Bedford & Burns, (369 N Bedford Dr., Beverly Hills, 90210; 310.273.8585) is a new place in Beverly Hills for meats and pizzas and it’s all set in a blue hue.
The history of this place goes all the way back to 1918, with grandfather Robert Burns’ pharmacy at Doheny and Burton Way, (where the Beverly Hills’ Four Seasons is). Bedford & Burns owners and siblings Bonnie, Bobby, and Beth Burns have heard the story about how their father asked their grandfather to put a soda fountain into the pharmacy. Later, their father opened his namesake steakhouses around LA. The kids continued in their father’s footsteps with Marmalade Café, which they expanded and eventually sold in 2007. Bedford & Burns marks the family’s return to Beverly Hills.
This family owned spot, looks like a living room of someone who has lived on the water. With nautical colors, maritime oil paintings and bookshelves stocked with tomes on art, yachts and surfing magazines, you’ll see what I mean.
Chef Romeo Garcia has been a part of the family’s business for over 20 years and designed a menu of casual American bistro food with subtle Latin and Asian influences. The dinner menu features fresh oysters on the half-shell, salads, steaks and chops. Lunch items include salads, sandwiches and soups. The restaurant’s wood-fired oven will produce pizzas and wood-roasted meats and fish. A full bar and bar menu will also be available. Dinner menu here.
