Bedford Post Tavern

A truly exceptional experience at The Bedford Post Inn – from the food to the ambiance, everything is thoughtfully executed and deeply enjoyable. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. Managers Nelson, Sunny, and Patty run a tight, welcoming ship. And when it comes to table service, Chrissy delivers in a way that elevates the entire dining experience – attentive, warm, and truly a pro. The bar team is just as impressive. Whether it’s Ellie, Rogelio, Adam, Ethan, Nolan, Steven, or the outstanding support staff, they create an atmosphere that’s equal parts polished and homey. It really does feel like a second home. Highly recommended – a gem in every sense.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary and we had a 10 out of 10 experience at Bedford Post Tavern. The food, atmosphere and service were all spectacular. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great evening out. Particularly, our waitress went above and beyond to make the night feel special and deserves a shout out. Thank you!

Went to this restaurant for brunch with my husband and son on Memorial Day. We were seated outside and were told by the seating host that our waiter would be with us shortly, however shortly turned into 20 minutes. We had to grab the seating hosts attention to remind her we still hadn’t had our order taken. About 5-7 mins later we had a waitress take our order. I ordered the lobster roll, which is the priciest item on the menu ($40.00)and my husband ordered the burger. When our food arrived one half of my brioche bun was burnt to a crisp. About half the bun was actually charred and black and yet the chef or whoever platted it still thought it was appropriate to serve. At this point I was very hungry but did not want to eat the lobster roll and the waiter who dropped off our food at the table quickly placed the food and left the table without saying a word so I had to grab a staff members attention to regarding the brioche bun. When I finally was able to get a staff member’s attention, I pointed to the brioche bun and the female staff member looked stunned that it was served on my plate. She agreed that my lobster roll needed to be taken back to the kitchen. Her direct words were”that’s unacceptable.” When I was given a new brioche bun it was again a little burnt but this time minimally only on the edge, but the bun was somehow cold overall . It was as though the bun had been placed in the toaster for seconds. The bun tasted out of a refrigerator. I was upset as part of the description for the lobster roll states “toasted buttery brioche bun”. The bun was dry. It did not taste or look buttery at all but I chose not to continue to complain because by this point I was starving and have never had to send back food twice in a row in any restaurant I’ve ever been to. In terms of taste, the lobster roll was good, but nothing spectacular and frankly didn’t feel worth the price because It was unsatisfying. My husband also felt his burger left much to be desired. He stated his burger was “just okay.” The staff in this restaurant was friendly, and the ambiance is nice however the lack of attention to checking in to place our order within the first 30 minutes, and the food issue left us incredibly disappointed. I would recommend this place for a possible glass of wine if you are willing to wait and don’t have plans afterwards however I would not recommend this place for a meal unless you enjoy waiting long periods of time.

Loved it! The food was fantastic, the environment is cozy, and the service is very good. I went there for their brunch buffet. Good quality selection of fresh seafood with oysters, lobster, crab, and shrimp... They also had stations for omelet/egg, waffle/pancake, warm meat, salads, fruits, bread, charcuterie, desserts, and more. The cherry on top for me was the fresh juices one! And yes, it's all you can eat.

On our way to visit friends this weekend, we arrived later than anticipated due to traffic & have been trying to make it here for months. We were welcomed in & sat down immediately. Christian & staff made our experience 10/10. The ambiance, the drinks, the food, & the entire team at Bedford Post Tavern were top notch. Not wanting to overstay our welcome, they ensured we did not feel rushed & continued to provide excellent service. Christian & team - thank you for a wonderful Friday dinner service & we can’t wait for our next meal here! PS - the branzino was excellent! Thank you for a great start to our weekend!!

Went for my birthday dinner, everything was amazing, from the atmosphere, the dishes, our server - everything was perfect! My favorite dish was the branzino with crispy skin! Also loved the cosmopolitan & the pavlova, which was fruity & refreshing! Hands down one of the best dinners we’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to revisit in warmer weather!

My partner and I have been going to The Bedford Tavern for awhile now and it has become our go-to spot. Our favorites are the popovers, foie gras, tuna carpaccio, branzino, the burger, steak, side of broccolini, and the spicy lobster pasta! (Hard to choose) You can never go wrong with anything on the menu! The vibes are warm and relaxed, but the food is amazing!! Shout out to the spectacular team who make it happen - Annie, Patti, Sophia, Robin and Adam who always take such great care of us. They’re the kind of team that remembers your order, makes you feel at home, and brings the dining room to life! If you’re ever in the area, stop by and if not, make the trip, it’s definitely worth it!

