Nov 2024 Main lobby resto of the Intercontinental Hotel in Toronto that is the central food and beverage option for guests staying there. The food is updated modern continental cuisine with very professional execution. Menu is compact and catered to business travellers and diners. They also have daily specials worth trying. The service within the outlet is friendly and very service oriented and are very well knowledgeable about the dishes. Room service is also prompt and proper. As for the layout it is architecturally wide and spacious though it does reflect dated styles of past hotels.

Arrived yesterday and went for a cocktail to relax. I met the best, friendliest bartender named William. We don't know the area, and William was very helpful. Every question we asked him about things to do, he had spot on suggestions that is going to make our 3 nights here better. Thanks William 😊 you are great and a definite asset to the hotel.

🥈Food was moderate close to good, but nicely designed 🥉Regarding Atmosphere and interior design , it was disappointing. I expected much more, roof was extremely high 🥉everything was brown in colour and so dark. 🥉The temperature was extremely cold that we couldn’t sit for long, 🥇The only positive comment I can give is about staff who are so nice and caring.

05/26-26/2024 - Visited the Azure Restaurant & Bar during my stay at the hotel it is located in. Beautiful restaurant that resembles a chic, modern, livable loft-like greenhouse engulfed by glass as walls and ceilings. It’s is decorated with live plants used as decor throughout the restaurant. They also grow and use eatable plants in their ingredients for their food options for guests/customers to enjoy. Great service (thank you, Christina). Comfortable chic dining. State of the art bar with cool lighting (both artificial and natural). Nearby parking for a fee. Decent prices.

A nice stop before the Jays game for a quiet and delicious dinner with great service. Mushroom soup had amazing flavour and perfect temperature. Well done! Aracini balls were perfectly crispy on the outside and tasty! Good vegan options and overall a good dinner. Super convenient to have this great restaurant at the hotel for every stay!

This place is one of favourite places. Consistent with food quality and amazing service. The whole restaurant is under a glass dome and it sounds great when it’s raining🥹 The food is just perfect. The soup. The fries ….The fish and steak . I’m there every week and the consistency of the food quality is impressive

I have had the opportunity to go a couple of times and on both occasions the experience has been very pleasant. At breakfast I chose a buffet and it has several very interesting options for each type of taste. At dinner the experience is much more pleasant since the place lends itself to a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends. I will definitely go back on my next visit to Toronto.

I end up staying at the InterContinental hotel each year for a conference and most certainly the highlight of each stay is an end of day beverage in the Azure bar. Each year without fail we make sure we visit when Paula is working. Shes makes an absolutely top shelf Old Fashioned (or frankly, any cocktail Ive asked for, and Im fussy) and she just makes us smile each time. Definitely recommend for a relaxed and social atmosphere.

I was really disappointed with this restaurant experience this morning! Five of us stayed in the hotel so decided to dine at the restaurant for breakfast before heading home. First of all, when we arrived at the restaurant which had very few patrons at the time, there was no one at the host station for a number of minutes. When the young woman did arrive, we got no apology whatsoever, just shepherded to a table nearby. I ordered Eggs Benedict and after waiting a full 20 or so minutes, it arrived full of shell. It was horrible! Our waitress, Penny, did apologize took it away to have another one prepared. It also took a long time to arrive and when it finally did, everyone else had finished eating so I ate my meal while they all waited for me. At the very least, I expected they wouldn t charge me for the $27 Eggs Benedict, but they did . We were all really surprised and pretty ticked off. But as I was with friends who were covering the meal, I felt I couldn t make a fuss, but I left feeling frustrated and annoyed! We ll be finding another restaurant for breakfast on our next visit. Unimpressed, to say the least! **EDIT - After posting this review, the manager got in touch with me and I was happy with her proposed resolution to this issue. I feel much better now and will give the restaurant another chance. I have raised my star rating to 3.

