| - This is my new "go to" recommendation for birthdays and celebrations of all sorts. The house is actually a mansion and surprises abound at every corner. The patio is amply sized, plus there are two semi-private, 30-person capacity rooms on the first floor, an entire second floor that you can pretty much have to yourself and - wait for it - a third floor with pool table, sexy fireplace and comfy couches that you can book for private functions. It has a sort of 'attic' feel to it - but not in a "Flowers In The Attic" or "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" way. "Good For Groups" is an understatement - this place is good for hordes of people.
Our server Heather was incredibly friendly and accommodating. In fact, every single person that I spoke to at Bedford tonight was professional and welcoming. I didn't sense an iota of attitude from anyone and when I had a million, random "Kat-esque" queries about the space, people were happy to provide me with information. Servers, take note: this is quality service the way diners like it - friendly but not over the top "I-wanna-be-BFF-and-sit-at-your-table", prompt and attentive. I never had to look for our server or wonder when she was going to get around to serving our table, even though the place was busy.
I ordered "Simone's Stellar Grilled Cheese" - and with a name like that I knew it'd be a beast to contend with: three slices of grilled marble rye packed with Canadian cheddar and emmenthal and topped with a wedge of brie. I opted for no sauteed onions or seasoned garlic tomatoes, and when my order came out wrong Heather was quick to go out of her way to make things right, pronto.
SO: grilled cheese! The bread was indeed marbled and rye - it looked beautiful and tasted even better. It's a monster sandwich that really stretches the limits of the mandible so pace yourself. Quality cheese - I mean, really, can you ever have too much cheese? And the fries, as mentioned by others, are indeed "famously good." I'm sure someone's going to tell me they were prepared in duck fat, but you know what? I LOVE DUCKS.
