"What a great place. The food is amazing. The wine list great. The sommelier was very helpful, friendly, and quite knowlegeable. We had a table by the window overlooking the water and it was very romantic. The quality of the food, presentation, flavors etc. just tremendous. Well worth the price. I would highly recommend this for true food lovers and people who love to dine out. What else can I say but Wow."

"beautiful plating but food with no soul. Everything is ridiculously expensive but I wouldn't head back for any dish I had. They were all good, but at $28 for appetizers and $45 for entrees, it needs to be great not just good. We never got menus and weren't asked to order until seatd for about 20 minutes. They add 18% grat automatically. I tip more but for a party of 2 at this price point, it's insulting. Petit fours are not very good. If you're going to give something for free, make it great or don't do it. Staff was very friendly and welcoming."

"The Azul restaurant was an amazing dining experience. I took my girlfriend there for her birthday and it was the perfect place. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice enough for an intimate setting, but also warm enough were a small group of 4 would feel comfortable. Service was next to perfect, and the food, indescribably amazing. Also, they have an amazing section of wines and cocktails."

"The sommelier does not offer a very professional description of the wine. He recommended a Greek wine proved a failure. We thought he wanted us to consume a wine that the restaurant was anxious to get out of its inventory. We ask the sommelier that change the wine, which was not much to his pleasure. Finally, our decision was by far much better than what he proposed."

"Very good, attentive and genuine service. We asked for a wine advice including a Pinot Noir that wouldn't overpower the fish and the sommelier provided an excellent choice (Bourgogne). We had aimed for the foie gras as a starter, but were told (luckily before ordering) that the restaurant was temporarily out of it. The smoked octopus was a good substitute.
We had a good quality sea bass for main course, but the complete taste experience was slightly below expectations. Some had the Moroccan lamb, which was delightful. The cheese selection for dessert was perfect in quantity, quality, and selection.
The valet parking is terrible with long waits without any visible queue. I personally find valet parking a major drag on the total service"