It was not a %100 perfect experience, I would say, but It was enjoyable overall. Waitress was a but nosy detailing every single food eaten or left, and there was not a vast variety for food. But good for trying one time I would say. Oh and pricy! Food

Order got messed up 3 different times on top of that our waitress didn t come back to refill pop or water or check on us. Our app came with the meal when we asked for it before. My aunt asked for no seasoning on the fries and they gave her seasoning. Ordered raspberry sorbet for dessert and was brought mango instead. No sorrys or apologies and was charged for everything still on our bill! dont recommend .

May 23, 2024

I ordered a chickpea stew for dinner and the waitress asked me if I would like to add tofu to it? The cost of the add-on tofu was not posted on the menu I read but I said why not. To my surprise, the waitress brought me a block of baked tofu as a side dish and charged me CA 16 (chickpea stew was CA 28). What a rip-off!

Had a multi-day stay at the IHG hotel with my family, had breakfast and dinner at the Azure restaurant. Wanted to personally thank Ms. Coco for the AMAZING service and hospitality, particularly in the times where my family went while I was busy with work at the convention center and couldnt join them. She treated them as if they were her own family. Im extremely thankful for this, as being far from them was difficult enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The experience I had with my 4 friends last night at Azure was so special. Our server Amy provided exceptional service that was quite literally incomparable to restaurants of similar caliber. She went above and beyond to ensure our drinks were refreshed, she made amazing menu recommendations, engaged in playful and professional banter ensured all our food arrived in a timely manner and at the same time ( I highly recommend the lychee martini and margarita pizza). My friends were celebrating the completion of grad school and Amy surprised them with a beautiful dessert.

Do not go by the menu online , they do not honor it , I was told its not updated and the prices online on average are $10.00 cheaper , the food is way over price for the portions you get . For a restaurant your menu should be the same online has in person, very disappointed in that .

We came here for Winterlicious and everything was great. We were wondering why did we just discover this place now when we have worked downtown all our lives. The beef short ribs was amazing and the beef was so tender and tasty. Others in the party had salmon and that was good too. We asked for additional salsa and the staff gladly obliged. We ll definitely be back either for Summerlicious or just to check out their regular menu. Kudos to the chef and our server John and his team. Friendly staff and the ambience was perfect!

We stopped in after the Canadian Auto show. Thw restaurant and food were fantastic. The service we received was probably the worst we have ever had. We had to ask for water with water glasses on the table when we were sat. Every staff member walked by iur table numerous times after we finished iur meals and nobody cleared our tables.it took about 15 minutes to get our drinks and only 10 for our meals. We were never asked if we wanted drink refills. Returning will not likely be happening.

Had dinner here after going to the car show. Food was great. Service was terrible. No drink refills, no water brought for the water glasses on the table. Felt rushed. My partner and I ordered drinks to start but she kept coming over wanting us to order food. Drinks came, and food came even faster. Great. But no refills. I wanted wine with my steak but she never returned (someone else ran the food). I wanted an after dinner drink and dessert. Sat with my empty plate in front of me for at least 15 minutes. Finally the manager came and asked if we wanted anything. I told her I was going to get a drink and dessert but instead Ill get the bill. Was hoping for much better. Im a server/bartender and never not tip. This time I did not tip. I get how you can get weeded but I never saw our server. But when I did she was rushing, not just us, but other tables. Retraining may be in order. Edited to add: pretty sure I have food poisoning from there. Definitely wont be returning.

Located at the downtown core, this restaurant is right inside the intercontinental hotel. The overall theme is was kinda dark, with modern furniture and very high ceilings. The service was good with our server paying very close attention to us and we appreciated that. We went as part of the Winterlicious program going on now and we had a three course meal for $55 per person (drinks not included). All the options we had were honestly fantastic and we had no issues with anything that we ordered at all. I d recommend!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Azure restaurant and had an amazing experience. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the exceptional service provided by our server, Coco, and manager Alexandra. They were both incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our meal, and made sure that every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish that we tried. I don t usually order a burger while dining out but Alexandra recommended it and it really was the best burger I ever had. (The chef even came out to ask us how everything was tasting!) We had a fantastic time at Azure, and as a matter of fact, we were so engrossed in the experience that we ended up missing the show that we had tickets for at The Royal Alexandra Theatre.

