I saw this place on TikTok two years ago moving to Chicago. I was wary it would be another 'viral' place' but after two years of restaurant weeks and having my 30th birthday here, Azul has proven themselves to fulfill and surpass any expectations on social media. Amazing food, fun familial vibes, strong drinks, and very compassionate staff. Love this place and will always come back. Thank you for a phenomenal night!
