My husband always gets a Spanish latte (even though it's not on the menu), and the staff graciously make it for him every time. That kind of personalized service really speaks to how kind and welcoming they are. The service is hands down the best -- warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The owner is lovely too, always kind and genuinely happy to see customers. Also, shoutout to their buttery croissant -- flaky, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We're so glad they're open later now. It's the perfect spot for a cozy evening coffee. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates good coffee and even better vibes!

Italian food? Yes please anytime!…read more This restaurant has been on my radar and I finally got around to trying it. I had the vegan penne and the vegan chocolate cake Firstly, I love that they have vegan and gluten free options. That's amazing and not something you often see at an Italian restaurant (atleast in my opinion). Having said that, I just found that the vegan penne lacked a little bit of flavour - I actually had to add a bunch of chilli flakes and salt that was at our table to add more flavour to it. However, the vegan chocolate cake was amazing and very delicious! The overall ambiance of the restaurant is cute too and I love that they have an outdoor seating area - perfect for the summer months facing the water. It's worth a try if you want simple Italian food, and place your try once and then move on.

I visited Balam while on vacation, and it was so good that we ended up going back a second time…read more Balam offers a unique fusion of Peruvian, Colombian, Brazilian, and Asian-inspired dishes, and they absolutely nail it. We tried a variety of dishes across both visits, and every single one was fantastic. The balance of flavors and the way different cultures are blended together is seriously impressive. Some standout dishes: the truffle ceviche was incredible, and the black tiger prawn causa had a sauce that was absolutely fantastic. The tallarín de marisco is a must-order, we loved it so much we ordered it twice. We also had the salmon anticucho and Colombian arepa, and everything was fire. Everything tasted fresh, well thought out, and perfectly executed. You can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. If you're visiting Whistler, Balam is a must-visit. It was easily one of the best restaurants on our trip to Whistler.

If you're looking to enjoy a vibrant, upscale dining experience with friends, Balam Restaurant…read moredelivers a memorable night out. We opted for family-style dining on the outdoor patio, which set the tone perfectly--great ambiance, relaxed energy, and ideal for sharing plates and good conversation. Tatiana, our server, was fantastic--pleasant, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Food came out quickly, which was impressive given the variety we ordered. We went all in on the menu: * Truffle ceviche * Scallop ceviche * Black tiger prawn causa * Amazonian fish with prawns * Bistek a la Parilla * Yuca fries Everything was fresh, well-presented, and packed with flavor. The ceviches stood out, and the Amazonian fish dish was a highlight. It's definitely on the pricier side--more than I'd typically go for--but when you're on vacation with good friends, it's one of those "worth it" experiences. Great food, great service, and a setting that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Lavender?? No, just some slightly amber gin that I can't even mix with anything. Whitley Niell makes a great Parma Lavender Gin that I first tried in a cocktail in Portsmouth UK. It isn't sold in Canada anymore unfortunately and was only for a short period. That was the reason I snapped up the Roots and Wings gin but I am resigned to using it for cleaning. I did try some of their other products and only the Abisnstine impressed me. I would have loved to have given a great review of their liquor but that wasn't possible. Drinking their cocktails is a different thing as they have a great mixologist. My advice- visit them, get a sample before buying, and buy only what tastes good to you. Everyone has different tastes.

I was the only there since it was 1pm on a Monday after all. Was about to grab to an Old Fashion after looking at their online menu, but was then told that they did flights so that's what I got. The flight; You choose six from a list of about 15. They do primarily vodka, but they do have some whiskey, gin, and even am Absinthe. I was very happy with all 6 and would order them again. I won't really go into any detail about each spirit since everyone has their own preference when it comes to alcohol. What I can say is that their Old Fashioned Spirit was my favorite. The service: The person working at the time was really friendly and helpful. Willing to answer questions about the spirits and make recommendations. The distillery: It's small and due to Covid Protocols they're only accepting 6 people in the building; however, they have a lot of outdoor space to enjoy. Their pick-up truck bar is the most eye catching so that's where we sat. I'd 100% come back here and if I lived in Langley I'd probably make this place one of my go to hangouts.

Huge shoutout to Owner-turned-Mixology-Mastermind Jeff, who absolutely crushed it behind the bar -- every cocktail and mocktail was a handcrafted work of art that could hold court in any top-tier city. We're talking serious flavour fireworks here. And April -- what can we say? Her service made us feel like VIPs who owned the joint. She read the room, anticipated every move, and wrapped the whole evening in the kind of hospitality you can't teach: pure instinct, heart, and grace. The food? Next level. Every bite was a flex of flavor and presentation. The kitchen is clearly playing in its own league, balancing creativity with pure culinary muscle. Combine that with an ambience that feels like cozy meets cool, and you've got an absolute home run. If you haven't experienced Firehouse Grill yet, fix that immediately.

We did manage to get a window seat, which was really nice. The happy hour menu looked great, and we were excited to try the food. Unfortunately, after waiting nearly an hour, our waitress came over and told us she had forgotten to put our order in. Since we were short on time, we had to leave without eating. It also seemed like service was struggling overall. The woman next to us had ordered a drink and was still waiting when we left 45 minutes later. When she asked the bartender about it, he responded that he "would see what he could do," which was a bit of a strange and unhelpful reply. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the service, despite the promising menu and nice seating.
