4 of us went for the 1st to time this past Saturday in the middle of a snow storm. They were packed and now I know why. Friendly management and waitstaff, reasonably priced, and everything we ordered was excellent. Not sure what else you would look for in a casual restaurant like this one. Bedford 234 is keeper. We'll be back, frequently! read more

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise ! Well located in the beautiful Town of Bedford NY. Great atmosphere and fantastic and intrigue food. The avocado fries with cilantro sauce was great as well as the Bucatini with wild mushrooms and Truffle oil. The Pana Cotta was delicious too. Thank you for the great experience ! read more

2 out of 5 stars is insane. This place is phenomenal. The two waiters were so helpful with their recommendations. The atmosphere was also very calm and relaxing. Onto the food... the bread was awesome. My boyfriend ordered the octopus for an appetizer. Normally I would NEVER try that but it was delicious. The shrimp and grits (chef's family recipe!) Was so savory, and I don't even like shrimp! The quinoa bowl, omg. The yogurt sauce. Ugh so good. Then the coffee and coconut cake. You'll kick yourself if you don't order the coconut cake. You don't have to like either, and I promise you'll die over it. So flipping good. My boyfriend and I are on a high now because the food was so good... read more

Excellent food and service! It can get a bit cramped inside and parking is often a struggle (depending on the day/time you go), but the delicious food is always worth it! Pricey, but what nice restaurant in Bedford Village wouldn't be? Superb choice if you plan on going to the theater next door. Please try the brie and fig starter! Also, avocado fries are scrumptious. The cod entree with the cilantro will keep me coming back for more! read more

Poor service takes all the fun out of eating here. We started out having to ask for clean bread plates as ours were obviously dirty. We had to ask for bread, ask for water, ask for a salt shaker, ask the hostess (as our waitress disappeared) to check on our order since it was taking an inordinately long time to come out. When our entrees arrived one wasn't what was ordered! We kept it as we had a movie to make next door and couldn't wait any longer for another entree. BTW, they didn't comp us for bringing out the wrong entree! read more

I always love this restaurant. Great selection of dishes. Lively ambience and nice people.

We stopped in here one Sunday evening just for a drink and a quick bite. We ordered a glass of wine and a glass of beer. The wine, while tasty, was $12 per glass and was filled up less than half of the way. Certainly not worth the money at all. At least fill it up half way! What happened to a 3/4 glass of wine? We ordered appetizers: the avocado fries, the hummus and the burratta. The waiter also brought over bread for the table. The bread was cold and lacked taste. The avocado fries were interesting but the seasoning surrounding it was bland, so was the sauce. The chickpea hummus was bulgar and mint which was very bland as well. The pita with it was cold. The burratta had nice flavor and the dressing was good. The restaurant is small but cozy and warm. The wait staff was attentive. read more

I recently had dinner on a Friday night with two friends to celebrate a birthday. There were perhaps four filled tables outdoors and 8-10 filled tables indoors when we arrived at 6:45 pm. It was a nice night, so we opted for outdoors. We were served our cocktails promptly and ordered appetizers (a salad and avocado fries) soon thereafter. AN HOUR LATER, the waiter asked if we'd like another drink. We said we'd like our food. Our appetizers had not yet been served. Ten minutes later, he brought the salad. Another 10 minutes later, he brought the avocados. An hour and twenty minutes for 6-7 fried avocado slices? After two full hours, our dinner (a quinoa bowl, a lamb burger, and the salmon) finally arrived. There was no manager on duty, and the owners were not present. We explained to both the hostess and the waiter that we were frustrated. The waiter offered a complimentary beverage which we accepted. There was no explanation of why we had not been brought our food. Meanwhile, a couple who came in after we'd been there for an hour and sat next to us were served their appetizers and dinner before our dinners arrived--they apparently knew the waiter personally. We asked about birthday cake and were advised to have the coconut cake (they were out of several other options). The cake was dry and clearly not fresh. I won't be going back. For these prices, I highly recommend you go to the Inn at Pound Ridge down the road. read more

Okay food (under seasoned and greasy) but Really SLOW service. Waited only 10 minutes for the wine but food took almost an hour to arrive. Told us that we were the next table to be served but that was still another 15 minutes away. Managment really needs to focus on EXECUTION... read more

