    We were fortunate enough to sit outside on an unusually warm night. There were four of us, and the various dishes were flavorful, well prepared, and hot (temperature). The service was slow and relatively inattentive. We had dirty dishes left on the table and the time between ordering and receiving drinks and food was very slow. The restaurant is fairly basic in design, which is fine, but there is only one restroom each for men and women, which is not. There seemed to almost always be a line. We did enjoy the food and may return, but there are so many other great choices in Austin that are closer to where we live on the West side of town that we may not.

    What an INCREDIBLE date night! My boyfriend and I had a great time at Azul, even being under 21 (trust me, we got lots of food)…everything was a great price and the ambience is straight out of a movie, couldn’t recommend more! Highly recommend making a reservation if you want a guaranteed spot on the couches looking out at the city

    The food was very good and we enjoyed it. We were seated at the very back of the restaurant and did not get much attention from the staff.
