We ate at a number of nice places while in Whistler, and this was a good meal. I will say that the corn soup first course was pretty disappointing, because it had zero salt. However, the cocktail, bread and subsequent courses made up for it. The herb crust on the halibut was interesting - I didn't love the texture, but the flavor was great.
I've always felt like sitting at the bar at a nice restaurant gets you the best service, and this was no exception.
Putting this below the fold in the review, because it should not steer anyone away from eating here, you should eat here.
The line cook who served the soup - taste your food. It's the first impression and sets the tone for the meal. Soup is so easy to taste and season in a batch to perfection so there really isn't a good excuse. The cook and seasoning on the fish was spot on, but I was a little confused about the tasty but soft layer of herb on top. The menu description said crust which primed me for something with a little texture.

This place is good; a solid 3.5/5 stars. Service and atmosphere are great. The seafood tower was 4/5, but all of our entrees were mid (chicken, steak, and a roll). Not bad, but not worthy of 5 stars. This place has really high reviews on the travel apps, but there are better places to eat in Whistler. I’d go back if someone in my group wanted to go, because again the food isn’t terrible, but it’s nothing special. Get the seafood tower if you go.

Araxi Restaurant & Oyster Bar
First time in Whistler. Never know what to expect, however we did experience fine dining at its best. The 4 course fixed price, 4 wine pairing, x2 (fixed price) was just excellent. The staff were excellent, meaning all staff we encountered were well groomed (trained) and talented. Even the young person shadowing was superb. At Araxi, great window table, no reservation, comfortable surroundings, no rush experience, and would definitely return. I said this experience reminds me of a meal in a restaurant (Mandarin Oriental), a few years ago.

It was really great experienced dine-in night.
Most popular restaurant has prix Fixe (4 course meals) here, Whistler. It seems like very common !
This Araxi is very busy and crowdy, so loud, but great dishes and service !
Especially Miso Marinated Sablefish was unbelivably delicioua and 5 star dish you must try out it ! It haa so mich savory flavor and perfect marinated miso taste ! I wont forget about it.
Furthermore Server Andy was amazing, kind !
Thanks for our anniversary night !

Had a fantastic experience last night at Araxi! Sat on the patio with our dog, and went for the $44 4 course fixed menu. Paris, our sever, took such great care of us! She was very knowledgeable, classy, and friendly. Food and wine were fantastic (we did the wine pairing). We look forward to coming back! Thanks Paris and Araxi!
