We had a fabulous brunch at Bedford Post Inn. Katie was so sweet and fun. She made our visit more special. I love the setting and the beautiful grounds. The food is delicious and the pancakes I still talk about. We will definitely return. read more

Never a bad meal or lacking ambience. A real treat for a special occasion or just an evening out when you want to feel spoiled and miles away from the hustle and bustle of crowded city restaurant rows. read more

My partner and I came for drinks one night at the bar. We had the best experience ever. Rogelio, the bartender, was amazing! My mom, who has since past, used to love this place, and it felt so magical to be taken care so well here. It was truly a gift from heaven!! read more

I've lived in Bedford for 25 years and seen the various iterations here and subsequent mgmt turnover - two things remain constant: food is great, service is worst I've ever experienced. Today I went in for a to go order, paid, tipped 20% like a jerk, saw the two cartons sitting there for five minutes AFTER the hostess said she'd get my order. Three wait staff standing around, two hostess chatting, finally the bartender asked if he could help me - I said yes my order's been ready the entire five minutes I've been standing here, and at that point I got my food and left. Different year, same awful service. I'll go back of course due to lack of options but maybe I'll stop tipping . . . read more

Tried it for the first time; I wouldn't come back. They have no paper menus, which would have been fine if their wifi was easy to connect to for the online menu (wifi was hard to use, and it required providing an email just to connect). The servers had to lend their phones just for us to order. We got the mushroom pasta and scallops for entrees. While they were not bad per se, they weren't highly recommended either. $37 for a 3-piece scallop dish, and the flavors didn't combine well. The scallops were not seared well, and while served with honeydew and arugula, resulted in a clash of sweet, bitter and salty flavors. We had to get Burger King after dinner. read more

We went for brunch last Sunday. Our server, Georgina was wonderful. Always available and friendly. The buffet was impressive; raw bar, omelette station, fresh pastries, fresh juices. BUT--coffees and other drinks extra. For $78/pp I would expect coffee and a mimosa or Bloody Mary. Maybe?! read more

Simply wonderful; deserving of its Relais status. Susan, the GM, and her ally, Patty, are responsible for creating an extraordinary guest experience. I wish the restaurant were a bit less boisterous and that the parking lot was better lit, but these are inconsequential quibbles read more

We had brunch here recently and were seated right away. We waited at least 20 minutes with zero service-not even water. We asked the hostess to at least take our drink orders as our table had not been attended to. The waiter then blamed the other waiter. The latte took another 20 minutes to be ready. The food was hardly edible. Just didn't taste good. For an inn that charges an absurdly expensive rate per night, this experience was beyond disturbing. read more

We had a great night here! Restaurant was busy, we had a reservation and were sat right on time. The service was great- food was very tasty. We had the onion tart, popovers, pappardelle and steak. Will absolutely be back! read more

I was a little weary to stay here because of the mediocre reviews, but this past Friday night my husband and I stayed here for a night and visited The Barn for dinner. My experience was that the Inn was lovely. Zach was very helpful and check in was smooth. The room was extremely clean and decorated beautifully. Breakfast was a little small but we don't eat large breakfast meals anyway. All in all a very nice time. The restaurant (The Barn) was great, but the service was a little slow - but what service isn't these days post-2020. A very nice short getaway and I'd come back. read more

Four of us went for brunch-two ordered the smoked salmon plates while another had sunny side eggs. When our dishes arrived they each had a very small piece of bread- hardly enough to accompany our food. We asked for more bread and our server brought two more small slices for the 3 of us. Again we asked for more and after a long wait she came over with two more small pieces. Soon after the hostess came over and asked if we were the people eating up all the kitchen's bread and making us feel guilty for asking. She suggested we go to their bakery to buy their bread. Honestly, even with the extra bread it wasn't enough for the eggs and salmon. And to add more insult we were charged an extra $14 for four 2"x 5" pieces of bread. Although the food was good we will not be going back. read more

