The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Foxwoods is Open
The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut is now open! Please make your reservations to visit soon and let me know what you think.
I am so thrilled to open the doors to this 10,000 square foot, 204-seat dining destination thoughtfully decorated much like my Bedford, New York farm. The menu features many of my own favorite dishes - all with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Among them - Big Martha's Pierogies, Oysters Rockefeller, my Honey Mustard Salmon, and Pasta Limone. 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. My team worked tirelessly to get the restaurant ready for you! I know you're going to love it!
Here are some photos, enjoy.
-
- My second-ever restaurant opened its doors for business over the weekend. The Bedford by Martha Stewart is now on the east coast! And it’s open for breakfast and dinner seven days a week with lunch on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can’t wait to hear what you think.
-
- The bar is long and fills one entire side of the restaurant. Come and enjoy my delicious signature cocktails.
-
- This is The Green Room, which is inspired by my own Green Parlor at the farm – the paint colors, the hanging Drabware plates, and the furniture are all very similar to what I have at home. This room is separate from the main dining area and available for private parties.
-
- The windows in The Green Room dining room look out to videos taken of my gardens and allées. In fact, one of them even includes me riding by on one of my trusted Friesians.
-
- If you follow my blog regularly, you may recognize some of the same design styles throughout the restaurant. These pots hang above the white marble topped counter just like they do in my own Winter House kitchen.
-
- The copper pots and pans in a variety of sizes come from my MARTHA by Martha Stewart collection.
-
- For opening weekend, my faux bois planters available at my shop on Amazon, were filled with blooming plants – just like I do at home.
-
- All around the main dining room are large black and white photos of me as a model.
-
- Last minute preparations are made to the table settings – everything is set perfectly.
-
- Every piece is checked and checked again. And notice the colors – the walls, furniture, and the wait staff uniforms are shades of Bedford Gray.
-
- Place settings are done in crisp white with silver flatware. Individual salt and pepper bowls are added – just like I do at home for guests.
-
- I display many of my crystal and glass pieces on shelves and inside glass cases in my home. My team worked hard to bring my Bedford home to you – and they did an excellent job.
-
- In one corner is a merchandise area showcasing some of my books and other products available for purchase.
-
- Here are some pieces from my kitchen collections. Items can be purchased during one’s visit to The Bedford by Martha Stewart and added to the dining check. It’s one stop eating and shopping.
-
- Here is another counter display showing my hanging pots and plants.
-
- There are more than 200 seats for guests – some in open, airy spaces and others tucked away for more quiet and intimate conversations.
-
- The staff is large and everyone is given detailed training.
-
- By early evening, the kitchen is buzzing with chefs preparing for the launch party.
-
- Lights are dimmed and table lamps are turned on.
-
- Drink menus are decorated with faux bois, a pattern I love and use on various walls of my home. Several are propped up for guests to peruse.
-
- And wait until you see who attends this exciting event. In my next blog, I will share lots of photos from our launch party – it was so much fun.
