Chips and queso
Kyle C.

Very disappointing from the start. The table was sticky and filthy, with remnants of old napkins stuck to it. The Bloody Mary, called the "FILTHY MARY" ($17), was described as a Bloody Mary infused with house spices and seasonings, including Tito's Handmade Vodka, tomato juice, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon. It tasted like the ingredients were pulled off a Walmart shelf and tossed into a glass. I would recommend they invest in a proper mix like Zing Zang. The chips and queso were simply bagged tri-color chips with a small crock of cheese. The Caesar salad was below average--bagged croutons, random stems of lettuce, and an oddly sweet dressing. The brisket mac and cheese was especially disappointing. While the portion was large and the mac was OK at best, the brisket was shameful: small cubes of tough, rubbery meat. I didn't eat it--it wasn't worth taking.

The Frontier Tavern is a frontal addition to an old (1804?) section of the resort. It is basically a high class bar which serves really good food. The servers we had at our 3 meals there were all wonderful; gracious, friendly, and checked on us frequently. I'll post a menu of the Tavern during our stay there. Behind the upper portion of the Tavern is the original Tavern kitchen, chicken full of both original furnishings reclaimed by donation following the hotel's 21 closure beginning about 1986. There were also authentic period pieces. I love history and historic places, so this upper level was right up my alley. They gave several large televisions playing sports channels, but fortunately not obnoxiously loudly. I saw no drunken behavior nor overly loud customers. The tables are small, yet cozy. This would seem a splendid place to visit for happy hour. The Frontier Tavern lies within what I would consider a 5 star luxury resort, thus don't expect inexpensive. I don't mind paying for quality, and this place is high class.

Pulled Pork with coleslaw
Nanci P.

The hostess was nice and accommodating. I sat outside which was nice except when outside expect flies and ants. The server was good. I mentioned I was in a hurry and he had the food sent out fast. The pulled pork was on par with other places, not outstanding. Lovely venue.

Finding a good meal in Bedford proves challenging. Ate here twice w/ mixed results. Ordered Pub Chips appetizer. Kind enough to sub French fries (for a girl w/ braces unable to risk razor sharp potato chards) & they were divine. Generous amount of cheese sauce (that wasn't synthetic tasting) & sprinkle of crumbled bacon & green onions. (Ranch may have been present & just melted in). Ordered Smash Burger, it was not "smash" style, but a damn good burger w/ nice smoky, meaty, flavor topped w/ cheddar & charred onions & peppers. Husband ordered Jubilee Farms Burger (same patties as "Smash" Burger) w/ sweet potato fries & reported both very good. Day 2 ordered a Chicken Schnitzel-Piccata that was neither Schnitzel nor Piccata- bland, a little greasy, disappointing. Breaded chicken breast w/ side of un-sauced spaghetti- no detectable wine, butter, lemon, herbs? Nothing wrong w/ a hybrid dish, but u can't just fry a cutlet & dump tomatoes & mushrooms on top.

Sundream Burger

Dining at the Frontier Tavern was the most disappointing part of our stay at the resort. My wife and I each got burgers that were overcooked (cooked medium-well, ordered medium-rare), rubbery, and tasteless. The salad was good, except for the large chunks of red onion. I'd ordered one of the seasonal drafts, an IPA, with my meal and was brought a stout. The server assured me it was an IPA, despite its black as night appearance and milky taste, and then conceded the taps may not be correct. She offered to replace it with another beer so I ordered a Yuengling. I was charged for the more expensive beer I'd originally ordered. We split a piece of the 17-layer chocolate cake for dessert, which was okay. I was in disbelief when the check arrived and that slice was a whopping $16; nearly as much as our entrees. This place is horrifically overpriced for the poor quality food they're serving. Based on that experience, figuring the restaurants share staff/kitchens/ingredients, we ate our dinners elsewhere for the rest of our stay.

Sirloin steak
Bridget G.

The sirloin steak is very good. I liked the fries as well. The gnocchi was good but a little too garlicky and I would have liked some bread to go with it. The pub chips were good. The portions are huge, especially if you are just eating for one.

Chip appetizer

I'm at the hotel for a conference and stopped in for a quick dinner. I was immediately seated and Kelly was my server. I told her I hadn't eaten lunch and was starving. She took my order with ease and brought me the app I ordered super fast. Then my pasta and I asked for bread to go with it and again, Kelly delivered. She was attentive and thoughtful. Even brought me an iced tea to take back to my room. The chips I had to start were good. I liked the sweet balsamic and salty chips. The pasta was also tasty. I would have liked a bit more pesto but the veggies were perfectly cooked and it was the perfect portion size. I'm sure I'll be going back tomorrow night and I hope I'll have Kelly as my server again.

