Upscale Greek seafood, creative cocktails, small-batch spirits























"I observed that the space Azumi now occupies was previously home to Ouzo Bay, which was known for Mediterranean-style seafood and closed in 2023 after around three years in business." - Brittany Britto Garley

"A Mediterranean restaurant in the River Oaks District that recently closed on April 30 after a successful run; its owners have announced plans to replace it with a new concept slated to open this winter, with more details to be revealed over the summer." - Brittany Britto Garley

"A Greek seafood spot where a similar dress-code incident occurred in 2020; the episode is cited alongside Baltimore-based Atlas Restaurant Group's subsequent commitment to not having a dress code at its forthcoming D.C. bars in the Moxy hotel." - Tierney Plumb

"With seafood flown in daily from around the globe, Ouzo Bay is one of Houston’s premier destinations for whole fish. Options like Hawaiian kona kampachi from the Pacific and wild-caught dover sole are de-boned then served simply with olive oil. Feast on the fish as-is, or add Mediterranean salsa verde or a champagne reduction with Siberian caviar for an extra boost of flavor." - Megha McSwain

"Seafood choices are aplenty at Ouzo Bay, where over-indulgent eats include whole fish and sea scallops presented with foie gras and mushroom agnolotti. But for a taste of truffle, opt for the lobster truffle risotto with Maine lobster and fragrant black truffle." - Megha McSwain
