Went there for a late lunch. I reserved for 3:15pm hoping that the dinner menu would be available, only to find that the restuarant only served bar food at that time. Moreover, only the rooftop was open even if the reservation on Opentable has the "standard seating" option. So I got a veggie flatbread with chicken. The flatbread is large and had lots of toppings. Taste was good. Service could be improved. First, the reception desk was not near the entrance of the restaurant, but instead there was a cafe next to the entrance. So it took me a while to find it even after I entered the restaurant. No one in the restaurant asked me if I was looking for something. Second, the restaurant (intended to) charge mandatory 20% tips but this was not written on the menu. When I pointed out the problem at check, my server was very unhappy about that, even though this was the restaurant's fault. Luckily, the manager took it off from my bill. Since it is a newly opened restaurant, I still give it 4 stars. Hope everything would become better. read more

I had a great experience at Azara. We went on a Friday night and sat on the main level, which was a perfect choice. There was a live guitarist whose music added a really nice touch, and the ambiance overall was warm, stylish, and inviting. I had the Blue Jasmine cocktail which was delicious. We tried 4 dishes that were 10/10. We wanted to try more but were too full so will definitely be back. Service was very attentive and fantastic read more

I dined here for lunch on a Friday around noon. The restaurant was empty, but the interior was beautiful and there was also very nice outdoor seating. We were greeted by our server, Eddie, and given both the bistro menu and the dining menu. However, we were told that we could only order from the bistro menu. Since I had reviewed the dining menu before arriving, it was disappointing to learn that there were only about 11 items available to choose from. I ordered the Sesame Crunch Salad, while my business associate ordered the Caprese Sandwich and the Avocado Tartine. The food came out as it was ready rather than all at the same time. When my salad arrived, I noticed it didn't include the tofu listed on the menu. I mentioned it to our server, who took the salad back to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he returned the same salad (which I had already begun eating) and explained that the chef was preparing the tofu and it would be out shortly. This felt a bit unusual to me, as typically when a dish is removed from the table, a new one is prepared--otherwise it's usually left with the guest. When the tofu was finally brought out, it was extremely hard and unfortunately inedible. Since we were nearly finished eating at that point, I chose not to mention it. My business associate said his food was okay, though he was also somewhat disappointed. Our server was very kind, but overall the dining experience could have been better. read more

This didn't really hit the mark... the food wasn't bad but honestly nothing that I would be craving to go back. We came on a weekend night and it was kinda dead. The drinks were horrible, for them having a limited menu of cocktails we thought the ones listed would be great but they were quite the opposite. The service was ehhh... again, nothing absolutely horrible (other than the drinks) but we were excited to try this place out & that excitement faded fairly quickly. read more

Azara is a new physician-owned restaurant on the beltline that aims to combine more wholesome, healthy eating with a nice atmosphere. There were a lot of pros and cons so it's easier to break it down by category: Food: 5/10 Drinks: 8/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 The food is some mix of Spanish and Mediterranean-style tapas. We tried 10 items on the menu and the only thing we really loved was the pollo ancho, although it was inconsistent. We ordered a second pollo ancho and it had so much less flavor compared to the first. Overall, the food severely lacked seasoning which was disappointing. Some things tasted overcooked, like the salmon cakes and cauliflower steak, on top of needing more flavor. The Earth Rolls, Goat Cheese Puffs, and Saffron Pilaf were decent. The Mac and cheese lacked flavor, cheese, and any sort of salt. I would not recommend. The pollo enyucado is pretty much an empanada but it needs more filling inside. It was mostly just the dough part. Overall, I would not come back here to eat. You're paying premium prices for food that lacks flavor and isn't very filling. However, the atmosphere is great. It's very modern and has a classy vibe to it. In addition to the main dining area, they have an enclosed rooftop with a bar that is really nice. I would come back for drinks. I warn that the margarita is very sweet, though. We did not try other cocktails. We instead had wine and beers, but it was disappointing that for a brand new place, they were actually out of a bunch of the beers and wines on the menu. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant because I loved the wellness concept and making healthier foods at a nice restaurant, but I was left unsatisfied overall. My friends and I tried this place out and decided to order a round of tapas and drinks to start for the table. Our two servers were really sweet even when informing us that they did not have some of the beer and wine we ordered on hand--I didn't think too much of it since they've only been open for 6 weeks. For the tapas, we ordered the earth rolls, goat cheese puffs, salmon cakes, sweet corn ribs, mac & cheese, pollo enyucado, and the chimichurri cauliflower. We honestly were pretty disappointed in most of these items save for the earth rolls and goat cheese puffs mainly due to the lack of seasoning. The salmon cakes were severely under seasoned--it seemed like the chef heavily relied on the lemon juice and failed to focus on seasoning the salmon itself since it was bland, the sweet corn ribs didn't have much depth to it at all save for intense heat, the mac and cheese was really bland and seemed to not have much bechamel sauce since it wasn't creamy at all, the pollo enyucado seemed to barely have any chicken in it and was under seasoned, and the chimichurri cauliflower was really wet and under seasoned--it seems that they probably didn't allow it to dry enough before grilling it or the overcrowded it, which can steam it instead. The earth rolls and goat cheese puffs were beautifully made at least. We ended up ordering the pollo ancho and saffron pilaf as well since we were still pretty hungry. Thankfully, these two items pretty much saved the night! The pollo ancho was really well cooked and juicy, and it was packed full of flavor. Admittedly, I've had better saffron pilaf before when it comes to the overall flavor, but I still appreciated it along with the little extras like the dried apricots. Our group loved the pollo ancho dish so much that we ordered a second one. The flavor on the second one dimmed a little bit and was slightly overcooked on some parts, but we still enjoyed it. I probably would've rated this place lower if it weren't for the pollo ancho, the sweet servers, and how the owner stopped by each table to introduce himself and inform us all about his story and his vision for the restaurant. I'm not sure if this was just an off night or if they are just working out the kinks, but I definitely believe they should make some changes in how the chef prepares and seasons the food before I could consider returning. read more

