My girlfriend and I had a great experience at 21 Steps. We were seated at the bar almost immediately, and the service was excellent from the start. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and had a really fun energy. Our bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the evening even better. We ordered the bacon-wrapped filet with chipotle butter, vegetables, and mashed potatoes -- and it was absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and one of the best dishes we've had EVER. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Good service, casual dining venue in the heart of Whistler village. Called to make reservations and got one right away. Second floor so you have to walk 21 steps to upstairs. Hostess and servers are very nice and accommodating. Food Menu is relatively simple but got enough choices for most people , drink menu is extensive. Water is refilled readily. Ambiance is noisy but that is good for chatting after a day of shredding snow. We ordered local (BC) draft pale ale and lager to go with rib eye, lamb shank , short rib and 21 salads with warm bread and butter. The side veggies are the same baby carrots green been and broccoli. Lamb came with rice, others came with mashed potatoes. Lamb is fall-of-the bone good but short rib and steak are below average. Salad and warm bread are at the good mark. Took off one star because of the chewy steak. Else we have a good time. read more

EPIC - This is a restaurant that never disappoints! Stellar menu using delicious ingredients. The best Whistler has to offer in my books. Don't miss this culinary gem. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The stomper quaint with wood rustic finishing, I love it. read more

Food was good but overpriced. I ordered the lamb shank and my friend had the New York strip steak. The lamb came with a sauce that was very bland, at a minimum it needed salt. It was served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli/carrots. The cocktails were well made but also over priced. The ambiance was nice, service was excellent and our waiter was extremely professional, friendly and knew the menu inside and out. This place was recommended by the bartender at Stinky's (just down the street) as a favorite place for locals. If I had to do the evening all over again, I would have stayed at Stinky's and had dinner there. read more

I had a nice dinner at 21 Steps Kitchen & Bar in Whistler (yep there really are 21 star steps to the second floor) and would definitely recommend it for a cozy night out. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between casual and upscale with warm wood accents, soft lighting, and big windows that overlook the village give it a welcoming alpine feel (try to get a window seat). I ordered the salmon, which was nicely cooked with a crisp sear on the outside and tender, flaky flesh inside. The seasoning was good, letting the freshness of the fish shine without overpowering it. The sides were equally well done, with vibrant veggies and a light, flavorful sauce that tied the dish together. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and our server made great drink suggestions to pair with the meal. It's a great spot for a relaxed yet elevated dinner in Whistler Village. read more

We found this place randomly while walking through the village. We sat at the bar and had some amazing food. I was very surprised at the chili shrimp. Usually chili shrimp is red, but this one was green. I wish we ordered two plates of it and I especially liked how it was served on top of thin tortilla chips. read more

Went to 21 Steps on a recent trip to Whistler. We both had the prefix dinners. Food was great and they give you full portions, not paired down. Service was good, attentive without being overbearing. It has made it into our regular rotation. Recommend reservations. read more

Went here for BF's birthday. Acoustics I. The Attic make conversations loud. The folks at the bar talking to the bartender were really loud. We ordered the Riblwrs and Mussels for Appetizers and the braised short rib and BC LingCod. All were generous portions and delicious. Service was a bit slow as there was only one service. Overall 3 stars because of the echo chamber in The Attic. Otherwise 4 stars for food. read more

This place was highly recommended and it seems super popular so take this with a grain of salt I know that being from the states the flavors I like don't always extend to other places and you'll see this in most of my reviews of restaurants around the area and that's that all the food tasted good I just felt it was all quite a bit under seasoned. The servers were fantastic and the atmosphere was great. read more

