Reviews
The tasting menu was impressive, with various options for each course and consistently high-level flavours and presentation.
Our waiter, Nester, was outstanding—knowledgeable, detailed in his explanations, and genuinely personable, which added greatly to the experience.
While the desserts we selected were a little underwhelming in flavour, they were beautifully presented, and other choices may have suited us better.
Overall, an amazing dining experience in a stunning location.
We indulged in the five-course meal and every single dish felt carefully crafted and thoughtfully composed.
Course 1 — Soup & Salad: The soup was warm and comforting, a lovely start that awakened the palate. The salad was fresh and vibrant — crisp greens and seasonal vegetables tossed with just the right vinaigrette, setting a perfect stage for the courses ahead.
Course 2 — Kauaʻi Shrimp Poke & Scallop Tataki Ceviche: The Kauaʻi shrimp poke felt like the island itself on a plate — bright, briny sea asparagus, Maui sweet onion, and kukui nut gave it so much depth and character. The scallop tataki ceviche was elegant and delicate; the chili-yuzu emulsion added a subtle heat and acidity, balanced by daikon and a plantain chip that gave the dish a perfect textural pop.
Course 3 — Risotto / Pasta: The lobster & cured-egg-yolk risotto was creamy, indulgent, and rich — the poblano pepper butter added a smoky warmth that complemented the lobster beautifully. The alternative mushroom risotto offered a deeper, earthy contrast, with its mushroom dashi and parmesan harmonizing flawlessly. The caramelle pasta filled with shrimp was luxurious and comforting, the creamy alo macho sauce coated each piece, while uni and ikura added marine richness that made each bite feel special.
Course 4 — Main: Lamb & Lobster: We chose the lamb, and it was magnificent. The meat was tender and flavorful, elevated by the avocado-leaf chimichurri — a bright, herbal, slightly citrus-tinged sauce that felt balanced and refined. The romanesco mousseline and baby carrots rounded out the plate with elegance. The lobster alternative — with guava-macadamia nut sauce, green hollandaise and cassava — sounded divine too, and the thoughtfulness in offering both surf and turf shows Azure’s commitment to variety and excellence.
Course 5 — Dessert: The dessert course was playful yet refined. The Waialua chocolate bar was a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth — rich chocolate crunch, velvety chocolate cake, and a light orange whipped cream that cut through the richness in the most satisfying way. The faux abalone dessert (haupia mousse, matcha, hojicha cake, sesame sand) was creative and unexpected — delicate, layered, and beautifully island-inspired.
We ended the evening with coffee and tea — the perfect mellow finish after such an indulgent meal.
Service was exceptional: attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. The staff made us feel welcomed and truly taken care of throughout the evening — from explanations of each course to the timing and flow — Azure delivered a full-on feast for all senses. If you’re looking for incredible cuisine, serene beachfront vibes, and an experience that lingers in memory, this is the place.
First course: The caesar salad was presented in a beautiful and unique way, also super delicious!
Second course: Tuna tiradito nikkei was fantastic. Seafood trio was ok. The sea grapes were quite salty and it kind of threw the dish off.
For the third course, we had the TAKO and the Tomato and King Crab. Both were very delicious but the octopus was a bit in the chewy side.
Fourth course: Beef was excellent and Lamb was really nice too. The macadamia nut miso was unique and flavorful but again, a bit on the salty side.
Fifth course: we both had the Cajeta mousse. Super delicious, unique flavors, beautifully presented.
The service was excellent was well, very knowledgeable and friendly. This was an anniversary dinner for us, and they had a note and acknowledged it upon arrival and at the table. Very well done and made for a memorable evening!
One downside however, they wanted to seat us outside for a beautiful view, but Waikiki beach was still very busy and it didnt make for a nice quiet special evening. I don’t blame the restaurant or their staff for this though… just something to keep note of when you chose where to sit.
