I've been in whistler sinse february this year and made several visits to the chop house in that time as its just across the road from where I live.  Although its a steak house - and cooks a really good prime rib (you need to be hungry to order this), its also got a great selection if you fancy a lighter bite to eat, the apertisers and especially the duck breast with poached pears and salad, this is delicious! The place also has great deals for locals, pizza and beer night for $10 is becoming my affordable weekly meal out.  

If you want to lounge and chill there is an upstairs bar with huge TV screens to watch almost any game you fancy, but for the more formal night (out with the girls/lads or someone special) its got a large restaurant area downstairs.  

Only down side is when they have live music, its always great but usually super loud, dont take a date to this night, you wont get much conversation in :) but the staff are all really friendly and always happy to see a familiar face!
