Diner Reviews

"Great option for affordable fine dining. The food is always outstanding and the portions are huge for fine dining. The service is hit or miss; the staff is trained well but service often comes off as awkward and rehearsed. I wish the menu changed more often or they had specials - it would make us come back more often. We love going to the tavern because they're constantly tweaking the menu."

"We sat by the fireplace staff fantastic. Wonderful dinner. Don't however go to Tavern at lunch, Brett couldn't smile even when we were the only people at the bar."

"When it's a special occasion my wife and I have always had the best food and the best service at the Bedford Village in Restaurant. We enjoyed a belated Valentines Day dinner there by the fire in a quiet little room. Dinner was spectacular. If we are out for a quick bite, we enjoy the tavern or corks. Great bar menu and good prices."

"We were given a table in the corner of the conservatory room. It was still light when we arrived and the outdoors was a winter wonderland. As it darkened the little white lights on the trees showed up more and it was lovely and romantic. We were having Valentine's Day late, to miss the crowds, so this was just perfect. Our waiter was attentive but not overly so. The food was tasty, well presented, cooked to our specifications (steak) and timed nicely. We wish we could afford to eat here more often, but the occasional splurge is nice!"

"many restaurants have great food, but, to have great food and great waiters and staff, makes Bedford Village Inn and Restaurant stand above the rest. Thank you all for a very enjoyable evening and we will be back. Luis is a treasure."

"On our arrival our waiter announced there were no specials and what was on the menu was what they had to offer. He did not return until much later after we had decided for ourselves what we were going to order. We would have liked some info on the interesting sounding entrees to make up our minds, but he was no where to be found. Our Quail appetizer was good and tasty but VERY over cooked with the meat welded to the wing bones. The salad was good. The fillet (ordered rare) was med. rare and was swimming in wine sauce with soggy onion rings . The atmosphere was pleasant and romantic, but the price of our meal ($150ish) warranted much better service. I don't recommend this restaurant. With fine dining I expect more than just a expensive meal."

"The food is goo, the atmosphere is great and the wine selection is outstanding. We strongly recommend BVI for any special occasion. You won't be disappointed."

"My husband and I enjoyed a quiet dinner this past Saturday at the Bedford Village Inn. Although parking was a bit of a challenge, the restaurant was lovely and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our waiter was pleasant and accommodating and we will definitely make a return visit in the future."

"Everything about the BVI is excellent! We always enjoy going the wine bar first for a glass of wine and then head downstairs to dinner. Both environments have the perfect atmosphere. Food is sensational!"

"Went there to celebrate a new job. Food was awesome and creative, service impeccable. Only thing I'd consider any kind of heads-up is that you should plan for a full evening. The wait-staff doesn't rush things, and the experience is designed to be leisurely. If I was taking someone out for something romantic, this is the place I'd go."

"We were looking for a new place to have brunch on Sunday and decided on the Bedford Village Inn. We received excellent attention from the moment we arrived until we left. The hostess fulfilled our request or a fireside table, the servers were delighful and prompt and our bil was presented when we were ready for it. The food was excellent and the jams were special. Can't wait to go again. A note to OpenTable: I do not understand why none of my restaurant choices qualify for points. If Open Table is making the reservations and recgnizes me as soon as I log on, why not provide the points? This occurred at the Bedford Villge Inn and at the Seaglass Restaurant."

"BVI continues its tradition of excellence with perfectly prepared dishes and outstanding service. Perfect for an evening where you want to be pampered and gastronomically impressed."
Dined on 7/25/2013
"We love the BVI. Stay and pamper, or visit for a great brunch, lunch or nice evening out. Up-casual at the bar makes it a nice place to meet for an after work or pre-dinner cocktail. Service is wonderful."

"This was a special occasion for my wife and I, which was handle as such from our arrival at the check in to all the staff that assisted at the table. We were not rushed and we were able to talk quietly without being disturbed. The meal was cooked to perfection as we both ordered filet mignon and the presentation was like a picture in a magazine. The wine we selected was delightful and our dessert we share was a creme brulee which was more that wonderful. Our evening was very special and we will long remember it and we will return in the future."

"Just moved to Bedford; Refreshing to find such a delicious, versatile, lovely, historical, and charming restaurant in my new hometown. Service couldn't have been better; and, the food was as good as you will ever find anywhere. Perfect spot for everyone, every occasion! A real class act - has it all!"

"This experience was much better than my last visit about a month or so ago. Obviously the last time was an exception. I was pleased we gave them another try. Our whole dining experience was as expected. The service was excellent along with the food."

