Went to the lodge for a casual Sunday lunch. It was very quiet on the day so difficult to give the full 5 stars for ambience, but it feels like it would be a cosy place if fuller. The food menu is filled with of generally robust Canadian fare, but this is what we were looking for and I really enjoyed my bison hash. Our server was very attentive and helpful.

The atmosphere, service and decor were incredible. We loved the experience... But the serving size, and pricing felt way off. The 32 dollar striploin was maybe 2.5 oz. Ridiculous. Also, the kitchen is shared with the bar, and their menu included big burgers, giant plates of nachos... So you watch these giant serving of food go by you to the bar area, and then you recieved a comedically small portion. I ended up having to order more food, which should never happen after spending 12 dollars for bread for the table and a 32 dollar striploin. The servers were incredible and the service was great. Knowledgeable, attentive and warm.

We went during their prix fixe 4 course dinner. Value was great. For $59, you can get appies and mains that other fine dining restaurants in Whistler are charging as upgrades including steak and salmon tartare and dry aged striploin. I did find that the XO sauce in the amuse bouche, tartare and scallops were a bit too much and repetitive. Everything was done perfectly other than too much XO.

The food was delicious and they had an amazing selection. The location is beautiful. We sat avery long time before being acknowledged for drinks or water. The server was apologetic, but for the price per person ($49.00 buffet) one expects orders taken for coffee/water rather quickly. After that the service was fine and the food and location made up for it.

The Den is a beautiful setting for a restaurant. The food is very good with the exception,imho, of the bread, which tasted like heated airline buns and has a charge of $12. I mean, great bread is easy to find these days. However, ALL the other dishes were very good. The salmon tartare, kale Caesar, steak and pappardelle with mushroom sauce were all excellent. My only other complaint, and this is a big one for us, is the extremely limited wine list. It is mostly BC wines for anything under $130, and those wines are no comparison to international wines at the same price point. It deters us from going back unless it’s a lunch, when we don’t drink wine generally.
