   This place is close to being good. The menu has variety, but the execution of cocktails and dishes wasn’t quite there. The downstairs has character and yet you have to go upstairs to get a table. The view is nice from the lounge area, but the ambiance lacks any warmth. Our server was very attentive and helpful. I was excited to try a honey comb cocktail, but I think they might have forgotten the bourbon. It tasted like extremely sweet fruit juice. The peach old fashioned was fine, but you’d expect a distillery to have top notch drinks. The catch of the day was trout. It was cooked well, but there was strong smoky flavor that took overpowered everything. Even the potato served with the trout, tasted like liquid smoke. The cauliflower appetizer was the best thing that we ordered. The cauliflower was cooked well and the dipping sauce was good. I think the price point of this restaurant would reflect quality, but it comes up short.

   Followed the suggestion of other reviewers and reserved the bar seating. Good choice. Quieter than the dining room proper, even on Mothers Day. Great food and service. Waiter even refused to bring my credit card back to me till I'd returned from the restroom, so the honored mother didn't have to see/process it (she was willing). That's class/good service. Drinks were creative and well crafted. We will be back.

   We came for Mother’s Day brunch and had an amazing time! Our service was great. Our food was fantastic, and came out fast. Will definitely be coming back for dinner and cocktails!

   Went for Mothers Day and very much enjoyed it. Food was very good. I had the Salmon Benedict which was excellent. Not being like the majority of Utahns we enjoy a nice leisurely meal so the reviews complaining of slow service are usually a positive for us. Service was spot on! The Carrot cake for dessert was one of best we have had. Atmosphere was great, we especially enjoyed the 21+ only area and didn't have to deal with all the kids!

   We were in town for the weekend and happen to choose Eight Settlers for a celebration. The ambiance was wonderful. We were upstairs and able to watch the sunset. It was a warm evening and they opened the windows. Our server was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the menu offering recommendations and bringing fabulous drinks as well. All of the food ordered was excellent. Fried calamari, rosemary bread, spinach dip, ribs for the appetizers. Our entire party enjoyed their meals. It was a perfect way for us to celebrate a special Person in our group. Highly recommend.

   Great food but although our server was very friendly, it took forever to get our drinks, food and check. Our food wasn’t particularly warm either. Restaurant was virtually empty.

   Always great on all levels, service, food, ambience. We especially like it for lunch as it is removed from the normally lunchtime craziness of other restaurants. And food is exceptional.