Bedford Police lurking to catch anyone staying 1 hour and a minute. 30 people in town Sat morning and 3 police - one of those. Not too many places in Bedford to eat if any. Girlfriend went in and after getting parking that looked somewhat safe conversations had already happened so it wasn't clear why Kyle? kept coming back again and again and again to take orders or ask for orders. Hamburger fries and two drinks $70 - ummm. Seriously - asked 18 times if we were OK - no seriously, every 3 minutes, was caught off guard at first, would we like to see the menu, would I like another beer, another wine, something else. $10 for a sraggley side salad, the sort you would russle up at home after a long day at work and needed the guilt to go away that you had to do something. Now, I have no objection to paying $26 for a designer burger. But it's gotta be good - we're talking succulent, sinking your teeth into type of a burger. One you remember. (For example, Cittanuova East Hampton NY ($14 at last count) Kobe beef) A combination of the modest portions, the almost unbelievable return to the table approximate every 3 to 4 minutes through out our entire sojourn, and the overpriced food left one feeling empty and pained. At the bad end of a pure business arrangement. Preferred the Meeting House 3 years ago. read more

Went in for a casual dinner Sat night. To our pleasant surprise they had a table available but it would be ready in 15 min so we waited by the bar. The bar area is super small (6 seats). The whole time we were standing by the bar the bartender did not acknowledge our presence and asked for drinks. The rest of the service was just as lackluster. The decor is decent, reminiscent of an old farmhouse, but I think that is the idea. Drinks, once we ordered them at the table, were good. The food for the most part was very tasty but at the same time servers did not seem very knowledgeable. Overall, would meet someone for a drink. Perhaps will order a pizza. Would not go for a planned dinner. read more

This Resturant needs,some,work have,the pizza and the salmon if,you like that also the hummus was,good I,guess I'll,go,back since it needs a chance read more

Updated!! I have to say that Bedford 234 is now my favorite place to eat in the 10506 zip code. The staff is truly fantastic, Melissa is the best but so is the entire service team. I knew it would take time for the restaurant to find it's groove and it did beyond expected. The food is delicious. The selection of wine and beer is great too. I have to share one story: an item was removed from the menu and when we asked about it they made it for us, then they added it back to the menu not long after the requests from patrons. They listen and react and they are always ready to modify a meal to fit your needs and wants. Do yourself a favor and stop by. Older review: When it comes to dining in Bedford options are limited. With the arrival of 234 taking occupancy over the old Meetinghouse Restaurant I was optimistic for a local offering which would deliver fun atmosphere, good food and friendly people. To say I really want to like this place is an understatement. However, my first encounter left me hungry for something more. While the food was good, it wasn't great. Options are somewhat limited but as more and more local restaurants try to be purveyors of local fare I find the art of the food gets in the way of a menu which can accommodate my family's diverse palate. The service was inexperienced in many ways. We were seated at a table that rocked so badly we may as well have experienced dining aboard the titanic as it was sinking. At one point the corner dipped so badly we almost lost our tables contents. I had to go under the table to readjust and stabilize it while the staff was off preparing lifeboats I assume. While comical I couldn't imagine any other patron "stooping so low" to save their meal. The experience wasn't all bad as the food was good. As for the decor, I like it. It isn't all that different from the Meeting House. I will be back after some time and hope to update my review with a more positive perspective. read more

Recent Saturday dinner was outstanding, food excellent, service respectable. Love the decor of the place, re-done after new management, bar area much roomier now. Decent wine selection, front of house quite friendly. Yes, prices are a bit high but in line with the area and food was really good. Note to mgmt: ice with water and salt spoons with cellars (nice touch!) would be welcome, tiny complaints. We'll be back! read more

I really love everything about Bedford 234. I was there at the beginning and I've watched over time how the food the service and the warm atmosphere has improved exponentially. They're constantly looking to improve the menu and with the new chef it's apparent that they're committed to having farm fresh food great flavor and creativity in every dish. It's a great local family-run establishment where I feel like home. Welcome every time I walk through the door. It's a place you definitely want to try read more

Fantastic. Best restaurant I've been to in a long time. Wine pours were heavy, thank you. We were two and got two apps a side and a dinner and we had a ton of leftovers. Staff was superb. They bought our last round and were amazingly attentive. Can't wait to go back. read more

I'm only giving this 1 star because I can't figure out how to give it no stars. Service weak, food weak, price out of control, management horrible. Owners vanity project. Really terrible. read more

"Great Experience" Started with an unusual LOBSTER KNUCKLE "ESCARGOT" ,Roasted Garlic-Herb Lobster Butter and an excellent OCTOPUs which was a full sized portion. For entrees, I had the Seared tuna over a very good rice cake and greens. My wife had the Swordfish, piled on top of a vegetable ragu which was topped with a rice cake then the swordfish which had friscee on it. Great desserts, we had the brown butter sugar pie which came in a mason jar, unusual and the Lulu's pie which were told was made by the owner's daughter, both excellent. read more

Great neighborhood spot. The food, although a little too trendy for my taste, is delicious. The atmosphere is casual and intimate.

