Love the Wine and Chocolate Combo 3/9/2011

I'm not a big chocolate lover but the dark chocolate served with the red wine here is fabulous.The chicken lollipops were delicious --would definitely order again and come again. more

AYZA is the perfect restaurant! 3/9/2011

I came here on Sunday night for couples night. WOW what a special. My girlfriend was in shock when we showed up and the table was covered in rose petals. To eat, I had the Mediterranean salad to start and the Pan-Roasted Wild Sea Bass which was cooked to perfection. The night ended with a chocolate truffles complementary from AYZA. What a perfect night! more

Great wine/food but not romantic 2/22/2011

Took my wife for a belated valentine's day celebration, based on listed on Citysearch Best Romantic restaurant. The place was packed, which is expected for a Friday night, but with parties of loud yelling women. No couples. The place was so loud we had to sit outside to hear each other. As far as the wine and food, the taste made up for the noise! We had spiced wine, which was fantastic for the cool air outside, and a great cheese plate. The White Truffle Pizza tasted really creamy, and salty in a good way, but way too oily. The baby shrimp was over-salted but saved by the mango. The Chocolate martinis BLEW US AWAYand the truffle that came with it was like a huge slice of devils food cake in a little square. I recommend this for a girls night out, but not a first date. more

Loved the Concept 12/14/2010

This is definitly a new concept - wine and chocolate - together! Wine and cheese I can understand, but wine and chocolate, really?! :) I was surprised to see that this bizzare combination works! We had a couple of drinks and a lot of chocolate!!! The service was great and we will come back soon. more

Editorial
  • With a menu that's as worldly as the 90-plus wine list, there's something for everyone at Ayza--well, everyone except that really hungry guy, since all the dishes are rather petite. Francophiles will be pleased with indulgent offerings like creme fraiche with caviar and chicken paillard, but it's the cheese plates that aren't to be missed. The herb goat cheese and cave aged gruyere with honey and pear is a sumptuous mix of savory, sweet and fresh; were it not for the thimble-sized portion, it would quell any craving. High ceilings, a wall of wine bottles and rich red hues create the illusion of coziness despite the stark, modern details. The display of Jacques Torres truffles doesn't hurt, either.

    Hits: The prices are affordable, especially for high-end, presentation-focused cheeses and choice wines.

    Misses: Although Ayza is located between Koreatown and the Garment District, the attitude of the staff seems more suited to Soho.
