We showed up at Azaria due to the great reviews on Yelp.
The 4 of us were seated quickly and had no problems fitting right in.
The crowd here was a mix of business meetings , friends and people on dates .
On the tables were live cut your own Rosemary and Basil . Fantastic.
We ordered :
Truffle mushroom risotto
Spicy scrimp taco
Montreal smoked meat sliders
Cheese fondue
sausage
Apples
Salami
Penne regata
Meatball sliders
This might seem like quite a bit for 4 people but it really wasn't. Every thing came out appetizer sized and we shared.
The tables general opinion of the food ranged from "amazing" to "good ...but not as the amazing sliders"
My favorite was their Montreal smoked meat slider (as you've probably infererred)
I've had smoked meat sandwiches in famous delis in Las Vegas , Montreal and New York and I can honestly say these little sliders hold their own among the worlds best.
Mounds of smoked meat on tasty little slider buns . I was in heaven .
Their fried shrimp sliders were also quite good . Wrapped in a soft tortilla the thumb sized fried shrimp were a nice crunchy comparison .
The only disappointment was the inhouse dessert.
It was an old tiramisu . I don't know when it was made but definitely not fresh.
With a beer my portion $35 . Pretty solid for what I got .
Why 4 stars ?
Azaria has amazing food.
Fantastic selection .
Nice atmosphere .
Good value for money .
Why not 5 stars?
Weak dessert
staff were only so so (they really didn't know much about the food )
