What an incredible Valentines dinner experience for our first visit here. We enjoyed the salmon over couscous but the braised short rib was the star of the show. Lick your lips and the whole plate delicious!! Don’t skip on the focaccia. Our server, Julia, was very kind and attentive, but not overbearing. The atmosphere was unique, cozy and very clean. We will definitely be back.

This place is a true gem tucked right at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The atmosphere is beautiful, modern yet cozy, with incredible mountain views and a warm, rustic vibe. The food was top-notch; everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The cocktails were outstanding (you can really tell they distill their own spirits with care), and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
Whether you’re stopping in after a day on the slopes or just coming for dinner and drinks, 8 Settlers hits the mark every time. Highly recommend the short rib and one of their signature cocktails or mocktails, they’re both unforgettable!

Sat at the bar and Jess, the bartender, absolutely defines the experience. From the moment you sit down, she’s warm, genuinely friendly, and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Her knowledge is next-level, and she doesn’t just make drinks, she crafts them. Every cocktail was perfectly balanced and easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. She reads the room, remembers details, and brings an effortless energy that makes you want to stay for “one more.” If Jess is behind the bar, you’re in exceptional hands. She elevates Eight Settlers from a great spot to an unforgettable one.

The food and drinks were fantastic. (Not sure it’s worth the price, very expensive entrees). However after getting our food we didn’t see our waiter again until we flagged him down, long after we were done and ready for the check. One waiter walked by briefly to ask if we wanted another round, and no one ever refilled our water. We were sitted in the 21 and up section and it wasn’t particularly busy. There was also a large group of guys who were very loud, disruptive and getting drunker by the minute. The staff seemed to be indulging them which did sour some of our dining experience.

My first visit here I dined in a refurbished jail cell with my Bestie for my birthday and it was fabulous! I also brought home a couple of bottles of deliciousness from the shop. The next time I came with another friend we tried several of the different appetizers and Veggie options and we both fell in love with the bourbon plus bonfire cocktail. Which is now my all-time favorite. You can sip this cocktail and feel like you are relaxed around the campfire sipping the best bourbon cocktail you ever had in your life! So today I came back to wrap up a successful and lovely and very busy weekend With a view of the mountains and the valley and to enjoy another bourbon plus bonfire cocktail and to try some new food items. The pear and Barata salad is heaven, literally. And the grilled braised short ribs cheese is ridiculously awesome. I got it with a side salad so I could feel virtuous however the truffle fries here are extraordinary but I had them yesterday! You’ll get great service from Charlie the bartender and Monica and Emma the servers. Today I tried the grilled chicken BLT and it was fabulous. And their french fries are magical FYI. I highly recommend this terrific restaurant!

Love this place for a lot of reasons. Food is unique and delicious. Really interesting menu without feeling pretentious. The spirits are great. I’ve got a whiskey flight a few times and enjoy them all. Atmosphere is also wonderful. The decor, proximity to the mountain and the overall vibes are spot on. I hear they are adding a new location in downtown too. Excited to try that one.

I went for my bday and we had the amazing Bobbie for our server! She made us so much fun and was on point as far as her service goes too! Wish more servers were like her! The food was so delicious! We got the pork dinners and burger and salmon and all of it was 5 stars plates cleared! Thanks Bobbie if you ever read this! Shine on sista!

This restaurant was right next to our hotel, so we stopped in after we got back from a late soccer game. There was a wedding on the first floor, but we were able to get right into the second floor dining room. The service was great. Went with the servers’ suggestions of the braised pork shanks and warm cookie dessert. My son loved his salmon. This was a good, convenient location, and I would eat here again.
