The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment.

    Went there for my wife's 40th birthday. The waiter Robert as well as the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable and memorable. We started with a few a la carte sushi choices, moved onto the Canadian rib eye steak which was very tender and finished off with more sushi and wine as well as desert. Sushi was better than most places where the majority of the pieces are stuffed with rice. Definately worth it for special occasions. Thank you again. Cheers!

    Wonderful experience. We had the chefs tasting menu and everything was outstanding. Service was top notch and the cocktails were delicious. I had my 7 week old with me and a member of the Richmond Station team approached me on my way to the washroom to ask if I needed a place to change her. So very kind. We look forward to returning!

    A great choice for a pre-show meal. They were very considerate of our timing, and the food was remarkable. The drinks were priced steeply and uniformly, but that you can get elsewhere.

    We went to see the Nutcracker ballet and then ate at Woods. It was a romantic end to a wonderful day. The decor of the restaurant creates a wonderful ambience. The service is top notch. You can tell that there is a lot of training for the assistant servers and professional servers. It is also nice to have a menu with unique choices of Canadian cuisine. Bravo!
