    The Den is great. The review is for the Christmas buffet in the ballroom. Dont Pay for it. I watched multiple tables leave angry and get refunds. The food wasnt bad for a Buffett but there is no service. No server. No plate picker upper. No one to tell you want to do. No way to order a drink from your table. Buffett did not have serving utensils. People used their hands. Crab legs had no utensils to crack them. So no one really had crab. If you asked for utensils, they would bring you one. This was honestly the biggest ripoff I have had in a long time. I was actually jealous of the angry people. I had teens with me, and they were equally like why did we pay for this but I didnt want to make Christmas Eve negative by complaining but come on Nita. You took $100 a person and put me in a giant room, tried to give me a table for 8, when I have 4, to spend with another family when there was 8 or more empty tables for 4. You didnt have one person working the ballroom. A ballroom. No one working it. No serving utensils on the buffett. The crab legs were water logged. Half the mussels were closed on the Buffett which doesn’t make you want to get food from it. I had to get up for every single thing. Everything. Water, wine, anything. No server and you charged $100 per person

    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.
