White French doors open out to a gorgeous courtyard dining area with intimate seating for cocktails and light bites. With its French influence Villa Azur provides Miami with chic French elements and an Italian twist evident in its traditionally good food. The menu at Villa Azur offers an array of serious indulgences from veal fillet mignon to rigatoni in morel mushroom sauce, Châteaubriand or Fresh branzino to share and not-to-be missed macaroons. With a fabulous space, Villa Azur provides the ambiance perfect for a chic night out on the town – great for large groups or an intimate date! A 200-bottle Cave d’Azur wine cellar serves deliciously simple French meats, cheeses, and sandwiches by day, turning into a wine bar and tasting room by night.
"We reserved with open table for 1015pm. We arrived at 950pm and waited until 1115pm for our table with almost no response from the managers. The place was not full at all. They seem to be very distractive and not paying attetion to their work. Also, we requested a terrace table and when we got the table it had a unbalanced leg and had to ask to move to another table. At the end they apollogize since we had to complain and express our insatisfaction. They need to improve their service really bad."

"We went to Villa Azur for a special birthday dinner for my sister's 30th Birthday with a large group of 10 women. The restaurant was more beautiful than expected.
The Maître d' host was fantastic! (I feel bad that I forgot his name) He made us feel so special and tried his best to set a beautiful table outside, however the weather in Miami was not cooperating and the rain never let up so we sat inside - which was not a problem.
The food was good and the service was impeccable. I would definitely come back here and look forward to having a romantic dinner."

"Great service- adored our waiter. Steak tartare and lemon merengue were delicious. Special seafood risotto and filet mignon was standard- well executed but nothing out of this world. Interesting scene of gorgeous women 40+."

"The restaurant itself is aesthetically if very nice. The service is good at best. The tables are very close to each other and if you are a non smoker with a table on either side smoking it is annoying while trying to enjoy your meal. The food is mediocre and the pricing is extravagant. I live in New York and travel the world and to pay $300.00 for dinner for two without wine, for a mediocre (at best) meal is over the top. Once you surpass $100.00 per person the respective restaurant should be offering something exceptionable."

"My husband and I were looking for a great French restaurant for our 6th anniversary. We found it at Villa Azur, waiters and barmaid speak French and are real French people ... but nice:) I took the Foie Gras and it was excellent. My husband took the calamari (not so French) and liked it. we continued with fish and were both very happy. The sommelier recommended a wine that met our tasting but surprised us. We went with his recommendation and were honnestly surprised how good the pairing with meals was. We were not as satisfied with the dessert as my husband was looking for a Creme Brulee and the profiteroles were too different than the classic version. We received this outstanding food with outstanding service in a fantastic place."

"What an amazing place! Reminded us a lot the hot places in St Tropez and London. Service was outstanding, food was very very good and on time. Best of All is the music which makes people want to dance; a few stood up and started dancing too."

"Of the four times we have dined there, three were five star and this one was a four. pas mal.. The only complaints involved the appetizer and main course arriving simultaneously, and the "extra large rib eye" being about 2 cm thick.
Still, a great experience and we look forward to the next time."

"I made a reservation 2-3 weeks ago, asking for a nice table because it was a special occasion. When we arrived last saturday, the table was the opposite I had asked for. It was almost hideen and out of the ambiance. The night was really cold and they didn't have a heater for us. It was impossible to be there. The good part of the story is that they realized that I was really dissappointed and tried to solve the problem efficiently. We had to wait for a while in the middle of the place but, fortunately, the result was great. It did worth it."

"the setting is very interesting and the noise level deafening given that there is an in-house dj keeping the music happening. If one is interested in talking, this probably isn't the place to go. The service was friendly and totally unfocused and uncoordinated. Once food finally arrived it was quite good and management was apologetic. Given that the music was great for dancing, we stayed and danced after dinner! Servers were careful not to run into us as we danced by the bar(there really isn't a good place to actually dance)."

