With fall quickly approaching, I’m reminiscing about the great meals I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying this summer, which included dinner at Azure, the restaurant of the Intercontinental Toronto hotel on Front street. Azure kindly invited me to visit for dinner and to try out their special summer drink, a boozy Watermelon Margarita. One thing I always miss about the warm weather is sipping drinks out on the patio, the fruitier, the better. Disclaimer: All food and drinks reviewed below were provided complimentary.
