    Visited to celebrate my daughter’s high school graduation. The place was virtually empty, which was nice. Only one waiter was assigned to our table. He was quiet and soft spoken but courteous. Even though the place was quiet, his voice was barely audible. The drinks and food came quickly and were pretty good. Nothing over the top in terms of service or food but the honoree loved it.

    My wife and I went to Azumi to celebrate my birthday. Our experience was VERY SPECIAL! The courtesy, professionalism and the attention to detail were evident throughout the entire evening. We like to thank the entire Staff and also we like to mention Alexandra, Mario, Fabrizio, Alfredo, and Raul. Sorry, we know we are missing some names. They all were brilliants. It was a perfect evening! We recommend Azumi for any occasion. You will enjoy a unique experience.
