 Chef
Clay Conley is at the helm of Azul. His
diverse cuisine is a blend of Mediterranean
flavors with Asian influences. The rising
star chef honed his culinary reputation
at Todd English’s acclaimed Olives
restaurant, where he served as executive
chef and culinary director.
At
the focus of Azul, a magnificent white marble
open kitchen and raw bar vie for your attention
with the floor to ceiling windows that showcase
the picturesque bay views. Once the
food arrives however, your attention is sure to be captured by the dishes
themselves – like Grilled Chop and Loin of Colorado Lamb with Harrisa,
Charred Eggplant, Braised Shank Bastila and Feta and "A Study in
Tuna Roll," Raw Tuna, Tempura Avocado, Asian Sauces with Ossetra
Caviar.
 Azul's
wine program, designed by sommelier Richard
Hales, features more than 700 world-class
wines. The award-winning
wine list encompasses a mix of current releases, to classic
vintages from the finest producers, with the latest boutique wineries
worldwide.
Should
you be inspired to participate in classes
where Chef Conley shares his cooking tips
and skills, classes are scheduled on Saturdays
and include a sumptuous, three-course tasting
menu matched with premium wines.
The entertaining and informative class will allow you to create gastronomic
delights, discover new flavor techniques and learn the art of creating
beautiful menus.
Classes are held on Saturdays every two months from 9:30am to 1pm. Cost
is USD 150 per person and includes a three-course menu with wines.
