I had a reservation at Richmond Station when it first opened and cancelled. I got there for lunch today and kicked myself for waiting so long. I arrived early thanks to unpredictable TO traffic. I was seated right away to await my dining companion. I had a great table where I had a view of the pass and the brigade just starting service. They worked together so effortlessly I knew I was in for a great meal.
I started with a pear and ?? soup with smoked chili oil. It was well balanced and silky smooth. Delicious.
I had the lunch special which was schnitzel with horseradish cream and roasted squash. It had a perfectly crisp crust and was tender. My only minor complaint was it was served on a board which I could never seem to balance a knife and fork on.
The service was attentive and well timed. I never felt rushed despite the full dining room.
I can't wait to go back to try the smoked trout!
