We had an excellent experience at Azumi while celebrating my husband’s belated birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a celebratory dinner. The food was absolutely phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sushi was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The team was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. They even added thoughtful touches to make my husband’s birthday extra memorable. Thank you, Azumi, for an unforgettable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Our server came right over and took our drink orders. The BlackBerry Sangria was amazing! The bread was delicious and the salad was ok(not a fan of vinegrette). Our steak was prepared as each of us requested. It was delicious! The special sauce was very tasty! Much to our surprise they came around with another round of steak and fries (which my mom and I boxed up as we were full). I highly recommend Medium Rare if you enjoy steak in a nice atmosphere!
