Came here for dinner and overall had a really good experience! The Korean fried chicken burger was excellent -- the chicken was crispy and the sauce inside the burger tied everything together perfectly. I also tried the ahi tuna bowl and loved it. It had such a great balance of flavors and textures -- fresh ahi tuna, watermelon radish(love how unique this addition was!), carrots, pickled ginger, and seaweed salad. The mix of vegetables with the tuna made it feel light but still filling. Definitely something I'd order again. We ordered a side of poutine and it did not disappoint. The fries, gravy, and cheese curds were all cooked well and blended together perfectly. They also had a great deal on pitchers of beer, which is always a win. I ordered a Shirley Temple -- it tasted more like orange juice and grenadine than the classic version, but it was still good. Service was just okay. The bartender took a while to come over and take my order at the bar, but once we were helped, everything moved smoothly. One of the highlights was the outdoor patio seating -- such a great spot to sit and watch the Fire & Ice show. Overall, solid food, good vibes, and a fun place to hang out! read more

Make sure to head over right after your done on the slopes as it does get crowded! We didnt have to wait too long for just two of us, but it was fun vibes inside and outside. Service was great! They have good non-alcoholic beer selection for those who don't/can't drink. Food was super tasty and came out quickly! Will definitely be back! read more

Didn't ask about nut allergies for the mini donuts, and I had no issues. We arrived essentially at kitchen closing (around 6:05PM) and the staff at first did not let us in, but then said we could try ordering at the bar and they were fine letting us do a to-go order. I only came here because I was leaving the next morning and I had a lift voucher to redeem, as I spent over 15+ minutes on a gondola. The resort gives you a $10 voucher that can be spent at certain restaurants, and this is one of them. I ordered 12 mini donuts to go and they were baked in about 10 minutes. The donuts were crispy and dusted with sugar and cinnamon (?). Overall, a nice sweet way to end a ski day. read more

Quick seating, live music, and cozy heated outdoor seating with blankets available - great après-ski vibes. This review is just based on the poutine and service. We only wanted a small bite before dinner, but the experience was underwhelming. Our server wasn't particularly friendly nor attentive as she disappeared after dropping off our waters. The person who brought our poutine (probably a food runner) walked off so fast she didn't hear me ask for ketchup, so we had to flag someone down for it, then had to flag down our server later to get our check. Ambiance-wise, the place was lively, and I'd come back to try something else. But I get poutine almost everywhere I can in Whistler, and for $27, I expected more cheese curds and pulled pork. We didn't even finish the leftover fries. read more

Came here after finishing up a run down the slopes for a bathroom break, but ended up staying for drinks. My friend and I sat at the bar, thinking that it was going to be a quick drink and leave, but we ended up staying longer because the bartender Jimmy was such a fun guy to talk to! He was so helpful and attentive even as it got busier as the day went on. As more of my friends joined us at the bar, he continue to friendly and attentive to us all. Everyone at Garibaldi was so nice! Jimmy and George were our two main bartenders, but everyone definitely was hospitable. The ambience was nice. Earlier in the afternoon it wasn't too loud or too quiet, but just right. And as the day turned closer to evening and more people came in, it became even livelier with DJ playing music. It definitely gave a fun vibe for a Friday evening. For food, we order the classic poutine and the butter chicken poutine. Both were delicious! It definitely filled us up and allowed us to drink more. Overall, my experience at Garibaldi was a very positive one and I definitely would recommend people to go there during their visit to Whistler. I definitely will go back there the next time I'm in Whistler. read more

