Settler Salem Reviews
Just wow.
From start to finish this was an all-around excellent meal. We came for an early dinner and were seated immediately. Our server was kind and friendly and made an effort to get to know us, but never pressured us or hurried us along. He also walked us
Hands down the BEST restaurant in Salem.
Locally grown ingredients, sophisticated menu and excellent staff. We discovered it by walking by and we are so glad we did. Will definitely be going back on our next visit! 10 out of 10
To say we love this place is an understatement - we roll in
To say we love this place is an understatement - we roll in here a few times a month and grab a spot at the bar typically right at 5pm or any time on a Tuesday evening. Space is cozy and stylish. This experience never disappoints - the food, the wine
This place was unreal.
Very cozy, kind staff, and no misses on the menu. Everything was fabulous, with a great wine selection. Highly recommend!
the appetizers truly brought their game.
It's a little bit rushed but overall nice detail to the dishes
The food here is always impeccable.
Have had several different dishes and have had the different iterations of the menu (from pre fixe to mezze. Even things I normally wouldn't order, like a pork or shrimp dish, have all been delicious. They've changed the whipped ricotta sty

The cook actually presented to us the dishes and described everything inside of it!! And constantly poured us drinks. There was a candle in the middle of the table which made the place seem so rich and warm. Don't even get me started on the foo

Celebrated my birthday here and everything was phenomenal! Every dish we kept saying - "holy wow this is so good". I definitely did not expect to find such amazing food in the middle of Salem. One of the best meals we've had, even comp
We went here a year ago and loved the food and service.
We have a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating. We went tonight and they said they don't do any accommodations at all. They also removed the cocktail menu and only serve wine now. On top of that the waiter tipped himself 20% (on top o
The food was good-- very seasonal and interesting.
Larger portions than originally let on! I did feel a bit rushed though, the energy was that of the actual kitchen staff very snappy and efficient. That's not typically my speed when dining out, personally. The layout was also a bit tight but tha
Tasty with Good Ambiance!
Enjoyed the ambiance, nice and cozy! The meze and autumn lettuces salad were really tasty and filled with different flavors. The October Prix Fixe menu had good options, overall. I had Handmade Pumpkin Cappelletti which was quite rich and filling. I
Excellent Dinner
We ate on the patio. It was very pleasant and was surprisingly quiet. Our food was consistently terrific-we especially liked the pasta dishes and the churro dessert. The cocktails were good and strong, and service was first rate.
A favorite gem on the north shore.
The dishes are creative and amazing. They make whipped ricotta and baba ganoush starters that melt in your mouth. The main dishes are also excellent with good portions. Wait staff is warm and attentive. It's a small restaurant so limited seating but

This place was unbelievable! My husband and I came here and had a wonderful experience. We got there early to grab a drink at the bar and everyone who worked there was extremely accommodating. The bartender Ross was extremely friendly and kind. He ma
Amazing place and I can't wait to go back.
Intimate, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, carefully curated bar, creative and well plated dishes, and great service. Really a special experience! Did I mention delicious? Went there on April 26th after visiting the Peabody Essex museum. No
Very good food but disappointing experience
I booked a reservation on Resy at this very popular restaurant a month in advance of my birthday. We arrived 15 minutes early and our table wasn’t ready, which was fine, but there was no space at the bar and the server firmly advised us we could no

get ready for a "kitchen appreciation fee" charged to your bill, like it or not. very bare bones establishment. looks like they spent $500 to put the whole place together. tablecloths would have made a huge difference particularly given t
Hands down the best restaurant in Salem.
The real deal. Is it a little pretentious? Yes. Is that part of what makes it entertaining? Yes. Worth every penny.
I can't speak to the food but the service was awful.
I was seated at the bar and it wasn't that busy. After waiting patiently for over 15 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me, I walked out and I will not return.
Food was a 4-5, service was not good.
We were told we needed to order everything at once and were reassured that they'd space out courses. We had just started our bread when our starter arrived and then our dinners came quickly after we finished that. Waiter and place had an affect to t
By far, best restaurant in Salem.
Great staff and food. Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere.

I would give this restaurant even more than 5 stars if I could - not only was everything delicious - food and wine - but the service was like being with friends who really wanted you to have a great dinner. We enjoyed every course - steak tartare, e
Not... Great.
What more could I have expected from a space really leaning into a 21st century twist on settler-colonial branding on Naumkeag land... So ok let's talk about the food... A few menu attempts at glamour: Beef tartare? I have so many questions... why
Best on the North Shore
For high-end dining north of Boston, we haven't come across anywhere that's even in the same class as Settler. The space is intimate; the vibes have been as thoughtfully crafted as the food that comes out of the open kitchen. Everything on the menu i
Highlight of our trip
Great food and service! This was the best service in town and we ate at over 8 restaurants in the past few days. Each and every dish we had was delicious. Appetizer- We had a lamb meatball dish that was off menu and a shrimp dish. Very tasty. D
TOP RESTAURANT in MA!
Top 5 MA restaurant for us and we go into Boston a lot for dinner. This is 40 minute drive that we are happy to combine w a beach day. Let Lindsay the server take over and you will be in for a treat of grilled bread, clams packed w flavor, the most
Great Outdoor Dining
We ate on the patio. It is pleasant and quiet, and service was simply terrific. As for our dinner, it was exceptional. I am generally not a big halibut fan, but my halibut was delicious. The cocktails were excellent too. One tip: Save room for dess
Highly overpriced restaurant
Food courses are Ala carte which forces you to order courses and sides All courses are very small and overpriced as well. My wife and I were charged over $250 and left hungry. The chefs cooking is a little above average but is definitely not wor
Wont go back the manager was not very business friendly. Not a good customer experience
I would not recommend this restaurant because my wife ordered the fish and it wasn’t cooked . When I approached the manager I told him that my wife only got to eat a portion. I suggested that for $40 dollars we should receive at least half off. His
Great food, but...
2nd visit. The food was excellent, taste, and delivered in timely fashion. Only complaint is that our party of 4 was pushed to order moments after sitting down. Our waiter was knowledgable, pleasant etc. but must have come over 3 times in the first 1
Truly amazing cuisine
We truly had a wonderful evening dining at Settler. From the moment you entered the restaurant the staff was friendly and attentive. Dray was our sever but you could see they all worked as a team. Once seated with our cocktail the server brought us
Connect with users posting reservations for Settler Salem
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Settler Salem. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Settler Salem at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Settler Salem page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Settler Salem to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Settler Salem!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
