We had our wedding reception in the private wine cellar here. Everything was spectacular-the service, the food. Absolutely perfect!! We could not have asked for a better night! Highly recommend the champagne sabering, such a fun experience!!

Thank you to Ollie who made our experience in the ice room so memorable! We had a bachelorette group of 7 and this was one of our favourite moments from the night.

Food was amazing!! Way exceeded our expectations. The service was also immaculate. Alyssa took amazing care of us during our dinner. And Ollie in the ice room provided an amazing experience. Thank you for a wonderful time for a birthday outing. We did the lobster menu and were blown away with every single course.

This could have been a 5-star experience—the atmosphere was great and the presentation was well done—but I left feeling underwhelmed. I was expecting 4 full ounces of vodka in our tasting, but what we actually got was closer to four 1/3-ounce pours. At $70 per person, that felt disappointing and overpriced. If the pours were more generous, it might justify the cost, but as it stands it leans more toward a tourist trap than a true tasting experience.

Appies were great but then meal didn’t come for an hour and was cold. We also had to get up and serve our own wine. Quality just not there anymore sadly. Very pricy for quality and service. Sommelier was amazing.

Honestly, not happy with Barefoot Bistro.
Food was very expensive and mostly underwhelming. Lobster Bisque ($24) was good but served lukewarm. Miso Cod ($125) was tasty but didn’t like the smoky flavor (prefer Nobu style prep). Seafood platter ($134) was not worth the price at all for the quantity and quality. Martinis were $30!?
And this place is in desperate need of a renovation. Looks straight out of the 80s.
Service was good, however. But even with that we would not return.

It was my girlfriend’s and my first time at a finer dining restaurant, and I wasn’t too sure what to expect. From the moment we walked in, our hostess Kirsten made us feel comfortable—she was warm, welcoming, and truly helped set the tone for the amazing dinner we were hoping for.
The entire staff was attentive and friendly, which really elevated the whole experience.
We started with the tomato burrata, finished with the wagyu beef cheek as our main. Every dish was absolutely fantastic—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and memorable in every way.
I’d highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a top-notch meal, a wonderful atmosphere, and outstanding service.
Another great experience at the ice bar 😝 I can’t remember his name but our host was fantastic, we came in around 615 or so originally had it for 915 they were able to accommodate an earlier time for me as well & thanks for all the pictures 😁

We've been to Whistler many times, but this was our first (and last) visit to Bearfoot Bistro. My husband and I opted for the dinner prixe—he chose the tuna starter, and I went with the oysters. Big mistake.
The oysters were bad. Not just off—rotten. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until I took my first bite, masked under mignonette and horseradish. Mid-gag, I had to swallow to avoid vomiting at the table. Our server noticed something was wrong and asked if everything was okay. I told her the oysters were bad, and her response? “Ohh, does it taste super fishy? Oh, that’s the worst.” Seriously? I’m trying not to make a scene in a packed restaurant, and that’s the reaction?
She took the plate away and returned asking if I wanted a lemon or maybe a shot of tequila to wash it down. I wasn’t laughing—I just needed something to get the taste out of my mouth. I was completely turned off. Even when my entrée of king salmon and mussels arrived, I couldn’t stomach it.
Then she casually mentioned that I wasn’t the only table sending oysters back. As if that was supposed to make me feel better?
Over $300 later, no compensation, no apology—just rotten seafood and a night of gut-wrenching cramps. I spent the next morning sick and had to drive two hours home feeling miserable. I’m appalled by the food and the server’s handling of the situation. What chef serves bad oysters? You’d know the moment you cracked them open—unless they were prepped in advance and food safety wasn’t followed.
Never again.

We had a wonderful dining experience on a slow Thursday night. The service of the support staff was professional and pleasant; our waitress was excellent. We both enjoyed a Wagyu cheek dish that I will remember for a long time, and no complaints with the food.
