Food did not have much taste, but the service was horrible. 2 hour table limit but waited 36 minutes for a server (after we had to ask two different bussers..). If we hadn't paid for valet, we would have just left. All apps came out together, but we were never asked if we wanted anything else so we just decided to leave. Had to ask two MORE people for our check, then a random waitress just came over and ran our bill. We were just happy to be done with it. read more

Azul was a high energy hot spot. We felt the food was overpriced when compared to portion size. I ordered the shrimp tacos. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The tacos needed more garnishing to justify the price. It is definitely an establishment for a younger crowd. The music was blasting and the theme was alcohol. I took my teenage sons. This is not the spot for teenagers. I will not be attending this restaurant again. read more

I never write reviews but I saw this place on TikTok and was so excited about it for our girls trip. We found foil in our salsa, there was a lipstick print on one of the complementary shots they gave us, and then I bit into the breakfast potatoes (they're huge btw) and a piece of parchment paper was cooked into it I guess mistaken as the potato skin. They have a great atmosphere and concept going but need to do wayyy better on the food/sanitation side of things. read more

OVER RATED!!!! Ive been there before and received stellar service amd food. Second and last time there, spent $130 at bar and over $300 on food. I could have went to restaurant in Pilsen and had better service and food. They lost the credit card for table next to us and said " it cant be far." TheN none of the items we wanted was available so we all had steak tacos and my husband has pasta which was the same as the lobster mac n cheese. Not going back EVER! read more

The food was ok but do NOT sit on the patio. The bugs were horrible and they didn't have insect candles. The service was sub par. We had to constantly look for our server. I won't be back. read more

I wish there was a way to date this zero stars.. we definitely not coming back again.. worst experience ever.. the service is the worst ..First of all Parking is $20.. then when we ordered.. they took forever to bring our food.. the waitress didn't even come by us to see what we needed.. Everything is Overpriced., and the food is ok .. .. And the worst Part of my visit was.. that we weren't finished eating when the busboy came to our table and started cleaning and spilling all the crumbs and garbage on us.. I was furious about this and complained..but I guess management doesn't care.. My Recommendation..Don't come here.. read more

If your goal is to impress by spending unnecessary $$ this is the place. The service is the worst. First guest at my table was served salad and entree together. 20 minutes later, next person got some soup. After another 15 minutes most got their entree. Last entree came 30 minutes later. When i asked the server what the delay was, she said that's how the kitchen there do it. The food taste and portions were decent - if your willing to pay $15+ for three tacos or $41 for some red snapper. Drinks started at $$ and went up to $$$$. Seating is a choice of frigid cold and blasting music inside or buggy with no view outside. Add $15 cash to park. Azul is not worth the expense . read more

Service was good. However, a lot of things that I ordered were out. Torta's, Elote bowl's, and even chips and guac. Apparently they get very busy on Sunday's, but I was there at 2:45. They only have Valet, unless you find street parking which is quite limited. I also ordered the Michelada Kit and only got 6 beers, and the mix. According to the menu it was supposed to come with all of the garnishes for $65, so that was a waste. read more

Basic food for such a. high price. bad vibes there, the waitresses and workers looks stuck up and rude.. The tacos were 16 dollars for just 4 little tacos. It's crazy. Overrated forsure. You can get so much more food somewhere else for that price. read more

I saw this place on TV and wanted to try it. First they wouldn't deliver to me so I ordered pick- up. I ordered at 6pm and was informed that the food would be ready at 6:30 pm. Drove down and tried to call the restaurant to let them know I arrived but they never answered the phone. Finally one of the valets entered the restaurant and came back to say the food would be there soon. A few minutes later someone came out and said the food would be out soon. Soon after that we were asked to leave the parking lot and wait on the curb. Shortly after I parked on the curb a third guy came out and said the order didn't go through and did I want to wait. You can guess my answer! read more

Overrated and over hyped. Expensive for extremely small portions. I'd look elsewhere for mariscos