Fantastic food, terrible service. This is a beautiful property and very well known in the area but my last experience on 9/25/21 was really bad, for what they charge they should provide a remarkable customer service. They act like their shit doesn't stink, I'll never go here again. Explore better options and save your $$$... read more

Truly a distinctive fine dining experience. From the moment you approach the property, you are greeted with a magical backdrop of natural plantings, masonry stonework, and pergolas. The landscapes simply embraces you. There are a variety of outdoor places to sit including the fire pit area which offered comfortable seating under the trees and amazing perennial gardens. As you enter the dining room, the host staff is genuinely pleased to see you. I always appreciate the personal attention! Lexi greeted our party by name and warmly walked us to our table. The dining room layout was well thought out and the decor provided for a very intimate setting. The stone fireplace will be incredibly inviting during the cold winter months and is a central focal point in the main dining room. The attentive wait staff engaged us almost immediately with smiles and energy. Our server, Catherine was very well-versed on the menu and spent time describing flavors and the menu options. During our entire seating, the staff insured we were comfortable and that our table was well organized and attended to for every course! Nick and Lucas were engaging and a true compliment to the dining experience. Our food was equally as impressive from beginning to end. We appreciated the variety and the selection for each of our unique pallets. I highly recommend every guest begin with a pop over. It brings back such wonderful memories of Maine, but it also creates the warm embrace of breaking bread with friends and family to start your dining experience. Each of our choices offered a well-balanced mix of flavors, distinctive tastes including one dish paired with a smoked chili yogurt sauce. It was impressive to see the unique seasonal pairings offered. For example, you must experience the buratta salad with heirloom tomatoes, watermelon slices and summer herbs with nasturtium. Another member of our party enjoyed the delicious salmon plate with peas, asparagus, and a gentle butter sauce. All of the flavors worked brilliantly together. We found the menu to offer a variety for all! The desserts did not disappoint. So much creativity in flavors and the wonderful presentation! Our party was also impressed with the beverage menu. Many classic drinks and some with twists, which only complemented the dining experience. The valet service was friendly and seamless. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

We ate at The Barn in a pergola covered outdoor terrace with heat lamps and it was a crisp autumn day.The indoor seating was packed and fragrant . We had mimosas at the bar while awaiting our table. The food was excellent. I had a brunch dish, home made savory biscuits with egg, bacon cubes and bacon jam over a tangy bed of greens. DELIGHTFUL! My companion had a mouth watering hamburger with a brioche bun and the wait staff was cordial and attentive. Try this gem. read more

Was unimpressed and underwhelmed. Emailed manager Julia twice to voice my concerns and not even a reply. We were literally the only guests at the Inn and she couldn't be bothered. This is a Relain and Chateaux property, it is disgraceful since they pride themselves on service read more

i love the Bedford Post because I have such great memories of our daughter getting married there. Love the atmosphere and love the food. However, not being able to look at a paper menu takes the Post off one of my "most favorite" places. Glancing through a paper menu is part of the experience that i want to have when i go there. To ask people to scan a bar code takes all the ambiance out of picking your meal. Please bring real menus back and if people want to scan a bar code give them that option as well. read more

The rooms here are small. TV is the size of a computer screen, in fact it is a computer that used Google Firefox. It is not at the level of most Relais Chateaus. In fact, in the many Relais Chateaus we have stayed at, this may be at the bottom. At $700 a night the price is steep for a small standard room. The service in fine. Heated floors in the bathroom are a nice touch. The bathroom itself is large with a nice sized shower with good water pressure. Snacks and non-alcoholic are provided 24 hours a day. You receive charcuterie and wine in the evening. All nice touches. read more

