Description:
Azul is one of the most upscale, prettiest -- and priciest -- waterfront restaurants in town. The views of the city skyline are stunning and rival the food -- well, almost. Executive chef Clay Conley, who honed his skills with star chef Todd English, creates a tour de force of international cuisine, inspired by Caribbean, French, Argentine, Asian, and even American flavors. Like a stunning designer gown, the restaurant's decor, with its waterfront view, high ceilings, walls burnished in copper, and silk-covered chairs, is complemented by sparkling jewels -- in this case, the food. Among the standouts: Moroccan-inspired lamb; a miso-marinated duck breast; and, my favorite, "A Study in Tuna": raw tuna, tempura avocado, and Asian sauces with osetra caviar. Downstairs is the Mandarin's more casual, less expensive Café Sambal, an Asian eatery serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the same priceless views.

Excellent Food
-
The service was impeccable. The food was adventerous but still flavorful and had a wide selection. "Boxed" lunches were awesome.

I was there for Dinner, the view is spectacular, and the wine list breathtaking, but something happen with the chef or the kitchen: it broke my heart! This place is no longer what it...
