The happy hour is not so happy when compared to this time last year. We miss the previous happy hour food and cocktail menu with its good deals on appetizers and at least four innovative cocktails. Now, the only cocktails were a spritz and negroni and they simply take $2 off the normal food menu. Food quality was good, but baba ganoush was disappointing.

Food has improved a LOT! Used to only come here when my go-to village restaurants were booked. Haven't been in for about +/-3yrs. I was impressed with the huge change with food quality.I have tried at least everything on the menu and they're all sooo good. Schnitzel, lamb, tuna tataki, cauliflower bites, beetroot tartare, baba ghanoush, beef tartare, potato puff etc. These are really good. They have a good selection of cocktail drinks.You've got 2hrs to finish your meals is the downside. We were literally looking at our watches as we ate.
My experience here was quite disappointing. Although the food was nice, service was sub-par. We waited at the host stand for way longer than we should have. Multiple members of staff gave us eye contact, but none of them acknowledged us. After we were seated, we waited for about 15 minutes before our server came over to greet us and take our orders. When we finally got our food, our server did not check on us until after we had finished eating. Overall, we left the raven room feeling rather neglected.

Raven Room is my favourite restaurant and bar in all of Whistler and one of my top worldwide. It's a little hidden gem nestled in the Pan Pacific. But not so hidden that it's easy to get a reservation - book early and/or go early. It's gorgeous as a space to enjoy. The food is always as stunning to taste as to look at as well.The owners and staff are super kind, making it feel like a special and warm spot from the start while being impressive for everyone I have ever brought here too. There are plenty of BC wines, fascinating cocktails, fresh seafood, good desserts, and many other surprises. The menu changes a lot. No dish has ever left me wanting and every dish has surprised me on some taste aspect in a great way. They definitely hit my palate right from drinks and appetizers through to desserts.I can highly recommend the ceviches and other raw fish dishes - scallop, salmon, tuna are all ?. The sauces and marinades are amazing. I like the baba ganoush. The caramelized pineapple dessert with ice cream with coconut flakes is really lovely. We miss the flaky peanut butter and jelly dessert - please bring it back! We promise to eat at least six each per season.On our last visit, they were super accommodating for my friend's dietary restrictions as well.Dietary restrictions: So kind to accomodate restrictions

Didn’t enjoy the evening at this place. Save your money for another dining experience. Food, service and quality is very low for the price. Definitely not coming

We were at Whistler for 3 days and this was the best dinner place we went to during our trip. The drinks were nice - I recommend the Bad Bunny. We ate the seared tuna appetizer, the lamb chops (extremely tender and well seasoned), risotto, and the churros. Everything tasted great. The place was loud, but looked like everyone was having fun.

We were pretty disappointed by our experience here. We came in with really high hopes based off of the reviews and felt let down. In particular the cocktails left a lot to be desired. The Bad Bunny was frankly bad. We were hoping for more breadth of cocktail selection and better flavors. The ambience was nice, service good, and food pretty good, but describing itself as the premiere cocktail bar of Whistler felt misleading.

Excellent vegetarian and vegan options and top notch food overall. Among the best if not the best vegetarian food I've had in Whistler. I had the beetroot tartare and lentil shepherd pie and both were delicious. They also have very nice non-alcoholic beverage options. I had the Basking in the Mediterranean and loved it.The atmosphere is cozy and cool. It feels elegant but not stuffy. We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Many delicious options

Decent food, good service. The steak was chewy, and the gravy was good but we just don't know why you would want to smother perfectly good fries... But we knew what we were in for on that. Other dishes were fine, staff checked on us several times. Central location. Had to book a few days in advance during peak season but suspect they were taking some walk-ins as well.
We went here after dinner for dessert and cocktails. The service was excellent and the flaming pineapple and churros were delicious. The vibe however was lacking. It’s a typical hotel bar with not much going on. I would probably not come back but did enjoy our time there.

Love the aesthetic here! We were lucky to get in with a group of 6 on a Thursday night. It was packed and lots of smaller parties were around. The food came out quick and started us off with beetroot tartare, Pacific scallop ceviche, raw beef tenderloin tartare, and grilled vegetables. Interesting take on beef tartare with roasted corn nuts added in. I preferred the beetroot tartare and felt all the components paired well together. I think I felt played when the grilled vegetables came out because it was broccoli and not broccolini as stated on the menu. There was carrots and shriveled kale... there was no charring from said "grilling" and overall it was bland. Some redeeming factors was the Squamish harvest mushroom risotto + seared foie gras which was my favorite. It was rich and creamy and foie gras added the perfect touch. The rest of my party was split between either the filet mignon + foie gras poutine or the Moroccan grilled Australian lamb chops + seared scallops being their favorite dishes. The poutine was great and the foie gras is in the gravy and it added a subtle richness which we all enjoyed. The lamb chops were juicy, tender, and cooked well. We had finished off our meal with churro with a chili dulce de leche sauce that was soooo good! The Forty Creek cream chocolate mousse was nice surprise with a hint of whisky flavor but not overpowering. I loved the crispy quinoa bits! Would go again and try different dishes!

We came here for a late-ish dinner around 8:15 during a weekday and the place was packed. It took a bit for the hostess to notice us (or at least acknowledge us), and it was actually another customer who came out and said someone would be with us shortly. A bit unconventional, but courteous of them. We get seated and order a few small plates and two glasses of wine. The wine takes a pretty long time to get to the table, that said, the bar was pretty busy so that's understandable. My main point of confusion, and the reason why I knocked off stars, is that we ordered a dish with grilled kale, broccolini, and spicy peppers. What we got was clearly steamed or maybe even microwaved broccoli, carrots and red bell peppers in a sauce that was too heavy and way too sweet. Also ordered a Sheppards pie that was supposed to come with grilled bread but it was toasted. Our hypothesis was their grill wasn't working...but why not just say so? The Sheppards pie also inexplicably came with some pepper relish or jelly? No idea what to put that on. Would not come back here, especially since there's so many other options within walking distance.

The mushroom risotto is sooooo amazing. We both really love it! The sauce is sooo nice. It’s creamy and the mushroom is sooo good. I can’t find a better word to describe how much I like it.The lamb chop is okay. I also like them have the option to add some clean vegetables.
