Service was quick and the food was so good! Everything on the plate was well balanced and complemented each other. When I go back to Whistler I will definitely come back! The ambiance was cozy and had dimly lighted setting. Toward the meal it did get pretty hot though. read more

The service was great-- very prompt but not over bearing. Their cocktails stole the show. Everything was detail oriented down to the day of the dead cocktail coming in a frozen glass. Their buttered snake cocktail is a must order-- it's outstanding. It's like drinking a warm apple pie even down to the buttered crust. The food was good with our favorite being their sable fish (a special). The atmosphere is charming but more casual than the level of food and drink they serve. read more

Service was good. The food was fresh but average in taste and preparation--nothing special or better than a decent home cook could prepare. We had asked to be seated away from the kitchen in the reservation and were seated at the table closest to the kitchen. It was very loud and did not add to the ambience. Be aware that this restaurant requires a taxi ride from the city center--Uber and Lyfft were not available. read more

Absolutely can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The ambiance, service, and food are all first class! I ordered the duck breast which was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully! Absolutely, the best duck that I've ever eaten! The deserts were over the top, as well. I ordered the pecan pie and it was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

If you're visiting Whistler, do yourself a favor and leave the village for one night -- absolutely worth it! Such a fun experience with incredible food from start to finish. We did the tasting menu and every course was amazing: lobster bisque, perfectly cooked sea scallops, a delicious seafood trio, filet, crème brûlée, and toffee cake. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The service and atmosphere made the evening even better. Definitely one of our favorite meals in the Whistler area! read more

Visiting Whistler for first time. Chose the Rimrock Cafe based on online ratings. Glad we did! Service was great. Sarah was fantastic. We started with lobster bisque and salads. They allow you to do half of each. The soup was as good as I've had and the mushroom salad was delicious. We then shared a half seafood appetizer. I really enjoyed the seared tuna and my wife loved the salmon. For main course she had the halibut which was very tasty. I had the seafood trio which was very good. We also got a side of the mushroom risotto. Every bite was very nice. We finished with 2 half desserts. The chocolate ganache almond cake and their signature sticky toffee pudding. Perfect way to end an excellent meal. Sarah even took the time to make a list of hikes and things we should see before we leave. Highly recommend! read more

First time being in Canada, came here for a work function. My partner was looking for a nice dinner restaurant, after doing research and reading reviews. This was his top pick. The place is nice and music was great. Our server was phenomenal and went above and beyond. He explained his faves on the menu. The way he described each item. Our friends and I couldn't decide what to get. I went with the lobster bisque (omg, lobster bisque out of this world, server said it was made from scratch. If you like lobster bisque you have to get it.), seared scallops, filet mignon and sticky toffee pudding. Best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had. Just make sure you save room for dessert. Hands down the best place to eat and I give it 10/10. I can't wait to come back again, the food was delicious. If you are deciding on the place, chose this one. You won't be disappointed at all. I really want to go back again and try other items on the menu. Most definitely making a trip back to Whistler. read more

We had an amazing evening at our favorite restaurant. The Rimrock Cafe never disappoints. The restaurant is warm and cozy, and the service is prompt, knowledgeable and welcoming. As one of our group summarized, "the Rimrock last night was out of this world!" Each dish was superb - we loved the appetizers: ceviche, spiced cauliflower, warm chèvre, and seared foie gras. Our entrees were incredible: wild salmon, roasted duck breast, ribeye and venison striploin. We shared sticky toffee pudding and the pecan tart for dessert. It was a delicious dinner and memorable evening! Fabulous! read more

I have been wanting to come to this restaurant that the local love for a very long time. It is located closer to Creekside so requires a drive from Whistler village. We had the opportunity to try it out during the fall special. The lobster bisque has a few lovely chucks of lobsters in it.. The ceviche was a fine balance between a lot of yummy seafood with a crispy tostada. Loved the Seafood trio. All three item have its own sauce that matches with the seafood. Lastly, the waiter was so good. So professional, personable, and knowledgeable. The place is quite cute and low key. We were by a fireplace... so lovely. The front entrance where the waiting area is also so cozy. Full of plants! Will definitely be back. read more

