   When you offer a $26 cheese burger and ask me how I want it cooked, and I say medium, don’t bring it out very well done. And a lot of people at my table were unhappy with their food also. Great ambience, but the food needs some help as it’s not worth the price.

   Derek was great and very knowledgeable! The food and ambience cannot be topped! Highly recommend the Bacon Wrapped Dates and Mushroom Risotto.

   Food was good, service met expectations, but everything overpriced. RibEye wasn’t worth $48. Each time we visit they have rooms reserved thus can’t enjoy the views. Place essentially shut down at 9 on a Saturday but weird residents aren’t their responsibility.

   The staff were milling about with no sense of urgency. Waitstaff looked at us several times, but no one came to even give us water. We were waiting 25 minutes after being sat for someone to greet us before we decided that we weren’t going to be attended to. When we got up to leave is when someone came and asked us if we had been helped yet, then tried to get us to stay. That’s not good service. That’s terrible service. The restaurant floor was not busy. There was plenty of empty tables, bussers, hostesses, bartenders, and waitstaff. I watched the manager and other staff walking the floor several times, but we were never helped. Our table was in a prominent position as well. We will not be back.

   Hi Brittany, Thank you for your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had with us. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I understand your frustration. Waiting for 25 minutes without being greeted is unacceptable, and it’s clear we fell short in meeting your expectations. I will be addressing this with our team to ensure that we are more attentive and responsive moving forward, even when the restaurant is not busy. We truly appreciate your business and deeply regret that we let you down. We hope you might reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

   A Gem in Cottonwood Heights We recently held a company farewell dinner for our esteemed director and mentor at Eight Settlers Distillery Restaurant, and the entire experience was exceptional. The food deserves a solid 5 stars—every dish was bursting with flavor, from the house bread to the spinach and artichoke dip, and the tempura cauliflower. The Exotic Burger was a delightful surprise, packed with unique flavors, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken was crispy and tender. The Grilled Salmon was perfectly cooked, and the Chef's Special Catch of the Day, Pan-Seared Halibut with asparagus and mashed potatoes, was an absolute standout. The service was exceptional; our server Kristen C was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making our evening even more enjoyable. The cocktails were also a highlight—the Pama Mule, City Nights, and Through the Pines were expertly crafted and delicious. The ambiance and setting were perfect, with a beautiful blend of traditional western style and modern touches. We were seated in the library section, which offered a cozy and inviting atmosphere, adding to the overall enchantment. This special evening was a fitting tribute to our director and mentor, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!

   We wanted to try this place so we made a reservation. The restaurant was very nice inside. The decor was cute and cozy and the atmosphere was very relaxing and enjoyable. We loved everything we ate, the flavors were amazing and the portions were perfect. It wasn’t like some fine dining where you feel like you’re paying an arm and leg for hardly any food. Our waitress was very kind. We were in one of the jail cell rooms. We loved having our own little space, but it does come with the disadvantage that you’re not always seen by your server so they may take a little longer to refill drinks and check in. We loved watching the bartender make drinks from our seats though.

   Other than the music being too loud making everyone have to yell, we had a great time. I was surprised that the downstairs was closed and they seated my party of 6 in the bar area, but we still had a great time, great food and drinks.
