About Azul

Located along the Chicago River, Azul is an upscale mariscos (seafood) restaurant serving Latin-inspired fare. Celebrating the rich flavors and fresh ingredients of Latin culinary culture, Azul’s chef-driven menu is brimming with refined representations of classic mariscos cuisine. Azul offers a variety of grilled, baked, fried, and raw proteins as well as ceviches, seafood cocktails, and artfully arranged platters. Guests can look forward to mouthwatering dishes like Grilled King Crab Legs prepared Nayarit-style, Whole Veracruz Red Snapper, and Grilled Tequila Lime Glazed Salmon.

An inventive beverage program includes craft cocktails, cervezas, wine, and international spirits. A list of signature libations will include Margarita towers, locally produced Pinches Miches Micheladas, and seasonal & picturesque specialty cocktails. Large-format drinks are available in pitchers & jarritos (clay pots) and bottle service is available.

The space itself is a visual experience that’s as bold and beautiful as the food & drinks. The walls of the multi-level space are covered in shades of blue with accents of orange and bright white throughout. Original artwork in the form of ocean-inspired murals by Mexico’s Senoke punctuates the space while an eclectic array of glass, metal, and ceramic light fixtures hang from the ceiling.
Oversized windows flood the main dining room and bar with natural light, creating a warm ambiance year-round. A lounge-like area next to the dining room boasts plush banquettes and garage doors, which create a wide-open feel in the summer and cozy atmosphere in the winter.

The crown jewel of Azul is Cielo, its rooftop -one of the largest open-air rooftops in the city of Chicago.
Privada - a private room, and additional patios situated on the first floor, provide extra options for al fresco dining & drinking in the spring, summer, and fall.
