One positive aspect is that the restaurant was not crowded, so there was no waiting time. However, even though the presentation of the dishes was beautiful and the drinks were well prepared, the food itself did not live up to expectations. The Wagyu was chewy and overly fatty, the lobster was dry, and the dessert was quite simple and dry. The pasta, however, was very good and ended up being the highlight of the meal. Overall, while the restaurant looks beautiful and the cocktails are great, the flavors were disappointing. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the food. I hope they can turn things around. The service, however, was excellent — our waiter was very attentive and engaging, which made the experience better despite the disappointing food.

Went here recently for a birthday, arriving about an hour before closing (and 30 minutes before the kitchen closed), not intending to stay past closing. The restaurant itself was oddly as cold as outside (it was ~7°F), and appeared to be heated only by a few space heaters scattered around the room. There was no host; one of the two waitresses eventually seated us after about five minutes of us waiting at the door, seemingly unnoticed because they were standing by a space heater texting on their phone. Service went downhill from there. Our waitress was rushed and dismissive, pushing us to order immediately. Despite being the only table actively being served, it still took about 25 minutes for our food to arrive. Alcohol orders were shouted across the room to the bartender. Another table w

I am wondering if this place is in the process of going out of business? The food was good but there is a big area filled with stacked unused furniture. It smelled strongly of cleaning products. Some stuff was strewn around on the floor (see pics). But it seems like they have enough labor on hand that they could clean things up? On a Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. it was nearly empty. The staff didn't have a lot to do, except the bartender who had a lot of cocktail orders. Service was friendly but slow. The food took 35 minutes to arrive after the order was placed, which seems worrying when the restaurant is almost empty. The sushi was good, however, but overpriced. Sushi rolls are meant to be cut bite sized but these were oversized for some reason. Overall a strange experience.

Unsure if the heater was out for the place or what, but it was FRIGID. Despite wearing sweaters, the majority of the party wore our winter jackets during the meal... Food and drinks were great, but it was overall pretty ridiculous for a pricey meal with the super cold atmosphere. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place during the winter months unless the heating situation is fixed.

Just left Azalea’s and we had a wonderful meal. The food was amazing. Crisp, perfectly cooked octopus, fresh, well seasoned edamame, and a wonderful eel sushi roll. Really delicious. Go check it out! Worth the visit.
