Escaping your everyday life and becoming lost in the neon playground of Sin City never disappoints. From the popping nightlife scene to the abundant attractions and entertainment galore, this city truly can keep you busy. And with that, a serene taste of home can often be the breath of fresh air every Vegas vacation needs; luckily Martha Stewart has you covered.
The Bedford by Martha Stewart, a collaboration between the domestic icon and Marquee Brands, transports you to her New York farmhouse through decor and dishes that conjure feelings of comfort in a very personal but elegant way.
“No fads,” Stewart said in a recent roundtable interview at the restaurant. “We’re looking for a balanced and appealing menu.” Balanced and appealing these dishes surely are.
Patrons can enjoy a plethora of elevated appetizers like the house-made bread basket, which features an eye-catching trio of baked beauties, and the oysters Rockefeller baked with Pernod cream, spinach and watercress with a parsley breadcrumb topping.
While there are no bad choices here, the pierogis are clearly a standout starter with their fluffy potato filling and brown butter. “My mother, Big Martha, (the pierogis are) her recipe … Mother made great pierogi, and my record was 21 of them—and I could still eat 21. They’re so good. But that’s probably my favorite recipe,” Stewart said. “It’s a silly thing, but ethnic food, family food, is kind of important to all of us. It should be.”
Entrées like the roast chicken, stuffed with herbed breadcrumbs and the honey mustard-glazed salmon, served with wilted spinach and confit shallots, bring rich flavor, while an array of steak options are sure to satisfy. For vegetarians, the fettuccine Alfredo with summer truffle offers a hearty meal, complete with a creamy white sauce and aged Grana Padano.
Skipping sides like Big Martha’s potato purée and the roasted Brussels sprouts would surely be a major misstep, but even worse would be forgoing dessert. The upside-down lemon meringue pie is a must, with a tart lemon curd and crunchy meringue topping that is simply irresistible.