Reservations: Easy to make online! Make sure to book ahead of time Location: Tucked right off the highway, easy to get to if you're driving or taking a taxi. Only a few minutes from Whistler Village, but not walkable. Service: Exceptional! Very attentive, from check-in to wait staff and everyone in between. The courses were spaced out perfectly so we did not feel rushed and we had time to enjoy each dish as it came. Ambiance: Warm and quaint inside, plenty of seating. Tables are spaced nicely as to not feel too crowded. The fire was lovely and added to the rustic feel. What we ordered: DRINKS -- 1902 (Diplomatico Reserva 12 Year Rum, Angostura Bitters, Lime Coca Cola Foam) --Ruby Revenge (Port-Barrel-Aged Wallflower Gin, Limoncello, House-Made Rhubarb Cordial, Sparkling Wine) Both cocktails were delicious and tasted high quality. The flavors played well together and I loved the unique ingredients! FOOD We both had the 3-course Fall Special: Bread basket with butter-- I was partial to the freshly baked focaccia, but the baguette was nice as well **Lobster Bisque-- absolutely phenomenal. The lobster was fresh and flavorful, but not fishy at all. The texture was incredible, thinner than some other bisques which lent itself well to the dish as an appetizer. **Seafood Antipasto-- each of the four bite size features were unique and packed with flavor. My favorite was the stunning salmon tartare, but the albacore poke with sesame crisp, poached prawn, and smoked halibut brandade were all wonderful. **Seared Scallops-- cooked perfectly, highly recommend Mains: Rimrock Seafood Trio-- the seasonal preparation included salmon, prawns, and Tuna. Each of them were delicious and a generous portion. Roasted BC Halibut-- this melted in my mouth, great flavors that highlighted the fish Dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding-- we had to try this dessert staple of Rimrock and we were not disappointed at all. Pillowy and sweet, it was the cherry on top of an exceptional meal! read more

What an amazing discovery during our girl's weekend. Found on Yelp, truly one of the best dining experiences. The restaurant is a casual lodge vibe fun for a date or even a small birthday gathering. Service very friendly and attentive. Every dish was delicious. My favorite was the lamb on the mixed grill plate. The halibut special was also cooked and seasoned perfectly as was the accompanying risotto. Sticky Toffee Pudding is also an absolute must. Will definitely be back! read more

We have been to Rimrock a few times and this restaurant never fails to impress. The service and ambience are very upscale and our last dinner was no exception. We sat at the bar, which is a very unique and fun experience in itself. Adam was the nicest and most engaging bartender and we truly enjoyed chatting with him throughout the evening. We started with the oysters, which were very fresh, then moved onto the delicious Seared Scallops. But the real showstopper for me was the Lions Mane Steak and Frites. Wow, wow, wow! Every bite was a flavor explosion in my mouth. I've never truly experienced mushrooms in a way where I felt that I didn't miss any steak, but this was that dish. The treatment, seasoning, and sauces were so spot on that I truly had to savor every bite. We ended the meal with the Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart, which was to die for. read more

It's been a while since I've had such a pleasant experience dining out in Whistler. The Rimrock Cafe is exceptional, especially during the warmer seasons, when you get to dine on their patio. The service was outstanding and the food just tasted that much better when you're not in the gloom and doom of the wintertime. Despite having come under new ownership recently, the experience still remains solid and warrants a visit. 100% recommend to check them out, their specials, and most importantly their outdoor dining patio. Portions are generous you will not leave wanting for more. Also, special kudos to our waiter who recommended an excellent wine pairing with our meal! read more

Great value... quality of food was outstanding. I would highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding

