Azarias opened five years ago and has be-
come a hotspot by word of mouth and pop-
ular reviews. I visited it on a Tuesday night,
which is usually a slow day in the restaurant
business, but Azarias had a steady stream of
customers, some sitting at the bar, others
at tables.
There is a wine list which has online de-
scriptions of each of the selections, ranging
in price from $45 a bottle to $590.
The food selections are rather inex-
pensive, but you'll need to order a few to
fully enjoy the shared-plate experience.
Seafood, meat, and pastas are the prima-
ry categories, but within each are various
choices. There's a top-10 list headed up by
Spicy Fried Shrimp Tacos.
Azarias is simple and yet distinct because
of the atmosphere. It's an experience that
begins from the moment you enter the
restaurant.
Of the four restaurants I visited, this one
stood out the most because of its simplicity
and the way Mark works the room.
