    Awesome. Nick, our server was great. Helped make recommendations. We decided to share a couple of appetizers and a couple of items from the Suviche Bar. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the Tuna Ponzu Guacamole! We will be back! This place is 150 times better than the previous restaurant that was here.

    The staff and team here make you feel like a VIP at every turn. The food is next level amazing, but the service is something that you don’t generally get at a place where the food can hold the hype on its own. Get the prawns!

    I saw this place on TikTok two years ago moving to Chicago. I was wary it would be another 'viral' place' but after two years of restaurant weeks and having my 30th birthday here, Azul has proven themselves to fulfill and surpass any expectations on social media. Amazing food, fun familial vibes, strong drinks, and very compassionate staff. Love this place and will always come back. Thank you for a phenomenal night!
