  This was the best dining experience of the vacation! I had the most amazing beef tenderloin - truly tender, perfectly cooked. My daughter had the scallops and eggplant and all but licked the plate. The only bad thing I can say is that we ordered 2 petit fours from the menu to go. I was looking forward to 2 yummy cake & frosting squares but was surprised to find their version of "petit fours" was a tiny macaroon and one-inch long miniature sweet bread. The chocolate dessert we had at the restaurant was fabulous, though. It was like a molten chocolate lava cake, served with earl grey ice cream.

  All hype in my opinion. Maybe once they get the new chef..it'll be better. Out of 4 people at our table...3 of the fish dishes were awful..and the risotto was just ok. The smoked sable was terrible, tasted like it had liquid smoked pured on it and it was under cooked. No flavor but smoke. When you spend $30+ per dish..it should be great! I will give the service and wine a 5 though.

  The staff at Araxi provided us with some of the best service I have ever experienced; a pleasant surprise to find in a busy ski town where servers are typically seasonal foreigners. They were knowledgeable without being pretentious and friendly without being overbearing. The only drawback is the price tag, but as the saying goes, you pay for what you get.

  There are no seams involved with the food, service & value. Hands down, it doesn't get any better than this throughout B.C. A step beyond superior. You missed it if you did not dine here for an exquisite dinner. Pamper yourself, you deserve it if you're here!

  Champagne and bottled water were the first things suggested. While the quality of the food was good we felt that the atmosphere was pretentious and somewhat snooty and the service was somewhat lacking in attention.

  Portions were tiny! Designed for people who sleep in at the hotel, have lunch at 3, and dinner at 6, not people who bike Whistler mountain all day! Go to one of the trattoria's if you want a filling meal!
