The Great Gadsby

This weekend I couldn't wait to dine at Bedford, the newest addition to our neighborhood. Named after chef-owner Robert Gadsby's hometown in England, the restaurant offers a Progressive American cuisine with influences taken from his culinary studies in Italy, France, Singapore, Japan and Thailand. Gadsby is especially known for his customized on-the-fly creations at his previous namesake, Omni Hotels’ Noé.

With a focus on fresh and pure ingredients, it's no surprise the produce is grown on a rooftop garden. But my favorite feature is Chef Gadsby's open demonstation kitchen. Known as the Chef's Table, this 10-person, $150 each seating epitomizes a dining experience. Gadsby serves anywhere from 3 to 21 courses [depending on your appetite, so come hungry!] and cooks to your liking; no menu selections here! He offers tips and interacts as he prepares a special feast right before your eyes.

Bedford's vision, menu and exceptional customer service are certainly welcomed additions to Houston, and I'm thrilled to have this gem here in The Heights!