BEWARE NEW MANAGEMENT We ate at this restaurant a couple of years ago, the food and service were wonderful. Apparently the establishment has changed owners, because our experience this time was terrible. The lady with red hair at the front desk as you walk in needs additional customer service training. We were told over the phone there would be a $35 charge for a pre-fix menu for children, when the bill came we were charged $85 for a nine year old who at barely anything. When we asked the front desk lady with told us "our menu has been up for weeks there was no children's price" and continued to argue with us that we somehow should have known there was no children's price despite being told misinformation over the phone. Even if we were incorrect there IS a polite way to say it, clearly this lady does not know how to speak to people let alone guests! She continued to argue with us in ear shot of guests who were turning their heads to see what the commotion was about, and when she did not want to speak with us any longer waved us off to someone else and yelled "can you speak to these WOMEN?!". What an embarrassment to this restaurant! We were later told that she is co-owner?! God help this restaurant if she actually owns a stake in the place, if this is how she is going to treat guests this restaurant is not going to survive. In addition to the above, some of the food came old cold and was not impressive at all. We had a good time a couple of years ago but will not be going back which is a shame because we live in the area. read more

My husband and I just spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this very peaceful, charming and delightful inn. Our room was very very nice, quiet and spacious with a fireplace, cute balcony and gorgeous marble bathroom with a soaking tub, large shower and separate room for the toilet. We cannot say enough about the staff who were all so friendly and courteous. We dined at both restaurants each day. The Barn for lunch and the Farmhouse for dinner. For lunch, the chopped salad, avocado toast, collard green wrap, and chicken with mango were all delicious. For dinner, the halibut was our favorite, and the duck pate, and the artichoke appetizers are not to be missed. George the maitre'd and his entire staff were all so friendly, attentive and professional. As a result, our dining experiences were all truly exceptional and we can't thank them enough. Overall, I would have liked to give the inn 5 stars, but for our personal tastes, we would have liked it more if the grounds were bigger with more to offer as my husband would have liked a fitness area (aside from yoga) and I would have liked more area to walk around for scenic views (there were walking trails but they happen to not be cleared well enough for a hike). However there are several areas a short drive away that we did enjoy. read more

one of the worst dining experiences we have had in a long time. First of all, we are very close neighbors to the Inn and have been wanting it to be successful for a long time. We want it to be our go-to place. On Sunday we booked dinner at The Barn. We were sat upstairs, you have two or three too many tables up there, we were at a two-top near the window, and the back of a gentleman on a four top was almost touching our table, we couldn't speak comfortably because they would of been part of our conversation, and in fact we were sat so close to them all we could hear was their conversation. You also have too many light large fixtures up there, it's claustrophobic. Anyway.... We ordered two shooters. Tasty but tiny. We then ordered Steak Frites and the Cod. We waited an eternity, water ran dry, no one checked on us. When the food came it was stone cold, the cod was served with a plate of cheap vegetables. The steak frite was chopped up with salad on top and and zero sign of any poivre sauce, I asked where it was and was told it was in the dish. If someone orders a classic meal, they want it served in a classic way - go to Odeon, Balthazar or Pastis, they are popular for a reason. The steak was also mushy. My wife didn't even touch the cod it was stone cold. No-one asked if we liked it, or were happy, the waiter just asked if we were done 30 mins later and we got the check and left. Massively disappointed in the experience. Your location and the lack of any competition means you could be really easily successful but your are failing to deliver food or service of any sufficient quality. read more

My wife and I coordinated a prewedding Brunch buffet at The Farm House Restaurant for our son and future daughter-in-law and about 70 guests this past Saturday afternoon with Anna ( the events coordinator). The event went flawlessly! Every detail was attended to by Anna and her staff. The food was delicious. The presentation perfect and the specialty cakes not only looked beautiful but had people asking where they came from ( made in house!). Anna had everything prepared a hour before the event and met the florist to place the arrangements. The service staff was professional and made sure everyone was well taken care of with drinks, water and coffee. I would not hesitate to host another party in The Farm House Restaurant of the BPI. read more

Sometimes, you just have to trust in your first impression. My first impression of the food here is 'mediocrity'. The cappuccino was bland, tasteless and lukewarm. The eggs on my Benedict (and another's at my table) were cooked through solid (see photo). The Dutch apple pancake was weirdly 'cake' and no 'pan'. One diner's gluten-free order arrived on an English Muffin. The hostesses demeanor was, for lack of a better description - odd. I could elaborate, but I won't. Positive elements include the attractive room, a good sticky bun, and the opportunity to ogle the vintage Aston Martin parked display-style out front. read more

