Description: Another cool place on Prospect Street in La Jolla, Azul is a romantic Mediterranean restaurant. It is reached downstairs from the sidewalk level. You are drawn in by its beautiful courtyard with open gas fire raging (see picture below).
Inside, the decor is stone walls, tile floors, and wood beams and trim. The top of the bar is made of pink onyx that is lit from underneath creating a terrific effect.
The menu is Mediterranean inspired, and changes daily. There is a bistro menu available at the bar and the patio that offers appetizers ($3-7), Pizzas ($9), and salads and sandwiches ($9-10).
The dinner menu has 10 different appetizers ($8-17) from cheese, to scallops, to prawns. Entrees ($23-29) include pork chop, lamb, steak, chicken, tuna, salmon, and more. Soup and Salads ($6-7) are also available.
Although I have visited Azul several times, it has always been after dinner and only for drinks. However, their menu and food looks great and I look forward to returning.
Very impressive atmosphere, menu, and friendly, competent service. Don't miss.
