Too Many Pots

AZUR had "too many pots on the stove" to post yesterday. Sometimes one has to just focus on the day-to-day needs of the restaurant. Yesterday, we had two large dinner bookings and an off premise event to prepare appetizers for so we took care of business. AZUR is also working on submissions of materials to various national organizations so we can be judged among our peers. It's one method to insure AZUR continues to meet expectations of our customers.

Heater Blues

AZUR was feeling the cold as we discovered the heater was not working properly. With the outside temperature in the teens, we reacted quickly and were able to have it serviced as the lunch rush began. Since the dining room temperature was below normal standards, we offered complimentary hot beverages for our customers and everyone understood our plight. AZUR is very fortunate to have such wonderful clients every day. Just another day in the hospitality industry.

Best Advertising

AZUR does not rely on printed advertisements, in fact, we spend only about 1% of our budget on advertising. We feel the best form of advertising is you. When you come to AZUR and enjoy a wonderful evening, we believe that you will share the experience with your family, friends and colleagues. Word of mouth advertising is something that cannot be bought. It is advertising in it's pure form like our cuisine.

Warmth with the Cold

Although it's been very cold outside, AZUR wants everyone to know that a warm reception awaits you. We been gearing up for the Floral Chef Series Dinner as well as our special Valentine's Day menu which will be served both on Wednesday, February 13th and Thursday, February 14th. Andy Mason (pianist) will be playing from 6:00 - 10:00 p.m. in the background on Valentine's Day. If you can't find the menus, please send an email to fwohlstein@azurrestaurant.com and we'll send them to you directly by email.

Vegetarian

At AZUR, we try to have something for everyone including vegetarian. In addition to items listed on our menu, the chefs are ready and willing to accommodate vegetarian requests not on the menu and other dietary needs if at all possible. This is a great advantage to an independent restaurant. AZUR is not limited to pre-prepared products from a supplier.

Adventuresome

Besides offering table service and a contemporary atmosphere, the menu at AZUR is adventuresome. We offer entrees that cannot be prepared at most homes. For example, bison, elk and rabbit are not readily available at most corner groceries. Then, the chefs add the flavor through exotic spices or wines. Finally, the presentation is important too! Our chefs want the plate to be visually appealing as well as taste good.

Kentucky Proud

AZUR is a member of Kentucky Proud. This organization promotes locally made and grown products. It is sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Currently, we feature bison, rabbit, produce, mushrooms, tomatoes, beer and ice cream on our menu from Kentucky. Also, we take advantage of other seasonal products when available. They are an important part of serving only the freshest ingredients.
