| - Absolutely awesome! Delicious, fresh, creative, superb service and awesomeness packed into a lovely restaurant! Compliments to the team!
Sister wanted to visit this place since she's only in town for a week. Read through a few reviews and brought the family there.
Upon recommendation, I ordered the burger. Not often do you see a restaurant who's confident enough to serve their burgers not charcoaled all the way through. You know how confident Richmond Station is about the freshness and quality of their meat. The burger was cooked just right, the meat didn't need to be charcoaled. I personally enjoyed having the core of the burger a bit on the rare side and they did exactly that! The caramelized onion, a hint of sweetness with the richness of cheese and their sauce - was the best combination! When they say they are able to meet your diet restrictions, they mean it! I asked for lettuce wrapped - they came up with an even better idea. Got creative and came up with lettuce buns! Best presentation ever!
At where we sat, close to the kitchen in a small private area. We get to see their stock of meats, oil, nuts, etc. was extremely impressed of the type of oil they use. Everything natural and nothing processed. I was enjoying my food with confident! As Dr. Cate would say, she would rather smoke a cigarette than to eat anything done up with processed vegetable/plant based oil (quote "liquid age/death in a bottle"). It also takes a good chef to know how to compliment food with the oil they use, each natural oil has its own flavour. Compliments to the chef again! Because the oil used in the salad was amazing!
Service was amazing, our server was very professional and came by often to ensure we were comfortable. I really appreciate he came over to ensure my parents had a constant fill of hot water. My sister broke a glass due to her expressive hands when talking... server came quickly to clear out the area. As we felt bad, the server was very nice, joked with us and ensuring us everything was okay.
Overall, Richmond Station was great! Pricing is reasonable, in fact - I think for the quality of food to service, it's actually extremely good. Will definitely return and recommend!
