    Wild Blue absolutely delivered -- from the atmosphere to every single plate. We started with the Pemberton farmed beet salad, and it was such a beautiful balance of earthy and bright. The miso sesame dressing added depth without overpowering the beets, while the puffed grains gave it the perfect crunch. The nori, shiso, and hint of yuzu brought a subtle freshness that made the dish feel light yet layered. A stunning start. The cavatelli with fontina and 5g shaved black truffles was pure comfort but elevated. Rich, silky, and deeply savory, with the truffle aroma hitting you immediately. The focaccia and fresh herbs tied it all together -- indulgent without feeling heavy. The standout for me was the sablefish. Perfectly cooked -- buttery and flaky -- paired beautifully with turnip, radish, and maitake mushrooms. The roasted fish bone sauce was incredibly refined and packed with umami. Every bite felt intentional and balanced. And to finish, the sticky toffee pudding -- warm, decadent, and exactly what you want to end the night. Sweet, comforting, and unforgettable. Wild Blue blends refined technique with thoughtful ingredients. Definitely one of the highlights of dining in Whistler

    Amazing food, drinks and service! Was super impressed with this place and how they handled our large group. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the seafood platter and miso lingcod were the standouts of the night. Everything was seasoned perfectly and the NY steak was cooked to perfection. For drinks, a crowd favourite was the negroni and the pistachio cocktail. Will definitely be coming back here for future celebratory dinners!

    Perfection! The cool cozy atmosphere, the kind staff, and the most delicious food. This is a definite must try in whistler. My favourite cocktail was the matcha! Even the non alcoholic cocktails were amazing. I love their attention detail and creativity.

    Very classy upscale decor upon entering. Reminiscent of the inside of a ship, a fancy one! The bar is large with a warp around bar seating area and the dining room is also large but intimate feeling good for groups too. We've been here before but thought we'd try their Prix fixe menu and it did not disappoint! For $39 we had a four course meal and it was just enough portion size to feel full and not stuffed. It may be small for someone with a larger appetite. More like a tasting menu. Starters: fresh pea salad, organic spring mix salad Appetizer: pasta (a version of carbonara) it was delicious! Main: veal shank- amazing, but comes with a surcharge, well worth it! The ling cod equally amazing no surcharge! Dessert: rhubarb slice and a lemon meringue bite. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented, service is equally high and you can always choose the option of a wine pairing for a bit extra to have with your meal. Worth the visit and at this price you can't go wrong, so get it before the regular season begins and prices go back up!

    Wild Blue was recommended to us by multiple friends, and our experience far exceeded our high expectations. What an incredible restaurant! The service, ambience, and incredible cuisine makes this one of the best restaurants in Whistler. We were fortunate enough to sit at the bar, which was a lovely treat. The bartender was so kind, interesting, social, and made great recommendations for us. We had a selection of local oysters to start, I ordered the Sablefish, and my husband ordered the Duck Breast. Each course was perfectly plated, and the sommelier made a perfect recommendation for a wine to complement each of our plates. Heavenly doesn't begin to describe the almost ineffable flavors. We had the Petit Fours for dessert. What a perfect and light end to a phenomenal meal.

    I've come here many times the past 2-3 years and was initially blown away by the food so much we ate there almost 3 days in a row and it became our favorite restaurant in Whistler, but each time we've visited the past year or so - maybe three times - sadly we've been enjoying the food less overtime. The most recent time we went, we had the $59 3 course prix fixe meal and the only dishes we enjoyed of the 6 was the Cauliflower Ceasar and steelhead crudo. The rest of the food was not to our liking... the Chicken liver was very sweet, lingcod texture seemed freezer burned and flavor was lackluster. The glazed pork belly was 3 slices of an overpowering sweet thick bacon... not at all what I came to expect from my initial visits nor worth the price we paid... still very nice restaurant, vibe and service though.

    The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. I wanted a sweet drink and the server recommended the rhubarb strawberry drink...delicious. The lighting and music perfect. My partner picked the best place for dinner. The place got packed. First of all, lobster bisque was delicious and the halibut was yummy. My partners rib cap was amazing and tender. The shishito pepper and the sauce . My fave and hands down my #1, it was the sticky toffee pudding. To me, its the best i have ever had. Hands down my fave. I would recommend friends and family to go there. I recommend everyone should go there.

    Octopus appetizer
    Larry L.

    Had a reservation for 2 at Wild Blue at 5:30 on a Sunday night. Our server was absolutely lovely and spot on with her recommendations. What we decided on: Octopus appetizer: 10/10 This set expectations extremely high for the rest of the night. The octopus was perfectly cooked and the chickpeas surprisingly stole the show. Bluefin Tuna entree: 6*/10 This rating really deserves a big caveat. Being that the two of us are huge fans of sushi and live in the Seattle area, and thus have access to amazing sushi places (see my other Yelp reviews), unfortunately the bluefin tuna fell short compared to everything else we had. The scallion tempura was very unique and amazingly made and the dish is very well put together. It just didn't wow us. Beef Short Rib steak frites: 10/10 The short rib blew our minds. Amazingly tender, perfectly cooked. Paired with the yakiniku sauce, it was perfection. NGL the fries were a bit of an afterthought. Passable but nothing special. Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert: 9/10 A great way to end the meal. Lost a point because it was all gone too soon. Can't wait to come back and try some more dishes here!

    Grilled shrimp
    Teena S.

