    We’ve dined at most Atlas Group restaurants multiple times but this was our first visit to Azumi. It was wonderful! The decor is stylish, the booths comfortable, the ambiance warm and inviting. Service by Maria was good. The food was exceptional. We enjoyed the yellowtail carpaccio, truffle uni (unctuous), grilled Spanish branzino (crispy skin was awesome!), delicious, spicy beef tenderloin, sautéed mushroom medley, chili set (nice condiment trifecta), and fresh wasabi root. The only ding is for the NYC pricing, especially for the bar service. Overall, however, Azumi was a delight. One final note: Azumi acknowledged our wedding anniversary after we paid the check by bringing us each a glass of prosecco. Classy.