The West Village comes to Westchester County; or is it the other way around? In any event, if you're urban-oriented with an appreciation for the best of rustic New Englandesque suburbia [and we're talking upper-middle class and above] you'll love the Bedford Post Inn for a relaxed and thoughtfully prepared and presented brunch. I did. I wasn't sure what to expect on the windy drive to the Inn and my first encounter was valet parking. But the lot is small, the staff is friendly and the car was professionally parked just feet from where I abandoned it. Inside the warm inviting 'barn' is a small coffee counter and spread of baked goods. Tables for 2, 4 and more were filled with healthy and well attired locals enjoying their $15 egg plates and $4 glasses of fresh squeezed oj. But the staff was friendly and accommodating for a couple who failed to make reservations even though we thought it might be a good idea. We had a table inside of ten minutes and the food hit the table within 20. Eggs were delicious; quiche was delicious - coffee was very good. A wood fire burned on one end of the restaurant, everyone was relaxed, friendly and accommodating. The grounds are pretty and the overall experience positive. Worth a trip? I'd say yes. read more

We took Kelli here for her birthday last month. Beautiful facility, fantastic food and very gracious hosting. Apparently it's owned by that guy who was in American Gigolo back in the 80s. There's also a Yoga Studio and Bed and Breakfast on the grounds. Would have been perfect had we drawn a waiter other than Mr. DIsgruntled Chip on His Shoulder Lit Major Who Hates People that Dine at Expensive Restaurants. Dude, we ALL worked in the service industry when we were EXACTLY your age: DEAL. Also, a French 75 does not have scotch in it. Didn't they teach you that a clown college? read more

5 stars all the way! My fiancè and I just had the most amazing meal of our lives here. Those complaining about small portions for a high price, it's fine dining. Deal with it or go somewhere you can afford. Every plate was expertly executed. Flavors were perfectly balanced. And the staff were true professionals. From the cocktails to the app, to the pasta, to the entree and finally dessert I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal with the most beautiful fiancè a man could ask for. My thanks to the chef for a perfect meal and to the staff for a great experience! Best of all, Martha Stewart was dining at the table next to us... :-) read more

Went for dinner 1/8/22 with another couple and a reservation in hand made a month prior. It was 18F outside and the table we were given was immediately in the draft-way of the busy front door, the opening and closing of which waved in whirlwinds of frigid air. We asked for a different table and were told we were rude for making the request; instead we were told we could dine outside. It was 18F! The only person outside was Bernie Sanders in his Inauguration Day costume. I incredulously asked the hostess if she way joking, to which she took objection and ordered us to leave the restaurant. We won't be darkening that drafty door again but certainly will tell the story about the restaurant so successful that the hostess orders new clients to leave. read more

This inn says it is a Relais and Chateau but I cannot imagine why. Room is most ordinary. There is a paltry lobby and not much else. Yoga is fine. The breakfast is appalling. First day it was this horrible yoghurt, a scone and coffee in a paper cup which one could make oneself. Next day this very sad croissant. Third day scones again but only one cup of coffee. I asked for body lotion but it never came. Reception staff is friendly. At $150.00-$200.00 it would be fine. At $650 it is highway robbery. There is no spa and no pool. Restaurant is separate, not part of the inn. The worst value i've ever experienced. read more

Finally made it. It was on my top list yet I took so darn long to get there. And, it's a Relais & Chateaux so shame on me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE R&C - they are my favorite places on the Earth. Only went for lunch at the Barn but it was lovely, exquisite and civilized. Driving onto the property you definitely feel as if you are on a R&C property. They all exude such a lovely vibe. They are all ineffable. Three of us had a variety of salads, fries, wines and desserts. How can it get better than that, right? You had me at buttery, oaky California chardonnay! Can't wait to go back for a luxurious dinner. read more

