    Stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night after never having heard of this restaurant despite staying in the hotel and coming here several times over time. Made reservations for a Saturday night and pulled up nearly on the dot of our time. We were sat immediately and were told our waitress would be over. 10minutes went by and then were handled. We put in a drink order - the wine came out after 10minutes, and my mixed drink coming another 10minutes. The Manhattan had ice in it - which is wrong bc it wasn't ordered that way and that altered the drink's taste. Was a rough start if everyone is honest. We ordered Caprese for which they split for us. It was very good - just solid execution and fresh. For the entree I went with the steak au poivre which came with asparagus and potato sticks - which was odd to me. I mean legitimate potato sticks out of a can. Anyway - the steak, which I ordered medium came out medium rare, leaning more to the rare side. When asked I sent the steak back - mainly bc it has an open kitchen and I could watch the reaction. The threw the steak back on the grille and when it came back out it was done properly. Tasted good, but again the potato sticks were hard to understand. For dessert - I ordered the raspberry torte which was okay. Nothing too high or low. The waiting and the lack of execution on the drink, the steak, and the sides just made this a lukewarm experience.

    We ate here several times during our stay at the resort - all meals were good including 2 brunch visits. Service was good during our visits - great flavors & plating. We tried various entrees & desserts - not a bad choice among them. Restaurant has typical upscale vibe as one would expect in a fancier hotel/convention center with a ballroom vibe. Prices are on the high side ..which of course matches the resort culture - but dinner here is more of an 'experience' (note photos of the dishes/plating). All-in-all we had good experiences at the Crystal Room - recommended!

    The new chef at The Crystal Room at Omni Bedford Springs has breathed new life into this place. Our dinner tonight was the best meal I've had all year, and one of the best meals I've ever had. The Vegetable Pate was light and flavorful, my steak au poivre cooked a perfect medium rare with just enough sauce. The asparagus still had a good bite to them. The coquille St. Jacques is definitely the best I've ever tasted, with iron skillet-hot mashed potatoes, and fresh spinach. Escargot in a light pastry--rich and filling. Finally, the Financier cake--the perfect dessert for two. Our waitress was quick, friendly, and enthusiastic about sharing her favorites on the menu. She made our night. The open kitchen and walls full of vintage photos made for great conversation and an engaging show. Oh, and thanks to the chef for the crab cake amuse bouche. Thank you Bedford Springs!

    My sweet bride and I ate here for our first wedded meal and it was amazing. Our server Steve was great, very friendly and helpful. The pictures on the walls were a very nice touch, showing visitors to the springs in the past. The little side dining rooms looked very cozy!

    French onion soup

    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.

    Boneless Ribeye, sides included sautéed spinach and truffle fries

    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.

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

    We dined here on our last night at the resort. Another great dining experience. Dress code said it was "casual elegant" but no jeans. As long as you weren't wearing jeans and a t-shirt, you were dressed fine. Beautifully restored dining room which made us feel like we were dining in 1905. This is a fine dining white table cloth experience but not at all stuffy. Amazing fresh and in season dishes. We decided to start by splitting the jumbo lump crab ($16) which was fresh, flavorful and a good combination of flavors. We also got the arugula salad ($9) which was a well dressed and flavorful salad. Both were smallish but together, they were a great way to start. The chef was kind of enough to split the dishes for us on separate plates as we shared both. Very attentive and accommodating service throughout. I got the trout ($24) for my main - a well cooked and seasoned piece of fish. It was a big piece of fish and served with a rich pesto sauce on the side and over green beans and a potato cake. My husband got the filet ($39) which was a very well cooked dish - he thought it was better than the steak house down the hall. We were stuffed but tried to chocolate torte ($11) for desert - another decadent and delicious treat. A fantastic meal from start to end and highly recommended. It's a bit pricey but it's at a resort and actually more reasonable than some of the other dining options around. We also did the buffet breakfast for $24 each while we stayed there. Made to order omelettes, breakfast meats, bagels, pastries, potatoes and more. A very filling breakfast.

    I had a wonderful experience with some friends while dining at The Crystal Room on my recent visit to Bedford Springs. You can make a reservation on open table which is so convenient. We had a later reservation (8:30) on a Friday night so it was not that busy, just a few other tables then once they cleared out we had the place to ourselves which we didn't mind. Helen, our server was amazing! She was extremely helpful and gave great suggestions. After dinner she told us about the history of Bedford Springs and even showed us the smaller dining room in the back. This was great because other than great service and delicious food, we got to learn about this beautifully restored dining room/resort. She was so sweet! The dining room is absolutely gorgeous and it's like something out of an old movie! It's a fine dining experience without being really stuffy. For an appetizer, we shared the salmon tartare. It had great flavor and was big enough for 4 people to share. My boyfriend got the Cesar salad which was good but huge. I'd recommend sharing it. I opted for the smoked ravioli entree. I was intrigued by it because it's not something you see on many menus plus I do like the smoked taste. It was good and I enjoyed it but when it came out I was surprised by the size of it (looked small but had 5 raviolis). However, it was enough and filled me up. My boyfriend got the lamb and loved it. He said he'd def recommend it. I got to try my friends corn crab soup and I regret not getting it, so delicious. The menu is a bit limited but had enough to choose from. They also serve breakfast in the mornings but we didn't get to go. Maybe next time because I'll def be back!

    Crab cake app as takeout. Very disappointing, especially at $17.
    Christine T.