Just celebrated our first year in Toronto at this place!Went all out with three-course meals and a couple of drinks each. The portions are Generous. Im now obsessed with their kale salad with granola - so good its got me trying to recreate it at home! Tried both beef and salmon - tough to pick a fave but the beef might just edge it. The cheesecake is the Game changer. The staff were amazing - they even let me switch my white wine after tasting, and surprised us with two complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate our milestone! Feeling so grateful for all the lovely people weve met on our journey here. This meal just added another sweet memory to our Toronto story.

I stopped in here after a conference and enjoyed my experience for the most part. The bar tender was friendly, and they carried a few flying monkey ipas, which I appreciated. However, I ordered the chicken satay skewers, and while they were quite tasty, I was pretty shocked at how small a portion of chicken it was. Im not a complainer at all, but I was actually so surprised with the tiny skewers that I had to ask the bar tender if this was a normal portion. He confirmed it was. The slaw that came with enjoyable, so that somewhat made up for the lack of meat on the skewers. Was still expecting to get a bit more food for $18.

Stopped in for a bite before Leafs game. Nice atmosphere but disappointing food. Ordered the Garlic & Herb Roast Chicken Club. Not what I expected to say the least. Three slices of the driest, thinnest pieces of chicken breast on a small bun (not toast). Could have been a great sandwich with even a half chicken breast with the toppings they had. I know its Toronto, but for $26 they could do a heck of a lot better. Lots of other options in the area. Pop was flat, service was so-so. Id say keep walking and grab a pre-game meal elsewhere

December 23, 2022

Located inside a prestigious hotel, the ambience is a bit sterile, modern but it lacks a more trendy scene, a very corporate ambience. Staff is friendly and polite, no comments there. My reason for this score is due to their lack of vegan options or substitutions on the menu; in this day and age and located in the heart of downtown Toronto not having at least one vegan option is unacceptable, especially a restaurant of their caliber/ quality. I really hope management takes this into consideration and I look forward to better upgrades upony next visit. In the pictures, the only breakfast I could eat and they ended up putting butter on the toast so did not eat that. Dinner has no options at all, had to Uber food during my stay. For non-vegans, perhaps the menu and food is good

Before starting - I want to stress that there are no individual qualms with the staff as they seemed to be occupied by a guest who seemed extremely intoxicated on some kind of drug. However, I can genuinely say our family has never been more disappointed by a meal. At almost $400 for five people, youre expecting an experience, but nothing about the evening was memorable and we found ourselves wishing we had just gone to the Scaddabush across the road. The pictures are incredibly misleading and spoke to an ambience that just wasnt felt. It was quieter than a morgue and rather than being seated near the window as requested in the booking, we were sat in the centre of the room. I had asked for the salmon and was somehow brought a steak. We were all wondering if the waitress heard same though Ill say not to cause further fuss in the distracted environment with the intoxicated man, we decided not to raise the issue and thats on us. The steak gravy was watery and could have been from a package, the aioli seemed like mayo mixed with garlic powder and once again. My sisters chicken was incredibly dry and we all ended up prioritizing the fries. Again, at almost $400, youre expecting a different level of food and service, but there was not a single thing that was memorable about the experience at Azure.

Was there for Canada Day weekend, very poor staffing. Food is verry overpriced for the quality. 6$ coffee, $6 juice. Had to ask for water, halfway into our meal I went looking for some. I will never go back and will not promote it.

Food was pricey which was to be expected, but with the limited menu we figured the food would be made well. Everything ordered was very mediocre, something you would expect from a pre made grab and go section of the grocery store. Service was great, everything came out quickly. Convenient for guests staying at the hotel. Just disappointed in the quality of the food.

Tamica was the best. I lived her friendly and professional disposition. The food was good, service was excellent. This has nothing to do with Tamica and her radiant smile and service..when people are dining and someone is stll eating, leave an empty setting on the table..the one who is still eating will not feel like they are dining alone and will not feel rushed..afterall you are a fine restaurant!