Kind of an upscale steakhouse feel with good all-around food, friendly service and decent cocktails. We came here as a family for a nice meal out while skiing at Whistler and this didn't disappoint although it wasn't a knockout either. The food selection was broad and pretty good. My daughter got pasta and she can be picky. My son (who can also be picky) loved the filet mignon. I got the salmon and my wife got the beef short rib. It was all good, but none of it really blew us away and the price tag of CA$250 for a drink, four entrees and a dessert was pretty pricey. Still as a resort town vacation dinner out, it wasn't bad. My wife also got the old man winter cocktail, which was a well-above average old fashioned. The family shared the Belgian chocolate brownie with caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream and peanut brittle. The brownie was really quite good and dark chocolate vs. something sweeter and less bitter. The caramel and the peanut brittle upped the ante some as well. It was a dessert worth splurging on. The bad parts were parking and that everything was incredibly salty. Parking I guess isn't their fault, but it's still annoying. We first hoped to be able to take the bus into the village, but the bus didn't show up for 30 minutes and we bailed only to see it drive by as we walked away. Then we had to park in one of the lots on the edge of the village and walk over. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us as a "'must try" from a server at another restaurant while in Whistler. The salmon main was really yummy and worth the trip just for that dish. The bacon wrapped fillet appetizer was really fatty and I had a bit of a hard time with the meat. My husband liked the fried goat cheese but wasn't crazy about his main dish. We had another appetizer I can't recall which one. My children had ice cream. They didn't have a kids menu when we were there, so the kids had ice cream as the menu wasn't really suited for them. We were sat upstairs, mostly alone, so it was kind of weird and felt like we were in an attic and all the action was taking place downstairs. Totally fine, would possibly go again read more

The service here was friendly and fast and the restaurant was pretty quiet when we went. The pizza was alright, I really enjoyed the crust on it. All together it was a pleasant time. read more

4.5 stars We weren't able to get a reservation so we arrived at the restaurant right at opening, and there was already a line formed outside! They state that they keep 1/3 of the restaurant available to walk-ins, so we were able to get a seat at the bar. We ordered off the prix fixe menu. The best dishes were the appetizers - the fried chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside, and the chili prawns had excellent flavor. The main dishes were HUGE portions, and reminded me of catered wedding dishes. The chocolate brownie dessert was great, although they had to bring out this dish 3 times before finally getting it right (without nuts due to an allergy). I would skip the chocolate mousse and raspberry sorbet - the mousse tasted more like supermarket pudding. The cocktails (and the bartender) were fantastic - probably if I were to come back, I would just get drinks at the bar and skip the food. read more

Very quaint spot in downtown Whistler! Everything was great from start to finish including our service from our waitress. Food was tasty and well prepared. Great selection! Definitely recommend' read more

The food here was amazing! Since it is in the village it was hard to find while driving in the rain but we made it just in time before they gave up our reservation. That is our fault but luckily we still held onto the table. I was so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Our waitress was also amazing. Super attentive and gave us great recommendations. The pork shoulder pasta is creamy with juicy pork meat that pairs well together. The red curry mussels were shared as an appetizer and we drank every last bit. We even ordered french fries to dip them in. The fries (no picture) are perfectly sized and super crispy. Their other side options were mashed potatoes or veggies and honestly they were all great. To finish off the night we shared a blueberry cheesecake and it was the perfect end to this lovely dinning experience. **also not pictured by the bison and salmon were also amazing choices. I did not return but the party I was with went back the next day to get bison again.*** 10/10 If ever in the whistler area for a few days, I would return. read more

Great food paired with even better service is hard to top. We started with the 21 Steps salad and the goat cheese stood out. Any critique we could serve up on the salad was quelled by the goat cheese. Add more of this or that... doesn't matter. Goat cheese rocked. Mains were the also great. Get the prawns and scallops with mash because you have to sop up as much of that sauce as possible because it's amazing. Our waitress recommended it to me when I asked if I should go seafood or steak. More on her soon. The bolognese was well constructed. Got it with penne but don't do that. It was still great, good penne, but it needs pappardelle; they make it so get it with that. Drinks are spot on. Our server was top notch. I'd go back even if the food was junk if she was serving. Best way to describe it is that she treated us like we were having a meal she made for us at her house, and we were friends. Seems she was covering the entire upstairs as well without stress. Great place. Check it out. read more

We come to Whistler once a year and have been for 10 years. We also make sure to always come here at least once each visit Every time the food is amazing regardless of what we get and the service is great This time we got the prefix menu and ordered mussels (good), spaghetti (good), chicken (good), filet mignon (amazing like butter), chocolate mouse (good) and chocolate cake (good) We have a lot of food allergies and they went out of their way to make sure they were accommodated and everything came out exactly right. And they were happy to help!! The ambiance is very nice and the tables are nicely spaced so you feel like you have privacy read more

