Azure

Azure is the dining room at the Lenox hotel. There was a surprisingly boisterous crowd on the evening that I visited, which avoided the dread “hotel dining room” feel but was not ideal for anyone having a business meeting. The menu is moderately ambitious, with even an amuse-bouche – here a simple salmon croustade. Two scallops were attractive presented and pan-fried carefully (13/20). For the main course, medallions of tuna were seared rare and encrusted with peppercorns in reasonable balance (sometimes this combination can be dominated by the sharp taste of the pepper) and featured good tuna (14/20). ”Lemon dessert” was technically less impressive, but still pleasant (12/20). A somewhat limited wine list oddly had no dessert wines at all.