As we headed to Whistler after work on a Friday, our first meal was dinner. And it is none other than one of my favourite Whistler restaurants, Rim Rock Cafe. Our meal included: Halibut, Mussels, Caesar Salad, Spiced Cauliflower, Rib Eye Steak, Mushroom Risotto (not pictured), Sticky Toffee Pudding, and a bottle of the Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris (not pictured). My entree was the Halibut and it was heaven-in-your-mouth perfection.. one of the best halibuts I've ever had. Although it's about a third of the size since I had the halibut 6 years ago, and with a much higher price point. I guess the cost of seafood has increased that significantly over the years. My appetizer were the Mussels and it was amazing. I probably ate the remaining of the bread at the table just dipping it in the broth because it was SO GOOD. Had to make sure I savoured every last bite. Finished off the meal with their infamous Sticky Toffee Pudding. Just as good as I remember. Didn't get the best picture of it cause I already devoured part of it without thinking, not realizing I hadn't taken a picture yet. Foodie fail! Overall a delicious meal! A great start to our Whistler getaway. read more

I was disappointed in our meal at Rimrock. The gin cocktail I got was one of the worst I've ever had (tasted like a well gin and tonic....). The food: mostly not that flavorful. The wedge salad wasn't flavorful at all. The almond oysters tasted burnt. The raw oysters were overpowered by raw shallots. The bacon overpowered the clams in the clam dish. Seafood antipasto was probably the only decent thing, but quite small. The salmon on the seafood trio was undercooked. The filet was slightly undercooked (ordered Med Rare and got Rare). The two entrees had the exact same veg sides (carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, sweet potato mash). I expect more unique flavor profiles from a restaurant at this price point. Long wait times between courses (over 30 minutes). Overall, nothing knocked our socks off, especially for the price. Atmosphere: way too dark. Could barely see food. Friendly service but our waters were empty several times. We strongly preferred Red Door down the street. There is no way I would come back here with the abundance of options in Whistler. read more

The ambiance of the small outdoor patio is romantic and charming. The service is attentive and warm. The food is outstanding, especially the lobster mashed potatoes. In a sea of high end dining options this is the stand out. Make reservations as it's well known that this is the place for a 5 star experience. read more

Ambiance is warm and cozy with a lodge feeling. More upscale than it sounds. Service was outstanding. We arrived early for our reservation and enjoyed a drink in the bar. The bartender was warm and chatty but not intrusive. Drinks were on point. Our server was OUTSTANDING!! A gentleman from Australia who's been in the area for 8 years, 2 in Whistler. Explained the menu, some off menu items, and was on point. The food was incredible. We were a party of two and each had the Seafood Trio (salmon, prawns, and ahi) and we split a filet mignon. Everything was super fresh and tasted outstanding. Try the lobster bisque. The location is between the main Whistler area and Creekside but worth going. If you are staying in the area, taxi, Lyft, or see if a lodge shuttle. This is a must eat dinner place!!! read more

Amazing is all we can say. We went here because everyone we talked to in town said this was the best restaurant in Whistler. Whistler does have many wonderful restaurants, but Rimrock might be the best. We had raw and cooked oysters. The raw were fantastic and the cooked were uniquely prepared and fantastic. The rack of lamb was perfectly prepared and plated with vegetables. And then.....was the seafood trio. Salmon, Seared Ahi and we substituted in Halibut instead of prawns. It was hands down the most creative seafood dish we have ever had and an absolute must order. The wine selections are outstanding and the service was casually perfect. All in all an outstanding experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Probably the best restaurant in whistler. First off, our server, Venetia, was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgable and friendly, offered us bread for our appetizers as well knowing it would go well with everything. The interior was classy and had a lot of cool historic clippings. The food... it was unbelievable how good each appie and main was. The stars of tonight for me was the mussels and the venison in the mixed grill. 1000% would recommend!! read more

