AZUR restaurant and patio

Matthew Derosett

I had a really good time here. It was the first date my girlfriend and I had been on since we last saw each other. The food was really nice. The complimentary cornbread was more than a welcome surprise. The service was great and the dessert was lovely. Some things on the online menu aren’t on the actual menu but that’s alright. Would come here again. Good spot.

Always a great experience, but tonight was exceptional. Myself and some girlfriends met on the patio and had a wonderful time thanks to Bethany, our server. The food was phenomenal. Bethany recommended the fried green tomatoes and they did not disappoint. Perfectly fried and the mozzarella was a nice addition. The crabcake was very good as well. But the UK roll and the goat cheese and split pea risotto was to die for. And then I finished it off with a derby pie and it was unbelievable. Could not be more happy. And Bethany is the absolute best.

Fat Man Reviews

Over the weekend, Fat Man Reviews ventured to Azur Restaurant and Patio in Lexington, KY. Azur is a chef driven bistro offering locally sourced food in a stylish American eatery. My fiancé tried the Lavender Ginger Lemonade, made with Tito's Vodka, lemon juice, lavender honey and ginger ale. It was lemon heavy, tart with a lot of soda. I had the Maple & Oak. This drink is made with maple syrup, orange peel and Reagan's orange bitters muddled together and Four Roses. It was all bourbon with a slight orange smell. We tried the Pimento Cheese Fritters, fried pimento cheese balls and bourbon peach chutney. The fritters were fried well, and the cheese was creamy. The peach chutney was ice-cold and tasted like peach preserves with a lot of cinnamon. It did not compliment the fritters when combined. My fiancé ordered the 12oz French Pork Chop. This was served with macaroni and cheese and sugar snap peas, not what is on the online menu. The pork chop was cooked and seasoned really well. It was juicy and very tasty. The peas had a nice crunch. The macaroni was overcooked, and the cheese sauce was grainy, it needed some seasoning. I ordered a Caesar Salad ahead of my entrée. This was made with romaine hearts, black pepper, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese and cornbread croutons. The dressing had a heavy lemon taste. It was good but very thin. The Parmesan was very fine and mixed with the dressing and became clumpy. The cornbread croutons were mostly burnt. For my entrée I had the Ahi Tuna. This is served with seared tuna, cooked to order(rare), Chinatown pork dumplings and chopstick spinach salad with a lemon-ginger sauce. The salad was fantastic as was the dressing. The dumplings were cold and lacked seasoning. The tuna was tough to cut and chew. It had a heavy pepper taste but required salt. There was an orange sauce served with the dish that was very orange, sweet and tangy, but it did not help the dish. Azur has a relaxed atmosphere and a great patio. They serve brunch on the weekends and have a full bar but no draft beers. The Fat Man says that Azur Restaurant and Patio is Not Fat Man Approved.

My girlfriend and I stopped in for the $6 chicken sandwich called Jamaican me crazy. It was absolutely out of this world delicious. Even our spinach salad was the best salad I've had anywhere. I would love to come back and try their China Town steam dumplings along with their pimento cheese fritters and some of the other entrees that they have. We also had their margaritas and they were excellent.
