THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED LOCATIONS Imperial Fez Restaurant Review:

At this lavishly decorated establishment, patrons remove their shoes and prepare to relax on pillows set on the floor or plop into low chairs. Chef-owner Rafih Benjelloun hosts this multi-course Moroccan meal, which is eaten by hand as per tradition, although the timid may employ the use of a fork. Before you begin, the waiter will present a pitcher of warm, perfumed water and a brass bowl for washing your hands in the customary manner. The meal starts with a soup followed by a series of salads (carrot is especially good), perhaps b'stilla (pastry-wrapped Cornish hen scented with cinnamon), and a choice of main course and dessert. For the most authentic experience choose one of the tagines, chicken with preserved lemons or lamb with apricot and ginger. Main dishes may be completely vegetarian, and gluten-free and vegan options are available. Special tea is poured from impossible heights above the brass trays that serve as a dining table, and dancers provide suitably theatrical performances beginning at 8 p.m. (Ladies, you might be invited to demonstrate your style. It’s all in good fun.)