Food was ok but they were out of salad. Price for what you receive is sky high. Music was extremely loud, made the entire experience unbearable, my ears are still ringing. If you want to overpay for some rice and bread and feel like you are sitting in a dance club on very uncomfortable chairs, this is the place. read more

I really wanted to like this place because a friend recommended it to me, but the service was horrible. Terrible communication between staff, bus boys, hostesses, and cooks. Delay in food, delay in drinks, & other basic needed items (cutlery, water, napkins, etc). Had to ask for these items like 5x. My food didn't come out warm. Maybe they did not know how to handle the crowd that was there today, but still. I'm very disappointed. Maybe it will be better on another day, that is if I come back. read more

We heard lots of good things about this place but were skeptical based on other reviews we read. but when we arrived everything we feared was confirmed . The food came out cold and was much less than satisfactory. When it came time to pay our bill we had to ask our server 3 times for it, it seemed she was much to interested in the man at the bar than the people she was suppose to be serving. I will not recommend this place to others. read more

We came here because we saw it on TikTok but this place did not live up to the hype. The apparently ran out of tequila because the margs were just straight up juice would not come back. read more

Food was cold. My steak was over seasoned. Not good service. Calamari was cooked hard and was dark. There were not even busy at that time.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE. I am horrified to even have to relive my experience here. After a brief drive around, we decided to use the valet. We pulled up to the sign that said "Valet Stop Here" and a man walked up and asked what we wanted. When we said we were eating dinner there he pointed to the gravel lot and said "$15 to park here" and walked away from our car. This is a new form of valet I've never seen before. When we got to the host stand to check in for our reservation they attempted to first seat us in a very dark, interior corner of the restaurant. Due to Covid, and also because we were hoping for a good view, I inquired about the rooftop. The hostess said "Um well it rained like an hour ago so its closed, but we open back up later" to which I responded that we would love to be seated out by the river on the first floor in the meantime and then would love to have a drink on the rooftop after our dinner. The hostess said that would be fine. We were seated and attempted to order two Victorias. The waitress said they "didn't have any of those delivered today" and listed off four or five beers average beers to choose from. We had the shrimp ceviche and the lobster empanadas. Ceviche was mediocre, the empanadas not worth the calories. Upon paying our overpriced bill, I stated that we would like to move up to the roof for another drink per my conversation with the hostess earlier. The waitress told us she needed to check to see if it was open. She returned and let us know that it was open but they were doing a "minimum spend per table" up there. I was shocked be told we had a minimum spend since we had just eaten dinner, but I asked how much the minimum was. The waitress told us they "aren't even doing two top tables, only four tops, and the minimum spend for a four top is $250." AFTER WE HAD ALREADY EATEN. THE PLACE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. Needless to say, we left and will never return, and I will make sure none of my family or friends do. I gave this place a chance based on the fact that I am familiar with an artist that did a new mural inside and also because I knew the view from the rooftop would make for a nice summer evening view. I was severely mistaken in making reservations here. Pathetic. read more

This restaurant made me uncomfortable. As I was sitting and trying to enjoy my meal I had to watch a clan of at least 5 large spiders and an assortment of other bugs crawl around the ceiling near our table. It was disgusting and my friends and I will not be returning. Please look into extermination. The food was good though. read more

My friend from Chicago recommended this place knowing how much I love mariscos. We had 9:30pm reservations on a stay night. When we pulled up valet greeted us & was professional. $20 to park so keep that in mind. The restaurant was thumping with salsa & regatone music like a club. My boyfriend is Hispanic & loves the music but even he said it was way too loud for a restaurant setting. After checking in, we requested to be seated outside on the patio by the river. It's a beautiful view & the music volume is more tolerable. We ordered- spicy mango margarita 10/10 very potent, shrimp cocktail 10/10 (Mexican shrimp cocktail is better than traditional hands down), fish ceviche 8/10 (a little fishy for my taste & I have had better), mariscos pasta 10/10 (creamy and garlicky. Perfection) shrimp in azule sauce 100/10!!! Spicy & will set your mouth on FIRE. I would recommend this place but took 1 star away on account of the loud music & dirty table top. read more

They make the best drink i've ever had- "Summer Passion". GET IT! Super fun atmosphere and sweet staff.

