    We came here during happy hours. I have to do a shout out to Brianne who was our server. She went over and above getting us a table. We came in and due to the staff shortage, she was the only server working. Table seating was very limited. My friend ate at the Cure multiple times and she went up to her. She let us sit down without a reservation. This was very nice of her. B an I ordered off of the happy hour menu: a pitcher of mojito to share, Soy ginger wings and bbq wings and calamari. I really liked the soy ginger wings. It was very flavorful. The wings came with house made ranch sauce. This restaurant is located inside Nita Lake Lodge. We had a patio seating and the view was very gorgeous. We sat in front of the lake. It was super beautiful. Cure only opens after 2 pm. In the morning the restaurant becomes Aora. We will definitely be back to try out other items. We definitely had a great time eating at this restaurant. They have a very good Happy Hour selection. I highly recommend trying this place out. Great service. Great food.

    Excellent view and delicious food, what more can you ask for? The mushroom flatbread was delicious.

    Delicious food and great service! The bloody caesar and the poutine were top notch. See Hailey while you are there, she is fantastic!

    Great lunch on the patio today. Hubby had a Draft Beer & the Radler, I had an Aperol Spritz (very good) Tuna Poke Bowl was very good, lots of flavour. Hubby loved the Crispy Chicken Sandwich & Fries. Loved the view as well! Our server was Leah - she was great at social distancing. Lovely lunch all around!

    Portobello mushroom burger and salad . Really good veggie option

    A couple visits to the Cure lounge now on those nights that we didn't have the energy to leave the Nita. I always love a hotel lounge. Cure doesn't disappoint. You can sit by the fire ( indoors and outdoors), the bar, comfy couches, tables or booths around the edge of the room. On our last visit the two of us were able to share a couch right in front of the giant tv to watch some NHL playoffs and it felt like we were in our living room. So cozy and relaxed. The sangria that was on special was yum yum. They have a decent wine and beer list and the bar looks stacked. We shared buttermilk fried chicken ( it was more like chicken fingers), kale and field green salad and margherita flatbread. We ate it all. This isn't 5 star food but it is fresh and fast and tasty. Last time I had a portobello mushroom burger and loved it. I have dined here with my parents and sister and it was absolutely suitable for families of all ages. If I was staying in the village I am not sure I would go out of my way to come here but if you are staying in Creekside it's a good call. And I will always stop in for a drink at least on my bike ride on the valley trail.

    Chicken wings (honey garlic sauce)
    Kathy W.

    My husband and I dropped in because we were staying in the hotel and wanted a light dinner. It's a good thing we weren't that hungry. He ordered the chicken wings on the Tuesday special -- $15 -- and I ordered the poke dish. It was $26 but I figured the local salmon would be delicious. The wings were standard bar food and tasty with the honey garlic sauce. But the poke bowl? It had less than an ounce of salmon in it. It was, truly, an appetizer portion. But the worst part? It was swimming in spicy mayo, destroying every other flavor. When I brought it up to our waiter, he brought us some ranch to dilute the spicy mayo. Really? That's the solution to a kitchen error? Just cover it with ranch and eat it? And the total before tip for those two dishes? $46. I cannot recommend this restaurant -- unless you're a big fan of spicy mayo or covering your food with ranch dressing.

    Located in the Nita Lake Lodge Cure delivers everything from great service, delicious food, hopping atmosphere at night and a relaxed ambiance. We had the pleasure of coming here everyday while staying at the Lodge. The small plates were amazing, and I cannot say enough great things about our bartender/server. She went out of her way to make us feel relaxed each and every day! Whether we came for happy hour, a quick snack or a late night drink each visit was just fantastic. The fireplace with couches in the middle of the lounge gives it a classy yet extremely relaxing touch! Thanks for making our stay memorable! #nitalake #cureforall

    Hands down, one of the best places we've eaten, ever. Yes. You read that right... Ever. My husband got the Cure Burger and I got the Grilled Cheese and Pear Sandwich with Tomato Soup. We both looked at each other with wide eyes the moment we took our first bites. Absolutely amazing. Every ingredient went with the others and made for a lovely lunch on a hot August day. Even better to eat our lunch outside on the patio watching the lake-goers. We will be back to Cure as soon as we make it back to Whistler.

    Cure Lounge and Patio is located in the Nita Lake Lodge. With views of the lake and a comfortable sitting arrangement for both drinks and snacks, Cure Lounge is a popular stop for visitors staying at the Lodge. We stopped by for Happy Hour and enjoyed our cocktails as well as the Bloody Caesar (Canada's version of the Bloody Mary) we later brought to our room. The Happy Hour snacks including the pita and hummus and the chips and dip were less impressive. The hummus was thick and chunky and the dip was super plain and the chips were no better than a decent bag of generic potato chips. Cure Lounge accepts credit cards, including American Express.

I think they would've been much better if I had thought to ask to hold off on salting the fries. Pricing is quite reasonable. Otherwise, ambience is very laid back, not too loud at lunchtime, and nice having the Olympic hockey game on. My server, Ellie, was totally nice AND efficient. Kudos for her! I would visit again.

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.

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!

The Den- supposedly their nice restaurant, is overpriced and served the same wooden utensils that we got on the plane from LAX--I've included a photo of the kale salad below-- $24.00. This wouldn't be so bad if we had expected an older motel. But for $14k for a week (a one bedroom suite and a 2 bedroom suite) this was a huge disappointment. The staff was very nice and apologetic- however I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a luxury experience or for services. This is more like a glorified motel.
