The food was excellent! We took the staff's advice on both dinner and wine and we were not disappointed. We were not rushed but welcomed.

The restaurant is charming. It has a warm, hospitable feeling. Our dinners were extraordinary. None of us is a big red meat eater, But if you're going to eat red meat, Azul is a place to go to for it. Rib eye Steak and skirt steak excellent. The Buffalo mozzarella salad was GREAT!!!! But the grilled octopus was skimpy and overdone. We love this place. The staff was great, friendly and sweet. great music too.

We're from Argentina

This is probably your best bet for fairly authentic Argentine food. My wife and I love it there. We bring our 4 year old daughter and are always treated very well. The parrrilla para dos is excellent as are the empanadas and octopus. We made the mistake of having steak at Peter Lugar's once and were so disappointed. We find the steak at Azul more flavorful.

I went to this restaurant with a group of 7 of my friends on sunday afternoon. They have a TV where you can watch a soccer every sunday for brunch. I was impressed by the explanation the waiter gave me about the argentinean food and the soccer passion. The place is cozy and warm. The food is an A+. We really loved it. We have so much meat with this ASADO LIBRE MENU. yes you pay $22 and you can eat all the meat you want. You have to try this place..

The best empanadas with chimichurri and I love the steak at Azul and keep returning because of it. I need not say anything else...just go.

My husband and I love to go there and we spend about $15 each way on a taxi, but it is well worth it. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and ready. The place is small but very charming, private. We eat very well for a very decent price, I was shocked to read some of these reviews...those who find that place expensive should go to McDonalds instead, and stop complaining as the quality is worth what you pay for, and as I mentioned, we find it pretty decent. We shall continue to go there. We love it!

impolite

  • No, I would not go back!

we were very disappointed of the hostess: very impolite. the service is very fast: they want you to leave asap. the waiters were all right but the service was very poor and fast. the place is too much noisy, the food is ok for the price, but you can t enjoy the meal cause they always come to the table to see if you finished the meal. you are under pressure! you can reserve or not but, in any case, you have to wait long time to be seated. NOT RECCOMENDED.

Women, before bringing a date....

Women, use caution when bringing a date here, because something about the ambiance, sizzling plates of meat and rioja will result in your date later professing some sort of adoration. I can not fully explain the phenomonon. I suggest you use the allure of the restaurant to your advantage... It is sexy, spanish and dark...

"Are you gonna eat or you gonna talk?"

Those were the words of my waitress when I visited this joint. If pushy, rude waitresses are your thing, this is your place. They want to get you out of the restaurant ASAP to fill other empty tables with phantom diners. While this place has decent ambience, the service plain sucks.
