It was my first time at Richmond station and also celebrated my birthday here. It was so delicious! Every dish was cooked with care and I usually don't order chicken at a restaurant but my chicken dish was cooked perfectly. It was so flavorful and the chicken was so moist! Shoutout to whoever drew my birthday card, it was so sweet and a great touch! It was a picture of a toast celebrating, super cute card. We also chose the olive oil cake and it was absolutely divine. I really respect this restaurant's policy of hospitality included. They pay their staff fair wages which is why they charge the price that they do for every dish on the menu. There's no tipping required. I think that's a great policy and more restaurants should get on board with that. Thanks Richmond Station for making my birthday so special! Keep doing what you're doing!
We came here for an anniversary dinner, and they gave us a very cute card. This is restaurant does not require tipping as all costs are already included in each menu item. This did not affect the level of service at all, as our waitress was attentive and she kept checking in with us throughout the meal. The food was very delicious, especially the duck breast! Absolutely delicious and perfectly made. I would definitely be coming back.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant in a tipping culture that doesn’t accept tips while still providing excellent service. We came here to celebrate my mom’s birthday and chose the tasting menu. To start, we were served a small bite of salmon tartare, which was quite flavorful. The scallop appetizer was refreshing, while the asparagus course felt a little underwhelming as a standalone dish. The two main courses were the highlights. The wild Quebec bass was fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Although it came with a butter-based sauce, it wasn’t heavy at all and paired perfectly with the bread. For dessert, the first one was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ice cream was quite tasty. The six-course tasting menu was just the right amount for the two of us, although it might be a little small for bigger appetites.
I had dinner here late after flying in from NYC. Excellent cocktail, food, and service. I had the shrimp appetizer and the duck. Both were excellent. So good that I came back a few days later for the tasting menu. The tasting menu was very good, but not on par with the tasting menus at Michelin Star restaurants in Toronto. It was still very good with a lot of local, seasonal dishes. The wine pairing was also very good.
Richmond Station is a gem. Went in for early dinner and came away genuinely impressed. Service was great from start to finish, and the food delivered across the board. The burger is the star here - absolutely delicious, and worth the trip on its own. The salad was fresh, the fries were excellent, and the fried mushrooms were solid. My colleague ordered the fish and raved about it. Drinks were beautifully presented, and the ambiance strikes a nice chilled-out vibe that works for both a quick business lunch and something more relaxed. Two small critiques: the desserts were a bit lackluster compared to the quality of the rest of the meal, and I wish the menu was slightly larger, there's clearly talent in that kitchen and I'd love to see it stretched a bit further. Overall though, a great spot with outstanding execution. That burger alone earns my highest recommendation.