    Got takeout from here to enjoy in the room while staying at the Omni. Ordered just some apps and sides. The crab cake was supremely disappointing. At $17, you expect more than just one little lump of crab cake. The presentation and taste were marginal as well. I'm surprised that they are ok sending this low quality out of the kitchen. Also got the risotto and creamed spinach and those were a bit better. Maybe it's a scaled down kitchen staff due to Covid, but they should alter their menu to ensure they're still putting out a quality product.

    My loaded omelette with fresh pepper salsa
    Paige G.

    Every time we stay at Omni, the brunch/breakfast here is always a highlight of the trip. We always do the buffet and although it's pricey, it's worth it. Included in the buffet is any type of eggs made to order, pancakes and French toast, bacon, homemade breads and so many jams, flavored butters and spreads, fresh fruit, homemade salsa, oatmeal and so many toppings, yogurt, juices, cereal and a variety of pastries. The homemade granola is by far the best I've ever had with giant cashews in every bite. I dream of this granola! The fruit is so fresh and delicious. I also love being able to order an omelette with every ingredient I could imagine in it. The salted caramel spread is made by a local farm and is incredible. They have homemade cinnamon raisin bread that is yummy and the multi grain is great too. Especially with the salted caramel spread! This is a nice, high quality breakfast and definitely worth the splurge!

It was a quick trip, so we managed to keep our little ones entertained. Frontier Tavern is a great option if you have kids since it's the more casual restaurant on property and has a variety of seating with a more lively atmosphere. They also offer an extensive kids menu with crayons so they can color and stay entertained. The main issue we had here was that the service wasn't really the best. We ordered our son's meal and repeated it at least 3 times since we've been working on getting our son to talk to servers. However, our son's meal came out first and it was completely wrong. The server was apologetic, but it also made it hard when the rest of the meals came and he had to watch us eat ours. The main entrees for me and my partner also came out cold. My partner got the shaved steak and cheese sandwich, which was soggy and just okay. My meal was also okay, the pulled pork sandwich but felt like it was drowning in sauce and was also served cold. Our daughter ordered the French Onion soup and she also didn't love it since it didn't taste as good as others. I'm not sure what that means! She is only 5 but clearly has elevated tastes! Finally, we asked for some other sides and our server pretty much forgot all that we asked. He was friendly but just not the most attentive. In the end, it was an okay experience and we'd probably go again. But it's a high price point for this area and had much better service at the other restaurants on property.

You're probably here for some type of special occasion, because it is certainly pricey. I decided to splurge for a friend's birthday for brunch, which runs $95 per person and includes a mimosa. The same friend has visited a number of Frank Lloyd Wright houses with me, from this PA region to New York to Illinois, so it felt like the perfect place. I made a reservation on OpenTable and indicated that we had one vegetarian (myself). The restaurant followed up to make sure there were no other notes they needed to know, and also to see if I wanted to add anything on. You can add things like rose petals on the table and a single rose to the celebratory person, wine options, or an individual-ish celebration cake. I decided to add the celebration cake, which costs $20 and serves two people. There is a main restaurant, but the special experience this place has certainly become known for are the individual dining pods, which are out in the trees but well screened from any weather. There are heaters and fans available in your pod. It is a truly lovely private dining experience. You can just slightly hear conversations of other diners in nearby pods if you listen very hard, and there is piano music playing on speaker, which is instrumental version of popular songs like Britney Spears, Shakira etc. We found this funny but simultaneously enjoyed it. They had nice little touches like a Happy Birthday sign on the wall and an embossed happy birthday note for the birthday person to keep, and brought out chilled plates for a dessert involving frozen custard. It was nice attention to detail that reminded you this is a special dining experience. Service is attentive but unobtrusive and wants to make sure you are happy with your experience. Onto the food. The mimosas were already on our table when we arrived. Our server indicated they were sending out a complimentary amuse-bouche from the chef, which was an individual vegetable stuffed mushroom. It was delicious and a nice starting note. Then came the appetizer, a smoked burrata with pita, arugula, grape tomatoes and an edible orchid. Everything is so beautifully presented here, and just delicious. The entrées were crazy. There were two portions each of stuff French toast, potatoes and frittata. Those were all vegetarian and shareable. On a separate board came enough meat for two people to share as well, salmon, pork, sausage and carrots. Since that tray was not for me they also brought me a vegetarian bowl including veggies, chickpeas and quinoa. It was a lot of food and we ended up taking a nice amount of leftovers home from this part of the meal. Everything was wonderfully prepared, with the stuffed French toast probably being my favorite bite. Our server said she would be bringing dessert which I assumed was the celebration cake. But no, there was a French pastry each, presented with some fruit. They have a nice cocktail and cocktail menu and we elected to add an espresso mocktini each with this course. Those were on point and I've missed espresso martinis so much since I've largely given up drinking. After all of this came the celebration cake, which either came entirely or just the frozen custard from Tropical Bungalow, a local business. The Tahitian vanilla flavor was just delightful and the frozen custard was a wonderful texture. It was truly such a feast. We ate every bit of the desserts. One thing I appreciated here is that often when a place is known for the experience, the food is beautifully presented but not always plentiful. That is far from the case here, you are not going home hungry. My total bill came to $252, which included the two $95 brunches, the $20 celebration cake and two $14 mocktails. Adding a tip, I was a little over $300, which is a lot but it is a special occasion. We heard folks talking about staying overnight and looked up more information, and found that you can tour the four homes on the property here, two designed by Wright and two by his apprentice. In reviewing the tours I noted that there are package options, with one offering a tour of three of the houses and lunch at Tree Tops for a total of $75 per person (!). This is an incredible value and I think I would take this option next time, as the houses would definitely be worth touring as well. I look forward to my next visit here.