Quality fine dining with a comfortable but elegant ambiance in Whistler. Service is consistent / excellent and they do have reasonable offerings (off menu) for vegans. I had their chickpea curry (off menu) and it was delicious. They also offer mocktails and non-alcoholic beers for those who may be trying out dry January. My omnivore friends enjoyed their seafood, lamb and many cocktails. Looking forward to a future visit! read more

What an excellent meal. No wonder this is one of the top rated restaurants in Canada.! The server, Jason was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, but not invasive or overbearing. Perfect. Recommendations were spot on. We started with mussels, which were pei, and probably the biggest mussels I've ever eaten. Just scrumptious and plump. We moved on to a ceviche (actually salted shellfish and regular fish but scrumptious ) and mushroom salad with greens and warm mushrooms topped with some fancy vinaigrette that was just yummy. We shared the ling cod, which is a very tender fish, but more firm like halibut in texture. Excellent flavor served with a delicious minty type sauce over rice. We finished with sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. I had to really hold back because it was just amazing.! It's situated in a coin converted bungalow just off the main drag. Lovely warm ambience inside. What a pleasant surprise here in Whistler! Loved it!!! read more

From the person taking our reservation over the phone, to our host, to our server, to the food, all five stars. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting the area. There's a reason why this is voted best food in Whistler. Our server was gracious, attentive, friendly, and just wonderful. Our food was amazing. My husband had the halibut, I had the mushroom salad, and my son had the filet mignon. We all agreed that this was one of the best meals we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and get the dessert medley so you can try most of their desserts including the sticky toffee cake!!! Your welcome. We will be back! read more

Called around 5pm Tuesday night for a table of 2. Got a 7:45pm table and have to leave credit card info. Short drive from village to creek side. Main dining area is upstairs so have to get up like 20 steps. There is a bar area. Place is like half filled. Probably for social distance and short staff. Checked vaccine info before entry. Easy parking outside. Waiter comes as soon as we seated shows us menu and specials. There is an extensive wine list. I picked foie gras as appetizer and fish as main course. Waiter recommends getting a glass of Sauternes with foie gras which is nice. Fish is very soft and oily. It has mushroom risotto. Fish course is excellent. Bottle of wine we picked was good too and reasonable priced. Overall very nice dining experience. Will repeat when have a chance. read more

This place is a must-have In my bi-annual trips up to Whistler. Cute little cabin away from the village makes it more of your special night out without the off putting hotel vibes.

I was on vacation with my family. We were hungry and googled places to eat. Saw that Rim Rock had food we love. I called before going and confirmed if reservation was needed, the guy on the phone said, "no. It's preferred, but not needed." I asked if kids were allowed, and the guy replied,"only if they're well behaved like adults." Yes, my kids are well behaved. We got to the place at 5:40pm and got turned away. The lady didn't even want to talk to me; she immediately looked away as soon as someone walked in. The guy just kept saying we don't have a table for 6, not even for 4, but would NOT say if there's any table for a different time. They wouldn't even look at me while talking. The lady quickly helped a party of FOUR that came in AFTER us. You had a table for 4 and 3.... You couldn't push them together? Places like this disgust me. We're NOT in the stone age. read more

We drove into what appears to be a dark alleyway parking lot, but what a rustic cozy restaurant. The service was great: water is refilled constantly, bread was served, all the cocktails we ordered were wonderfully presented and tasteful. We ordered the ceviche on special and the beef tartare for appetizers and both are gloriously flavourful. The four of us decided to share 2 trios: seafood trio (special), meat trio (venison, lamb, and fillet minion), with a risotto on the side. Well cooked, and great flavour. We were full and have no room for dessert. Overall, great experience, service and food. Will come back again. read more

This has to be one of the finest restaurants in the Whistler area. Service is impeccable. The food is also excellent. We had the sable fish, scallops and lamb chops all prepared perfectly. This is my second time here; just as good as the first. Would highly recommend the Rimrock café. I would advise, getting reservations early since they fill up quickly. I had to book before I got to Whistler. It is worth the trouble. read more
