I always try to dine out on restaurant week to check out some restaurants I've never been to. This time, I decided to pick Azure because the menu seems appetizing and I heard the view is nice. The dining room is located on the top of of lkf hotel and the dining area is spacious with lots of natural sunlight. It's great for a sunny lunch. Since we already looked at the menu before hand, we quickly told the waiter what we wanted. Then we sat there for atleast 15 minutes and nobody came back to ser
Since we already looked at the menu before hand, we quickly told the waiter what we wanted. Then we sat there for atleast 15 minutes and nobody came back to serve us water or asked us what we want to drink. I finally couldn't wait anymore so I asked for water. After another 15 minutes they finally gave us a bread basket. The breads were lightly warm but none of them were good because they are too chewy and seems like it's been over heated. 
Pan Seared foie gras: home-made brioche with a truffle and sherry soaked raisin veloute.This dish was very well put together starting from the presentation to the taste. The foie gras was lightly seared so the outside was crispy and the inside was soft. It worked perfectly with the sweet sherry sauce on top to balance out the strong foie gras taste. The brioche on the bottom was also hot and crispy.
Lobster Linguini: Al dente Linguini with a lobster bique cream sauce & parmesan cheese, topped with Rocket lettuce This entree was very delicious. There were chunks of lobsters mixed in to the linguini and the pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. The star of the dish must've been the sauce that they tossed everything in. It's creamy and rich lobster bisque flavor but not too buttery where you get sick of it. It also comes in a good portion but since it was so good, I had no problem finishing it.
Chocolate trio: Milk chocolate, Dark chocolate, & amaretto terrin. Served with white chocolate. I'm a dessert freak, and this place makes the desserts sound better than they actually are. The very far left is a piece of chocolate like cake with a layer of chocolate flavored gelatin. This piece was not too sweet but I thought the textures didnt all work well together as a whole. The center piece was just a chocolate mousse like cake rolled up in white chocolate cream. This was my least favorite because it was too sweet and lack any kind of interesting factors to it. It tasted like something I can buy at a local chinese bakery. The ice cream on the right was supposed to be a white chocolate ice cream im assuming. But the texture was more like a gelato and it was way too icy and lacked flavors and texture as well.
Black & White Sesame Creme brulee: Served with mixed berries and almond tuile.This dessert comes with two dishes of creme brulee. One was just a classic flavor and the other with sesame added in. I guess the sesame one was interesting because I've never had creme brulee with a asian twist. But the almond tuile in the middle was horrible since it was stale and wasn't crispy. We ended up not finishing the desserts.
Lastly, we were served a cup of cappuccino and petit fours and they were both disappointments. I usually like to drink my cappuccino without sugar, but this cappuccino was so bitter that I had to add some sugar to even take a couple of sips. Then the petit fours were just pieces of dark chocolate and some cream puffs that were not attractive nor did they taste good. Sadly to say, desserts were a total disappointment. But I enjoyed the appetizer and the entree very much. Also, service can be a little bit more attentive here.