We made reservations for a Saturday night at 7:15. We arrived at around 7 and luckily, they were able to seat us a bit early. If you can avoid it, try not to sit near the window at this time (at least during the summer). This is when the sun is going down, and those seats get VERY hot, even with the shades drawn. But onto the food. To start, we had the bacon wrapped beef filets (with horseradish aioli). The beef normally would have been too overcooked for me, but since I'm pregnant and need to eat well done steak anyway, it was fine. The horseradish aioli was a nice touch. For my entrée, I had the Shellfish Pasta (prawns, scallops and mussels in a white wine, fennel clam nectar sauce). You can choose from penne or linguine. I wish there were more options, but it was fine. To be honest, I was expecting the dish to be basic but I actually really liked it. The prawns and scallops were cooked perfectly and were nice and plump. It was also a huge portion. Hubby had the Baby Back Ribs, which comes with your choice of fries, baked potatoes, or mashed potatoes. The best part about the dish were the fries but overall, it was pretty mid. The ribs tasted old, like they had been reheated. Although, they were very nice because he had just went to the restroom as the food was coming out and they asked if we wanted them to keep his plate warm for the time being. Overall, it seems like some dishes are hit or miss but the prices are very reasonable, considering how expensive everything is in Whistler in general. read more

Came in for our Thanksgiving Dinner and it did not disappoint! While we didn't opt for the traditional meal, which they had as an offer, we thoroughly enjoyed our salmon and pastas. I ordered the smoked chicken pasta (minus the bell peppers because of an allergy) and it was fantastic. My kiddos smashed on the noodles and tomato sauce, and my husband said the salmon was one of the best he'd ever had. The portions were very generous but we were hungry so it was appreciated. And the crème brûlée was perfection! The atmosphere was great, we got a nice booth, and the staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this place enough and we'll definitely come back again. Thank you for making our holiday memorable! read more

The service here was really great, especially for a larger and rowdier group. You can definitely expect to quality service visiting here. The menu was briefer, they had a separate desert menu and a separate drink menu. The drink menu was quite large, and they do have signature cocktails. All of the cocktails sampled were a bit too heavy handed for us. For example, the fig and absinthe one tasted more like the alcohol and lemon instead. The food was good and the Thai red curry mussels were perfect. This place was easy to locate, in the center of the village. the interior was clean and was a loungy modern vibe. read more

21 Steps Kitchen & Bar - Gluten free seafood pasta - Steakhouses Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

We found this place last minute in Whistler and boy were we happy about it. I really appreciated that they had multiple well thought out vegan options, all of which were very yummy. The green curry and the fried tofu were definite favorites. I'm still thinking and drooling over the vegan cheesecake, which tasted as bright and fresh as it was comforting. Both my partner and I felt the portions were generous and we left with ample leftovers. If you can, get a window seat, as it's fun to people watch and overlook the downtown area as you eat. Great service - family friendly. Vegan friendly. All while still being a good date night spot with quality food and drinks. read more

Our first time to whistler. We tried as much food as we had time for... we split the gluten-free Bolognese and Caesar salad. The food was good but the service was top notch. It was refreshing to be around workers that really enjoy their jobs. What a difference in the experience when you're treated so very well... read more

We ordered the New York steak, pot roast and 21 salad. All were good and would definitely eat it again, however food was not comparable to a typical steakhouse when the food was priced similarly.