"Your love is liftin me higher, than I've ever been lifted before So keep it up, quench my desire and I'll be at your side forever more" (Rita Coolidge) The Garibaldi Lift Company did a nice job with our convention group's dinner. We were seated in their upper patio, so we had a great view of Whistler Village and the mountain bikers zooming down the hill. We started off with some group appetizers in the form of big platters of chicken, waffle fries, poke, and sushi. My dinner was an excellent Mixed Rice Bibimbap Bowl with shredded rib eye steak, shiitake and pacific mushrooms, carrots, napa cabbage, sautéed spinach, kimchi, peppers and a delicious green tea infused egg! The bowl was served with a side of Gochujang Korean BBQ sauce to ramp things up a bit . The dish was $26 CAD. Service was great and the staff did a wonderful job taking care of our big group. All in all, the place is gorgeous, the views are awesome, and the food and staff was top notch. What's more to like? read more

We came here twice while on our trip: once to drink and the other to eat after we saw the tasty menu. Both experiences were great. From the hostess to our server, we couldn't have asked for a better time. We were able to snag a spot by the outdoor fire pits both times! And we had them to ourselves which was even nicer. Round one for drinks we just wanted a nice spot to watch the snow fall. I felt really comfortable just having a cocktail here. Some places make you feel guilty for not ordering more than just one drink while you sit for hours. Today we came back and were seated again in the same fire pits both times outside. This time we ordered food and drinks! The drinks themselves are good, nothing special when it's beer and a margarita. However lunch was delicious. We shared both the flatbread pizza (nothing added to it) and the ahi poke bowl. Too bad we tried the food on our last day, I would have came back to try other items on the menu. And once again our service was spectacular and we couldn't stop talking about how friendly everyone was. read more

Service could be improved but the yummy food and ambience made up for it. We stopped in the grab a bite and watch the college football playoffs. When we were seated no one ever came to get our orders. We ended up walking to the bar and ordering food and drinks through the bartender. Very very nice guy who helped us out. My husband's hot drink came out cold so they got him a new one no questions asked. Food was delicious! read more

Great Aprés Ski at Whistler. Delicious cocktails and a great Asian inspired menu. We had the Ahi Tostones - plantain chips, fresh ahi tuna, ginger, pineapple, jalapeno, purple cabbage, and a wasabi aioli. Side of guacamole and don't forget the salsa verde. Trust me on this one. Nice vibe after a long day of skiing. Service was attentive and engaging. read more

My girls and I spotted this restaurant right before we went up the mountain to go zip lining and made sure to visit them for lunch later that day. The food was delicious, the environment was great, but sadly our server was kind of rude and provided us with the bare minimum service. I tried the GLC Bacon Burger $22.75 and Bulldog $22.50. The burger was served on a toasted Portuguese Bun & served with Crispy Waffle fries. It was by far one of the best Waffle Fries I've had in BC Verdict: I'll be back to try more dishes and enjoy the view and ambiance of the restaurant...hopefully we won't have the same server again read more

Good food and drink selections but staff is not very attentive. View is great since it's on the mountain.

Great location in a comfortable setting of dark wood and a few fireplaces in the main dining room as well as some really cool fire pits on the balcony. The food was average bar food and was quite pricey. All the sandwiches and handhelds are heavy items as they got rid of items like the Lettuce Chicken Wraps as they were too time consuming to make. The Pulled Pork Sandwich for $24 is very steep as was the Brazilian Choripan for $23. We might consider going back but would only order a bowl of the amazing Wild Mushroom & Truffle Soup. read more

Garibaldi Lift Co. is a great place to go for après. My friends and I came here, and we enjoyed the truffle fries, ahi poke bowls, ciders, and salted caramel hot chocolate- yum! It's good to be aware that the fireside tables on the mountainside have a strictly enforced 90-minute limit. We started out mountainside and were the first customers in for the morning. I don't know what the deal was, but our server had an attitude and an edge. We were polite, quiet, and the first customers of the day. Oh well! After our 90 minutes were up (she let us know beforehand) we went inside to eat more, and our server inside was phenomenal. He had a great attitude and sense of humor, and his customer service skills made up for the earlier servers' lack of skills in these areas! Overall, Garibaldi's is a solid choice. The food options are good, they have a wide variety of drinks, and the ambiance is cozy and chill. read more

