The story
IMC Restaurant & Bar, also known as the Imperial Meat Company, stakes its claim on Huntington Village’s Restaurant Row as a destination for prime steaks and fresh seafood. Described by the restaurant as “not just another steakhouse,” it positions itself as a fine dining experience built on top-of-the-line provisions.
The menu starts with a raw bar featuring Blue Point oysters, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and spicy tuna on crispy rice cakes. Appetizers range from Wagyu meatballs and charred Mediterranean octopus to a classic IMC Wedge salad with double-smoked bacon and bleu cheese. For the main event, the kitchen serves USDA Prime cuts including a 10-ounce Imperial Filet Mignon, a 24-ounce Bone-In Ribeye, and a 42-ounce Porterhouse for two. The Wagyu selection—sourced from imported single-bred Japanese cattle—includes a Wagyu filet and skirt steak, prized for their intense marbling and rich flavor.
Seafood options include whole grilled branzino, pan-seared salmon, and a seafood risotto with clams, mussels, and shrimp. Sides like lobster mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and truffle fries round out the meal.
The bar program is a highlight, with expert mixologists crafting cocktails in a vividly decorated space. This attention to beverage quality earned IMC the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025, a recognition that underscores the restaurant’s commitment to a complete dining experience. The atmosphere is sleek and clubby, with a neon-lit interior that feels both glamorous and welcoming.
Beyond dinner, IMC offers a weekend brunch featuring steak and eggs, short rib hash, and blueberry ricotta pancakes, as well as a weekly Sunday Night Prix Fixe menu. The restaurant also hosts private events, from birthday parties to rehearsal dinners, with customizable packages for groups of all sizes.
