Just had a nice dinner last night at the Araxi restaurant in the Village. It was a Monday night, but the place was still quite busy. We both had the pre-fix menu which was great opportunity to try out this place. The atmosphere is very nice, and our waiter Cameron (i think) was very good. I would rate the food... more

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

Loved it!

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. We could easily see throughout the restauant as there were only three other tables with customers. I noticed as we walked through the village that EVERY... more

Araxi, home to this seasons winning Hell's Kitchen chef, is a trendy, upscale restaurant smack in the middle of The Village. The decor is comtemporary, and there are some creative menu choices, highlighted by a popular three-course pre-fixe menu, where each course has three choices for $45. "Standard" menu entrees range from $32-$50. We found the attentive service to be... more

I was a bit apprehensive about our reservation at Araxi after reading a few mixed reviews here, however it was truly excellent. We tried a wide variety of dishes and they were all exquisitely executed – difficult to find any faults. Service was simple and pleasant; we didn’t find it pretentious at all. Of course Araxi is very expensive, however... 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