    We came here because of the reviews and we are so glad we did. The food was really good and the service was great. Donald was our waiter and he was very friendly and offered great suggestions. Hamachi crudo - delicious and highly recommended (it's one of their best sellers) Oysters - fresh and delicious Octopus - good Prime rib eye + fries - the steak was cooked to perfection and it was delicious and we didn't even need use any of their sauce. Please note that if you pick two sauces, you will get charged for the extra sauce. Fries were good too. Grilled shrimp - good Rigatoni with a red sauce - good (kids meal) Sticky pudding - delicious (it would have been better if they put a candle on it as we were celebrating a birthday) Overall, great restaurant and walking distance from the Westin.

    This place is so hard to get into if you don't have advance reservations, but wow it was incredible. Best meal I had at Whistler and the octopus was the best dish of our trip. We were seated at the bar and had a 60 min time limit because we didn't have reservations, but came early enough. Got oysters, the grilled octopus, and two filet mignons as our entree. The bartender warned that it would take a while but they got our food to us in record speed so they can shuffle us out of there without rushing us to eat. If you were wondering, we were stuffed and had plenty of spare time within their hour limit. As for ambience, it is definitely fancy. If you've ever watched "The Bear" there are elements of the impeccable service but also, workers bickering because it's such a machine to turn over customers at their service level. It was awkward as I could hear someone at the bar sniping at other workers and the moment you set your napkin down wrong, someone is there to refold it for you.

    Pork chop
    Alice Y.

    We managed to score a reservation for our party of 9 over the Christmas break. What a treat! From the minute you step into Wild Blue, the ambience was warm, inviting and the bar was visually stunning. It was so festive with all the Christmas lights. We were seated in the private dining room and our server was professional, knowledgeable and helpful the entire night. It was nice that we all were able to order off the a la carte menu for a party of 9. Drinks, wine and food all delicious. I think the standouts were the seafood platter with the green chili gremolata. So yummy. The prawns were so fresh, nicely chilled and truly tasted as if they had just come out of the water. The bacon chop also a must order. It didn't disappoint and will absolutely be back next time we're in Whistler.

    Bar seats

    Came for a late night drink. Two glasses of white and the Parmesan truffles fries to share. Two seats are the bar with no wait and no reservations. Pros: - absolutely beautiful interior and space. Super lush and relaxed - the service was impeccable with attention to detail and knowledge on the wine - fries appeared double or triple fried. It was fantastically crisp and flavorful (without the oily texture) - check out the bathroom. There's a sitting powder room to enjoy - on the pricey side, but that's to be expected: $22/glass of wine

    This was our final dinner for our short stay in Whistler. It recently won Best Restaurant in Whistler in Vancouver Magazine, so I had some high expectations. We had reservations and asked whether we preferred to sit inside or in the patio. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we decided patio, where it was lush and still covered from direct sunlight. Although we didn't sit inside, it clearly looked a like a sleek, dark and elegant place with a stunning bar. We were welcome by a very professional server where he went over the spring prix fixe and the a la carte options. He then took our drink order. Our drinks took a lot longer than expected - maybe 10-15 min, but after seeing it served, I could clearly see the attention to detail which is why it took awhile. We decided on the prix fixe ($39 for 4 courses). Here is what we tried: - Spring Sweet Pea Soup - Very good/excellent. I would seldom order a pea soup, as I couldn't imagine it ever being very good. I was completely wrong here. Warm, silky , smooth and nicely seasoned this converted me. I could eat this over and over. - Tomato Tartare - Very good/excellent. I wasn't sure if tomato tartare was a real dish. But what I do know is that when it came out, it looked like a lot of beef tartare I've had. Not only beautifully presented, but also delicious. - Chicken Liver Parfait - Very good. Another work of art, and good tasting plate. My only thought was the pickled rhubarb overpowers the parfait. - Radiatori - Good. Solid dish, but compared to everything else we had, not as memorable. - Roasted Ling Cod - Excellent. I've had roasted fish so many times, it tends to disappoint more than impress, but they did it perfect. It takes a good chef to get the fish the perfect texture (not over cooked) yet the skin so crisp. Topped off with a great sauce, this was exceptional. - Osso Bucco - Very good/excellent. A confidentially prepared dish and it delivered. Braised to perfection. - Rhubarb and Wildflower Gateau - Very good. I generally don't really like rhubarb or edible flowers, but what they delivered is another beautifully plated dessert that was light and surprisingly delicious. - Warm Chocolate Fondant Cake - Excellent. I've had some many similar molten cakes, I was sure there was no way it could get any better. Wrong. Perfectly warm liquid centre, crispy like shell, chocolatey but not overly sweet, this is probably the best version of this dessert I've ever had. Service was spot on. Server, runners, and bussers were all professional, friendly, personable and attentive. The exact service you would expect from a top tier restaurant. What really blew my mind is that the prix fixe menu is only $39 (plus supplemental fees for some items). To get this high a quality meal in Vancouver would cost at least twice that. At this price I would gladly drive up from Vancouver solely to eat at Wild Blue. I can easily see why this place won Best Restaurant in Whistler. Wonderful dinner.

    Special birthday treat.

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.

When you walk in you're promptly greeted by the hosts. We came mid week and tried their spring menu which was 4 courses for 33 before tax and tip. The server was prompt and attentive with a sincere, friendly demeanour. They were out of the tomato soup so we got the chowder and some chips and salsa (not pictured). Both were so delicious. The chips were ultra thick and reminded me of eating bugles as a kid, but way higher class. The salmon and chicken were way larger portions than we had expect , and done to perfection. Chicken is a little spicy but this is the type of service and cooking I liiiiive for! If you've ever had any other Earls scratch that out of your mind because when you come here, this is literally the place to be. Sticky toffee pudding also wonderful. It's not like a pudding more like a mini chocolate cake with toffee, vanilla ice cream and this almond florentine style cookie. Recommend to anyone even vegetarian / vegan as they have a plentiful plant based menu as well. This place is vibes for friends, dates, or a family dinner.
