The Scene
The ultramodern interior design of this former warehouse space includes tilted mirror panels above the bar and modish light fixtures, but muted lighting and comfy seating make for a cozy, urbane dining experience. A pagoda-inspired central stair, sculptural paper lanterns and touches of red add Asian accents.
The Food
The seasonal menu gathers with abandon from the continent of Asia and indulges freely in French fusion, and the fine results are served family-style. Start with spicy prawns, dredging them through silky, garlicky soy reduction. A popular tuna sashimi roll is cleverly wrapped in paper-thin cucumber, its pool of ponzu making for a drippy experience. Mains might include a whole black bass that's crispy-skinned yet flaky inside, and tender steak impresses with a tandoori spice sauce. Don't miss the side of Szechuan eggplant, a fabulous version of the classic embellished with whole cloves of candied garlic.

My girlfriend and I wanted to go somewhere nice for our anniversary, and reserved a table at Azie. Unfortunately, the only time available was 9:00 PM. So, we went ahead and showed up at about 7:45, figuring we could hang out at the bar for a while until our table was available. How happy were we when they found a spot for us in about 20 minutes! The service was excellent; attentive but not overbearing; professional but laid back. The food was even better! The space and overall atmosphere was very cool. We will definitely be going back.

after waiting patiently at our table for an hour, we were served fish and meat that was cold. it seemed slightly reheated and dry as well. our waitor was extremely rude and it was totally obvious that he was walking over to the other waitors to talk smack about us. it was my friend's bday dinner, we were promised a cake, but only handed an overpriced bill.

I've been going to Azie off and on for the last 4 years. I've always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The reason I'm writing a review now - the last 3 times I've been into the restaurant I've constantly been amazed at how delicious the food is, and I didn't think it could get better! I know they have had a few Chef changes, but I think they have found a match with Chef Conrad. This is definately one restaurant that you need to try for yourself. The Shortribs are amazing! And I could make an entire meal out of their appetizers!
