What is AZUR's Cuisine?
AZUR is often mislabeled a particular category of cuisine such as: American, Mediterranean, Asian, Latin or even French by various sources. The reality of AZUR is we include an eclectic mix from many origins. The common thread is freshness and innovation. Our menu is actually chef-driven and not limited to one specific type of cuisine - it's continental. We admit that we favor local ingredients but that doesn't limit us either. It does allow us to serve a better finished product because the ingredients have spent less time traveling from the farm to the table. This is something that AZUR is proud of. Examples include: caviar, mushrooms, micro greens, berries, tomatoes, corn, fish, bison, rabbit and many more.
