This is for my 7:45 PM Easter evening reservation. Mrs. Lefrak pink hair, white hat. I was staying at the Royal Hawaiian and this place came highly recommended.

This is a luxurious restaurant nicely appointed very dark at night so bring a flashlight ha ha I'm not kidding and it's right on the beach so you get tourists walking through the restaurant which gives it a nice touch in my opinion.

Service is attentive yet excruciatingly slow.

My waiter was nice but seemed stiff and standoffish at first I didn't get offered anything special nor did he give me any suggestions on switching anything out.

I tried the tasting menu with wine pairing. Listen, I've lived in San Francisco for 30 years I know what overpriced beautiful food is all about! This is a San Francisco style restaurant except the tasting menu portion should be called a "tres petite appetizers" I left hungry and with tip, out of approximately $144 I'm not bragging trust me.

I researched this restaurant & the Azure came highly recommended due to the freshness of the food which I concur. I also am aware of the reputation of the celebrity chef.

Yet the tasting menu portions were absolutely too small the main course of the beef was so minuscule it was almost a parody! I was looking forward to the main course that was ridiculous really. Make a circle with your thumb and your forefinger and then make it 50% smaller that was the size of the beef.

I left hungry. The tasting menu was almost like a Saturday Night Live parody

Based on this experience I cannot wait to go back to Gary Danko in San Francisco where their tasting menu has reasonable sized portions for the same price point and you leave feeling full.

Come on Chef you must do better sizing the portions your tasting menu.
