We really like to try lots of different tastes so loved the diversity of this menu. We are also seniors and not big eaters, so the small version tasting menu was best for us. The restaurant is extremely careful about ensuring there are no food allergies, not only when the reservation is taken, but when confirmed and again once you arrive.
If you love food, definitely try this experience.
The service is exceptional, and they responded immediately to my request to lower the music a bit, as where we were sitting it was a bit loud.
Definitely a spot for a special occasion.

Food was excellent, and service went above and beyond in all metrics from attention to details, personalizing the experience and overall attentiveness. The tasting menu was creative but not overdone, with clear thought to everything that went on the plate. Definitely worth the visit. For those also planning a visit, set aside 2.5-3 hours if planning to visit for the 10 course menu.

Azura was decent, I dont think it was worth the price tag. Our server was pushy on alcoholic pairings. The other table received a candle and we were also celebrating a birthday and didnt get one. Food was good but didnt blow my mind.
Nothing too impressive about Azura.

A very fascinating cuisine—starting with the first scallop-flavored ice cream, which was truly magical. Every dish was perfectly paired with their selections.

Disappointing dinner at Azura. At this price point, the service was seriously lacking.
Ambiance - nice room, nothing special
Food - everything tasted good, but nothing exceptional or memorable
Presentation - nice, but again nothing exceptional that you would expect from a fine dining establishment
Service - this was the biggest disappointment. We did an 11 course tasting menu. We were seated and given a wine list by the hostess. We said we might want to do a wine pairing and she said our waiter would explain everything. No waiter for 15 minutes. And not a morsel of food for 45 minutes from when we were sat. Shouldn't there be an amuse bouche available almost right away? The waiter had zero personality which might not be a big deal, but we're here for an experience. No one asked how the food was or how we were doing. I think even at Pickle Barrel it's customary to say, how were the first few bites.
On the positive side - the Sommelier was very personable and made an effort to chat with us and make the evening fun.
Having said that, I wouldn't recommend the wine pairing. I don't believe it enhanced the meal and it seems like a ragtag collection of wines including from Croatia and Morocco.
I was there celebrating a birthday and they put a birthday candle in a strawberry.
I'm shocked at the positive reviews from others and I'm upset that I paid such a large bill for such a mediocre evening.

Amazing blind tasting menu with a wonderful array of flavours. I have been to many restaurants and the flavours I tasted throughout the evening were unique and new.
The service was tremendous and our waiter Scott was very attentive and accommodating. He truly made it a spectacular evening.

The whole experience was great. Loved the unique flavour combinations, attention to details and the lovely hand made celebratory card. Josh’s moctkail pairings were not only creative and complimentary but elevated the dining experience.
The service was impeccable and the staff warm and welcoming.
Thank you for a great night