"I ordered the Braised Short Rib as an appetizer. It was delicious and believe it would do well as a main entree. However, at $16 it was a tad overpriced. My wife and daughter had the Roasted Colorado Lamb Loin as an entree which they both thought was overcooked, chewy, and unsatisfying. I had the Brandt New York Sirloin. It was cooked to perfection and exceptionally flavorful. For desert we tried the Chocolate Valentino (just okay) and the Seasonal Souffle (a little better). The menu was rather unimaginative overall. Many of the entrees were prepared with similar starches and vegetables. For a drink, I would highly recommend the Lemon Drop Martini. Our waiter was both attentive and charming. He provided our family with outstanding service."

"Every year my friends and I get together after Christmas for dinner at the Bedford Village Inn. We know it is a little pricey but dining there is an event so we don't mind. The Christmas decorations are gorgeous and the service impeccable. Get the chocolate bag for dessert. You will not be disappointed."

"My wife and I enjoyed a pre-holiday dinner at the Bedford Village Inn. The service was terrific and the food was delicious."
Dined on 12/21/2013
"I had requested a table in a room we have always had. Instead was placed in in a dark room and was crammed in an area where one person at our table was constantly bumped into when staff walked by. Every time they came to the other side of the table they were reaching over others of us. It was the worst experience and since I was bringing someone who had never been there I wanted this to be nice. I made this reservation early and even called to make sure I got our special room. Probably won't be back for awhile. Wasn't happy at all."
Dined on 12/21/2013
"Came here with a group from work, expecting to return to work after our luncheon. We arrived at 12:30 and didn't get out of there until close to 3. Service very slow, a few of our plates were a little cold. We've been here before, so realize it was probably an 'off' day."
Dined on 12/13/2013
"Especially elegant at this season, when local florists decorate each of the several dining rooms and areas. The food is of the highest quality (Colorado lamb, for instance) and locally sourced when possible. Servers are well-trained, very pleasant and attentive without being intrusive. Great wine list: many outstanding vintages, and a few very nice ones in the $40 - 80 range. well-paced timing of meal, and luscious truffles (original style) as lagniappe with the check. One of my favorite places in New Hampshire (and the accommodations at the Inn are without parallel and extremely comfortable). I also recommend the BVI as a terrific breakfast venue to start off a day in comfort and refinement."

"Celebrating our anniversary was so wonderful. A lovely table by a fireplace decorated and adorned a lovely note wishing us a happy anniversary. Everything was perfect. The staff, the food and most of all the love of my life?"

"The Bedford Village Inn is an old country farmhouse converted to a very nice restauran with ambiance and historical character. The wait staff and especially the Maitri D were excellent. Food was out of this world with reasonable proportions. It was a great way to celebrate my wife's birthday."
Dined on 11/17/2013
"The food, service, and food were flawless. The steaks surpassed any of the steaks we have had in Boston's best steak houses. The main restaurant was country elegant, warm and welcoming.we woukd recommend this to anyone."
Dined on 11/20/2013
"I have lived in the neighborhood for more then half my life but had never had a meal at BVI. Unfortunately, I should have gone when I first moved to NH. It was a bit dated, my guess is that it was an amazing place 20 years ago. The service was good and the food was good, but it was just a bit past its prime."
Dined on 11/1/2013
"We celebrated my sister in law's 50th birthday. It is one of my favorite venues. We had my son's rehearsal dinner there 13 years ago. We had my 60th birthday celebration there. I had also attended a beautiful Christmas wedding there. Always an elegant and delightful venue."

"To say the least, we had a marvelous time. Our waitor, Louis, was very attentive and friendly. Everyone was so gracious and accomodating. And the food was AWESOME!! It was a GREAT evening. Thank you."

"An impressive wine list, unsurpassed service and delicious food, what more do you need to know!"
Dined on 10/28/2013
"… but the food did not meet expectations set by menu. Lamb should be tender, after observing my attempts to saw through my portion, my server offered a steak knife. A garnished listed as “maple rice puffs” was served in the form of crunchy dry grains of rice across the plate. They were neither maple in flavor, nor puffed. This entree was not a $38 item. The two other diners with me felt their pork was okay. The atmosphere here is elegant, the main dining room is very formal, antique colonial. The service was good, but a bit slow. The restaurant was hosting both a wedding and a bonfire on the same evening. Perhaps just a little too much was going on?"
Dined on 10/26/2013
"My husband and I chose BVI for our one year wedding anniversary. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. They even went the extra mile to put a candle in our delicious "chocolate bag" dessert with Happy Anniversary scrolled across a piece of chocolate."
