Celebrating the Opening of The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Foxwoods

I can't wait to hear what you think about The Bedford by Martha Stewart, my east-coast restaurant located at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. It's open and already we're getting so many excellent responses to our menu and our food!

The 204-seat dining destination is inspired by my 1925 country farmhouse in Westchester, New York. The menu features a selection of my own favorite recipes - all with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Last week, we celebrated its opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony, various media interviews and photos, and a party attended by friends, colleagues, business partners, and other celebrities including Christie Brinkley, former Olympic figure skater, Johnny Weir, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, and Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell. Guests sampled many of the menu offerings and enjoyed my signature cocktails. It was a wonderful and successful event. And now the next time you're in Southeastern Connecticut and are looking for elegance, warmth, charm, and the most flavorful meals, be sure to go to The Bedford by Martha Stewart.

: The Green Room is modeled after my own Green Parlor – complete with the paint colors and decorative accents. This room is set apart from the main dining area and can be reserved for private events.

: In the main dining area, we set up stations for guests. This is the seafood display and ice carving.

: This station includes chilled seafood and a raw bar. One of the most popular stations of the evening.

: The shrimp, lobster, and half shells are all locally sourced and was so fresh.

: On the back kitchen counter, a bread bar including the house made garden flatbreads, with sour cherry-rosemary focaccia, and warm Parker House rolls.

: There was also Caesar Salad with lots of parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.

: My Short Rib Blended Mini Sliders were passed around – trays emptied in seconds.

: Ramekins of my Pasta Limone were also a big hit.

: And here’s one of three caviar cart stations, where one could eat caviar atop mini blinis or on the bump – a refined, direct-to-skin tasting on the hand to get the full, pure flavors of the fish roe.

: We also had a pierogi making demo station.

: Desserts include Classic Crème Brulée.

: There were also samples of my chocolate cake.

: And one of my own favorites, mini Upside Down Lemon Meringues.
