The dining room resonates with lively ambiance enhanced with fresh flowers and original works of art. The adjoining Bar is the mountain’s popular gathering place for locals and visitors, and in the summer season the patio is the nexus of Whistler’s village life, wrapped by stunning mountain vistas.

Like a reviewer below who also gave five stars, we bought an online hotel-and-dinner deal for a little weekend mini-getaway. Our meal was a pre-set menu, three courses, and I have to admit I was a little nervous as to what that would be. I was pleasantly surprised to see a superb menu, with difficult choices to make for each... More

We has another fine dinner. We have eaten here many times. The food is great. The waitstaff is super. The only thing we disliked is when we went back during this same week they were closed for the week. More

We went to Araxi as part of an online Whistler deal, and we would definitely go back! It's an expensive night (if you do it right!), but worth it. The food was excellent, the wine selection was outstanding, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Enjoy! More

I ordered an asparagus salad and the dressing was made with peanut oil! Who uses peanut oil anymore, with all the allergies out there. It does not say anything on the menu about this. Fortunately there was a pharmacy next door where I could buy Benadryl to avoid a trip to the hospital. They also gave me the wrong sushi... More

The food was very good but the service was slow. Our waitress was asian and there was a slight language barrier. Good time at restaurant, would return, but be prepared for a long meal. More

This reastuarant isn't bad but it is so overrated, their success appears to be in their marketing rather than the quality of their food. This is not a bad reastaurant, like every restaurant their are pluses and minuses but those that rate this restaurant highly must be comparing it to some low grade restaurants. There are much better restaurants in... More