Restaurant sits in the middle of Whistler Village and yes you do actually have to climb 21 steps to go up to the restaurant. Food was amazing and came out in a timely manner. They had a 3 course meal special menu. Servers were friendly and attentive. Overall an amazing restaurant to check out if you are in staying in Whistler. They do take reservations which is recommended as they can get crowded during tourist months. read more

Our fourth time at 21 steps. In my opinion the best local restaurant in Whistler. Always great food, always feels homemade with a great staff. Amazing menu- I always leave wanting to come back so I can try a new plate next time. This place beats the chains hands down. read more

Beautiful restaurant, I loved the atmosphere and the dimness inside - It gave a homey feeling. Food was great, we shared the mussels in a red sauce and I got the chicken with penne and white sauce. Wasn't too thick and creamy and the peppers in it gave it a good taste! Also tried one of their specialty cocktails which was pretty strong but still very good. The service was excellent as well. read more

This was in the top 2 meals I've had in Whistler! I've heard great things about this place over the years and was happy I finally got to try it, luckily on a day they had a couple specials. Sunday through Thursday they have buy two small plates and get one Plate free or a few course meal (1 main 1 small dish and 1 dessert or coffee for $44 which is a steal). Everything we tried had good flavor though some things were a little over cooked but for the price and quality, I was very pleased. My mussels had a great flavor and came with a side of bread to top up the broth. So good. Pork riblets were a little overcooked and on the dry side, but was still enjoyed and had good flavor. I got the short rib which was tender, and a HUGE portion and came with some nice veggies and mashed potatoes. I was so full from the small plates that I couldn't finish this but I had enough left over for another meal. The bison steak was hit or miss - the thickness of the cut varied from thin (overcooked and rubbery) and super thick (very very rare) but the middle was a good medium rare.. It came with the same veggies as my short rib and the flavors grew on us with every bite. Desserts: creme brulee was standard and good. But the brownie stole the show. I am normally not a chocolate nor brownie fan but the waitress recommended it so had to try it and we both agreed it was the best brownie we've ever had. It had great texture, was crisp on the outside and light vs dense, had great flavor especially with the peanut brittle at the base of it and of course made even better with some ice cream. So good and very happy with how this meal came out. Will definitely recommend and return again! read more

Everything about going for dinner here is so satisfying! We go every Whistler trip and never disappoints.

Discovered this place a few years back and we've come whenever we take a short trip to Whistler. Always great food and fast, friendly and attentive service, despite being full and booked out. Do make sure you book at least a day in advance or you'll be eating at 9pm, unless you're up for bar seating as they have limited walk in. There's an array of interesting options on the menu. We had beef sirloin wrapped in bacon and chili prawns with a chimichurri sauce and wonton crisps for starters along with the half chicken dish and pork schnitzel. The chicken was really good, juicy, tender and full of flavor. Pork schnitzel was tasty too, stuffed with cheese, apple and arugula. Even the kids ate really well, with a mini steak dinner and a large portion of spaghetti Bolognese. Book this one in advance, it'll be worth it! read more

I got a half order of the twenty one salad and the ribeye steak medium rare - it was cooked perfectly and loved the crispy onions on top. I was sat immediately at the bar as a solo traveler and the bartenders were extremely attentive. I would definitely make a reservation if I was in a bigger party.

Pretty good! Came here off of Yelp and didn't disappoint. Service was great- our waiter was excellent. Ambiance is so cozy-- we were upstairs in "the attic" and loved it. I had the bolognese (pictured) which was hit or miss-- fine, but nothing special. Family has the braised short rib and liked it but again, nothing special. Desserts were delicious: raspberry sorbet and mousse combo and cheesecake were better than the entrees. Overall good spot! read more

What a wonderful place to take the family. The restaurant is very nice and clean... loved the ambiance! Our waitress was wonderful and so sweet and was ready to answer any questions or bring us anything we needed. Then there is the food... we did a couple of appetizers and main courses all around for our party of 6 and the food was outstanding... steaks we're cooked to perfection and everyone was so happy with their orders. I also recommend trying their specialty cocktails... we had a great time trying new cocktails and passing them around the table. Go here... you will love it! read more

Had a great meal here the atmosphere was nice. You could also look out the windows into the village. service was terrific.

Meh. The kitchen is open to 11pm but they don't put much effort in meals after 8. I sat at the bar and ordered the pork. The bartender told me it would take longer than usual to cook. Fine. Then 10 minutes later he says they are out of the pork chop. Shouldn't he have known this from the beginning? So I get the lamb instead. Bland, no flavor and small portions. They put huge bones on your plate to make it look impressive but it is a con, just like this restaurant. This was one of the higher rated options in the village and it didn't live up to expectations. Go to one of the more standard options instead. read more
