    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.

    I celebrated my birthday dinner here, and I was extremely happy thats i chose this restaurant. We were seated at a window table which provided such a pretty view, our waiter was extremely attentive and gracious in creating a great dining experience. He provided us with a wide range of recommendations from the menu and was attentive and patient. The food was phenomenal! I had the linguine fini and the 8 oz steak, both dishes were seasoned to perfection. To end the night oir waitor brought out a birthday dessert to share which really commemorated the occasion. My only critique is the food portion were a bit small but otherwise I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!!
