The restaurant serves seaside-inspired Greek cuisine developed by Chef John Fraser, with menus emphasizing quality ingredients and refreshing Mediterranean flavors. Azure offers Sunday brunch service alongside regular dinner service, providing guests with waterfront views during their meal.

The rooftop location creates an elevated, airy dining atmosphere distinct from ground-level restaurants. Pool Bar shares the rooftop space, offering Mediterranean dishes and craft cocktails. On weekends, Pool Bar transforms into an al fresco cocktail lounge with curated musical entertainment and panoramic neighborhood views.

Market at EDITION and casual dining

Market at EDITION draws inspiration from Italy's coastal regions, featuring fresh pastas, Neapolitan-style pizzas, and coastal-inspired dishes. The menu incorporates fresh coastal herbs including basil, rosemary, and thyme, evoking the relaxed elegance of Mediterranean shores. A distinct Coffee Bar extends the daytime experience, serving La Colombe coffee, daily house-made pastries, and light bites.

The cocktail program employs a garden-to-bar philosophy, with four varieties of fresh herbs displayed on the counter for bartenders to trim fresh to order with each drink. Cocktails feature light bases including gin, vodka, and wine, combined with coastal citrus flavors such as lemon, bergamot, and blood orange. The venue transitions from casual daytime destination to refined evening restaurant.

Additional bar and lounge venues

The hotel features multiple bar and lounge spaces beyond the primary restaurants. Art's Club and Punch Room provide cocktail and lounge options. A Lobby Bar offers additional drink service throughout the day. All venues are designed with the property's contemporary aesthetic and Water Street Tampa neighborhood setting in mind. 24-hour room service allows in-room dining for guests preferring privacy or convenience during their stay.
