The Bedford by Martha Stewart is the latest plus to an on-going dining revamp at theParis Hotel and Casino . The resort is keeping what work out ( Gordon Ramsay Steak , Mon Ami Gabi , the Eiffel Tower Restaurant ) while replacing what does n’t with flashy , high - profile newcomers : a cocktail lounge by Lisa Vanderpump , an oddly everyday version ofNobu , anda burger counter from Bobby Flaythat ’s quick becoming omnipresent in casinos go by Caesars Entertainment .
Yet it ’s The Bedford that ’s most guaranteed to quarter your care , with an inviting covered terrace lined with blossom foliation and an interior that ’s pattern after Martha ’s New York farmhouse — and that ’s not hyperbole . The design team took extensive picture of Stewart ’s estate in Bedford , New York , nailing down detail from the flooring to the light fixtures and even the furniture with laser - focused accuracy .
While the patio volunteer a northeast coastal ambience amid Vegas people - watching , the best seats in the house are in the " Brown Room , " a private dining area that really does feel like a high - closing HGTV remode . Other tables in the promising , opened dining room fertilise off the energy of the centralised Browning automatic rifle and a engaged open kitchen . The copper cookware that dangles above the chef ’s post is stringently decorative ( and available for purchase , along with other items displayed throughout the dining room ) .
Just like any good host , The Bedford does n’t cut corners with the menu , even make for in a exceptional squad to aim the kitchen staff to get things up to Stewart ’s gamy banner .
Led by executive chef Brian Stroud , the food is presented in a nasty , efficient menu that baulk stock raw material that dominate Strip restaurants . No branzino or devilfish here . The steak selection is kept to just two prime cuts ( a New York Strip and bone - in Ribeye ) from Niman Ranch . Here , component and proficiency take centre stagecoach , with plates that draw intrigue while touching on elements of American and French cuisine .
The eating house ’s signature Whole Roasted Chicken entryway is glut with rosemary , thyme , and brioche breadcrumbs and carved tableside surveil a two - sidereal day process demand a saltiness saltwater and herb brioche butter . It ’s sore and fat with a soft , crispy skin . Yes , the price is high for chicken ( $ 89.95 ) , but then again , it ’s meant for two to share .

If you only pick one side sweetheart , go with the Baked Potato , which number with a tableside presentation of its own . The Yukon Au white potato is turned upside - down and smashed on a wood board , letting out the steam and soften the grain . ( " Martha say it makes the Irish potato fluffy , " the server informs . ) It ’s served with crème fraîche in position of sour cream and plump lardons instead of traditional Francis Bacon . If you have way for a 2d side , try the Tian , a seasonal veg casserole of zucchini , squash , peppers , and Lycopersicon esculentum with a garlic butter sauce .
The Crab Cake , ricotta - englut Zucchini Blossoms , and Steak Tartare are recommended appetizers , but depending on your appetite , a twosome could well share one of three pasta dishes too . Better yet , go with Big Martha ’s Pierogies , named after Stewart ’s mother and based on a Polish tater dumpling formula lead down through the family . Like with the smashed spud , node are given an alternative to add Golden Osetra caviar for an ample upcharge .
Stewart ’s much - discussed Upside - Down Lemon Meringue Pie is a nice blend of taste and grain , but the Apple Tarte Tatin is a more satisfying dessert with the bouquet balanced by a semi - sharp buttermilk sorbet .

The beverage program is n’t messing around either . The cocktails are strong and smashed — even the Manhattan is comfortable on the sweetness , despite the luxardo cherries . An Old Fashioned goes down with less resistance , thanks to a third power of chocolate-brown sugar . The Martha - tini , made with Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka and dry vermouth , is prepared tableside when order for two , using a rustic 84 - ounce mover and shaker ( " Martha loves passee shaker " ) and finished with a lemon tree turn of events .
It ’s a great martini . The smooth and easy Martha - rita is even honorable and comes the closest to excuse its price with the addition of Casa Dragones tequila . And here ’s where we question the restaurant . Yes , the prices are high on the solid food . No surprise there . But can any cocktail be worth $ 22.95 when it does n’t come with a five - dollar vizor as garnish ?
A decent wine inclination is also usable , with delegacy from France , California ’s Napa Valley , and even Australia — plus 19 Crimes ’ Snoop Dogg Cali Red . ( bazaar warning : a bottle give-up the ghost for $ 75.95 , quite a jump from its grocery computer memory price . )