Beautiful location in Whistler village. Seating was fine although fire tables are limited. Our drinks were delicious (warm coffees with baileys) and hot apple cider. We opted for the waffles fries and Gorgonzola dip and an order of truffle fries. Both were great. Service wasn't so good but overall vibe was cool. Be sure to make reservations if you want the fire tables though! read more

Monday 1200 We had no wait! We also sat outside and it got progressively colder and colder even under the heat lamps. There were blankets available, but honestly, you've got to look cool, you know. I did venture inside for the restroom and was flooded by a wave of warmth and comfort and did not want to come back out. I got the mediterranean goat cheese terrine and the Canadian Caesar. The terrine was excellent. I would come back just for this! The honey and balsamic vinegar reduction went so well together and the sugar on the bread was the best idea. The Caesar was damn salty and I was told caesars are usually salty and I should have gotten something with tomato juice, though the hostess did bring me a thing of tomato juice to pour into my caesar. I can tell you with all the caesars I've ordered the past few days none have been as salty. Overall a nice meal to tide me over just right amount before more slope adventures. read more

Wow! I'm surprised the reviews are not that good! This place was amazing in my opinion!!! I came here on a riding break for lunch, on a warm August afternoon.

Folks, I wouldn't let the mediocre reviews deter you from this place... it's pretty good and I'm impressed. read more

Great location. Food is pretty good too. Bummer our kids couldn't come in for dinner hour. It turns into a bar.

Apres ski, this was a ton of fun. We came after a full day of skiing on a Tuesday and got a table outside. Plenty of heat from the heatlamps and fires nearby. Great local beer selections, friendly service, and then, the ultimate nachos! For $33CAD, it could've used a tad more beef, but otherwise, was loaded with all the goodies you would expect. And they kept the guacamole and salsa on the side so it wouldn't get the chips too soggy! Nice! Really enjoyed this place. Great drinks, great location, great food. Thumbs up. read more

It's such a shame the service and food here sucks because the restaurant is situated in a picturesque location and their beautiful fire pit seats are nice and warm in the winter. The fire pit seats was what attracted us because it was gloomy and chilly. We sat by a fire pit. The view was gorgeous. The table was dirty, the server who cleared up dishes from previous customers never bothered to wipe it clean. She was rushing and had nothing friendly about her at all. It made me wonder why she worked in this job. I like to be served by this who are friendly and take customer service seriously. We ordered a drink and waited about 5 minutes before she was in view so I could ask for a straw. She acknowledge I asked for it but never came back. When another server was in view, I asked for the same and she came back with it after a few minutes. It took so long to place our orders. Again, she stood there looking at us as if we were idiots because we were changing our minds about what to eat. I can appreciate it can be tiring to be in your feet all day but people have a freedom or choice and can change their minds whenever they please. Our food arrived after about 20-30 minutes. Firstly, the server took it to the wrong table and couldn't figure out where we were seated. When I saw that the table it was taken to said it wasn't theirs, I said that looked like ours and it was brought to our table. The cutlery was dirty. I waited several minutes to get the servers attention. Once I gave the cutlery to her, it took several minutes for a clean one to arrive. The food sucked. It lacked flavour, texture and was plain boring. Neither was not worth $21 bucks! I had real concerns about my food so I questioned what was in it. They assured me I was what I ordered but I was inclined to believe it was something else. They took it off my bill but I barely ate any of the main dish. I am still questioning what I ate. This place could be great if servers had better attitude and smiled at least once in the 1-2 hours that customers dined there. Because of their poor service, I never tipped them and I never will for such poor service. You simply can't expect a reward when you don't perform. I will never go back to this place because it is quite deceiving. It looks gorgeous but it lacks in service and food. If I were to provide some constructive criticism, I suggest training your servers about general customer service and basic table cleaning and hygiene. Don't rush; clean tables properly before seating customers. Revise your menu to reflect tasty and flavourful dishes. read more

