   We had to ask twice for refills on soft drinks and didn’t even get one we ordered. Food menu was limited and server was snooty. Wine menu was extensive and did have good choices.

   Tried Il Caminetto for the first time. Don't know why we waited so long. Service was great and food was delicious. Shared the burrata caprese and hummus as our starters. Hummas was smooth and had lots of flavour. Would have made it even better if it came with some pita chips or something crunchy. Still worth trying. For mains we shared the saffron spaghetti of lobster and Bistecca Alla Florentina. The steak came with an arugula salad, roasted cauliflower, and fingerling potatoes. Everything was delicious and very well prepared. They even had a kids menu which was great for our 2 kids. Will definitely have another meal at Il Caminetto the next time we're in Whistler.

   Our server was very attentive and very pleasant, but we found the restaurant very noisy and we had a hard time hearing him. The menu was not especially exciting to us, the food was quite good but not as amazing as we had expected. The appetizers were not as appealing as we would have expected, the halibut was absolutely perfect but the duck was somewhat tasteless - I expected a more gamy taste, but instead it was kind of difficult to distinguish from pork. Veggies were nice and the presentation was beautiful. The desserts were not as good as expected... loved the tea cup idea for the tiramisu, but too much cocoa on top and lacking the coffee or alcohol flavor that I like. I was disappointed that the server's assistants forgot about the 70th birthday request to have a candle on my husband's dessert, but he will survive. So, compared to our many experiences with restaurants like Araxi, Rimrock, and Red Door in Whistler, this was not as amazing as we had expected - a little underwhelming.

   My husband and I were there on a Monday night, so the restaurant was quiet. Our server, a French snowboarder, was very attentive and other young lady who took our second drink order was as sweet and kind as he was. The food! I had hummus, risotto, duck, and ice cream and my husband had warm olives, kanpachi, steak, and olive oil cake - yum! I was most impressed with how the chef cooked kanpachi. I am Japanese and have had kanpachi before. Although I am usually skeptical about non-Japanese cooking kanpachi (sorry, not being discriminative, but had been disappointed before at other pricy restaurants), at Il Caminetto, it was perfectly done and exceeded my expectation beautifully! I imagined the dish would be like kanpachi carpaccio, but it was thicker sliced and prepared nicely that tasted like sashimi scallops. Loved the risotto. Medium rare rib eye was so flavourful (we shared and liked his beef more than my duck), and I wish there were one more scoop of vanilla ice cream and mango sorbet each! Thank you for the fantastic meal and the memorable interactions with those nice serving staff members. Amazing experience!

   Service and food was amazing as usual. When we first arrived it was quite busy and therefore very noise. It got calmer after around 40 min

   My favourite restaurant in Whistler. The service team is exceptional. They remembered the table I like to sit at, they accommodated our every need and went above and beyond as per usual and why I love it here so much. The food was fantastic as well. Nicely done!