"The first time I went the food was good and the second timei ordered the same thing because it was so good the first time and it was only so so, my three other dinner companions did not enjoy their food at all. The whole Bronzino was mushy and very overpriced. And the veal was so overlooked and cold. And the martinis were served only half full. Place is fun but not worth the money. Also the desserts were a total bore"

"My wife and I went for Valentine’s Day. The Restaurant was full and staff was a little rushed but our waiter was great. The food may be the best in Miami. House made Foie Gras is perfect; Scallop Carpaccio with shaved Black truffles is my new Favorite. Special fish that night was a whole Turbot from the Mediterranean. I have never seen Turbot on a menu in the USA. It was prepared perfectly tableside. Villa Azur is also the most beautiful restaurant on the beach. Overall an absolute perfect choice for a romantic night"

"The most enchanted courtyard in south beach and delicious food! The artichoke salad was amazing and plentiful, the octopus with sweet basil tomato, mixed green salad and lemon sauce that my husband took was perfectly cooked with the perfect blend of flavor. The steamed Sea Bass is one of the best that I have ever ate, tender and tasty. The veal scallopini in a lemon sauce was amazing. The service was attentive and friendly. I can say that this place is definitely a gem in Miami. Don't miss it."

"This was an amazing evening at Villa Azur in Miami Beach; I have been to many restaurants before and first off let me say this was hands down the best one i have ever been to. Every one that works here is so knowledgeable and helpful, they're always spot on, and never tried to push the pricier options on me. The restaurant was absolutely amazing! You walk into an amazingly classy room, beautiful looking space; the fixtures, the lighting and the decoration are gorgeous. If you're looking for something other than “ordinary” this is a great place to dine. Nice tables and couches a fire pit by the wall, beautiful well-dressed hostess to great you. And all of that is just the waiting area, after that you go in for your great dining experien"

"I visited Villa Azur with my boyfriend for his birthday and all I can say is WOW!!! from the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly hostesses who gave the option of having a drink at the bar or seating straight away which we did. The romantic décor and charming outdoor garden added to a comfortable and relaxed evening. The waiter was very polite and gave suggestions and recommendations. I chose the seared fresh tuna with avocado and baby spinach to start and it was perfect. For my entrée the 12oz ribeye steak that I asked for medium rare was cooked perfectly, extremely tender and filled with flavour. For dessert the waiter arrived with a beautiful birthday cake with sparklers and the staff sang happy birthday along to music. PERFECT"

"This was a very disappointing restaurant exerience. We had a wonderful dinner at Villa Azur last year and came again with our family. The meal was tepid, dry, lacking savory quality or interest.and some dishes with substitute ingredients. Our waiter had just started so didn't know the menu. The stuffed veal filet mignon was dry, the branzino was a bland and flavorless, the xxl rib eye was cut very thin and was so fatty, half was inedible...and it was served lukewarm. A pile of mesculen greens were substituted for the hearts of lettuce salad I ordered. Limp and under dressed salad without interest. My brother-in-laws appetizer was served in a side dish bowl....it had no plating technique and looked completely unappealing. Wine was good"

"Everything was absolutely beautiful! Sitting outside in the courtyard under the stars with a very pleasing mix of music from the DJ was an excellent experience. The food, grilled baby octopus, Truffle ravioli, seared tuna, Brandino, and fabulous desserts, was all cooked to perfection and served professionally. Good things come at a price so dinner for two with two bottles of Sancere and the automatic 18% tip was $440 but worth it."

"We had a wonderful experience with visiting friends. From start to finish, we experienced excellent service. The decor is fabulous, which speaks for itself, but it was a pleasant surprise that the food (omg sea bass! Nutella mousse!) and the service were equally as lovely (we heard mixed reviews before trying it ourselves). Moreover, our accompanying friends' baby sitter cancelled last minute and the manager/ staff perfectly accommodated the sleeping children in their stroller, which many high end restaurants in south beach would have sneered at. DJ was playing great music which really kept things lively - in a good way - and didn't overpower dinner conversation (we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant from the bar)."
