Editorial Review for Azul – by Bill Citara
In Short
Genteel is the word here; neither the restaurant nor its customers need to flaunt their upscale position and social cachet, a welcome relief from the ostentatious South Beach scene. Azul's dining room merely whispers luxury and elegance; there's a long, glittery silver bar that's inset with a trough of ice cooling down bottles of fine champagne. Standout entrees include the roasted duck breast with Peking-style duck leg confit and a rich Caribbean bouillabaisse.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkNo cheap stuff on this list--you can drop $7,999 for a 1976 Petrus. Or spend a paltry $81 for a 1995 Burgundy from Domaine Roulot, which hints at anise and the region's limestone soil--and goes well with both meat and seafood.

I made reservations for our 7 Year Anniversary. We got there and were seated immediately. I had asked for a balcony table and puff wish granted (Inside it's a bit loud). The scenery on the balcony is WOW, at night you can see the buildings in downtown, and you feel the cool breeze from the water just below. It is very expensive, about $40USD a plate, but well worth it. Come with about $250 in your wallet if you want to eat and have cocktails like we did. You never have to open a door on your own. They even have a guy that arranges your silverware according to your dinner selecion. BTW guys with big appetites, get the steak, it's awsome. Desert was good but not too high on the wow meter. I had the chocolate desert. Since it was our anniversary they brought us a nice plate with happy anniversary in caramel, some sweet selections and a candle. In conclusion, if you want a romantic dinner with your significant other this is the place. P.S. Happy Anniversary honey from your loving husband, J.V.
Pros: The best everything and well worth it
Cons: Pricey

I took my girlfriend here for our 4 yr anniversary.....this is the 1st upscale restaurant where she not only enjoyed the ambiance but also the food. Our table was situated outside on the balcony with a captivating view of the bay....we started off w/ the peruvian ceviche, avocado and tostones which was pretty good, esp. the tostones...the sauerdough bread was out of this world...she has the ricotta gnocci w/ shrimp which she loved and I had the jumbo seared sea scallops w/ the best bacon in the world bar none...my girlfriend wouldnt leave my plate alone...to top off the great evening, we shared the best marinated strawberries w/ cream cheese ice cream (yum)...they even gave us a candlelight surprrise w/ chocolates and happy anniversary written on the plate in chocolate....they also gave us a personal signed card wishing us a happy anniversary...the hotel itself is beautiful as we took a stroll along biscayne bay and looked at the stars...in sum, seeing my girlfriend's smile made this night magical...We will def. be back...
Pros: Great food, attentive service, beautiful ambiance, great location to walk around after dinner
Cons: Very expensive
