    The Bedford and its General Manager should hold itself and its staff members more accountable.

    The General Manager provided me with his business card as my party left his restaurant Saturday, January 28, 2017.

    As the General Manager requested, I followed-up on the concerns regarding the reservation and service. The concerns were as follows:

    (A) The reserved section did not accommodate 20 persons. The expectation was for 3 booths only 2 booths were reserved for our party of 20.

    (B) The one service attendant was not prepared for a party of 20 and neither was the management/staff. There should have been at least 2 servers for a party of 20.

    (C) The guests had to sit separately at the hi-top table for approximately 1.5 hours until the other party at the third booth finished their meal.

    (D) The drink service for premium open bar for two hours was not efficient or economical for my guests because only 1 server was assigned to the party and the party was split apart based on lack of promised reserved seating.

    (E) The tables were not periodically cleaned and cleared of glasses and plates until I requested someone remove the dirty dishes (more than one occasion).

    (F) The guest were not greeted and directed to the party. Many occasions I ran back-and-forth to check coats for guests and direct guests to the tables.

    (G) The employee who assisted in booking our reservation did not let me know she would not oversee the event. She left during the first 30 minutes of the party without introducing me to the General Manager or any other management.

    (H) The first four requests to speak with the General Manager were not obliged. I had to ask the hostess 3 times and a server one time before the General Manager came to the table to introduce yourself.

    (I) The accountability for not having 3 booths was lacking. The General Manager stated he did not promise 3 booths only 2 booths. The General Manager also stated you would check in with me at the end of the party to "take care" of the issues with billing and service.

    (1) The General Manager did not check in with me or follow-up, even though I expressed to you the 'calamity of errors.'

    (2) The presumption is and my memory recalls a 3 booth reservation is likely accurate because you did not even keep your word to follow-up when the bill arrived; and

    (3) Nearly 3 months later, Bedford staff and management have not responded to direct mail, e-mail, or phone calls from me and my bank for the $1,730.43 horrible experience for a surprise birthday party.

    (J) The valet attendant was rude and sarcastic to the group of 60 year olds as they were leaving the birthday celebration, which escalated the prior poor service (listed above).

    The Bedford never responded to these concerns, which displays it does not appreciate its customers, even when they book an early $2000.00 party. Please contact me regarding your additional promise to "take care" of the issues.

    Awesome place! I really enjoyed the ambience and interesting that this place used to be a bank. Where else can you sip cocktails while in an old vault? The cocktails are good too. I had the "dark & stormy" and the "airmail" cocktails. The bar tender was also really nice. This is definitely a place I would like to come back to. Perfect place to bring a date. Dress code is dressy.

    The space here is pretty amazing.
    They have a bank vault. A mother f****** bank vault.
    And you can drink in it.
    The rest of the place works well with the whole "used to be a bank" theme.
    The atmosphere is very nice and classy.
    I have never tried the food but the drinks are pretty good but a little on the pricey side.
    There is some space to dance but not a lot of it which was kind of a bummer since the DJ playing that night was really good.

    Fantastic place! Amazing, interesting cocktails, great beer and whiskey selection. Really cool vibe with great music. This place is inside of what used to be a bank safe and has fun decor to go along with the theme. I would definitely go back!

    Had a company event here in the vault. So very cool! You are literally in the vault of the bank with an actual vault door (open of course) to walk through and hundreds of safe deposit boxes on the wall. Appetizers were tasty and staff was friendly. It's easy to miss the building, it's on the corner and had only a small black awning to mark the front door. Definitely worth finding, though!
