Lovely ambiance. The attic was reminiscent of the 20s style prohibition cafes and the service was charming. We tried the small plates and they were were rich and flavourful with an excellent blend of seasoning and Sauces. They were quite small for their price though, 5 bites for each course. The Hendrix margarita was fantastic and refreshing.
Ambience is nice, warm and inviting. The staff is very friendly, the bar is well equipped, good long wine list. Its a really popular restaurant and one must book several days in advance during peak season. The food is average at best. The dessert was terrible (brownies). All in all I was disappointed for the hassle of getting a reservation and a pricey meal.
Came here with some girlfriends. They have a great menu with either small plates (aka appy’s) or main dishes. I had the braised pork with pureed yams, and fennel with apple coleslaw, which melted in my mouth. The pureed yams were slightly pureed too much however not enough to discourage me from ordering it again if I came. My friend had the steamed mussels and the sauce was great, although it had too much onion in it. The chilli prawns with wontons my friend had was quite a small dish. My other friend has the bacon wrapped filet mignon small plate and though she stated it was good, she was chewing each piece for quite some time due to the cut she was given having a bit of fat.The food was good. Part of the reason for the rating was because of the service. We had a reservation at 845, we arrived at 835 and our table was not ready. We were then told we could go up to the lounge to sit and have a drink, but when we got up there we were told there was only one seat. So they stuck us by the stairs standing for 20 minutes. After 15 minutes we asked if our table was ready and it wasn’t. I felt the service was not up to par and felt out of place standing at the bar which wasn’t appropriate. They could have done more from a service perspective to rectify the confusion and wait.
Got seated at the attic area which is a nice warm bar. Quite crowded for dinner but the service was as good as the food. Great for hangout at the main village.
I visited this restaurant 2 days ago for dinner with my husband.We were greeted and sat right away at a beautiful spot right by the window. It was not very busy as we were there for an early dinner.They had a special set menu as it was the cornucopia festival while we were there. it was one appetizer, one main and a dessert or dessert coffee for $37 which is great value!We both decided to go for that. I ordered a Malbec which was nice and my husband had a beer. The service was great, very attentive and professional, the girl was friendly and sweet throughout the entire meal.I ordered the pork belly which was out of this world! it was cooked to perfection and the sweet potato and fennel puree it sat on was delicious, I need that recipe! The coleslaw was also a nice acidic, crunchy touch.My husband had the mussels. We normally have them with white wine sauce so he ordered them with the Thai curry instead, this proved to be a great decision! The Thai curry broth was medium spiced and full of flavour and really complimented the mussels.I had the scallops and tiger prawns, the sauce they were in was very lemony and fresh tasting. the scallops were overcooked and slightly chewy but the prawns were beautiful and just right. The vegetables were way too hard and badly chopped and the rice was somewhat bland. Overall I wasn’t blown away by this meal.My husband had the rock fish, this was very bland. the rice was plain, the vegetables the same as mine and the sauce was mild, way too mild. the fish had no taste and wasn’t seasoned. After such a great appetizer, we were disappointed.We both ordered a dessert instead of a coffee. I had the creme brle and my husband had the brownie. the creme brle was really delicious, perfectly done and its always a favourite for me. The brownie was also delicious and came with a peanut butter brittle and caramel sauce, it was a great dessert and ended the meal nicely.I would like to try this place again and try some other items as they have an excellent menu!
21 Steps is in my top 3 favourite places to eat in whistler. It’s tough to get in, so make a reservation. Been a few times. We’ve always had great service, lovely atmosphere and delicious food.
Couldn’t get over the awful service here. They were abrupt and served a bunch of drinks that were mixed really poorly. They clearly just want to turn tables at this place and don’t understand that service is part of the package you are paying for when you go out for a higher end dinner. I think all these waitresses need extensive customer service training. They were so hostile they made us all feel uncomfortable and rushed. They kept reminding us of the next reservation. It’s not our responsibility to keep tabs on your reservations – you need to learn to book tables appropriately and spaced out. We were only 30 minutes into our meal which included appies and mains when they were already talking about the next party.
