   We really enjoyed an anniversary dinner at Azura. Very unassuming exterior which I had walked past many times and hadn’t realized a fine dining establishment had opened up on the Danforth. The service is exceptional from the moment you walk in. You are greeted by name by several staff members. They take your coat and seat you at a candle lit table. We did the 11 course tasting and wine matching. Very creative and beautifully presented food. Both the wait staff and the sommelier were terrific. Very pleased that the portions are scaled to the number of courses. We were certainly amply fed, but not stuffed and were able to enjoy every morsel vs. leaving food on the plate as the courses progressed, as we have found with some tasting menus where there is more food, but lacking in the gourmet touch. The wine selection was outstanding. The interior is attractive but nothing special, which is fine as your attention is definitely on the food. Very comfortable, well spaced tables, soft lighting, nice playlist, noise volume moderate to low, so easy to converse. An average splurge without wine matching, but well worth the big splurge to do the pairing. Look forward to returning.

   Went with my foody friend for the 7 course blind tasting menu with the wine pairing. Absolutely fantastic evening. So interesting and creative. Food presentation was very unique, flavour and food quality outstanding, and wine paring perfect. Service was impeccable. It's a cozy room with great background music. Chef Adam Ryan and Sommelier Josh Mott really are impressive and I will definitely be returning. My new fave Danforth spot!

   Josh, our server, was amazing, as well as all the other waitstaff. They were so kind and accommodating about my dietary restrictions. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Every bite was so different and interesting! The drinks package is a lot of alcohol, but it was very worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a very special night out!

   I visited Azura for the 11-course tasting menu yesterday. The ambience was lovely, and our sommelier was amazing. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but some dishes were too salty for my personal taste. Unfortunately, one of the first canapé dishes, a sea bream, contained a large Y-shaped bone. Our server took it to the chef and explained that the fish wasn’t deboned properly. She returned to apologize and mentioned they would “do something for us.” However, she stopped serving us halfway through, and the sommelier was the one that served us for the second half. I didn’t notice any follow-up or acknowledgment of the issue, which left me feeling a bit disappointed.

   An inventive 11 course tasting menu which encircled the Mediterranean with wine pairings that really worked. One of our guests has an intolerance to cow's milk and they were able to accommodate. The six of us rated it a 10 out of 10 and will return Service was superb, each course and wine were described on serving so that we could identify the various flavours. Table time was 4 hours. Could have been a bit shorter but we savored each bite and sip

   Went for my girlfriend's birthday and we really had a wonderful experience. It was a bold choice but in the end, its restaurants like this that makes us want to become foodies! The service was impeccable, and I am very grateful for the attention to detail of all the staff. A handmade (beautifully handwritten btw) birthday card was waiting for us at our table, and the rythmic and welcoming presence of the service team really brought a lot to the experience. Our favorites dish were the Albacore tuna kibbeh tart and the Iberico prok secreto and smoked crabapple. Our second favorites were the Bergamot panna cotta wich was from another world and the BC spot prawn paella. Overall, the 11 courses were more than enough (maybe a bit much). As for the cocktail, the gin tonic was great and their take on the old-fashioned was a bit sweet to my liking, but my girlfriend loved it ;) *Great deco and plating! Being a potter I was wondering all night where those pots and plates were coming from. Thank you!
