This summer, Martha Stewart, along with partner Marquee Brands, opened the domestic icon’s Vegas restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip in a celebrity-studded event that showcased a mix of her signature dishes and a variety of French-inspired cuisine.
You’ll find The Bedford by Martha Stewart down a passageway leading to the shopping area and Bally’s, near Nobu and Vanderpump á Paris. The entire façade is styled after Stewart’s New York farmhouse, with second-story windows and even chimneys and trim. When the restaurant was announced earlier this year, Stewart said, “The architecture and decoration of the spaces cleverly exemplify the beauty and atmosphere you might find at my beautiful farm in Bedford, N.Y.” Inside, elegant farmhouse décor in a muted palette makes for a calming meal. You’ll find a patio area and fireplace settings in the dining areas.
The elegant cocktails include such offerings as the Martha-tini, with Zubrówka Bison Grass vodka, dry vermouth and lemon twist. Order a pair and they’ll shake them at your table. Or you may want to order Martha’s Perfect Manhattan, with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet and dry vermouth, Angostura bitters and Luxardo cherries. And there are plenty of other classic cocktails with that Martha twist, too, plus beer and nonalcoholic options. Don’t forget the extensive wine list!
Appetizers include buckwheat crepes (a perennial favorite in the Stewart recipe canon), made ultra fancy with crème fraîche, grated hard-cooked eggs and Golden Osetra caviar. The amount of caviar depends on you, and the more you get, the more it costs.
You might like crab cake with jumbo lump meat, roasted yellow peppers and celeriac slaw; or a bread basket that has customers raving. The restaurant emphasizes farm fresh, local cuisine, so salads may make a great option, too.
There are a number of pasta choices for you, and the signature Big Martha’s Pierogis are filled with potato and finished in brown butter. Yes, you can get Golden Osetra caviar on these, too! Handkerchief pasta is vibrant with herb pesto and toasted pine nuts. For entrées, try Martha’s Big Square burger (pictured), whole roast chicken and a 32-ounce bone-in ribeye. If you just can’t get enough of that caviar, Martha’s smashed baked potato, normally served with bacon, is available with a little extra luxury thrown in.
