    This was our first experience here. Let me start by saying the service was excellent. The wait staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a most enjoyable experience. The risotto was delicious. But the main course was even better. I had a delmonico steak that was five stars along with potato puree. My wife had a filet that would absolutely melt in your mouth. We would definitely recommend Gordon Ramsay’s to anyone. Very impressed.

    Celebrated my dad’s birthday around lunch time. There were a few tables but our server was very attentive. There were several aspects of our visit that made the meal feel special and I’m glad we chose to celebrate at Azumi. The food, attention to detail, and atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend.