Great spot for a well crafted cocktail and attentive service. A bit of a hidden gem if youre seeking an impromptu spot for after work drinks with colleagues in the relative downtown area. They always seem has room to accomodate a small group, the cocktails and wine list have all of the crowd pleasers, and the ambiance is excellent.

Delicious food and beautiful ambiance. 5 stars. The calamari and sweet potato fries were the best Ive had in this city. Enjoyed my birthday here. Please lower the prices of your mocktails. Virgin drinks should not be costing $11 per glass. Thats insane. Even the server agreed and stated he would pass it up to the owners. It was quite embarrassing and an awkward conversation to be had but it was well needed. We still tipped after all that. Thanks for having me here for my birthday. I loved the kind touch with the desserts. It was a work of art. I will try to post the pictures when I have some time. All the best!

Food - 2/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 3/5 Underwhelming to say the least. If you are looking for good food, and can leave the hotel lobby - be adventurous! It felt like a crime to eat at this restaurant with all the delicious restaurants within walking distance.

Apparently it s true they don t serve brown customers. Awful awful service, will never return.

December 23, 2019

Food was awful. We ordered the Seared Tuna Tacos, Chorizo and Andouille Flat Bread and Dill Salmon. The tuna was so bland tasting we couldn t finish it and the pizza was luke warm and tasted like the stuff you get from a grocery store. We were so upset that by the time the salmon came around, we had had enough. We tried one bite and left it; bland just like the tuna. They had asked if we enjoyed the first half of the meal, to which we replied it was very one note, not that good and while she offered another dish, we ended up paying full price. You d think because we left a taco, almost all of the dill and some of the pizza, the server might of clued in we early did not enjoy our meal but that was not the case. We paid almost $150 (full price even for the tacos which they knew we highly disliked) for our meal (3 drinks included) and I m infuriated at myself for doing so. I have no problem spending money on good food but this was the worst meal I ve ever had out.

A slightly above average hotel restaurant. Had dinner with some colleagues and the food is decent enough. Nothing particularly creative or interesting but the food was capably done. Service was fine. Our server was nice enough but sometimes we had to ask twice for drinks, and they also made some mistakes with our food order. I would come back for convenience, but wouldnt go out of my way to eat here.

Azure offers an intimate and refined venue for casual conversations over drinks. The drinks menu is neither too expansive, nor too limited. The cheese platter I ordered was simple, but marvelous. I did, however, feel that the prices were unnecessarily steep. That said, I enjoyed my experience and am likely to return. The quality of the service made up for any minor complaints I had.

Decent restaurant. We tried their crab and avocado parfait and cauliflower soup as a starter. The parfait was perfect. The soup was on the heavier side. The salmon entree was well cooked. The vegetable sides that came with the salmon were inedible. Finally, finished it off with apple pie cheesecake. Again, too rich and heavy for my liking. The rating would have been higher if not for the server. His face fell when we refused to order drinks. He must have decided that his time would be better spent looking after patrons who were spending more $$ by ordering drinks, that he only came to our table every half an hour or so. No refilling of water. Every course took a long time to come. No apologies. Lastly, he handed us the debit machine asking us to input the subtotal numbers ourselves. That tells me a bit about the attitude that is held in there.

mangent problem.... the manager told us we were wrong when we told him apiece of the lettuce was rotten, we said okay paid and left and went across the street to scaddabush. We were sitting halfway through are new meal looked up to find the manager standing there in are new restraunt, He is now telling us we where right and shouldnt of paid for anything offering us cash in hand it was a nice gesture but very uncomfortable and felt we now had to leave scaddabush to . Asides from that the food is really really good and is beyond amazing .

It has very nice decor, and when you walk in, it seems very nice. However, after taking our order the waitress completely disappeared. There were literally 15 people in the entire place. The steak we ordered was cooked wrong, and honestly inedible. My 6 yr old daughter had mini burgers that were borderline burnt. I couldn t find the waitress at all. She was constantly missing for long periods of time. The table beside us was angry about it as well. I ended up sitting there alone for 15 minutes to pay the bill because my wife and daughter couldn t stand it anymore and wanted to go back to the room.

I was here for a recent conference at Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It is very conveniently situated next to the Convention Centre.
