Love. The Bedford: Williamsburg


When our friend Jill calls to schedule a dinner, it is our excuse to try Williamsburg's gastro-offerings. We're usually pleased, but this week we were impressed! When Jill recommended The Bedford, we quickly googled and loved the look of the interior (btw, it's about 20 minutes from Union Square), so it was a go! We sat for a drink at the bar waiting for everyone to arrive- a nice Ommegang is great after a long day. At the table, we tried the kielbasa (made in-house) with pickles, greens and mustard and crispy risotto balls- both absolutely wonderful. The kielbasa was smokey, grilled and wonderful- not greasy. The risotto balls were amazingly delicate and creamy with a country bacon gravy that made my eyes roll back (yup!). Skirt steak? Perfectly cooked with a wonderful, salty flavor and the little potatos were the same. We had Old Bay fries (put Old Bay on anything and I'm there) and a chive spatzel that were little nuggets of delicious that weren't overpowered by the chive or any other spice...buttery and crisp. To finish up, I'm embarassed to say that I haven't the slightest idea what the lemon dessert I had was called, but it was warm and sweet and just tart enough to make it memorable. In short, we'll go back...the look of the restaurant is great, the food is terrific and the staff was very friendly and warm.
