"I had found Settler on Yelp and I really wanted to eat here during our one day in Salem. After walking all day, Settler was out last stop on our day in the Witch City. I never anticipated to have my best culinary experience in Salem, but here I am telling the tale. Settler has a 3 course meal style of serving. We received the chef picked appetizers. I don?t have the exact names, but it was a ricotta style dip, a pumpkin hummus, and another dish that was like a falafel. It was all phenomenal. We also decided to get a cocktail called a Yusuf Highball. It was refreshing, light and exactly what we needed after a long day of ghost stories, witch trial history and people watching. Once we had our order taken, we had settled on a few different dishes. As a starter, I chose the shrimp and it was so insanely good. I could have easily kept eating that. My husband ordered the pate and he cleared his plate. I had the Spaghetti with clams. I really should have taken a picture of the menu to have the real dish names. This was the best pasta I have ever had. It was a white sauce base. It was fresh, decadent and yet light at the same time. My husband had the beef two ways. Both him and our friend raved about it. I had a piece and it was melt in your mouth delicious. My friend?s husband has the chicken and they both said it was delicious. Although we felt stuffed to the brim, we had to have dessert. We all shared the cheesecake and the chocolate tart. Both rich yet light. Aside from the incredible food, the people there were amazingly kind. We were able to be feet away watching the chef work with his team. This was something that truly stuck with me. We even wanted to know where they had gotten their cocktails stirrers from, and the chef showed us the link. This place was a true culinary experience. It was delicious, beautifully kept, and had wonderful people. The bartender also gave us wonderful recommendations for Maine. I do plan to come back to the Witch City and Settler i"

"Definitely a must to check out for cookies and ice cream. They've got vegan ice cream which is really interesting cuz I don't think I've ever had that before and it tasted like it was made with coconut milk. The fatties cookies are wicked good essentially it's like a cookie with like something stuffed in it like fudge or caramel or another cookie I can't really explain it you just have to go there and try it for yourself It was amazing. You can basically get a cookie to go or get a cookie in an ice cream That's where you get that vegan ice cream from. It was good, no, wicked good!"

"This is a fantastic deli in Beverly. I usually order the chicken salad sub, and I absolutely love it. It's packed with flavor, and I appreciate that it has a good amount of pickles, which I enjoy. Recently, I took home the egg salad, and it was excellent as well. The staff mentioned they made it fresh that morning, and it's clear they have a high demand for it. This deli offers a wide variety of options I haven't yet explored, but the quality of the food and the service are both outstanding. I highly recommend giving it a try!"

"Absolutely adorable! This place feels like it's straight out of a storybook! It's beautifully decorated, creating a whimsical, charming, and fun atmosphere. If you're not well-versed in tea (like me), don’t worry; the staff is incredibly helpful in guiding you through the selection process. The tea menu is brimming with flavors, and you can even buy some as loose leaf. No matter your preference, there's a tea just for you. We tried the mango passion and rose hip hibiscus, both of which were delightful. I also tasted the chocolate chip cookies, which were wonderfully dense and delicious. The only hiccup we encountered was that the staff forgot our ticket, and we ended up waiting for about half an hour. Fortunately, a server noticed and took care of everything. Mistakes happen, but we enjoyed every minute of our time there. We will definitely be back!"

"Food I am so happy that I found another five-star restaurant. The food was top notch. We had oysters, pop over and fried calamari as starters. The oysters were so fresh that I did not want to stop eating them. The pop over was something we went back and forth if we should order. It looked like a muffin and we were afraid it might be too much. We asked the waiter for advice and he said it is very light. You know what? The top over is a must try. It is almost like a balloon and tastes amazing with some butter on it. The fried calamari didn’t disappoint as well. For main course, we ordered lobster spaghetti and fried chicken. Both of them were very flavourful and the portion was generous. At that point, we were too full to order any desserts. Everything else The service was fabulous. Our waiter was friendly and gave us good advice on the menu. During the dinner, I knocked down my cocktail, and they quickly came over to clean it and gave me a new one. I will definitely go back."
