Why the name - AZUR restaurant & patio?

First, we did not want to emphasis "bar" or "pub" in the name. AZUR is always fine dining first. Quality and innovation is our mission. AZUR is...a restaurant that also has serves spirits not a bar that happens to sell food. And secondly, we wanted to draw attention to our very large landscaped patio from day one because at the time we opened Lexington, Kentucky was in the process of implementing a smoking ban for all public places including restaurants. Since we used "patio" in our name, AZUR has seen others copy the naming practice.