Came here for the first time last night (1/24). Wait staff were extremely friendly and offered great recommendations. AVOCADO FRIES!!! We ordered the avocado fries as a snack. The fries were fantastic and the cilantro aioli dipping sauce was even better. We then ordered the brown rice quinoa bowl and the pistachio crusted salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the risotto was very flavorful. The bartender Jess recommended an elderflower martini and we were really glad we tried it. We ordered three rounds post recommendation. We decided to try a dessert. I can't remember the name of it, but it was a butter cake with ice cream; OUT OF THIS WORLD. It was the perfect way to end the perfect meal. The menu prices are fair, especially considering that most of the ingredients are organic/locally provided. I will be coming back to Bedford 234 very soon! read more

My entire table, including my 2 year old, got horrible horrible food poisoning. We also took a soup to go for my father who was at home and he got food poisoning. It was truly a nightmare. read more

I literally just checked out they're Facebook site and had to read a rambling disgusting story with a visual no less, of a woman breastfeeding her baby and describing her infection in her breasts in graphic detail? Is this suppose to give the public an appetite? Do they encourage their employees to discuss ( In graphic detail) of they're infections in detail to it's customers? No Wonder why you have 3 stars and obviously family and friends writing 5 star reviews. Nothing wrong with breast feeding however, posting it on a Restaurant website while the Mom discusses in great detail of an infection in her breasts is absolutely shameless and inappropriate. No, just no. Have some modesty and class. Smh read more

Love this place so much. Neighborhood spot with amazing food. Consistently. And Kyle and Melissa take such good care of us. Every time we go there for dinner is a 5 star rating. Can't say enough good things about 234. read more

We love this place every time I come home we make it here at least 2 times. A warm cozy space with great staff - tiny bar area that can get crowded. Melissa will always take care of you & once in a while you spot one of the local celebrities that live in Bedford. My last time it was Martha! Hard to pass on the coconut cake which is amazing as Is the brownie sundae. But for dinner - haven't had a bad meal - in winter the pot pie is a favorite though I tend to always order the Quinoa bowl with salmon or chicken. The burger looks amazing and you can get it as Impossible too- and always get the fries. read more

Food is good, however its small and stuffy inside, you sit elbow to elbow with other tables, there is no vibe in this place, boring, quiet, good for lunch. Blah read more

Okay, I think the ratings for this restaurant isn't fair, at all. My husband and I had a dinner here the other night, I was little worried before going as the Yelp reviews were not too positive. However, it was a pleasant surprise! We had avocado fries and macaroni cheese with truffles as appetizers. Both are amazing! As someone doesn't like Mac&cheese, it's hands down my best experience ever! The main dishes we had were steak and scallops. Honestly I would give them a 5 star if the sides of the scallops were not that salty. My husband eats very salty than me so he enjoyed his steak. Overall, very solid restaurant, the service was great too, we definitely will come back...maybe when I can drink again! read more

We were greeted by an extremely large lasagna in a skillet cooling in the window. Wow, did it look good! A very small establishment, but very good service and very good food. The menu was very different and had many vegetarian option which for me (being the vegetarian) in a sea of fish and meat eaters made this the perfect choice to come to Bedford 234. If you love avocados, do NOT and I repeat DO NOT MISS ordering the avocado fries. The bucatini was so good that making the ride over the TZ bridge from Rockland to Westchester was DEFINITELY worth it. Now let's talk desserts, the coconut cake was incredible and so was the gluten free brownie. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars it was a Saturday night and they did not have Baileys or ingredients for an espresso martini. Come on, really? Everything else, ON POINT! read more

Service was amazing Sunday night the burger was awesome!Chris Devins is always so attentive and awesome!

Best burger in Westchester!! Food is consistently good and the service staff always friendly.

The worst food in the Tri-state area. The staff tries very hard but the owners insist on feeding customers two day old hash and truly inedible salads. Everything is filthy except the bar. If I were on a desert island and 234 was the only place to eat I'd hack off my fingers and eat them first. Then maybe a leg. Stay away! read more

This restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. The ambiance is plain-jane. Unattractive, looks like a local dive. Service is poor, slow, unattentive. The menu is ambitious, cutesy and "trendy" (local farm strawberries in March?). The food is too much chef, not tasty, too spicy, tangy, vinegary, salty. All this and it is overpriced for what it has to deliver. The hanger steak was cooked rare as ordered, was soft, but tasteless and overwhelmed by the vinegary sauce. No beef flavor. Not to return to. The major selling point is the adjacent movie theatre, being upgraded, due to open soon. read more