Te GLC as Garibaldi Lift Company is commonly referred to is another popular Apres Ski place at the base of Whistler Mountain. The outside patio does not seem to get as crowded as The Longhorn, though this may be a factor of their lack of heat lamps and inability to compete with the outdoor music scene at the Longhorn apres-ski. Indoors can be a different story, especially when there is football on, which can lead to a big crowd (even more so when the Seahawks play). Although it is a spacious place, seating can sometimes be at a premium. If you're looking for a game or better food than the Longhorn, the GLC is likely to be your spot as soon as you get off the slopes. Food-wise, they have great soups and tasty burgers. The portions are ample and they offer some unique dips that looked just as good as the food that I did get. On Sunday night (and presumably other nights), they feature a cover band that rocks out and has the crowd jamming and jumping. The frequent giveaways during the show too made for an added experience as we won a free beer as a result of our pop quiz knowledge. A very fun atmosphere for both entertainment, dining and watching games, with some good beers to suit. read more

Out here for 6 days. Spent 6,000 US dollars in Whistler and an establishment has the nerve to restrict to 90 min for our seats, which they didn't tell us till we were at the end of our time. Extremely unhappy with their service. Good luck with your tourism when you've had multiple terrible ski seasons. I wouldn't recommend coming out here to anyone. Everything was pleasant till we ran into this restaurant. read more

Gotta appreciate a place that serves drinks but also remains family-friendly during apres hours (unlike pretty much all the other drinkeries in the village. Looking at you Longhorn.) Didn't get drinks this time because I was with family, but the coffee and poutine were solid. Drink menu seems solid, with a couple pretty interesting cool-weather choices (Irish coffee, mulled wine, etc.) Will definitely make it a point to check this place out again next time I'm in Whistler. read more

The only good thing about this place is location and service was okay. Food wasn't good.

By far ... way far, worst restaurant I have been to in Whistler!! Okay so was not expecting amazing Araxi quality service but was not expecting this bad!! We had a long day hiking, followed by a heavy lunch so decided to nix our dinner plans and just chill in the village. Decided upon this place for a quick drink as it was prime for soaking up the atmosphere . We could not get a front table as those were reserved which is understandable though I did find it curious that one table never showed , one ordered nothing but water and the third refrained from ordering anything at all ( both parties were there over an hour ) ; while yet another came with their own Starbucks ?' Most places would not allow a non paying group to occupy any spot let alone a prime one unless the order was just that slow which is quite possible but in this note still got seated immediately outside with great views which garnered the one star I guess We ordered beers ( which were awful - probably worst IPA I have tried - not fault of restaurant, just a mediocre selection )- and sodas while we held off on food until we figured out what we wanted but by the time we were asked again drinks were gone and we were ready to leave which we told the waitress but 20 minutes later we were still waiting as was the poor group next to us who were complaining that they were starving and needing their nachos which they then attempted to give to us!! At this point we attempted to flag down several members of staff , all ignored us so I was tempted to leave cash on the table and hoped it covered it - we finally got the waitresses attention and she asked us to wait - she was lucky we did not take off at this point as 30 mins to pay is ridiculous!! Finally got the heck out of there and gladly so! If you want cheap booze and lots of it and have time to wait it's for you but families should take advantage of all the great spots that Whistler has offer and leave this to the kids who are happy to have booze served in beach buckets and really bad service read more

Located right at the base of Whistler mountain, above the Garibaldi ski rental centre, next to the Village Gondola/ Fitzsimmons express lift, this is perfect spot to chill after a day on the slopes. With mountain views and a fireplace to chill by, it won't disappoint. The service was prompt and food was good. We order the Fish tacos and Yam fries. The Mulled wine - a mixture of hot Merlot, fruit juices and cinnamon, was fantastic! read more