I had never been to a bed and breakfast before, so when my boyfriend surprised me with one for Christmas, I was really excited. I must say, It was absolutely perfect. Bedford is only about 45 minutes outside of Manhattan, so we wasted hardly any time in travel. Once we arrived in Bedford, it was as though we travelled to a different time. It's the quaintest, most ethereal little town. On top of that, it was covered in a blanket of snow- such a glorious winter wonderland! Once we arrived, Jackie at the front desk warmly welcomed us and showed us to our room. The room was gorgeous and the epitome of relaxation, complete with a fireplace, terrace, and standalone soaking tub. We had dinner at the Farmhouse our first night, and it was divine. A cozy table by the fire was the perfect touch. Our server, John, was so knowledgeable and kind. Peter was the sweetest manager, ensuring we were completely cared for. We finished dinner with a couple of scotches beside the outdoor fireplace with cuddly blankets. It's clear to me that Oscar Henquet, the general manager, is perpetuating a pretty smooth operation. Well done, sir. This was the most incredible mini vacation. Anyone who lives in New York City knows that sometimes you just need to escape the intensity to recharge your batteries. I feel like I eluded a few wrinkles just by taking a couple of days to decompress! Thank you to the gracious and hospitable staff at the Bedford Post Inn for creating the most unforgettable getaway! We will definitely be back soon. My fellow New Yorkers, if you need a quick dose of R&R, I feel confident in recommending this serene, romantic hideaway. read more

Update: This is my 2nd time at the Barn. Last time, I gave 3 stars because while the brunch food was good, it was a little cold. Today I was pleasantly surprised. It was a cold and rainy day, and we were seated right next to the warm fireplace. I ordered two poached eggs atop creamy polenta. It was delicious (and hot!). I love the organic coffees and teas there, and despite the waitress forgetting to bring my side order of bacon, I was happy. I was better off without the $5 bacon anyway, and she took it off the bill. I wish I could give 3.5 stars but... Yelp doesn't like 1/2 stars I guess. read more

The Barn: Incredible. Spectacular. Authentic. Highly recommend The Barn at the Bedford Post Inn. Ranging from the customer service, to the food, to the wine list and beyond, everything was wonderful. We have shared this with our family, friends and network. read more

We ate at the Farmhouse in 2018 for our last meal before our first child was born. I remember that the food was excellent, and the wine cellar stocked Brunello from Stella di Campalto, who is a top notch minor producer. Even ran into some friends from my city club, who were out for a night in the "country". Can't wait for the Farmhouse to reopen! read more

PERFECTION - there is no other word to describe our experience at the Bedford Post Inn. Planning our daughter's Bridal Shower Sunday Brunch was made easy from the very beginning by our BPI Events person, Anna. She has great communication skills, is detail oriented, and was always positive and creative in turning our visions into reality. The room in the farm house was the perfect size for our guests, with a wall of big windows, a side porch with two French doors and a charming rustic pergola. Every view was beautiful green with bursts of colorful flowers. The bride's attendants were invited to take photos on the bucolic grounds of the Inn. What a beautiful, peaceful venue. Everyone enjoyed the large variety of delicious choices at the vegetarian buffet. Anna liaison with the chef to offer classic brunch selections as well as unique contemporary options. Every guest commented on the quality and lusciousness of the food. The waitstaff were very attentive, courteous, and responsive to any request. Glasses were filled, plates removed, cutlery appeared, and coffee and cake served by a considerate and professional staff. All of the BPI employees were proactive in offering suggestions or asking if we needed help, i.e.; setting up a gift table, and immediately went into action to make it happen. Their efforts made our event flawless. Friends and family told us that they have never been to a better bridal shower. (I know, I know, but they could have just said it was "nice".) Our daughter's day was PERFECT, and I thank everyone at the Bedford Post Inn for making it happen. read more

