Richmond Station

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a date night dinner here and understood very quickly why Richmond Station is a popular destination downtown. We had an exceptional dining experience sitting by the kitchen bar where we could watch the chefs cook and plate meals for the whole restaurant. The attention to detail and the presentation of each dish combined with the lively atmosphere makes for a memorable fine dining experience. We had great conversations with other couples around us and felt like we were in our own bubble of fun - would recommend this to anybody looking for an elevated meal or meal for a special occasion.

I got the 7-course tasting menu for an anniversary dinner and it was memorable and delicious! Highlights were the koginut squash, charcoal grilled arctic char, and caramel apple "cheesecake" - which were MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD. Like, on the verge of tearing up from happiness good. Portion sizes were good, we were both full at the end. We're so grateful for the amazing experience and can't wait to go back to try their regular menu!

I had a fantastic dinner, we opted for the chef’s menu. The experience was delightful, with each dish beautifully showcasing a fall theme. The squash puree and pumpkin pie dessert were spot on, perfectly seasonal and delicious. The canapés at the start were adorable, and the foie gras was an unexpected highlight, tasting almost like dessert without any strong or off-putting flavors. It was a pleasant surprise! Overall, it was a very filling meal, and we enjoyed every bite.

If you're looking to treat someone you care about for a fancy dining experience you can't go wrong with this spot. I took my wife here for her birthday and booked the chef's viewing table, it was a fun experience seeing the dishes prepared in front of you. The food is amazing, I've gotta say the burger was the highlight of the meal. The duck Fettuccini was really good and so was the sharing dish. Drinks wise the mocktails weren't anything special though. I will say a lot of people seem to be disappointed in the tasting menu, I'd recommend you just get a dish you'll enjoy. It's decently portioned and will fill you up. Service is amazing, no issues very helpful. Washrooms are clean, tip is included in the price so it's on the pricier side. All in all an amazing time and well deserving of 5 stars.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at **Richmond Station**, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and we had the chance to try five different "shares" plates, which are tapas-style dishes perfect for sharing. Each plate was full of flavor and beautifully prepared – not a single miss! The service was also exceptional. Our waiter, Josh, was amazing, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The entire staff had a warm and positive approach, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I will definitely be going back. One tip: **make sure to reserve a table** as this place is popular, and for good reason!

I tried Richmond Station for lunch and ordered the burger. I really liked that they cook it to temperature, which means the ground beef is freshly ground in-house. They serve it medium rare, which might be a bit adventurous for some, but I enjoyed it. The rosemary fries were great, accompanied by a nice dill aioli. The service was excellent, and the decor was stylish. A nice little surprise was that the menu price includes gratuity, which makes the experience even better. I look forward to coming back.

Went with colleagues to dine in. Tried variety of dishes. Discussed with colleagues after, sharing collective feedback. Pros: 1. Salmon main dish tasted delicious. Plus accommodated to add extra protein as requested which was not on the menu. 2. Hot sauce was provided on request 3. Option of vegan dessert upon request 4. Waitress was very nice and accommodating 5. Washrooms are well maintained and clean. Cons: 1. Saw mouse running from the kitchen. Huge no no so that affected main rating. Because of that honestly I wanted to give 1 star as I find it unacceptable for restaurant that level. 3. Water refill was not happening as often as needed 4. No salt and pepper on the table 5. Even though place was half empty we waited for food for very long 6. Only one out of 4 desserts tasted good , other ones did not feel right. I think they overcomplicated desserts , if they went with simpler options and more traditional recipes it would have been better. For example Rum baba tasted pretty bad like it was citrusy, sour and a bit sweet and had very strange after taste. 7. Portions are incredibly small I left hungry 8. No option of beef steak , duck was not on the menu either even though I saw it on the website 9. Some of staff members on the kitchen do not wear gloves. 10. Orders were messed up, one of colleagues ordered rare beef and another one ordered well done and those got messed up. Overall I think it does not worth visiting as for what I have tried and observed it is overpriced. You can taste way better food and have wider variety of dishes at other places. Plus for that price I would not want to see mouse in the restaurant.

Richmond Station delivers an exceptional dining experience with delicious food and impeccable dish presentation, which I rate a 10. The restaurant offers a good wine selection and features a special every day, adding variety to each visit. A delightful touch is the small chocolate they give you with the check. During our visit, I had the duck, which was cooked perfectly, while my wife had the suckling pig and absolutely loved it. For an appetizer, we tried the crudo, which was fresh and flavorful, though I wished it had been a bit spicier. Overall, Richmond Station provided a great dining experience with outstanding food, presentation, and service.
