First off, the moment we walked in the door the whole vibe was spot on. It was actually snowing when we got there! Our server kicked ass and I wish I remembered his name because I only want to dine with him moving forward! He truly made the experience!!! All the food was good, Only missing Calamari from the menu - only downside... I cant think of one complaint, Maybe if I have to come up with one - Only one stall in the bathroom, LOL But the service, the food, the ambience was 100!!! The food was soo good, everything was fresh, the drinks were great! Will definitely add to the rotation of regular places, going to Daniellas next week next for my Birthday as we havent been there yet either! Cant wait!

Excellent ambiance and the food speaks for itself! Read on for the deets!!! Started with the blue cheese stuffed dates that Michael Petrigno aka What Would You Eat Today Sir loves and they were excellent! Wrapped in n bacon with a balsamic reduction that takes your tastebuds to a smokey realm of happiness! Great texture with each bite! Next the burrata which was like a posturepedic pillow of deliciousness laying upon some diced tomatoes with what I believe was a balsamic reduction drizzle and possibly pesto... all I know is I never wanted it to stop! For the entree I went pan seared scallops with white truffle whipped potatoes, and a corn veloute... no chincing on scallops here! There was plenty and the combination of flavors was exquisite! The truffle potatoes were amazing and I could have swam in the corn veloute! I also got to try a bite of the swordfish and holy heck that was amazing as well! Everything cooked perfectly! Last but certainly not least was this amazing chocolate cake served warm with vanilla ice cream & sea salt caramel sauce! Amazing bites that were so melt in your mouth delicous! Matt and Jean (owners) blew my night out of water and I know they will for you too! Life is short so enjoy a meal with loved ones

We went into the Double Bull and saw just how much space it has. The bar area isn't huge, but it was decent and the TV's, showing a baseball game at the time were large, but silent so that people could actually talk to each other. My brother and I each ordered the fried chicken sandwich.... And they were awesome: far better that those fast-food places and better than "Flip the Bird". The fries were fresh and served hot and the sandwiches themselves were stacked high with tomatoes and pickles, as I had ordered. ($17.00). We were very pleased with the lunch and would go back in a heart-beat. With sodas, taxes, and tip, the whole bill was $54.00

From the moment we sat down on the patio on a warm summer afternoon, everything just clicked. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to chat with The wine deserved its own shoutout. We all ordered the same glass, and after our first glass we opted for the bottle. We also ordered the octopus, potatoes, multi-herbed yogurt, pastas, and the fish special. Every plate was thoughtfully presented, the ingredients were incredibly fresh. Bonus points for having leftovers from the appetizers. Expect to spend around $75+ per person, but for the quality, experience, and execution, it was justified. Restaurants using local/seasonal ingredients will always be my favorite, and Settler is exactly the kind of place I'm excited to return to. Now I just need to a little self-control next time to save room for dessert.

His recs were spot on - starting with the wine. For our appetizers, we had the oysters and the whipped ricotta. They were incredible!! For our main, we had dry aged ribeye special for two. Oh my god - that was to die for! The side salad and potatoes were equally amazing. All in all, an excellent night.

I ordered the steak tips and my only complaint if I was to have one was the limited options for the side. It was onion rings or rice . It came with a salad that was lame ... I'd drop the salad for a veggie or sauteed onions and grilled black green peppers . I ordered onion rings and excellent onion rings. I really wanted cream spinach, garlic spinach or mashed, or baked potato or corn , carrots anything? Grilled garlic green beans even better with my tips . Now, the steak tips are real deal tender , nice teriyaki I think was marinade . Huge portion in terms of lbs of steak tips . Nice char from grill on tips. All very good . Better to serve an option steak tips, grilled onions and grilled green peppers, mashed potato, grilled beans ,a single hot roll ... like a Santarpios option they offer peppers But, I get it... if it is working... why change... These tips are Massachusetts high ranking .

For the main meals, I had the Mr. Falafel wrap which was freaking delicious. It was the best thing I had tasted there and I'd return for that wrap alone!
