Very dissatisfied with this restaurant. My friend and I went for lunch. When we got there, the…read moreservice was in a bad mood. There was no rice, and the atmosphere was bad. When I went to pay, the price was wrong and I still had to pay! It costs $28 to eat as much as you want, but if you can pay by weight, too. In my case, my heavy meal cost $37. Normally, when it costs more than $27, they only charge $27 because it doesn't make sense. Well, the woman charged me $37. When I saw this, I questioned her. She told me that she couldn't give me my money back because it had already been charged on the computer! In other words, they stole it! I don't recommend anyone to go to this establishment! It's horrible, everything is really bad! I recommend you go to Alma Gaúcha!

The owner was at the cashier, he said it was fine, I asked again if they would charge differently and he said NO, so I went ahead and paid for my food. The guy(owner)looks like a scammer, I don't know why I didn't check sooner but when I got home I had a bad feeling and when I looked at the receipt, I found out he robbed me by overcharging. So I weighted my food in my scale and it was way less than what I paid for, the owner put a heavy plate under my containers but didn't reset the scale to make it heavy. What really got me is that he kept lying straight to my face, I asked multiple times. I felt so horrible that I lost my appetite and threw away most of my food

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

The food, service and ambiance is all outstanding. For October, they do a $78 tasting menu which is an insanely good price. We shared a meze platter to start which had some of the best hummus and falafel ever. For my appetizer, I had the mussels. The chicken dish was the star of the night though. We paired everything with a side of patatas bravas and a Nebiolo. Such an incredible meal - this place is the best!

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.

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 .
