The short ribs at Nobo were good, but a letdown
The food overall was very good and cool new flavors.

Nice ,do you regret you went ?will you return again?

I do not regret it and will definitely go back. I like trying new dishes and would go back just to try more of the apps.
They have duck gnocchi on special right now and have changed up the side dishes that come with most of the mains.

Nobo is great, but I'd rather go to ETC.

Sweetheart ham and potato hash- probably the best thing we had and its very popular- a take on a breakfast hash with veal "ham", fake cheese potatoes and some other veg.
Lamb chops- 4 chops perfectly cooked and delicious, but I didnt love the buckwheat side dish- granted it is so nice when a restaurant actually gives you nice portions of side dishes though.
A very modern dessert- consisting of a coconut creme and meringue, grilled pineapple, a macadamia crumble and lime sauce. was good when all ingredients mixed together.

Yeah, I found the sides to be very generous but they focused more on presentation than taste.
The duck came with some type of thin noodles made to look like a nest with green beans on top.

Went to Mikes Bistro last night. Haven't been in a long time. Food was of course, excellent. Service was phenomenal. Ambiance could use some work but overall had a great anniversary dinner

Garden of Eva. Fantastic!!

Crispy Veal Sweetbreads. Very good. Loved the fresh mushrooms and the potato chips (made in house) were a cute touch

Breaded zuchinni. So so good!! We ordered another portion mid-meal. We loved it.
French fries. Was very good. Crispy. Fresh.
USDA Prime Cote de Boeuf for 2. Was $125, 32 oz steak. Very very good! Well worth the money. Crust was perfectly done. I personally am not a fan of thyme but otherwise was heaven. I would order it again

I forgot to take a pic before it was too late. Pudding and a latte. Delicious!

Overall we had a great time. I would do it all over again exactly as I did. $280 well spent.

Ive been to Bedford on Park 3 times. The first time I went with 4 couples and it was fantastic. Great service and great food. We ordered most of the menu and was really great.

Second time I went with one other couple. Was a madhouse. Service was absolutely horrible, but I overheard a waiter saying that another waiter was out. Food was very good though.

Unfortunately I dont remember exactly what we ordered the past 2 times. What I do remember was the lamb bacon, veal belly, rib eye steak, spicy cocktail (called something Tahiti? not 100% of the name) and mojito was very good. They definitely change parts of the menu because they didnt have the veal belly when we went last week (see below)

Went last week with another couple. As it was a last second decision we didnt order a ton of food because we kinda ate dinner earlier. Was much quieter this time and service was once again great.

For apps ordered the lamb bacon, pulled beef sliders and poutine fries. The lamb bacon was fantastic. Poutine fries were nothing special and the pulled beef sliders had way too much sauce.

Mains we got the rib eye which wasnt slice into peices (usually the slice it for you which I found annoying. I liked it better that they did not do it this time) and the rack of lamb. We wanted the spare ribs but they were out so we just stayed with those 2. Both were excellent especially the lamb.

Drinks: Mojito (was just ok this time) and a glass of wine

Was too full to order dessert (we ate beforehand!).
