I am thrilled to open the doors to this 194-seat dining destination thoughtfully decorated much like my Bedford, New York farm. The menu features French-inspired cuisine along with some of my own favorite recipes - all with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Among them - Classic Niçoise Salad, Oysters Rockefeller, Whole Roast Herb Chicken served with my Smashed Baked Potato. And for dessert, my Upside-Down Lemon Meringue Pie. These are some of the same dishes I serve to family and friends when I entertain. And don't forget, at The Bedford by Martha Stewart, one can also enjoy my signature cocktails, such as my Martha-tini and my delicious Frozen Pomegranate Martha-rita. We've worked tirelessly to bring my farmhouse in Bedford, New York to life in Las Vegas! I know you'll love the food and your visit to The Bedford!
Here are some photos, enjoy.
We did it! All our hard work has paid off. Today is the opening day for my first-ever restaurant, The Bedford by Martha Stewart. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Here is a peek inside The Bedford. Hanging copper pans in a variety of sizes from my MARTHA by Martha Stewart collection adorn the kitchen area.

This décor in The Bedford was inspired by my own 1925 farmhouse in New York. I display many of my crystal entertaining pieces on shelves in my Winter House Brown Room.
Similar prints were put up on the walls – also inspired by photos decorating the rooms in my home.
Our kitchen is large with top-quality all stainless steel appliances.
The windows in this area of the dining room look out to photos of my paddocks, boxwood, and my allée of majestic pin oaks.
Another restaurant cabinet shows the many cake stands and dishes inspired by my own personal everyday collections.
Over the last couple of weeks, our team has been working hard to get all the finishing touches done in time for opening day. Here, menus are taken out of the boxes and folded.
The wait staff gathers to review the computer programs for ordering and check out processes.
Final touches are also made at the bar, where signature cocktails such as my Martha-rita and my Martha-tini will be made.
Cocktail napkins feature the sycamore tree – the symbol of my Bedford farm.
Here’s our own EVP of Home, Kevin Sharkey, and our Culinary EVP, Thomas Joseph, who were both instrumental in the development of The Bedford by Martha Stewart.
Here I am with Chef Pierre Schaedelin and the talented team of chefs at The Bedford. Chef Pierre is the owner of PS Tailored Events. He and I have planned many menus together for my parties and gatherings at all my homes. He also helped to develop the delicious menu for The Bedford.
Here’s a wide view of the restaurant showing some of the outdoor space with the Bedford Gray furniture and beautiful lush green boxwood, climbing clematis, and ferns. Doesn’t this area remind you of my winding pergola at my farm?
Just before our launch party last night, the white marble dessert buffet table was set.
And look who surprised me and came to the opening – my dear friend, Snoop Dogg! He never disappoints!
I am so happy with how The Bedford turned out. I know you’ll love it too.
