Food was delicious especially jerk chicken tacos! River view from an inside table was urban beautiful at 5:30pm on an August evening. Sitting outside would be great, but as seniors we like standing seating with a back. Very little street parking but a valet parking lot right at Azul.

This place is fun with good food and drinks but just know that the music is dance club level volume everywhere and early— we were there before 5pm and it was hard to even converse. And we like loud music! Just not through dinner.

Food was good. Service was great. The music was just insanely loud. We were there before a show at the salt shed and (I'm not exaggerating) the music in the restaurant was louder than the show we went to. That's fine if it's late evening/nighttime but we were there at 4:45 on a Sunday afternoon.
