"For a luxury resort to remain on top with the discerning diner, itmust evolve. Executive chef James Walt continues to plythe ingenuity he displayed when he introduced farm-to-table cuisine to Whistler . His Longtable Series—dinners set among the windrows on Pemberton’s North Arm Farm—has emerged as the event every August. Already locally famous for its two-tier seafood towers, the restaurant has recently added oysters to its offerings. Chef Walt hascelebrated hissuccess witha cookbook, Araxi: Roots to Shoots, Farm Fresh Recipes ."

"Yes, Araxi Restaurant & Oyster Bar is hard to get into, the tables are too close together, and the service can be hit-or-miss. But this long-time farm-to-table favorite (with a brand-new executive chef, Quang Dang, since October 2017) sources ingredients from local farmers, fisheries, and ranchers—including, naturally, a wonderful selection of West Coast oysters—and features one of the best wine selections in British Columbia. Come for splurge-worthy seafood and drinks in a lively locale." - Liz Humphreys

Had a great time there! The oysters were amazing, and the fries and kale Caesar were solid. Tried two cocktails—Monkey Business and Talk About Passion. Even though I love passion fruit, I found Monkey Business more interesting. Will definitely go back!

Food and service were amazing! First, just the bread alone was so good and he kept asking if we wanted more throughout the meal. The soup was so delicious and the tuna poke seemed like a generous portion! I had the salmon which was delicious but I tasted the duck and that was done perfectly. The hazelnut dessert was basic but still delicious. The toffee pudding was better. It was awesome to get the four courses for a great price during shoulder season and they don’t charge an extra employee health benefit on the bill like some places in Whistler. I will definitely go back!

Overpriced. The oysters were ok at $6 each. The $30 crab cake was very small and tasted like rotisserie food. The duck and the venison were similar in the sense that they were both really delicious, but rather small servings. For $55, you don't even get the whole duck breast, just two slices. The house made pasta was the most mediocre plate of noodles with cream that anyone can make at home. At $65 per person before tax and tip for a meal that's not filling, I wouldn't go back.

Very fun 4 course meal for $43. The food was about what you'd expect for the price. Not the best, but okay. I upgraded my main to the tenderloin (+25$). The steak was overcooked on one side. I've had much better tenderloin elsewhere, and the sides which came with it was a little boring and lacking.. just some potato and carrots. I'd expect a bit more green with the steak, and a bit more on the side. For the other courses: (1st) The mushroom soup was good, (2nd) the sushi was bland and flavourless (don't recommend it), and (4th) the desert was decent (could be improved in my opinion). The staff was very attentive and polite! Also they are very strict for food allergies. I'd recommend going to this place if you're looking for a fun dinner date. I'd skip the sushi option in the second course, and skip the tenderloin upgrade (lamb or salmon seem better).

We celebrated a birthday here, and it was a wonderful experience. The $43 fixed menu was an excellent choice, with each dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. We opted to add on the tartare and foie gras, both well worth the extra cost—absolutely delicious. Even without the wine pairings, the cocktails were unique and fantastic. The staff made the celebration feel special in their own way, which was a lovely touch. Overall, a fantastic spot for a memorable night out or any special occasion. Highly recommend!

This is a place I visit every year, but there were a few mistakes with the autumn course. The potato chip and butter cream were supposed to come with the soup, but I didn’t get the butter cream.(I was going to mention it, but my husband gave me his butter, saying he wouldn’t eat it, so I didn’t say anything.^^) For the appetizer, I chose tuna and buckwheat noodles, but the noodles were overcooked and had turned mushy. The main course and dessert were delicious. I couldn’t do it this time, but I highly recommend the wine pairing if possible. However, I will come again next year with high expectations.

Always love Araxi! Service is always great and the food is consistently amazing! The seafood tower is really fresh and my ribeye was cooked to perfection. The chocolate fondant was a delicious touch to a wonderful anniversary celebration for my wife and I. It's truly the best place to dine in Whistler. Thank you.
