- Richmond Station
Chef's table facing an open kitchen with a New Canadian repertoire. Custom tasting menu, accommodating a smattering of non-dairy, gluten-free and vegan dietary restrictions, each dish coming as a surprise based on the chef's judgment. The start of a leisurely 3-hour family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday. (Richmond Station, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180910 - Richmond Station
Three or four cooks in front of the grill, and we saw at least four others dressed in whites. Orders printed out on long paper tape were called out and fired. The pace picked up after two hours into our tasting menu service, as the first seating of customers peaked on main courses. Watching an experience team in practice was a unique experience in the family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday.

Charcuterie platter served through to the chef's table through a window open to the kitchen. The second dish, following an amuse-bouche of battered oyster mushrooms, followed by salad. Well-paced 3-hour family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday. (Richmond Station, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180910 - Richmond Station
Grill chief in open kitchen topping salmon roe onto salmon filets, as fourth on a custom tasting menu. Five orders similarly plated, and the sixth a vegan variation. Starting to get full in the 3-hour family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday. (Richmond Station, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180910 - Richmond Station
Attentive server describing each dish as it's placed before us, as we're surprised. A list of allergies was sent in advance, and then preferences were discussed with each of the dinner guests. She said they enjoy the challenge of creativity. In the background the pastry chef was also managing the oven, warming up those sitting towards the west side of the 3-hour family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday.

Fifth course into the custom tasting menu, rare beef tenderloin as another surprise dish. Our server asked if we were getting full, and we asked for bags for leftovers. About 2.5 hours into the 3-hour family celebration of RDI's 25th birthday. (Richmond Station, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180910 - Richmond Station
Lit birthday candle for RDI's 25th birthday, on top of sesame cracker crumble, blueberry pearls and coconut sorbet. With a family of multiple bloggers, smartphone cameras came out. (Richmond Station, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180910
