    Amazing as always. So nice to be able to go into a restaurant with someone who can’t handle gluten and NOT worry about them being able to order something tasty. Perfection - will always consider this for amazing dinners.

    We had an excellent experience at Azumi while celebrating my husband’s belated birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a celebratory dinner. The food was absolutely phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sushi was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The team was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. They even added thoughtful touches to make my husband’s birthday extra memorable. Thank you, Azumi, for an unforgettable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

    Cipriana is a restaurant that never disappoints. We have dined there at least 5 times in the last year. It is also a great place for a special occasion, such as a birthday. The sesame encrusted feta cheese and the cheese puffs are our favorite appetizers. This last visit we tried the flatbreads - I had the crab which was sooooo good and had ample amounts of lump crab. My husband had the lamb and beef flatbread which was also very good. And, their pistachio baklava is a must for anyone wanting a sweet desert!! Highly recommend Cipriana for wonderful food and service.

    Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
