It was a little too dark for me. The portions for potatoes and corn were too much… the restaurant isn’t meant for a solo diner.

Fantastic experience at the Chalet at Fairmont Chateau Whistler. We had the Classics dinner, for a party of eight, and really enjoyed it; the servers brought extra bread and vegetables for us to enjoy with the fondue. They were also kind enough to accommodate a last-minute change to the number of our party (from six to eight) which made the birthday celebration absolutely perfect!

Greeted promptly, politely and seated by the window, perfect the manager kept checking in politely to confirm everything was great.. Emma our server was the best server we had on this trip. Derek at Quattro was the runner up. Back to Emma and The Wildflower Restaurant at The Fairmont Chateau. Pleasant, relaxed, special restaurant. Great food, we had the chowder, beet salad, split the Main Special, "Chilean Sea Bass" and had one desert, Peanut Butter and some incredible ingredients (you need to go try it and read the menu yourself.) We will be back and we'll hope to see Emma again.

We dined at the Den this evening and had a lovely experience. Our server was Aaron and we enjoyed his easy going personality and his menu suggestions were on point. We were celebrating my husbands 40th birthday and they definitely made him feel celebrated tonight. We will definitely come back next time we are in Whistler. Highly recommended the mushroom toast for a starter and the salmon and duck were excellent as well!
