AZIE in Media

With Girl Out To Lunch

What to do on a spring like day in February? My go to place is Media. Great shopping and so many places to have lunch.

AZIE recently opened in the building once occupied by the West End Pub. First impression..WOW..The decor is beautiful. Clean lines, warm colors and full of natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. River Stones and Tile on the walls and bar. And no crowded seating, lots of room. I decided to sit in the bar area. The red couch that lined the wall looked comfortable, and the round frosted glass tables, again were not cramped together. Service was immediate even in the lunch hour. Nice size menu. Something for everyone but not over complicated.

I chose the Black Cod with Boc Choy in a white Miso reduction, $18.00. Served to me by manager Joe, the cod was cooked perfectly. One piece of Boc Choy cut in four? More veggies please! Joe was friendly. We had a nice conversation about our Italian Heritage. A very relaxed atmosphere made this an enjoyable meal.

I took a peek at the desert menu. I asked Joe what I should try. The Tofu Cheese Cake $8.00. I was again wowed by the presentation. A square of Tofu Cheese Cake, topped with chopped pineapple, wrapped in a banana leaf. Served with a cup of maple syrup on the side and a fresh flower. Very good and light. So here it is. I think a $35.00 lunch ( including tip ) is a little high for one person. Get rid of the fresh flowers and buy more veggies. I did enjoy myself and I will return to try the Sushi.

Before you go into the restaurant, take a walk around the corner to the side of the building. You can watch the chefs preparing food through the glass windows.

LUNCH GIRL'S TIP: If your planning a special date, reserve a table on the second floor loft.