I cannot say enough about this place.... Absolutely amazing seafood. Atmosphere... the only negative is the neighborhood and it can get a bit loud read more

Overpriced food and drinks, and the quality of both are underwhelming. The Patron tower though cute barely has any alcohol and the food is flavorless. Decent photo-op but do not fall for the hype and go there, you will leave unhappy and disappointed. read more

I was so excited to try Azul but it wasn't as great as I expected. The hi top chairs I had to put my coat underneath me because it hurt so bad to sit and I basically was on my tippy toes. I love the touch of a free sample of a margarita, and our server was very nice. But the feel for the place and the food wasn't worth the price or hype. I ordered the pineapple seafood dish and the chipotle cream was too much and I didn't feel like you got a lot of seafood. read more

Been here twice & it never disappoints! They serve delicious meals & very tasty drinks . I love that they always give you complimentary margarita shots . Make sure to grab those lobster empanadas! read more

Food is decent, you're pretty much paying for the atmosphere. Came here for a birthday, didn't tell the staff but had a good time. We had dinner downstairs, margarita tower is fun to see - kiwi and tamarind were so yummy. We got the plates full of crawfish, forgot the official mil name - fun finger food for a big group. If you order the Mac n cheese, get it with lobster. So so good. Highly recommend. Aguachile was not good though. Our server was so cute, she was so patient with us looking through the menu but checked up on a timely matter. Later got bottle service upstairs, girls were friendly. And nice to have somewhere to dock our friends boat - the whole staff was helpful and help navigate us around. Would recommend to my friends for the experience read more

Azul is such a fun vibe for a girls night! The music was also poppin'! We got the lobster Mac and cheese, calamari, and the seafood Quesadilla. The Lobster Mac and cheese is a must. It was amazing and I will order again. They also give a lot of Calamari which was perfect for 2-3 people. We did not like the seafood quesadilla or the sauce that came with it as much. It was also small, flat, and slightly burnt. It didn't look appetizing. We also got the Azul Marg and the passion fruit marg which were both good. Right when you arrive, they hand you mango marg shot which was very fruity (I would get that marg). Our server was amazing and so friendly. We also got our food fast and didn't wait long at all for a Friday night. I didn't like how we were shoved in the back , right next to the kitchen door tho, because the lights were brighter and the azul ambiance was less fun than if you were seated in the front. The place is on the pricey side which is why we shared three small plates. I will definitely go again with a bigger group to get the margarita tower! I would also want to go during the day time next time because I feel like the view by the water would be beautiful. read more

Meh, not what I expected. Food is good, drinks didn't seem worth the price, and the environment wasn't anything too exciting. For all of the amazing place in Chicago I wouldn't say go out of your way to be here.. read more

I saw this place online and decided to make reservations for me and my friends two days before because you know how packed and busy restaurants can get in Chicago. Me and my partner arrived a little late but my two other friend got there in time for our table reservations. Apparently they give you free welcome shots with mango and tequila, I loved that detail! I never really experienced a free welcome shot, what a way to start our dining experience! We ordered our food and drinks, when I am telling you..... the food and drinks were AMAZING, so fresh and delicious. I got the seafood pasta and guava margarita (which I will say was on the stronger side, but I'm definitely NOT complaining, lol!) But overall this experience was amazing because of our wonderful waiter, she was so patient with us and very welcoming and great. Thank you to all the staff I will definitely be coming back and recommending to all my friends. read more

Azul - Pasta de Mariscos Seafood Pasta* - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

The service is very friendly but this place is really overpriced for the quality. The cocktails aren't that great to be $16. The menu does not allow substitutions so if you have dietary restrictions this is not the place for you. read more

