A world-class restaurant perched along the Waikiki beachfront under the canopy of resort’s dramatic Spanish-Moorish architecture. The bejeweled oceanfront space is adorned with intimate candles, plush banquettes, pillows and pristine table settings – creating an ambiance of exquisite relaxation and upscale dining. 

Chef de Cuisine Jon Matsubara has crafted a menu where fish and the freshest fruits de mer are the restaurant’s forte. Whether it is ahi, opah, onaga, uku, or moi that whets your appetite – locally caught fish are selected each morning at daybreak from the Hawai'i fish auction and then prepared with your pleasure in mind.

One of the Azure menu highlights is the Kona shellfish bowl, which includes lobster, prawns, clams, scallops, abalone mushrooms, konyaku noodle, kaffir lime and chile broth. Choose between a classic preparation of high heat aromatic herb roasting or an innovative Hawaiian regional cuisine preparation served with bright tropical flavors. 

Expert servers and sommeliers provide intuitive recommendations for perfect wine pairing to accent the delicate flavors of the ocean.