Stopped here recently for a dinner- clear evening with a little brisk bite to the air. I had been here for a wedding, and some golf years ago, but hadn't done good yet. There are several places to eat and drink in Bedford Springs- and this is a more casual spot that I have been told by the experts. Started with a mixed drink - Crown Apple mule, which was very good and had just enough alcohol to give a kick but not take me back to college when I'd wake up on the kitchen table at our apartment with nothing on but a pasta strainer and coin changer. For an appetizer, we shared crab spinach artichoke dip which came with what I would say were homemade chips? that were thicker than store bought stuff. We decided to eat light and get a couple of salads - me going with the chicken Caesar salad which was tasty but could've used a little more dressing.

I had dinner here and ordered the hamburger with onion rings. It was delicious and filling after sitting and drinking at the pool in the afternoon. I was a bit confused on the mask policy as my waiter had a mask on but under his chin when he served my food

The staff at the frontier tavern is some of the best at the Omni Bedford springs. During our visit, we ate here a couple times because it's one of only a few lunch places on the grounds, as well as the only place open past 10:00 for drinks. Each person who waited on us or brought us our order was extremely friendly and polite. Always saying you're welcome, please, my pleasure. They really know how to make you feel like an honored guest. As for the menu; it's nothing too extravagant. A limited selection of which is really over priced. We had a few things & liked everything we ordered, but everything was pricy. $7 for a tiny cup of chicken noodle soup... not worth it in my opinion. The drinks are expensive as well. The tavern has a pretty awesome drink menu though. I highly recommend the champagne cobbler. They also carry one of my favorite beers, white lightening. The decor in the tavern is pretty cool. Sitting inside reminds me of playing the game Clue. Very old fashion, couches and chairs to lounge on, lots of wood, & a lot of little stairs. I also enjoyed that the tavern had outdoor seating as well. Although it was expensive, I will be back because of the excellent service and unique atmosphere.

We stayed at the Omni and our dinner here was a standout. I was initially bummed since I was hoping…read moreto book a reservation at the steakhouse. But this place turned out to be even better and perfectly suited for my family's needs. The photos of the restaurant don't do it justice. I was nervous it would be a stuffy, cavernous environment inside. Instead, I found it surprisingly open, with great energy and not too dark but not blindingly lit up. We got a table along the wall, where we could look out at the entire dining room as well as the open air kitchen. Our server Stephen was a real delight. He was friendly, took great photos of our family and so chatty with us. We enjoyed his energy and all his spot-on recommendations. He was also really friendly with our kids who were transfixed by his many stories of working there. My daughter usually doesn't stop talking but she actually didn't say a word as he talked about all the fun moments of working at the resort over the years. We enjoyed the bottle of wine, and were impressed that he noticed it didn't seem quite up to standards with a compromised cork. He quickly took it away and brought us a fresh bottle. The food was delicious and I went with his recommendation of the duck. My partner got the short ribs, which I was also considering. Both meals were great. The chef also sent us some amuse bouche prior to the meal along with some bread, which we quickly devoured. I would totally come back here. We had the tea service earlier in the day, which was okay. But it felt a little dead inside and the back room where it was served had a very quiet vibe. Dinner at this spot is definitely worth checking out.

The staff are so special and make it a delight to dine in a historic setting. Enjoyed both dinner…read moreand breakfast on a repeat visit.