Food was great and came out so fast. Drinks were amazing. I went for my birthday and got a cute little piñata full of candy and a voucher that I will 100% be going back to redeem. I absolutely love it. You have to try the aguachiles and the lobster empanadas read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The food was amazing and the service was top of the line our waitress Becca made sure we were satisfied with everything that was brought to our table and made sure we had everything we needed. The place was very clean & the atmosphere was also amazing. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks to The chefs and Becca for the great food & service. read more

Had a coupon so wanted to try this place out. The website clearly stated that reservations weren't required but when I got there the parking attendant tells me they are booked 3 months out and so did the "bouncer" at the door. So we called and the lady who answered said it was okay to walk in. We were seated for 30 minutes before anyone came and took our order. The server walked around with our food and drinks allowing people to talk over it DURING COVID because they didn't know who the order belonged to because they clearly don't communicate with each other. Our food was cold when we got it and it took the waitress another 35 minutes to take our payment and close us out so we could leave. The waitress seemed irritated the entire time. I won't be coming back. read more

We did a Father's Day brunch at Azul because our prior experience there was amazing. However, we had a very different experience during our brunch. We were given a 2 hour window (normal) in which we had a deadline of 1 pm. Not only did our food arrive at staggered intervals of 30 minutes, by the time that our 2 hour mark arrived, half of our table had not even received their meals. We decided to go ahead and cancel the orders because some of our party had to run. When we received the bill with the comped plates, the meals finally were brought out. Instead of being accommodating due to our 2+ hour wait for food, the waitress had the staff send it back since she had already taken it off the bill. As someone who has worked in the service industry for 10 years, at that point I would have had the staff box up the food for all of the trouble we went through. We also received and were charged for a Paloma after we ordered a mocktail which was very disappointing. We did not notice that the person had been drinking an alcoholic beverage the entire time until we received the bill. We were very unimpressed with the service we received and the lack of accountability/accommodation by the wait staff. We did not hear a single apology which is why we will not be returning. read more

The food has been amazing both times that I've been. The drinks are delicious and the service is great! I had the aguachiles, lobster empanadas and churro French toast and all three dishes were spectacular. Our waitress was amazing and so sweet. I will definitely be back! read more

You want corporate service? Head to Buffalo Wild Wings. You want personalized service that will exceed every expectation you've conjured? This is your place. After being blown away already about to get up and head to the door, Matilde, a member of the management team stopped by to check on our visit. She was attentive, inquisitive, knowledgeable, and above all, you could easily tell she truly cared about every customer that walked in the door, whether you are just sitting down or having already paid and about to leave. She's a star. read more

Amazing drinks, incredible food, the best service and such a fun atmosphere. This is going to be a poppin summer destination once the weather warms up! Will be back with friends!!! read more

Is it a club or a restaurant? Won't be going back. Food was ok portions could be bigger. Had the lobster role and typically lobster rolls are over flowing with lobster, not here. Charging for parking in their own parking lot. And the fricking music was SO LOUD you can't hear people at your table or the servers. Why does a restaurant hire a DJ to play club music for dinner?!?!?! Order pick up, I wouldn't done in. read more

Me and friends had dinner here and the food was not good at all. I was disappointed in their ceviche and their lobster empanadas were not hot! We also ordered the pineapple and lobster ravioli entree and both were "meh". The lobster in the ravioli was disgusting and had a weird taste. I rated this place three stars because the atmosphere is nice, my drink was great, and so were the servers who constantly checked to see if we needed anything. read more

The staff was great fast food just the food was not that great just a great place for drinks and that's it the rice water was not natural tasted like it was the powder kind i expected a way better taste on the food but was not worth the money or the time read more

Food was delicious. We ordered a couple of things to share at the table - the lobster roll, camarones a la diabla, the burger and piña rellena. The piña was our favorite, incredibly flavorful without being heavy. Service all around could use improvement but the manager clearly is aware as we got a complimentary dessert as a thank you for our patience and he made it a point to check in with all tables to get feedback. read more
