    Beautiful, spacious and comfortable restaurant. Every part of our experience was exceptional. The waiter was gracious, prompt and didn't miss a beat. We ordered an appetizer, the specials of the day - pineapple halibut and half duck, bay salad, creme brulee, and cocktails. Everything was perfect and delicious. Even the cook made a point of thanking us for being there as we left. This is one of the best restaurants in the Valley. You will not be disappointed.

    No bang for the buck! Won't go again. We went for the Valentine's Day prix fix menu. Overall, we were originally excited about the top tier ingredients being used: waygu beef, crab, fresh berries, etc. Unfortunately, execution did not meet the high level of ingredients. Waygu beef brochette was tough. Crab and shrimp bisque had so much potential but was cold and rather bland. My husband loved his duck with blackberry reduction. My prime rib had no crust on it and just wasn't done well. Dessert was very good, as were the old fashioned cocktail....the wait staff was friendly and tried very hard.

    Ordered the ribeye took a while to get food & wasn't cooked the way I asked. For the money spent not great. Service could also be better. Their are much better places for the price for sure!

    Had a lovely dinner date with my wife at Settlers Bay Lodge, and we had a great time! The specials were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable evening. Highly recommend!

    All my requests were granted. Service, cocktails, and food were excellent. I have only two minor reservations about Settlers Bay: The last half of the KGB highway has not been upgraded like the segment from Palmer-Wasilla Highway to 3 Bears, so the distal half is narrow and poorly marked with no street lights so the drive is dangerous, especially in the rain or when the road is wet. This is obviously out of control of the lodge, but it is something to keep in mind. There are no rugs, carpet, or insulation on the walls or ceiling, so the reflect noise level is high, especially near the open kitchen. If you get a booth or a table away from the kitchen, it is much better. They usually accommodate, so I keep coming back!

    After reading the reviews I was really looking forward to using our Christmas gift card on New Years eve, we did but the food was one of the worse we have had. Most of the food was cold and not cooked to completion. The service was so slow. I won't be going back.
