    AZUL is a gots-to-try restaurant. Very intimate and chilled. The staff was fun and inviting. This will be a nice spot to have a birthday party, baby shower, girls/boys night out, etc…. Drinks were good and the tacos were flavorful. Will be back.

    Food and service was great. When we were there, there was a private party with very loud music. But this would not stop us from going there again.

    My sister and I went on a double date for her Birthday and we were excited about coming back to Azul, however the host wasn’t very welcoming at all. Made little to no eye contact and was very short. I hope he feels better but next time ask for some help if you’re not in the best mood to deal with people.

    If you are planning on taking your kid for a family friendly ambiance do not go in the evening (after 5)

    Wait staff and cooks were overwhelmed. It took 90min for my main course to arrive; my wife’s course was delivered 30mjn earlier. Our waitress gave us free chips but otherwise did not offer anything besides contradictory excuses. The red snapper with house sauce was awesome however.

    Food was good, but atmosphere was more like a bar than a restaurant. Very dim lighting and music was so loud we could not have a conversation or hear the waitress
