Now read this (per one of the Dining guides I found): "Other favourites of the menu are the caribou and Kobe beef, which includes BEEF FROM COWS THAT ARE SPOILED WITH DAILY MASSAGES AND CONSUME BEER AS PART OF THEIR REGULAR DIET." (from Whistler the magazine, complimentary copy, winter/spring 2009, page 4) I am not a communist, but this makes me wanna be. I feel I'll puke and sorry I didn't read the guide before I went to this place. It is cold and distant. The waiters/waitresses are trying to be friendly and remain somewhat formal, and there are so many of them, that at the end of the painfully long five courses meal your head will be spinning. I particularly watched one of them, which kept walking fast past our table doing nothing. I mean it, she did NOTHING. Occasionally she'll carry an empty glass. There were six waitresses serving us and I could never ask for something - things only come when they please - you are like a car being washed - nothing depends on you. The meal - average, heavy in taste, scant in amount, and intensely expensive. Two of us, paid more than 500 dollars for the meals and a bottle of wine (wines start at 65), and at the end I had reflux. The cows must have gone to a very expensive spa! I wished I spent the money on food for kids in any country, including in the fortunate country that is few hundred miles south. In summary - this place sucks. It is full of hypocrisy, boring old people who wander where to spend their money in the most egoistic way, or newly rich families, who haven't quite found the way to prove themselves.
