Three cheese gnocchi, the sweetwater burger with bacon and truffle pecorino cheese and the red beet, kale, Gorgonzola salad were all soooooo good. Add that great staff and you got the perfect place

The menu was so good. The calamari, the truffle fries, goat cheese bruschetta were our favorites. The sauces in particular made it stand out. We also got the steak frites & the burger

One of the best places in the neighborhood. Absolutely love it. Can't go wrong. And don't miss the garden.

Sweetwater's brunch takes the quality over quantity route, with only 6 or so choices (depending on specials) but everything is amazing. Go for the Eggs Benedict or the Egg Supreme

Take a seat in a comfortable booth, soak up the great atmosphere and be coddled by the excellent waitstaff. Order the delicious Sweetwater burger. Cash only.

This place is great for large groups and parties! The staff is friendly, helpful, and accomodating, and the ambiance and food are fantastic!

What's not to love about this place? Bakeri bread, cheese plates, excellent salads, and a pretty satisfying beer/wine & cocktail list. The only catch: cash or Amex only. But there's a garden!

If you are in Bedford you should definetly trythis place. Delicious sandwiches, brunches. Their house beer is also great!

The Sweetwater Burger with bacon might be the best burger in the city, but if you're looking for something a little lighter, try the Watermelon Salad, a refreshing take on the greek salad

A nice place for a date, came here for the banoffee with Oreo crust, and it is hearty. Save room for it.

French Onion soup was great! Kale salad was light and refreshing. Fish and chips was solid.

Banafi cake is that amazing- lamb burger is delicious, the mussels can easily be an entree and the sides are quite large so only get one unless you're sharing.
Audrey EvansJuly 7, 2011
The gazpacho is amazing -- spicy and refreshing. The perfect summer treat. Also try the gnocchi with truffle oil because it will make you very happy.
MichaelNovember 27, 2013
Burger is on point, onion rings are tasty, bruschetta is good but non-traditional. They have a tasty house Amber on tap.
Scott SullivanDecember 5, 2015

I wanted to love this place as it’s a beautiful restaurant but we had 2 very average meals. I couldn’t even finish the lentil and chickpea stew and the chicken also wasn’t great.
Gary AlonyFebruary 25, 2017
I absolutely loved the steak 👍
