(3.6) (4) (3) (3.8) (3.6)My wife and I dropped in without reservations. They found us a table immediately. My wife order the $25 menu and I ordered the $35. She had the Spring Salad, Goat Cheese and Buttermilk Mousse, and the Pork Cheeks. I enjoyed the Chicken Terrine, Pacific Cod and Mussels. My entrée was the Duck Breasts. The servers took the time to explain to me what Buttermilk Mousse was as well as where Pork Cheeks come from. I also learned that Chicken Terrine is a paste rather than a chicken part.
Everything was served elegantly and it was all delicious. The attention to little details was amazing. Alta Bistro is my new favorite Whistler restaurant.
I will be back to impress my gourmet chef friends who think I am a total hick when it comes to dining.
First I have to mention that I started with low expections. All I wanted was a big juicy hamburger and fries.The food met my pre-lowered expectations. The service, however, failed to meet my expectations.
My advice to fellow diners is to order (2) drinks, (2) fries and extra condiments when you place your initial order -- for this will be the last time you will ever see your server. I don't know where she went, but we had to finish our hamburger without a drink refill and no extra sauce for our fries. I saw other servers walk by our table, but our server totally disappeared. My wife and I felt a bet abused and victimized.
Dear Mr. Spot, If you are going to run a "McDonald's like" burger joint, please lower your prices and add a drink dispenser so that I can have refills when I need them. A front counter for easy ordering would be recommended. You can save money on servers and cooks and just buy everything prepackaged. You have a great location. It is shame to see you squander good real estate. Just a thought...
What a deal! Had the 5 courses for $30 offer and it was delicous. We had 8 people in our party and they all ordered different combinations of the 5 course deal. I had the duck which was fantastic. Another ordered the steak and we all felt it was the best steak ever. Desserts were wonderful.
The wine list looked very complete. Ordered two types of wines that were perfectly paired with the food.
Everyone was very impressed and are looking forward to our next Whistler visit.
From the street, 21 Steps looks like a exclusive privated club that is only for the popular kids. We climbed the 21 steps and discovered heaven. Drinks and small plates is the way to go. The drink of choice was the Blueberry Bliss and we all loved the Merguez: Lamb Sausage small plate. We will be back soon.
We love this place whenever we are in Whistler. I love how the service the sushi on a little wooden boat. The food is fresh and well prepared and presented. Favorite sushi was the spicy tuna roll as well as the spider roll. Never had a disappointing meal or experience.