Beautiful restaurant, inside and out. Talented bartenders. Friendly hostesses, courteous wait staff. Delicious cocktails and wine. Apps were delicious: red onion tart, popovers and whipped ricotta. Entrees were outstanding: burger, pork chop, hanger steak. Dessert was inventive and yummy: cornbread ice cream sundae. Looking forward to going back.

My family and I found ourselves at Bedford Post Tavern for an early Fathers Day dinner. I had heard about this place sometime last year when it first opened, but it was never really on my radar. Nevertheless, my dad suggested we try it - and since I'm never one to turn down a new dining experience I booked a table and we made our way over. As the name suggests, BPT is located in Bedford. It's actually one of the onsite restaurants for the Bedford Post Inn - I was browsing their website and it looks like a super luxe place to stay (then again, Bedford so...). While the name suggests that the restaurant is a tavern, there's really only a standard bar in the first room upon entry to the restaurant. We were seated in one of the side rooms which was very nice but did not have a tavern feel at all. The space was open and airy with a bright, neutral color scheme and light woods throughout. The menu isn't too large, and contains mostly elevated American fare separated by snacks, apps, mains, and sides with an additional raw bar selection. We decided to start with two snacks - namely the popovers and smoked trout croquettes. I did not partake in the croquettes, but the popovers were pretty good. They were huge and paired with a honey butter that provided a nice complement. The consistency of some of them were a little off, though - to the point where one of them did not pop fully and came to the table cold in the middle; we brought it to their attention and they quickly rectified it. For my app I went with the heirloom tomatoes - this was in fact a burrata that was paired with the tomatoes and watermelon. This was good, the ingredients were fresh and the melon paired well with the melon. The cheeseburger was speaking to me so I decided to go with that for my main - this was a relatively simple burger paired with cheddar, raw onion, and tomato. It also came with fries that were paired with ketchup and dijonnaise to dip. The burger was tasty, and I appreciated the raw onion and unmelted cheese as it added texture and prevented the cheddar from sweating. The fries were also really good - just overall a solid dish. We opted for dessert; I had the cornbread sundae which was delicious - creamy ice cream paired with blueberries and "corn soil" (ie, crumbled cornbread) mmmm. Service was good - everyone was really friendly and made us feel super comfortable. I do feel they need to fine-tune some of the details; in addition to the popover issue I mentioned, there was a slight delay in my mother's app coming out (pet peeve of mine). Also, my dad and I both ordered the burger but cooked to different degrees - upon inspection I noticed they gave us each other's burgers; a simple swap resolved that but I'm glad I inspected the burgers first. Overall, we had a really good experience at Bedford Post Tavern - I'm always nervous dining out on holidays but they really came through. The food, service, and aesthetics were all solid. I wouldn't hesitate to return for another meal.

Excellent brunch buffet! Amazing fresh seafood of shrimp, lobster, oysters, salmon and salmon crudo. There is an omelette station, full breakfast station, fruits, salads, pastries, bagels and desserts. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly served with au jus and choice of sauces. The quality of food and excellent service was well worth the $78.

Small but refined menu. Introduced to my neighbors, they loved it too. Surprised to see negative reviews, which mainly effected by other non-food related factors. Not chip, but good quality and I like chef's creativity. Don't miss on cocktails!

I've been dining at Bedford Post Tavern regularly since they reopened last year, and I can honestly say it's one of the best things to happen to our local dining scene. The food is consistently excellent -- highlights for me include the mushroom toast, the heirloom tomato, watermelon & burrata salad, the garlic shrimp, and both the chicken and the steak, which are always cooked to perfection. I haven't tried the burger yet, but it looks incredible every time I see it go by. Desserts are next-level -- the cornbread sundae in particular is unforgettable. And the cocktails are top-notch. I'm genuinely surprised when I see negative reviews. It honestly makes me wonder if some of those people actually dined here -- or if it's just the unfortunate reality of online reviews where great places can get unfairly dragged down. Every experience I've had has been warm, welcoming, and delicious. It feels like we finally have a NYC-quality restaurant right here in our neighborhood. Thrilled to keep supporting them.

