Bedford Post Inn

On a very hot July evening, my husband and I were able to get one of the last seatings.  It is beautifully landscaped and a very charming building.  We knew immediately we were going to try the tasting menu.  Overall, it was nice but nothing to write home about..for sure it would be disappointing if we compare it to other tasting menus we've enjoyed in NYC and SFO.  Off the tasting menu, the salad was fantastic, the lobster in the seafood pasta was chewy, the skirt steak was sitting in a cup of oil and some herbs (and we couldn't muster up any smiles when the waiter said the steaks were flown in from Ohio), and I honestly can't remember the rest of the meal but it was nothing to write home about.  For that area, I expected it to stand out.  For that price I would say there are far better places to enjoy nearby.

I've heard Chef Jeremy is wonderful, maybe we should have confirmed he was in before we headed over.  I will give it another try, specifically to try what the chef does with a cut of meat from John Boy's Farm.

Very nice breakfast at the Barn outside on the patio.  Smoked salmon crepe cake was tasty, as well was the quinoa lentil salad.  Been here a few times for dinner, but was a first for breakfast/lunch.  Barn is more casual and laid back so we enjoyed sitting in shorts and sandals able to enjoy the nice weather.

Breakfast at the Beford Post Inn:  the food was impressive from the traditional to some great alternatives.  Duck egg with Asparagus and And the quinoa lentil salad.   However, the service was poor and not just for us, many tables around us were either asking for their checks or telling the server that they were ready to order.  Note to Management- please train your staff.  The server was buried and no one bailed her out.   So, Food Is a 4 and service is it 2 at breakfast.
