It's a cool place overall if you're coming to grab a drink. People working there are super friendly and chat you up. They have fun concoctions like banana old fashioned and a large beverage menu including sangria, beer, wine and quite a few non alcoholic options. I ordered a mac and cheese burger which apparently they're known for, however it's just not my jam. It's very greasy and over seasoned. If you really love American food then you might like it! I wish I ordered something else as their menu is vast. Next time!

Just had dinner here and it had gone down hill. Service was on point and staff was friendly. Burrata - let's rename this to a mozzarella ball. I would not recommend. 0 out of 10Drinks were not good. I got the paloma and it tasted like sweet juice. Plank burger- regular burger nothing to brag about. Had better. Pepperoni and soppressata pizza - very oiley and was ok. Give it a 3 out of 10.

I ordered delivery. The heirloom kale caesar salad was delicious. The kale was crunchy and fresh. It was loaded with croutons, onions, and rich cheese. It was filling and flavorful.I also enjoyed the cherry tomato pizza. It had a very thin crust with perfectly baked tomatoes and fresh basil. They offer personal size pies with four slices, as well as larger, shareable 12 inch pies. For dessert, I had the french toast fritters. An order included four fritter balls, which were stuffed with nutella and raspberry jam. The combination of flavors almost tasted like caramel. The fritters were served with whipped cream and were very tasty.I will definitely order from here again.

We strolled in here as a group of 6 around 7 pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately. The vibe was dimly lit and romantic but not too fancy at the same time. All the dishes we got were great but there were definitely some stand outs. The Mac and cheese burger was yummy but with the "bread" being Mac and cheese it's impossible to hold it like a burger so you have to deconstruct it. I almost wish it was a Mac burger bowl. The mushroom pizza was a favorite as well with very fresh flavor and good seasoning. Finally, the blueberry crumble is a must try- absolutely out of this world! It was perfectly warm, tart, sweet and topped off with a dollop of ice cream. Our server was also incredibly kind and helpful. The prices were reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend trying them out!

I went on a date to the Bedford this past weekend and I had a pretty good time. The restaurant itself is small but it's perfect for a cozy date. If you have a choice in seating I recommend the seats to the right of the entrance up the three stairs in the corner. It's in the cut but you can see the whole restaurant from there. You can also sit next to your person as opposed to across the table. I enjoyed my Hanger steak and fries. Finally a restaurant who knows how to cook steak medium! I loved the chimichurri as a topping. That really set it off. Idk if I'm greedy or what but I still wanted more of it so my date let me order the same meal to go! He also enjoyed his sandwich. Of course I had to try some of his lol it was a little salty but I still I liked it. I'm a toppings girl so I think the aioli sauce with the pickle back slaw gave it the flavor. For drinks, I got the Southerner which was pretty good but my date got a Whisky Sour and THAT was phenomenal. Not on the menu but I loved it better than what I got!We were seated right away which was perfect. Our waitress was cool too. All in all, I'd recommend.

We happen to be in the area & stopped by, noticed that they were still serving brunch which was cool since we were not expecting that. we were seated right away, drinks I had the Winter sangria it was good, nice taste hubby had Junipero good as well both strong we had a nice buzz by the time we left. Food we tried the Risotto balls aka arancini they were so good, great tasting pesto sauce. Main dish were the Lemon Ricotta pancakes, yumm they were delicious great taste combination with the chantilly cream no real need for the syrup , it was just right without it & not crazy sweet. The place has kind of a laid back vibe, industrial type decor. Service was good, decent prices & nice music playing we had a good last minute brunch.

Always my go to spot when I'm craving grilled cheese and tomato soup for take out or dinning in. They have tasty bar/American food and specialty cocktails. They have an interesting chai martini on the menu, sadly I wasn't able to try it because they were out of the chai needed to make the drink. Service is quick and efficient. It's a lovely bar and connected to the pizza place next door.

Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...we have been here several times for brunch and dinner. It's more comfort food and has always been delicious. I have even stopped here to pick up dinner for the family. The staff if courteous and always give great customer service. I have never seen it overly crowded but just enough that it's not loud. After a day of shopping or just walking around Williamsburg this is a nice spot to just relax and enjoy.