Pork chop overcooked and pasta undercooked. Would not honor a gift card in violation of the law and hostess handled discussion about it in a ridiculous fashion Will not return

This place is a disaster. I can only hope it's growing pains as I believe the current management has only been running the place for a few months. The menu was a joke. I couldn't com up with a more basic and boring menu if I tried. I had to beg for water. Even sparking water that I was happy to pay for by the bottle. When it came it was warm so then it took me another 15 minutes to get a glass of ice. And they were not that busy. I was close enough to the bar and server station to see people standing around doing nothing as I begged for water. And then we had to beg for salt as the food was woefully under seasoned. They also brought us the wrong food. Not even close to what we ordered. And I was at a two top. I will say the desert was incredible. But I can great deserts at Stew Lenard's. I wouldn't eat there again for free.

My boyfriend and I came here for a date night last night and it was outstanding. The cozy, rustic vibe was so good I didn't want to leave, every plate we shared was incredible, and the service was impeccable. Alex took amazing care of us, and shout out to the manager, Coleman, who went above and beyond. Do not sleep on: the caesar salad, the crab cake, the steak tartare, the cheeseburger, and the short ribs. And DO NOT forgo the chocolate tart. It's insane. Thank you Bedford Post Tavern!

We had our company Christmas party there last night. They gave us the private, wine cellar room. We had a separate sitting room with a fireplace and our own private bathroom. The whole experience was simply superb. Family style food selections, including Short ribs which was the best I ever had. Also have a great sommelier . Highly recommend for parties and/or regular dinner

Newest hot spot in Bedford! Great staff and management. The food is very well thought through.

I came here on a Sunday for an early lunch. I enjoyed the ambience outside on the patio area. Our server was very sweet and attentive. However, I was disappointed with the food. The menu is rather limited. I would have liked if there were a few more options to select from. I ordered the burger (medium) but it was over cooked. It was your average burger. There was really nothing special about it. I also had a cinnamon roll which was ok, but a little dry. Unfortunately I will not be back based on the food. I feel for the prices being charged the food should really be better.

Food was fine, Service ok trying hard. Energy of owner- kind and effusive to some- not all, ourselves included. We had to reserve early, place was empty, tried to seat us at a crammed table, no drink order for ten minutes- just lousy hospitality in a so so setting. Make all welcome- we are all buying your food and beverages. Would not return.

food sucked. way overpriced. they gave us a crappy table in the middle of traffic. the hostess at the front looked unpolished. total junk. I'll never go again. terrible experience.

The current star count has to be in error. Perhaps it's a product of the former restaurant in the hotel that went out of business 2 years ago. Maybe it's jealous competitors in the area because I can say with confidence it was the best meal we've had in northern westchester/Fairfield county in the last 6 months. It was also the most chic scenes I've seen in sleepy Bedford. Every table was full with beautiful people late into the night on a Saturday. We had the popovers, onion tart (sleeper hit), salmon ceviche, stuffed lobster (perfectly cooked and the half size is more than enough), branzino and burger (exceptional, dry age flavor with McDonald's worthy fries - and I mean that in the best way). A post drink meal at the fire pit is also a must.

They opened about a month or so ago, have been twice now, both times were great! Friendly & helpful hosts, bartenders are great, food is delicious! Sat at the bar the first time, and then outside the second time. Tables outside are close together, but it's a lovely setting! So happy to have another great dining option in Bedford.

Wonderful dinner in a beautiful setting. Save room for dessert, they are not your typical restaurant afterthought; well crafted and truly delicious! I would be doing a disservice to the amazing cheesecake and others to describe them here. At the waiters recommendation I had the beet au poivre as an app, something I would have never tried and it was fantastic. Our party had the lobster frites, steak frites and branzino...all delish as well. Cocktails were lovely. We'll be back!

This restaurant has a ton of issues. They sat us 70 minutes after our reservation time. Took 45 minutes to get a drink once we got there. Employees clearly untrained had NO idea what they were doing. Worst of all food was borderline inedible. What a huge disappointment. Got some food and drinks comped but STILL well over $100 a head. Go anywhere else

Great experience at the Bedford Post Tavern! Chrissy was amazing, great service and 100% on her recommendations! Will absolutely return!

This could be the worst dining experience that we've ever had. The staff, especially the management and front of house staff is downright rude, obnoxious, and has an air of arrogance about them. It's super reminiscent of what you would find in NY city, where they have this attitude of doing you a favor by giving you a table. I absolutely refuse to go back and give these people my hard earned money. No restaurant survives in this space, but this is the first time we've ever had an experience where we have totally written off a restaurant to the point where we would NEVER try it again. If you're in the service business, you need to be nice to your customers. Dine at your own risk. The food is beyond mediocre and the drinks are weak to top it all off. Absolutely no reason to go out and spend money to be treated poorly.
