Thank you to Northshore Magazine for recognizing Settler with Readers’ Choice for Best Wine List and an Editors Pick for Best Bread Service in the 2026 Best of the North Shore Awards.

If you know us, you know our sourdough starter, Cynthia, is part of the family. She’s come on vacation with us, and we’re frequent dragging our boys into the restaurant on Sundays just to feed her. A labor of love and a wonderful way to be recognized.

Thank you to our incredible team for taking such great care of Cynthia (special shout out to our Pastry Chef ) and for making Settler what it is…the best place to be ❤️

Thank you, Northshore Magazine, for recognizing Settler with a BONS Editors’ Pick for Best Restaurant Wine List 🍷

This one made me laugh a little because if you’d asked me a few years ago, I would’ve told you I was never going to be “into wine.” It didn’t come naturally to me. I couldn’t remember grapes or regions, and I definitely didn’t think I’d be the person spending nights reading about Assyrtiko.

But somewhere over the last year, rebuilding this list became a bit of an obsession.

We stopped thinking about wine as grapes and regions and started thinking about energy. Bright. Mineral. Coastal. Textured. We wanted every bottle to earn its place because of how it made the food and the experience…feel.

A huge thank you to our team for embracing this with us. For tasting, asking questions, listening to us ramble about wines we’d just discovered, and then turning around and sharing that excitement with our guests every night.

To our incredible wine partners (Nick, Dave, Chris, and Alex) thank you for your patience, your coaching, and for never blinking when we asked to taste “just one more” or “tell me about this one again.” You helped shape this list as much as anyone.

And to our guests - thank you for trusting us when we suggest something you’ve never heard of. Watching someone discover a new favorite bottle has become one of the best parts of what we do.

We’re incredibly grateful for the recognition, and even more grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey. 🥂

Spring hasn’t quite sprung yet, but we’re getting close. Until then, we’re leaning into the kind of dishes we never get tired of. Here’s our steak tartare with capers, cornichon, and radishes.

Aaron has a rule he can’t seem to break - if steak tartare is on the menu, he’s ordering it. Every time. He hasn’t technically dined at Settler 😉 but this is one of his frequent behind the scenes bites when he’s in the kitchen with Chef Bailey.

Limniona & Friends 🍷

On April 1st, we’re hosting a special wine dinner with Christos Zafeirakis of Domaine Zafeirakis. Located in Tyrnavos, Greece, the Zafeirakis estate is known for reviving Limniona, a rare indigenous grape producing elegant, aromatic red wines with insane freshness.

For the evening, Chef Aaron will prepare a multi-course feast paired with a progression of wines from the estate, including Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Chardonnay, and several expressions of Limniona.

Christos and Chef will guide the evening together, sharing stories about the wines, vineyards, and dishes along the way.

This is a one-night event with a single seating only. Tickets to reserve your seat are available via Resy!