My instructor suggested this place for our lunch break since she can reserve a table for her class for early lunch (11.30-11.45). The 1st day I ordered fish taco appetizer as my lunch. It came with 3 tacos and avocados doesn't cost extra. It was decent. The fish was fresh but it smelled a little, and I didn't like any smell for my fish. The 2nd day I ordered ahi tuna roll. It was amazing. Totally made up for the bad fish from yesterday. I would come back again for this dish. My plate was clean and sparkling after I ate everything including the Asian inspired coleslaw. read more

We had some technical difficulties with reserving our skiing at Whistler, so when we had talked to Customer Service and had our issues resolved, they were kind enough to give us plenty of food vouchers to cover our meals. We decided to come try this restaurant, since it was close to our hotel and didn't seem crowded. Our waitress was from Australia and was such a great server! We were able to get a seat by the window with a view of the fire pits outside and the lifts. They had great drink specials, and all the food options looked amazing. We decided to try the Canadian dip sandwich and the poke bowl, and we were not disappointed by either. They were beautifully plated, and they tasted amazing, considering this was what Americans would consider bar food. It's unlike any bar food we have had before! It tasted delicious, and we were thoroughly impressed. The dark and stormy drinks we were ordered were crafted with care and didn't have too much or too little alcohol. Overall, we were impressed and enjoyed our experience here. read more

I don't know why this place is reviewed so poorly, it has the best drink menu of all the places at the base of the mountain! Garibaldi's has a great view, as it's upstairs and looks over the village as well as the mountain! This is the ONLY place in the village that has mulled wine with just TWO ingredients - wine and brandy (well, okay, mulling spices too). Everywhere else serves it with fruit juice mixed in (bleeeecchhh)! We popped in on a Sunday afternoon for apres ski and they had a pretty legit little live band playing. I had a mulled wine, an apple something or other (hot water, goldschlagger, butteripple schnapps?, and maybe apple whiskey??). That thing was DELISH and not overly sweet. On to the food - we ordered two VERY opposite things - the butter chicken poutine and the superfood salad. Both seriously incredible. Yes, it was expensive - but come on, you're at the base of the mountain, it's to be expected. This place is awesome. FYI - no dogs on patio unless they are service animals, but the guys were super nice about it. read more

Went here today with a group of 8 people. I have two small children with severe food allergies. We had just arrived into town and the kids were starving and weren't able to wait to eat. We were able to find a pizza joint with ingredients their little bodies could handle and they each had a slice of pizza that they could eat while walking to find a proper restaurant for the rest of the adults and for them to order more food. We found Garibaldi and the kids had maybe 3 bites a piece that they had left to eat of their pizza. The waitress was lovely and told us that it was their policy not to bring other food into their restaurant. I understood and she went to talk to the manager to see if they could make an exception. Jacki the manager came to our table guns blazing with the worst attitude and power trip. She informed us that the children not only had to leave the table, they had to wait at the bottom of the stairs way outside the restaurant . I told her that they can't be left unattended and she told me to leave too. God forbid we waited outside the restaurant at the top of the stairs. It had to be the bottom. She was extremely rude and abrupt and seemed so irritated for no reason. I can't help but wonder if it was because we were the only people of color in the entire restaurant. Then she stood over us, and told us to leave right away, and wouldn't leave our table until we left. I tried to appeal to her sense of kindness for a mother with small children with significant food issues (especially because they would have been done with their food in two mins), but she wouldn't leave our table. I've never met a human being with such a lack of empathy and a need to intimidate . The entire group left the restaurant and you lost our business. Every parent knows it's not easy to travel with children with food issues. Jacki could have conveyed her point about the restaurant policy with some sort of kindness or empathy. She has no business managing a staff in the service industry. Shame on you Jacki! read more

Holy Cow! Arrived in Whistler last night. Walking the Village and finding few places were open I decided to check and see if Garibaldi was open for lunch. They were!
