| - I have to preface this with: Our expectations in the far North Valley are terribly low.
That said, Azool is good by any standard.
It's set up with the bar in the center, with old-style wooden booths along one wall, a fairly large performance / dining space, and a great patio.
The servers really set Azool apart. They all know the menu, they're willing to bend over backwards to get you want you want, and they're always far enough away that they aren't hovering, but close and attentive enough to catch your eye if you need something.
The menu is both modern and unpretentious. Everything from barely-grilled panko-crusted ahi sashimi over greens, to basic bar sliders. It's a brief menu (only a page), but it's the kind of food I actually eat.
My one complaint is that they only have a handful of beers on tap, and aren't very adventurous with their drinks.
Sometimes they have live music, and it's great. Just someone with a guitar and a good voice, playing good music.
"Good" about sums up Azool. Everything about it is predictable, but well-done and enjoyable.
Update: Went here last night, and they ran out of carbon dioxide for the soda. They ran to the grocery store and bought some bottled soda for us, and still didn't charge us for the drinks. Awesome service.