Our bartender was fantastic--friendly, attentive, incredibly welcoming, and even helped us get connected to Wi-Fi while we were there. Just genuinely excellent hospitality from beginning to end. The food was great too. I ordered the Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich, which had pulled pork, spicy pineapple coleslaw, chipotle aioli, and goat cheese. The goat cheese especially made the sandwich for me, and I would have happily taken even more of the slaw and sauce. My husband had the smashburger and said it was absolutely worth the $18 price tag. And the fries! Perfectly crispy, and the balsamic ketchup was ridiculously addictive. We finished with the cinnamon-sugar fried ice cream cannolis, and they disappeared in about five minutes. Crunchy cinnamon-sugar shell, cold ice cream, chocolate, whipped cream, and strawberries--and even the strawberries were delicious, not just decoration. We decided to eat downstairs in the bar area. It had ha nice cozy low key atmosphere. Which was nice. We also felt like we were well taken care of there. Great food, wonderful service, and the kind of hospitality that makes you genuinely want to come back. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Below the Union Hotel is a tavern called Mona's which is connected and an addition to The Union Hotel restaurant/12 room hotel. There's parking along the Main Street, as well as lots of spots in the back of the building. You can enter from the main entrance of the hotel and take the elevator down or you can head down the steps in the back to enter. Doesn't matter which way, just get here. We were absolutely blown away by the quality, portions, flavor profiles, and service in this little gem. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately by a super friendly bartender named Matt. He was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. He was always checking up on us and making sure that we were always good. Service was fabulous. There's a timeline of the history of this historic building on the back of the menu. We ordered two drinks. One was an apple cider margarita and the other was a strawberry gin fizz concoction that was amazing. Both of these drinks were delicious. If we weren't driving and staying in the actual hotel above this tavern, we would have tried several other ones on the menu. Lots of creative choices that looked to be tasty based on the mix of ingredients. For the food - the menu was enticing and extensive. Lots of creative things happening here. The app we decided on was the Parmesan crusted Brussels and boy did they not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. We opted for The French Dip with fries and some magical au jus and a Union Smash burger with fries for our meals. Both are highly recommended!!! The burger was served on this delicious cloud of brioche bun and stacked high with two patties (perfectly cooked), pickles, dijonaose, and cheese. The French Dip had the most magnificent crusty roll and tender meat. Then there are these amazing Parmesan parsley fries that are perfectly cooked and served hot! We could have eaten an entire plate of these. To go boxes were needed. Big portions. We couldn't fit dessert! The bill does come with some tasty Andes mints. Prices here are extremely reasonable! I can't stress enough about how absurd it is that this small town has such a hidden treasure of a place where the food is beyond amazing. This place is a full package. If you live anywhere within an hour or even two, come here!! You won't regret this decision. Scrumptious!!!!

Upon entering we saw a "Happy Birthday" sign and were greeted by two lovely servers. A first bite was served while we waited for our cocktails . It was a chunk of very sweet watermelon on a wooden coaster. Next came some delicious bread with a leek butter. My daughter added the 4 shot cocktails to our experience and they were fun! Jell-O shots elevated quite a bit. Our appetizer was chef's choice which was burrata with grilled eggplant, peaches, greens and baguette. All so good! We enjoyed some extra cocktails from the menu, a blackberry mojito and a white Negroni with the appetizer. Then the entrees came along. I got the wild mushroom ravioli and she got the Faroe Islands salmon. This was the only part of the meal you had a choice in and you have to advise them ahead of time what you would like to eat as the main course. The final course was a creme brûlée serves in a 4 ounce mason jar. All in all, excellent quality of food and service with reasonable portions. We did not leave hungry. The screened in dining pod itself was very comfortable. It was a pleasant summer day so we did not need the fan or the heater which was available. They are nestled in the woods and sunshine peeks through the trees for a most serene dining experience. I commented that even if it were raining, you would be comfortable due to the design of the pods. There is a wide overhang so the rain wouldn't bother you coming in through the screens. If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate or just want to feel one with nature, this is an excellent option to consider. I highly recommend trying one out!

On the plus side , the treetop room made for an intimate and cozy dining experience . Ambience - 9. Our server was pleasant and efficient without being intrusive in any way - Service - 9. First let me say that I have no issue paying hundreds of dollars for a quality meal that is unusual, creative, innovative, tasty, - one that each course brings WOWs and other high praise. The 4+ course meal didn't come close. The Amuse bouche was good , but nothing special. The appetizer consisted of shrimp ceviche in a lettuce wrap along with a 1 inch wedge of watermelon - tasty , but nothing I haven't experienced elsewhere just as good or better. The salad - a split romaine topped with a slice of watermelon radish ( tasteless) a sprig of fennel, and shaved parmesan cheese . The dressing was home made but tasted like it was straight out of a bottle. Creative ? - Hardly ! For main course ( which must be selected days in advance ) - my wife's salmon was a generous filet on a bed of parmesan risotto ( gummy ). A very small amount of glaze that was not recognizable. I chose the Sous vide pork tenderloin. - A single 4 inch by 3/8 inch medallion with a fruit sauce served over a serving of tasteless smashed potatoes . Side dish for both meals was 3 sliced carrot pieces steamed and again tasteless. My meal arrived barely luke warm and over cooked - I assume it was plated and waited for my wife's salmon to finish. Dessert was crème brulee ! Plain creme brulee. To charge hundreds of dollars for a fine dining experience and then have the chef literally sleep walk through the entire menu and meal is unforgiveable. Our local culinary school provides a better culinary experience and menus at one third the cost of the Treetops .
