The food is always excellent. Tonight we were freezing. Many people in the restaurant including us, had to keep our winter coats on during dinner. Our server was great, but we felt very rushed. The staff was clearing or plates while we were eating. We love Azumi but not the best experience tonight.

Great atmosphere, cool repurposed rustic architecture. One warning, you may need a flashlight for the menu as the font was difficult to read with the lighting. Food was very good, only issue was the menu could have been more descriptive. Overall, everyone in our group enjoyed the meal and service.

Superior dining experience! The service and ambience were exceptional. My group can be picky about dining, but everyone was delighted. The prime beef carpaccio was probably the best I’ve ever had, and I’m not a young man! I typically do not get a steak when I am out, figuring that I can buy and cook Something just as good. The steak here was perfect. Brussels sprouts, appetizer, short rib, pasta, and entrée, and pork shank, all perfectly prepared and perfectly spiced. I will definitely go back.
