Great food and service, but it gets really loud and it's hard to hear your dinner companion.

Azumi - where to start. I'll preface this review with the fact that we went around 3:15pm, and stayed probably until 5:30. So a shift change etc might have affected our experience. Drinks and food were very slow to arrive - sometimes 20mins to get a drink or a nigiri. PEI Oysters were lackluster with oddly wide variety - from size to shell. While mignonette was good, the pairing of pickled cucumbers was just weird - they would have overwhelmed the oysters. The vegetable tempura overall was good - except for kinoki mushrooms - who got the brilliant idea to take the most delicate mushroom, dip it into batter and deep fry it?? You just tasted oily batter and the only mushroom was the base stalk which was chewy and inedible. The sake nigiri was another miss - you had the thinnest slice of salmon sitting on a huge amount of dry and over seasoned rice - so much so we removed half the rice before eating and it didn't help. The hand roll was not only rice heavy but damp - if you serve hand roll soon after it is made you can bite cleanly into the nori - clearly this was not that - hard to bite into, lotsa over seasoned rice, and little fish. The only hit of the evening was the Branzino - at 29$ it's not cheap - but it's two good sized fillets with crispy skin, delicately placed on ponzu butter sauteed mushrooms and spinach - delicious - should serve with a spoon as it was difficult to pick little mushrooms with chopsticks. Table service was good, manager was attentive, but overall an underwhelming experience.

A+ all around - fantastic food, cool atmosphere/design, and warm service. Enjoyed happy hour on the patio with the sunset. Food and drinks were very enjoyable - candidly, I was a bit skeptical going in just given the scene-y location - but they knocked it out. Fish was super fresh, and small details like fresh grated wasabi and the steamed to order edamame sealed the deal. Fantastic!
The food was quite delicious. Our server was Phi and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Definitely worth a try.

The sashimi is all incredible. I love spots like Uchi and Katami and Azumi still really impressed with their quality. Highlights are O-Toro, Kama Toro (the fattiest tuna from the collars), Hamachi and Sake Toro. The service is impeccable. I was very well taken care of by server Jonathan and chef Gabriel. The sushi bar is actually very comfortable with padded chairs with pillows. Very easy to get a seat with no reservation required for lunch on a Saturday. Dress code is pretty casual. Parking was easy for the time of day but the lot started to fill up. However there is a garage too. I'll be back again and again.

Food and drinks are both outstanding! Staff was great!
Amazing experience, the noodles with braised short rib were delish and I loved the Saratoga sparkling water. The servers were very attentive and the atmosphere was perfect! Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion

Honestly tasty food not the best but good just a bit too expensive for the taste. My main complaint is service they were nice but never checked up on us and a 2+ hour wait for food is insane I’ve never experienced such a wait. Overall needs improvement
