Azul - Mandarin Oriental MiamiContinues to SatisfyLiving close to the Mandarin Oriental with Azul is one of life's great pleasures. The standards of food and service are in the rarified atmosphere. No wonder the Mandarin and Azul were honored recently with 5 stars.6/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI can only say these few things

It was great and thank you for everything6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother Anniversary at AzulWe don't make it to Miami near our anniversary all of the time, but we did again this year and I had to book a table at Azul. As always, the staff was friendly and accomodating and the food was great. I have a few major food alergies so the staff brought me some glutten free bread and helped me choose an appetizer and entree. We had a great time.5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial Occasion -Non LocalAnniversary dinner was great! Service was 5 star matching the prices thankfully. Todd the Sommelier was very intelligent about wines and helpful in selections. Lobster Pot Pie was scrumptious. Open Table ratings were great help since we were visiting from out of town.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMJAGLovely atmosphere, great service.

But definitely a great place for dinner.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBy far the greatest customerBy far the greatest customer I have ever seen. My girlfriend and I were greeted by every single employee we crossed. Our waiter, Juan, was incredible. Really took his time with us and always had a smile on his face. The food was amazing! The view was great! Had a really nice time! Was afraid because it was my first time there and really wanted to surprise my girlfriend. This place exceeded all my expectations!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent service! Loved itExcellent service! Loved it ! The food was incredible !4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice meal - a bit priceyNice place. Gets away with very high pricing due to its location. Brent, our waiter, was helpful advising on choices and enthusiastic.He paid attention to details like the pacing of the meal. Julian was friendly, sincere, and attentive. Both were excellent. The appetizers were mixed - the Truffle Steak and Eggs was a nice blend of beef tartar, shrooms, and a quail egg. The cauliflower soup was bland and the accompanying mousse and roe just did little for me. Main courses were strong - the trout(suggested by Brent)was delicious with wonderful sauce,a large filet of tender fish, and perfectly carmelized pearl onions. The bacon lardons were a bit tough and didn't add much but no big deal. All in all - nice albeit expensive meal.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMReally excellent food - probablyReally excellent food - probably the best restaurant we tried in Miami but some tables are not well situated - ask for one in the main part of the restaurant3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were offered the smallestWe were offered the smallest table in the restaurant, it was barely big enough for one. The second offering had a restricted view of the waterway, but finally we were given a decent table. the food was average, but the service was good. The wine waiter recommended a good wine at a reasonable price.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFrom their greeting to dessertFrom their greeting to dessert excellence seems to have been their goal, and in my opinion, they’ve achieved it.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMSpectacularWhat a wonderful evening! The decor is sophisticated, calm and relaxing, with perfect lighting. The view of Miami as the sun set and the evening lights came up was spectacular from a table at the window. Our waiter Brent was totally on point with his recommendations and we each changed our minds to his favorites and were treated into a food coma (the good kind). Brent befriended us as three friends casually chaperoning Ultra attendees and walked us through places to visit in the area-- incredibly helpful, informative and fun. A beautiful dessert selection appeared out of the blue to celebrate our girls weekend out. We could not have ordered a more perfect first night in Miami!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMAnniversaryWonderful meal. Treated like royalty. Quite expensive but worth every penny!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAtop Miami's BestThis was my first time at Azul, and I was left nothing short of impressed. From the moment we walked in to the instant we left, service was exceptional. My name was mentioned at all times, and my special requests were made possible to the smallest details. The waiter was knowledgable of the menu and made great wine pairing recommendations. The seafood cold platter appetizer is a MUST have (even with the $120 MK Price tag).
I am a VERY picky eater, and one thing that's for sure is I will be back. Prepare your wallets, but be ready to indulge!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMFor Special occasionsThe place is espectacular. The view is outstanding. The service is great and the wine list was great. The fois gris was excellent.
the trout great but the lamb was the best.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AM
