwise...She offered to make me a new lemonade with regular water but made it clear that the untouched bubbly lemonade would still have to be paid for. Too bad, and ironic, that it just took one waitress in an American themed restaurant who had very little tolerance with Americans or else I would have gladly given this place 5 stars.
