    Fried goat cheese and honey

    Delicious food in perfect portions! We did the 3-course meal with appetizers, main and dessert. The fried tofu and fried goat cheese with honey were my favorites!

    Bar area

    Went here for BF's birthday. Acoustics I. The Attic make conversations loud. The folks at the bar talking to the bartender were really loud. We ordered the Riblwrs and Mussels for Appetizers and the braised short rib and BC LingCod. All were generous portions and delicious. Service was a bit slow as there was only one service. Overall 3 stars because of the echo chamber in The Attic. Otherwise 4 stars for food.

    The service here was friendly and fast and the restaurant was pretty quiet when we went. The pizza was alright, I really enjoyed the crust on it. All together it was a pleasant time.

    This place was highly recommended and it seems super popular so take this with a grain of salt I know that being from the states the flavors I like don't always extend to other places and you'll see this in most of my reviews of restaurants around the area and that's that all the food tasted good I just felt it was all quite a bit under seasoned. The servers were fantastic and the atmosphere was great.

    pork shoulder pasta
    Sarah K.

    The food here was amazing! Since it is in the village it was hard to find while driving in the rain but we made it just in time before they gave up our reservation. That is our fault but luckily we still held onto the table. I was so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Our waitress was also amazing. Super attentive and gave us great recommendations. The pork shoulder pasta is creamy with juicy pork meat that pairs well together. The red curry mussels were shared as an appetizer and we drank every last bit. We even ordered french fries to dip them in. The fries (no picture) are perfectly sized and super crispy. Their other side options were mashed potatoes or veggies and honestly they were all great. To finish off the night we shared a blueberry cheesecake and it was the perfect end to this lovely dinning experience. **also not pictured by the bison and salmon were also amazing choices. I did not return but the party I was with went back the next day to get bison again.*** 10/10 If ever in the whistler area for a few days, I would return.

    Garlic chili prawns

    4.5 stars We weren't able to get a reservation so we arrived at the restaurant right at opening, and there was already a line formed outside! They state that they keep 1/3 of the restaurant available to walk-ins, so we were able to get a seat at the bar. We ordered off the prix fixe menu. The best dishes were the appetizers - the fried chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside, and the chili prawns had excellent flavor. The main dishes were HUGE portions, and reminded me of catered wedding dishes. The chocolate brownie dessert was great, although they had to bring out this dish 3 times before finally getting it right (without nuts due to an allergy). I would skip the chocolate mousse and raspberry sorbet - the mousse tasted more like supermarket pudding. The cocktails (and the bartender) were fantastic - probably if I were to come back, I would just get drinks at the bar and skip the food.

The…read morefour-course meal was presented beautifully, and the staff provided some of the best service I've ever experienced. That part really cannot be stressed enough. The sourdough bread was excellent, the salad and soup of the day were both good, and dessert was excellent. I had planned to add scallops to my risotto based on the server's suggestion, but they were out of scallops, so I added prawns instead, which were very good. The only reason this is more of a 4.5-star experience for me is the noise level. The acoustics made the restaurant very, very loud, and we could hardly talk during our meal. I found myself eager to finish simply so we could get out of the noise. Everything else was wonderful, and I will click 5 stars because the food, presentation, and service absolutely deserve it. Sadly, I'm not likely to return because of the loud environment, but for guests who aren't bothered by noise, Wild Blue offers a truly lovely dining experience.

The inside looked very cool in a completely different way. It was cozy but modern, not in a rustic way. I can imagine how nice it would be in winter! 2. Food & Drink: literally no notes. Love how the cocktails are organized by flavor profile. My husband and I loved what we ordered. We also loved all the food we ordered, but the seafood tower is a must have, as well as the chocolate lava cake! 3. Service: top notch! Our server gave us great recommendations, and was attentive without rushing us. We were celebrating our anniversary and the manager brought out glasses of champagne for us. Would highly recommend for a special occasion!

This place has always felt like one of those "special occasion only" restaurants that are usually out of reach. The special menu was such a steal and so wonderful!!! Every course came out looking delightful, from the bright, delicate starters to the beautifully cooked mains to desserts that made us slow down just to savor the moment. I didn't want the food to stop flowing. Service was warm without being stuffy, the vibe was lively but still intimate, and the whole night felt like we'd accidentally unlocked a VIP experience. If you've ever walked past Araxi thinking "maybe someday," this is your sign. Go when they're running the special during spring ski season!

Araxi did not disappoint, though I'm disappointed in myself for missing their apres deal with a discounted fondue using cave aged gruyere! Definitely reserve ahead of time during peak season. They start you with fresh herbed ciabatta and sourdough with olive oil and butter, and both breads were great but especially so for our hungry kids. They had the most perfectly sharpened quality colored pencils and a coloring/activity sheet for the kids, which was much appreciated! Drinks: - The Cure: talisker 10, pineapple, mezcal float - Fig Jam: fig infused mezcal, apple cider, fig jam, spices - great to start They also had a good wine list, and they even had some local wines by the half bottle, which was a nice option, so we got a local Pinot. Food: - Oysters: island tide and kusshi, served with traditional mignonette and horseradish - Ricotta gnocchi: with wild mushrooms, cheesy lemon fonduta, crispy sage - a smaller portion but good for sharing as an appetizer - Pacific crab and matane shrimp cake: no fillers, perfectly seared, with a great local pear and avocado salsa verde - Seared scallops: perfectly seated, with local sunchokes, crispy prosciutto, grilled bok choy, xharred pepper romesco - Ora king salmon: similar to the kids' one but dressed up, with roasted beats, beet and ginger salsa, goat cheese arancini - House made bucatini: mentaiko style with spicy cod roe, humobldt squid, breadcrumbs. This had a nice kick, and the pasta texture was great - Kids' fish: seared salmon with risotto and bok choy - a generous portion of perfectly seared salmon! Dessert: - Valrhona chocolate fondant: warm gooey chocolate cake with tahitian vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate crisps Service was great and very kid friendly (including copper mule cups for their water!). We ordered a lot of food for 2 adults and 2 young kids, but everything was so great - every item was a hit. There's a reason why we keep coming back to Araxi!

My husband and I were were in Whistler for the weekend to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and decided on going to the Keg to get some good steak. We had an amazing time in all the Kegs we have ever visited. We mentioned it was a special anniversary on the online reservation and requested a special table near a nicer part of the restaurant. When we arrived and until the end of the evening, there was no mention at all of our anniversary and not even a congrats. Worse, we got the worse table in the area right near the bar...ugh! The steak was bland and veggies were undercooked covered in salt. We have been to the Kegs in Vancouver and they are all completely opposite in service and food quality. Every time we do a celebration at the Keg, we are welcomed and made to feel special and the service is outstanding. Nope not in Whistler. Our entire experience was disappointing and we felt like we had wasted our anniversary at this Keg. We normally get a dessert but after finishing our dinner, we were ready to get the heck out of here asap! Seriously this is the worse Keg in the whole of BC.... We will never ever be back and we do not recommend anyone going here. It really sucks!