Something is wrong here organizationally. I wanted to reserve a table for 12 guests for a post Baptism brunch at the Barn and made a reservation and was told there were no minimums. Then Anna reached out to me via email and said it needed to be a pre fix menu for $40/pp which was fine with us and we agreed. Then days later Kelly called to update me it would be a $1,500 minimum with a $150 fee to reserve the Chef's table as that was the only spot they could seat us. I asked why I got an email with very different information and she asked me to forward it along. I did so, and asked another question, and received no response. Terrible service and not at all what I'd expect from a Relais Chateaux property. I have stayed at many RC properties across the world and never experienced anything like this. It was their mistake and they should be trying to correct it. Additionally, on Dec 5th we stopped in for dinner after our Baptism class and there was an extremely intoxicated man in the parking lot screaming Anti Semitic obscenities. I don't know what's going on with this place but the new management needs to pull it together. read more

My family and I dropped in for cocktails and a few bites. Hector, the bartender was amazing; very kind, knowledgeable, and one of the best mixologists we've ever encountered. Our drinks were beautiful and delish! The appetizer order of lobster rangoon, blooming onion, and the tarte flambé did not disappoint. They were oh so good! We'll be back for sure! read more

Love. Love. Love We checked in yesterday at noon and were accommodated as we were to early. We went right to the "barn" and had an amazing lunch. Barn burger and Tuna melt with a few glasses of a wonderful California Chardonnay. Later we went to a wine tasting in the "cellar". After a wonderful nap in a pillow soft mattress, we awoke and went downstairs and sat by the fire as our table at "the farmhouse" was being set. Farmhouse is an outstanding dining experience. Food, wine, ambiance all Five stars. After having dessert by the fire we retreats up to our beautiful room. At 9 am coffee and breakfast were delivered complimentary. We ate and then went to a 10 am yoga class(also complimentary) All in all it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. Well worth it for a special weekend. read more

Had my wedding there Sept 2010... The ceremony was beautiful, the food was fantastic as expected, but the SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. I was appalled to see photos and learn from my husband that the bar at the reflection pool was opened at 5:30pm rather than as arranged in my contract for 6:30pm-7:30pm. This was not discussed, and not was I agreed to in my contract. I am confident that IF I had contracted for an open bar, staff would be vigilant in NOT opening the bar until the contracted time of 6:30pm. People were drinking AT my religious ceremony, which to me is clearly distasteful. -My cocktail hour ran until well over 8:30pm, when in fact I contracted for it to end at 7:30pm. They kept telling me they "were not ready" for us....why is this? And why was my event planner, who was meant to deal with me directly, slinging plates to guests and hauling around serving items when she was meant to handle the many issues that arose and deflect these issues from me? (THE POLICE ARRIVING, THE LACK OF WATER ON TABLES, the lack of wait staff taking ANY drink orders). If they are understaffed, that is not my issue, it's yours. What does it cost you to bring in a few more additional wait staff? -Upon my parents and groomsman/maid of honor toast, there was NO CHAMPAGNE to toast with. THERE WAS NOT even WATER on the table. NO BREAD!!! -I had arranged with staff to have a properly tallied bar tab. I clearly expressed to the event planner that I did not want to be handed a $5000 bill at the end of the night for the bar tab, when in fact, that is exactly what happened. - It was abundantly clear that the Bedford Post was severely understaffed and unable to properly execute this size and scope of an event such as a wedding. Why did I pay a 21% service fee?? In a meeting with RUSSELL (CO-OWNER WITH RICHARD GERE) he said a recent groom expressed "Even if the food was bad, service was shit, it would still be worth having my wedding here because of the beauty of the property..." I thought this to be a hypothetical at the time, clearly it is not a hypothetical. The service was abysmal. I tend to disagree with that groom. Yes I had a beautiful wedding, but NONE in part to the horrible service we were given. And NO the scenery and food to not erase that. I deliberated greatly in writing this as I was not sure if it was worth the aggravation and time of having to rehash the awful service experience we had at the Bedford Post for my WEDDING no less!!. Additionally, I am sure that owner RUSSELL (and RICHARD GERE) would not care at all about my sentiments based on the fact that they made NO attempt at reparations in the past even in light of my horrible experience with the Bedford Post over the past 9 months of planning this wedding. They can talk all they want about the upcoming accolades they are going to receive. It is easy for them to rest on their laurels or the "celebrity" influence they have behind them. If that is enough for you than the Bedford Post was obviously not the best choice for us in a wedding venue. We were looking for a venue with good food, stellar service and a place we could come back to year after year for anniversaries and holidays. I honestly cannot stomach the thought of continuing to be a patron at a facility that puts no worth in personal connections. BEWARE!!! GO TO BLUE HILL AT STONE BARN. read more