Angry. I waited too long to write this review and now I don't remember everything we ate or even if I am remembering everything correctly. At this point I am going 5 stars because I remember really liking the ambiance, I think the service wasn't fine (not entirely sure I am remembering that right) but mostly we just had a wonderful Valentine's Day and that's what matters. So I don't remember what I drank though I remember enjoying it. I also only remember 2 of my 3 tapas-the butternut squash soup and the chicken yakitori. My wife and I also split the mussels. That may be everything I got but I feel like I got a seafood item too. Anyway, mussels were excellent, chicken was very good-slightly bland, though not much and I do like the flavor-and the soup was excellent. The primary reason we came here was because we were doing the illuminarium next door as part of our Valentine's Day and it is impossible to find a Latin tapas restaurant with multiple vegan dishes that's more than veggies. They had tofu, lentils, and really creative things for my wife. I don't care about the mediocre average ratings. We really enjoyed our night here and will definitely be back. Looking forward to checking out the rooftop lounge when the weather gets warmer too. read more

So it's my birthday weekend and I decided to have an engagement at Azara. I reached out online a week ago to make a reservation. No one ever got back to me. I called on Wednesday to make a reservation and was able to make one for a party of 10 on the rooftop. I got a call on Friday around 5 PM confirming my reservation for 8 PM. I get to the restaurant and I'm told that there is no reservation for me but they figure out how to make it happen anyway. I'm instructed to walk up the stairs and meet the hostess at the top of the stairs I get there. She takes us to what is supposed to be our table and she has us wait in the middle of the floor between the seats and the bar to find a table for us. She comes back, takes us to our table and it's dirty. There are glasses that are there that have been used from cocktails. We sit we have a server that comes in greet us about 10 minutes after us sitting and he tells us that he will get water I asked for no ice. He brings back five glasses of water to which only one has ice. I'm a little confused at this point. It takes about 20 minutes for us to get a menu. We had to ask our Server for the menu because he was nowhere to be found. We get the menus we wait about another 15 minutes before we can order cocktails and I noticed that our Server is attentive to everyone's table but ours he seemed a little overwhelmed. We order our cocktails they come we then about 10 minutes later order our food and it comes to us by a runner. Our waiter never came back to see how the food was he finally comes and asked if we want anything else at this point I'm so disappointed in the service from the time I walked through the door to the time I leave. I had a friend that had to leave because her parking had run out and we can't find our server once again. I have to literally get up go to the bar. Ask someone if they can find our server about 10 minutes later he finally comes. My friend ended up with a ticket because she went over the time that she was supposed to be in her parking space. The food was amazing. I was happy to have some options that were vegetarian/vegan because I am a vegan, but I'm a little taken back by the horrible service that I had. I forgot to mention that I am a professional chef and good service is so important to me, especially when I'm in an establishment that is absolutely gorgeous. Has beautiful views from the rooftop and it's packed with people. Don't know that I'll be back because the ambience, good views, and good food just isn't enough that is not the full package. read more

Tried this place on their grand opening night. I enjoyed the complimentary cava and the dip trio. I wasnt a huge fan of the other items I ordered (macaroni & Cheese and Salmon cakes). They lacked flavor. I might come back and try other items or go to the rooftop (it was closed for a private event). read more

I have been to this venue before when it was Brassica. I love that the new owners/concept have ctaien this soace and filled it with beautiful décor. All of the appetizers we had were delicious and tasted fresh. Loved the crab cake, goat cheese and honey rolls, and tapanade toast. I will say that the Margherita and Vegetarian Flatbreads were not as impressive but weren't terrible and the servers could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the wines. I enjoyed The Wind of Sardinia cocktail which was seemingly their version of an espresso martini. Overall not a bad experience and I would return! read more

I hate to say it, but don't waste your precious dollars here. Probably a good spot for a glass of wine on the rooftop deck, but skip the food and the table service downstairs. I had dinner with a small group of friends and the service was a total mess. Food came out before drinks, orders were wrong... I ordered an $11 glass of wine and the server tried to upsell me to a $45 bottle because "it has two glasses?" A bottle of wine has five pours. The food was really not good - the yakitori chicken was dry, came with uncooked eggplant. and desperately needed a sauce. The mussels my friend ordered arrived late and smelled like a bait bucket - I couldn't believe she didn't send them back immediately. Just not a good experience at all. The decor is also weird and cheesy, with about a metric ton of fake plants attached to everything. read more

The sandwich was so good (eggplant option) it's so hard to find a place that can make good cafe sandwiches. The chai latte was burning my throat read more

I think it is a nice cool place for drinks or happy hour. The feed menu is really underwhelming and none of my group table of 8 overly liked their food order which was very telling. I think it's a great place for drinks only. read more

Decided to try a new spot I've walked by multiple times before without stopping. Wowwwwwww was I pleasantly surprised. For sure bringing back my family & friends. Amazing rooftop area as well, good music and scrumptious food. read more
