I was so happy to eat here once again after the long awaited reopening. We were not disappointed. We like to sit at the bar and Jason/Shawna were spectacular like always! The big treat was the Seafood Chowder; I love soups so this was spectacular. I really hope this appears more often, hint....hint. The rest of our meal, albeit was more apps, but that was our mood last night with a small/healthy fresh salad to balance it all out! Can't wait for the start of the monthly fresh sheet as this is really my jam. Folks.....they ARE BACK! (You dont realize what you have until its not there) read more

Extremely happy they are back open! The food is spectacular and the drinks are spot on. The wait staff is professional, punctual, well informed and very friendly. Ambiance is Alaska all day long. Favorite restaurant in Alaska, I will miss it dearly when we move. read more

After enjoying Easter Brunch at Settler's Bay earlier this year, we decided to celebrate our birthdays there as well and it didn't disappoint! It's off the beaten path too, with beautiful views. I made reservations; however, we were there early for dinner, so it was fairly quiet, which was nice. It became busier as the evening went on. Service was excellent, our server was jovial and attentive! Cocktails, appetizers, entrees and dessert! We were all beautifully miserable by the time we walked out two hours later! We never felt rushed, nor ignored and that was a great way to casually celebrate! I walked along the cook line thanking each one of them for the fabulous dinner! Easter Brunch will definitely be a new tradition and I wouldn't hesitate to go for dinner throughout the year, especially for a celebration. read more

Years later finally back here again and everything was delicious! I loved the Glacier Water cocktail, plus it was super pretty. My entree was the cheeseburger (basic I know) and it was so good I forgot to take a photo this time. read more

Crystal F. gave us one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. She was incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. She checked on us at just the right times, made sure our drinks stayed full, and anticipated what we needed before we had to ask. She was friendly, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. Great service can make a good restaurant memorable, and Crystal absolutely did that for us. Because of Crystal's exceptional service, we'll absolutely be recommending Settlers Bay Lodge to friends and family and look forward to coming back. read more

Loved the location, the decor and ambiance. The view is magnificent. We were a very large party and got seated inside within minutes. The menu has outstanding options for adults and children. The drinks were outstanding and the older kids loved the hot chocolate The food was delicious and every one of us ordered different things and we all loved it. Highly recommend the scallops wrapped in bacon. Desserts were awesome from the peanut pie, the chocolate cake and the best carrot cake ever. The service was MAGNIFICENT. Our waitress made the experience extra special as well as those helping her. Can't wait for our next visit to Wasilla to go back to Settlers Bay! read more

good food as usual (pork sliders, chicken Osca) Most importantly, excellent and attentive service:....Shawna M is a gem and is the very unusual combination of a great bartender and outstanding food server. Settler's Bay doesn't disappoint read more

Service was great, prime rib was tough...poor quality meat I believe. We spend a lot of money for the meal, please be more selective in your meat provider. read more

I only had the salad when I visited Settlers bay lodge 7/10/25. Unfortunately the salad gave me a nasty case of food poisoning. The salad seemed to be the only option as I do not eat meat or dairy products. I hope that they review food handling protocols and do better in the future. Otherwise it was a nice place with a beautiful view read more

This is the second time I've visited in the past year and while it's a nice place and uniquely Alaskan. The food is good, not great and I felt was a little overpriced for what we got. Service was on par, the drinks were cold and the view outstanding. Good for groups. read more

I've been going here throughout the years. The most recent visit I was disappointed. I ordered the curry and my boyfriend and his son ordered the tempura shrimp and scallops. First off it was yellow curry. It was so spicy, and the curry did not have a good flavor. I like spicy, but this was way over the top. Yellow curry is supposed to be the mild of the curries. I couldn't eat it. The chicken was dry, which its chicken breast, to be expected. I should have sent the dish back. The tempura shrimp and scallops was more of a beer batter than tempura. We did order dessert, carrot cake, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. My BF was not impressed with the cake. The other 2 were ok. Our bill was $160 with tip and we left disappointed. Not sure if I'll go again. read more

So disappointing. The food LOOKS great. Tasting it is a whole different story. It's such a beautiful location it's a shame the food isn't up to par. Ordered a spicy bloody Mary. They made it spicy by putting a bunch of ground up pepper in it. How can I say tastefully yuck!? The appetizers were the best part although some things were over salted and some had no seasoning at all. I'd say if you're going to come here, make a meal of the appetizers and grab a brew. The steaks were tough and chewy with very little viable meat. My medium was rare. Colossal eye roll. The service was the only thing that saved this experience. Attentive, understanding and full of suggestions. It's a great venue for a wedding or a party. Cater it yourself. read more

Excellent food and service!! One of the best meals I've had in ages. They also are able to accommodate Gluten Free people.

The views are TO DIE FOR. Had the prime rib and it was alright. Decently priced $41. Dress code didn't seem to exist l, so T-shirt welcome lol. Will be back! read more

Settlers Bay Lodge - Steakhouses Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

I'm docking a star. While I still love the aesthetic of this restaurant, and I think the value is good for the price-BUT-the quality of the food seems to be inconsistent. Our first meal here was very good, and I was impressed with the quality. We dined this past September, and the meal was good, but not as impressive as the first visit. We came here on NYD 2021, and the food quality definitely seemed not as good as it was the last 2 visits. The appetizers we ordered in terms of flavor and presentation were not as good. The portion sizes on the Cajun calamari and steamer clams seemed much smaller than normal as well. The entree portion sizes were decent, but the taste seemed a bit lacking. I ordered the black & bleu pasta special and the sauce was essentially flavorless, but I will give them points for the steak being cooked well (medium rare). I definitely don't hold this restaurant to the same standard as places like Altura, Little Mermaid, 229 Parks & Addie Camp. It is more of a supper club/lodge in terms of menu items and presentation not a fine dining experience. So keep that in mind when dining to adjust your expectations. I do think that they can produce a more consistent product for what they do well. Seems like sometimes depending on the kitchen staff quality does change, which they can work on. Service in terms of the front of house is always very good. read more