Uneven evening, I'd have to say. We came for the 6pm seating for Valentines, and sat in the high ceieling room with the fire. We called to say we'd be 30 late, due to a master grayson meltdown, and they were accomodating, yet on our way we got a perturbed call asking where we were. Seemed like the management duo in suits didn't coordinate at the front of the house, or have a jekle and hyde thing going.. the food was mostly superb - ravioli, venison, mushrooms. but the strachiatella wasn't soup, and the dessert came 40 minutes after the main. strangely, no one asked if everythign was ok while they bussed a near full portion away (usually a good hint something is amiss), or while we drummed fingers and used smartphones after the main. It seemed like the kitchen let the staff down. But the wait staff itself was uneven. we were rushed through courses, then slowed to a halt for dessert. neighbors were delivered incorrect plates- twice. another found a foursquare Amex promo that wasn't honored. When we asked about the slow dessert, the "get the manager sirens" almost went off, like he WANTED the confrontation. bottom line, for $150 per plate, food, service and management should be superb. not so tonight. Jekle and Hyde at best. read more

Review of Bedford Post Inn This review shall treat the Barn and Campagna (restaurants renting space at the Inn) as a separate entities. I took my wife to the Bedford Post Inn for a surprise anniversary weekend getaway. We had dined at the restaurant a few years before and thought the inn looked like it might be a nice place to stay one day. The inn looked like an intimate and quaint place to stay, but looks can be deceiving. When we arrived, we found our way to the front desk. The inn keeper made no introduction... no greeting whatsoever. We were carrying luggage, so it should have been plainly obvious that we were guests. I had called ahead and let them know this was a surprise anniversary stay. I also called Campagna to let them know as well. It was shocking that not a single inn keeper (there were two during our stay), nor a single waitress or Maître d' had any idea that it was our anniversary. For the price, the accommodations were fine. We had a cool looking room with a lovely bathroom that had heated floors. The service was pretty much abysmal. The free "continental" breakfast left a lot to be desired (it's a muffin basket and a coffee or juice). If you are still interested in staying here, be careful to reserve your table at the Barn in advance. Many non-guests crowd the place up on Sunday morning. The Barn hostess seemed to not know who we were and couldn't find us on the inn guest list. This didn't really feel like a bed and breakfast. Even though we identified ourselves as inn guests, the Barn seemed confused about our free continental breakfast. They pushed the full menu on us, which of course you end up ordering from because you can't really expect to feel nourished on muffins, jam, butter, and coffee alone. All-in-all the poor service is really what earned the Bedford Post Inn their 2 stars, otherwise it would have gotten a 3.25 Oh, and watch out for the thimble sized stink bugs flying and buzzing around your room. From Wikipedia: "Halyomorpha halys, also known as the brown marmorated stink bug, or simply the stink bug, is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, and it is native to" ... The Bedford Post Inn. Squash one and your room will be uninhabitable. Thanks for a subpar stay. We won't be coming back. Thanks for the hand written card though. It's too bad that's the only "special" thing you did to help us celebrate our anniversary. read more

I have eaten here a number of times, and while the food is well presented, the service is mediocre at best. Slow, forgetful, inconsistent. Last time I was there a hostess was working the front stand whom I know for a fact was fired from a different restaurant for being incompetent. Unfortunately this area is fairly sparse as far as restaurants are concerned, so it's probably going to stick around. read more
