Martha Stewart Las Vegas Restaurant Panned By Food Critic Notorious for Poor Reviews
The Bedford by Martha James Maitland Stewart at French capital Las Vegas is the modish restaurant to be scolded by New York Times food critic Pete Wells.
Wells is notorious for panning restaurants, both new and old. He made many headlines in the fall of 2019 for lambasting Brooklyn’s St. Peter the Apostle Luger Steak House, often considered ane of the nation’s topper steakhouses. Wells gave St. Peter Luger 0 stars inward a scathing review, last that the steaks are “far from the best New House of York has to offer.”
Wells has been the Times’ restaurant critic since succeeding Sam Sifton in Nov 2011. While Herbert George Wells focuses on eateries in New House of York City, the critic recently travelled to Las Vegas to chip come out The Bedford, billed as Stewart’s 1st restaurant.
Wells didn’t similar the experience.
The intellectual nourishment critic says Stewart is known for instruction her fans and viewers nigh the comforts and pleasures of hosting and entertaining, though that falls matte in Las Vegas. Wells says Stewart’s spot on The Bedford is minuscule more than her name, as dining in that location “is to a lesser extent a participatory activity than a looker sport.”
Wells says Caesars Entertainment, which operates the French capital cassino and resort, said The Bedford is owned past the gambling casino companionship and is using Stewart’s figure through a licensing partnership.
“In other words, The Bedford is not Ms. Stewart’s ‘first restaurant,’ as many news reports experience said,” Herbert George Wells wrote inwards his Tuesday review. “It is not, inwards fact, ‘hers’ at all. She is neither an proprietor nor the chef.”
“It is almost certainly, however, the first Martha Stewart-themed restaurant,” H. G. Wells determined.
Food Panned
Wells described a instead ho-hum, overpriced dining go through at Stewart’s Las Vegas restaurant. The critic said the baked spud he was served was lukewarm and overprized at $15.95, spell the $89.95 unit roasted Gallus gallus was “on its way of life toward room temperature, too.”
Wells said the steak tartare at $27.95 was “distractingly sweet.” The $29.95 oysters John Davison Rockefeller seemed to follow missing the Pernod cream sauce, which allowed the shredded spinach plant and watercress to nowadays “a mulched-grass grain that power have got been produced by the bright-orange mower that Ms. Jimmy Stewart in one case rode around her farm to the delight of her Instagram followers.”
Wells did high spot some warm points of the restaurant, that is to say the staff of life basketful and pierogis. But as for The Bedford marketing the eatery as an bona fide see that James Maitland Stewart provides her household and guests at her statuesque New House of York farmhouse inward the Bedford hamlet, Herbert George Wells cautions potentiality diners to seem elsewhere for a reservation.
I someway dubiousness that Ms. Dugald Stewart slaps baked potatoes on a cart when she has friends over for dinner,” Wells critiqued. “The preparation is supposed to live as comforting and reassuring as the pierogi, but practically of it lands someplace between ho-hum and careless.”
Wells was as hard on Guy Fieri, another famous person restauranteur who operates “Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar” inward Las Vegas at The Linq. While reviewing Fieri’s Times Square location inwards 2012, Wells said the intellectual nourishment is “as non seen on TV.”
