The Bedford Stone Street

LOVE this place - so cozy and welcoming and very stylish. They make amazing cocktails and we also really enjoyed our meal - recommend both the hanger steak and the Murray's Farm Free Range 1/2 Chicken and for dessert we had the creme brulee which was amazing. We started with the burrata which I found underwhelming but otherwise everything was fabulous. I also didn't care for the $5 charge for using credit cards. That aside, however, I will definitely come back here when I'm in this part of town.

Came here yesterday after work, January 7th around 445pm. Nicely greeted by the staff as he accommodated us to enjoy the beautiful upscale ambiance. Relatively new restaurant, great decor and excellent cocktails! And the service was impeccable with all staff we encountered being professional, yet warm and friendly! The music added to the experience and I am sure you will enjoy this tasteful, warm and beautiful restaurant.

Really cool spot. Food was great. I am torn on the rating though. I think it has potential to be a 5 but my experience almost makes me want to give it a 3. I landed on 4 because the food was very good and the service was very friendly. Food: we had the Blue Crab Beignets which were very tasty. I really liked them. For mains we had the Sea Bass and Hanger Steak. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired perfectly. The steak was also excellent. Cooked rare inside but nicely done on the outside slightly charred. I think the portions were a little small IMO. I am not one who wants huge portions. I think that is a waste. But I was still hungry after eating the meal. Service was friendly and prompt. My issue was with drinks. I wanted a scotch and they didn’t have a big selection. The first I chose they only had the 25 yr which is very pricey. The 2nd I chose they came back and said they were out of it. The 3 rd I chose from a few they named, they brought the wrong one. And when they finally brought what they said was the right one I am pretty sure they just gave me what they originally poured because it didn’t taste like the one I wanted and the bill confirmed that. This is why I almost want to give them a 3. In the end, What I was given was still fine and would be about the same price. And by then I was done with the back and forth. I would think they would have a better selection of whiskey though. I would give them another chance. The bar looked like a great place to sit as well. And Stone Street is neat area to check out.

Amazing addition to the dull bars of Stone Street. Food is fantastic and cocktails are equally delicious, the Mole Corn Pain Killer and the Green Margherita with Chartruse were the favorites. The Blue Crab Beignets were the highlight of the apps. Oysters were super fresh and shucked well. Will have to be back for full dinner soon.

Beautiful bar, great for groups or just a friend date or date night. Loved their cocktails and extensive agave list which is hard to find in Lower Manhattan. Definitely recommend the old bay seasoned fries- I couldn’t get enough!

What a gem. Finally Stone street has a cocktail bar worth traveling to. A lot of the bars on that street are same-same but different - this spot is another caliber. The only reason I gave it 4 is coz I didn’t try the food yet. Standby on that

This is an exceptional cocktail bar with great food. Came with my wife and a friend before seeing Life & Trust and it was so good we returned after the show. They had some of the most interesting and delicious cocktails I’ve had in a while. Their Painkiller was mole fat-washed and had an excellent silky mouthfeel and delicious fruit flavor without being too sweet-I was worried it would taste like corn, but didn’t find that to be the case despite the corn noted in the description. La Isla Bonita was another highlight, which was a clarified milk punch where the Rooibos and apricot flavors complemented each other well. Food highlights were the crab beignets - more like crab cakes vs actual beignets but the accompanying remoulade was really good - and the fried chicken sandwich, which was possibly the best I’ve had with multiple thin layers of fried chicken. Ambience was also very nice, dark, and intimate, and service was great. I appreciated that the staff entertained my cocktail questions, for example, the bartender came to our table to explain how one was made. Highly recommend, and I’ve saved this to my Google Maps favorites.

Outstanding place and the staff is welcoming every visit. I’ve lived in NY for nearly 30 years and don’t impress easily but this place is great. Also one of the most knowledgeable bartenders I’ve experienced - you basically get a tutorial on any liquor on their shelf.

Great find in the heart of the Stone Street area. We started with the Risotto Balls which were on the small side but were well made. For our entrees we had the Crab and Tomato Water Bucatini, Lobster Ravioli and Grilled Hanger Steak - all very good. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were delicious for a side. For dessert, the Latte Tiramisu and the French Toast Fritters provided an excellent finish. Great comfortable environment that is nicely decorated and our server Abu was terrific - very friendly and helpful. Will return!

Disappointing second visit here last night, to the point that I wont return. After dinner at Fraunces Tavern my group of 5 decided to finish the night at The Bedford since I had previously been there a week prior (and spent $200 on drinks with a couple of friends). We all work in the area and were hoping this could become the new after work spot. My friends ordered four cocktails and I ordered a glass of wine (cabernet franc). When my glass arrived it was noticeably a small pour. I politely asked the bartender "is this a full pour," to which they replied "looks like it." It wasn't. Instead of just adding a bit more he went over to someone else, said something and came back with measuring tools. He poured some water at 5oz into another wine glass using the measuring tools and then compared it side by side with my glass. As I had suspected, it was short. It was around 3 1/2 oz (which is just over a taste) instead of the industry standard and expectation of 5oz. If you're a bartender and can't tell the difference between those two pours then you may want to recalibrate your career, and putting on this spectacle to make a point (which flopped) was just embarrassing for the entire establishment. "I'll top it off," he said. What? Top it off? You mean finish the pour? No apology or anything. Instead, it was some big show with measuring cups and side by side comparisons. As if that wasn't enough, after he "topped it off" he went over to other bar staff and began talking about it. People would look over and quickly go back to talking to him and others would join in. Each person that would come to the bar he'd mention the 'incident' to. It was very off putting and went on for the entire duration we were there. My friends and I had hoped to stay until close (we arrived at 9:30) but decided at this point that this was a lack of professionalism and that we would take ourselves somewhere else (we went to the Dead Rabbit and spent $400 there between food and snacks). As someone who plans 20-30 happy hours a year for the Wall Street tech hub I was hoping that this would become a new favorite go-to for my employees. And since I've followed Charlie on social media for quite some time now I was hoping he may perform there and I could take the office for crooners and cocktails. I had planned to bring some folks in for drinks this Friday after an office holiday party but we'll go somewhere else now. Good luck.

Beautiful interior. Attentive services. Delicious drinks. We tried martini transatlantico, ducchess of savoy, ondatropica, and Mole corn painkiller, which was our favorite. We also tried brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries, which I thought were both delicious. Overall, solid cocktails, not crazily gimmicky or inventive. Price-wise, drinks were priced either on par or slightly lower than other established cocktail places. I'd come back to try some more.

Wonderful, cozy spot on Stone Street that captures charm of old New York. Excellent food and service. Our server Abu was fantastic! We look forward to coming back!
