The Crystal Room - Bedford

I can only speak for breakfast. Came here in Dec 2022. I had the breakfast sandwich. It was just so-so. It came with fried seasoned potatoes which were terrible. They were soggy and a little undercooked and surely made perhaps the day before and reheated. And EVERYTHING is ultra expensive. The sandwich cost $16 and one coffee $7. (It is big enough to share though so keep that in mind. The very mundane breakfast buffet is $26 per person. Add in coffee and it's like eating at the 5 seasons hotel but without the quality. Crazy! Add in tip and breakfast for one was $30. To be frank... I would guess some of these high rating reviews may be peppered with staff weighing in to up the overall rating. Just my guess though.

Probably the nicest place to stay and dine in Bedford. Beautiful decor. Very classy atmosphere. Great wine and cocktail selections. The food menu has a nice selection of appetisers, and main items that includes really nice cuts of steaks and fish. This restaurant is known for their steaks. Feel free to give it a try. I was hungry enough for anything heavy tonight. I selected the Caesar salad. It's was a very small serving, but was nicely presented. The French onion soup was very good. I recommend it! Lastly, I ordered the crab cake. It was a generous portion, topped with sliced avocado. I wasn't all that impressed with it. Lacked flavour, in my opinion. Service was very good. Stephen was our server. He understood the menu very well and was very good at explaining the preparation of each item I asked him about. Pricing. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The items are very gourmet in size. Great quality. I felt the pricing was a little too high for the area. I guess they're able to charge whatever they like since there's nothing else around here. Overall, this was a nice place to dine. I would recommend it for a special occasion with an overnight stay (the hotel is beautiful). Be prepared to spend some money. Totally worthwhile, since there's nothing else close to this type of restaurant in Bedford. I would visit again to try one of the steaks, since the restaurant is known for their steaks. Otherwise, not all that impressive, but willing to give it another try.

Just as elegant, historical steeped in American Colonial settings, with elegant crystal chandeliers and three (3) separate dining areas from which to choose.

Excellent dining experience. Ashley and Matt were exceptional servers. The chocolate sphere dessert was delicious and creative. Highly recommend!

Staying at the resort for a couple of nights. We had been there before, I guess when it was much less crowded? So we 're really surprised that the restaurant was fully booked for that evening and was closed the second night of our stay. Randomly, I checked on open table a couple of hours later to see when the table would open up and a 7:30 spot had randomly become available. Score! Like most summer 2021 diners, my husband and I hadn 't gone out to eat much recently and were super excited to get some good steaks. I started with the French onion soups which was meh. Not super hot, not oozy melting cheese on top, just a crostini on the side. My husband got the Caesar salad which he deemed decent. Only about 5 leaves total so don 't expect a huge dinner salad. We ordered two steaks (the filet and the ribeye), sautéed spinach, truffle fries and the Mac n cheese. Steaks were good and cooked to order. My ribeye was just ok. It didn 't have the sear on it that I like and expect from good steak houses. Sides were al okay though nothing to write home about. Mac n cheese was lukewarm. I don 't think I had a single bite of my meal that I could say oh wow! That was delicious! It was all just ok or good. Note on wine- when we went all the moderately priced reds were sold out (ie, under $120). We were about to be bummed until we learned you can order the bottles on the front of the menu- ie, the by the glass options, in bottle form and there were plenty of options there to choose from. Would have like to order dessert but all the options seemed, in my opinion, too cute. Like the restaurant was trying to hard to be fancy and progressive. Adding honey to the cheesecake or pine nuts to a chocolate torte. Would have loved a more simplistic, though well crafted option.