This place is great! Went here with another couple last night and all of us loved our entrees. We had the steak, shrimp and grits, ahi tuna and short ribs. Pretty good selection of beers on tap. Our server, Kyle, was great and was very knowledgeable about the menu, making great suggestions. After we paid, he even told us to meet him at the bar for spicy tequila shots, on him! This was in contrast to the rude hostess who scolded us for being a few minutes past our reservation time. Overall great food and atmosphere. read more

I am so disappointed in this restaurant. The portions are ridiculously small and the prices are out of control. I've lived in Bedford for 25 years and I think these owners think they can charge NY City prices for mediocre food and get away with it. Mediocre food + overpriced food= NOT RETURNING!! read more

Jose is a DOLL! The service is great. They are accommodating and the food is good. A little overpriced, if I was being honest. And they would really benefit from a printed cocktail menu. read more

What no Zero stars? Miss the Meetinghouse! Went in for the first time since new owners took over and what a disappointment. Ordered simple burger with fries, medium rare. The burger was well done and the fries were soaked in cold oil. Limp as overcooked pasta. Service was OK but annoying. The owners seem to focus more on the appearance than on food quality. Should have saved some money from the renovation for a better kitchen staff. Will not be back. read more

Another Westchester disappointment. They claim farm to table, but the chopped salad tasted like supermarket to table. The pomegranate vinaigrette was not really a dressing but a thick sweet syrup, which did not enhance the limp greens and canned chick peas. The table bread was supermarket Eli's (Zabar's)---I know the taste. A vegetarian onion soup was less a soup than a pile of onions, cheese costing extra, by the way. The swordfish entree, advertised as being Greek, hardly seemed Mediterranean at all. Overcooked, sitting on too-buttery mashed potatoes, with little seasoning. My wife's salmon salad was a little better but nothing stellar. As for the prices, they are over the top. My $11 glass of Argentina Cabernet was half the amount---literally half---of a normal glass of wine ordered anywhere else. The swordfish was $29, not justifying its fairly bland preparation. My picky daughter had a bowl of plain pasta---they charged $16 for this. (Clearly they are not encouraging parents to bring their kids.) This place has replaced The Meetinghouse, which had similar problems. read more

I love this place even better than the old meeting house! They have an extraordinary menu and their creations are rather sublime! Every time i go there i try a new dish and never has it disappointed! The owner seems like a really nice guy as well- down to earth and focused on excellence. I am just so impressed with the dishes, the presentation, the warm atmosphere, the flavorings- the artwork- the plates- the beer selection! My only suggestion would be to hire a few more servers to be able to quickly serve all the guests- because the word is out - the food and presentation is fabulous - which means high demand! We are so lucky to have all these fantastic restaurants in our area- Jean-Georges, Truck, Farmer & the Fish, Bedford Post, North Star- Stone Barns- Bedford 234 is a joy and I am so excited to have them as part of our community! UPDATE OCT 2016- They have some wonderful servers now so I don't see that initial issue they once had when they first opened. He has found some great people with fantastic energy working there. But You simply MUST try their chicken pot pie! I can't even think about it without my mouth watering. Oh and the white triple layer coconut creme cake. That is a masterpiece. Not sugary sweet- it is perfectly balanced and would win an award. I simply love this place. It's the only place i would ever go venture out alone just because i've got to taste that pie! You've got to pressure chef and the owner to get that Chicken Pot Pie on the menu! I think it was a special but it is utterly amazing. Real shredded white meat chicken, fresh pees, some fresh spices, baby fancy potatoes and swaddled in fluffy crispy philo. And it isn't fillled with corn starch it is more northern French style- I am waiting on a cookbook at this point. That's it I have to go back this week and have another! read more

Come here all the time and like everything I've gotten. The food is always fast and fresh and they have always been accommodating to my family's random customization of standard dishes. The outdoor seating has been great this summer, especially paired with their white wine selections (ive had the sauvingon blanc and sancerre). Two people we are usually waited on are friggin awesome, so giving them a special shoutout. I'm forgetting their names, but one is a young gentleman who has a great sense of humor and the other is a young woman who is tall and pretty and always beyond sweet to us. All in all, definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't yet!! read more

Nothing new or special here. Over priced under inspired food. Was not expecting much but won't be back. Original meeting house was never that bad. BTW we asked about their soup offering. Melon gazpacho? Really! A definite disconnect exists if someone thinks that is on a diners list. read more

This place has it Going On! Incredibly Knowledgeable, Polite & Fun Staff. The cocktails are all handcrafted & made to your liking. Kyle is truly a well versed highly skilled bartender that shows great care in his job. Food is amazing! Great menu with some unique choices - Avocado Fries are definitely a must! Salmon is phenomenal & cooked to perfection! Great Burgers & a really nice wine list - the choices for wines by the glass is Hands Down. A Really great fun environment to be around. read more
