THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED AZ Restaurant Review:


Patricia Yeo is gone, but her replacement, Pino Maffeo, carries on the contemporary Asian-fusion cuisine. The bar scene is happening---you can sip and snack on designer cocktails and appetizers. Ride the glass elevator to the third level dining room, where the retractable glass roof opens in good weather for an al fresco feel. Yeo’s signature duck schnitzel is still on the menu, and other offerings might include grilled gulf prawns with soybean won tons, lapsang souchong smoked quail, and spare ribs tangy with five-spice powder. Studied touches like Indian flatbread with chutneys in place of bread and butter make AZ stand out. The wine list is playfully organized according to properties in the I Ching, and knowledgeable waiters can help you make fruitful pairings.
