We went to Araxi on a Saturday night in October with a party of 6. We were anticipating a great meal given the reputation of the place (and the prices), and for the most part the food was good, with two notable exceptions (more later). The wine list is extensive, with a wide range of prices. The wait staff were... more

It isn't a gourmet food experience your getting at Araxi -- but it is extrmely well-prepared west-coast fare / sea-food, sushi, meat of course, sadly limited vegetarian options. Simple preparation, nothing fancy or intimidating, fresh local ingredients and quite healthy portion sizes. Amazing lemon tarte. A very busy place with flexibility in dining: oyster bar for drinks also available. Interior... more

The food was fantastic - it was very delicious and placed emphasis on local/regional ingredients. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere very comfortable. more

My family and I spent a week in Whistler and had to go to Araxi because we are huge fans of Hell's Kitchen. The restaurant seemed to be well decorated with dark warm tones.

Araxi, home to this seasons winning Hell's Kitchen chef, is a trendy, upscale restaurant smack in the middle of The Village.

Of course Araxi is very expensive, however... more

Can't agree more with boeingchicago. This was certainly less than average. Service was awfull and the excuse given was they were busy, aren't they meant to be? more

If you are a die hard foodie, this is for you. Do the Chef's Sea or Land Tasting Menu with the Wine option. Heaven. Internationally inspired, locally grown and expertly executed. The real deal, all the items at once familiar and yet reinvented and surprising. Not just a bunch of minimalist fare served with attitude. There is love and respect... more

This is one of the few true fine dining places in the Village. Service is impeccable, decor is very nice, etc. The food I thought wasnt as good as the experience. Pasta was not freshly made abd everything was just a bit short of what I expected. If you want a dress up night out this restaurant will please you.... more
