Martha Stewart has announced another exciting new business venture, but not all of her fans were quick to congratulate her.

The 83-year-old entrepreneur took to Instagram on Tuesday and revealed that she will be opening a new restaurant later this year at a casino in Connecticut.

The caption on the post read: ‘Martha opened her first restaurant, The Bedford by Martha Stewart, in the Paris Las Vegas hotel in 2022.

‘Now, our founder is opening a second location at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The new restaurant is set to open this fall, offering a lineup of impressive culinary dining options.

‘The restaurant was designed to transport guests to Martha’s 1925 country farmhouse in Bedford, New York, to experience what she’s known for: Elegance, warmth, and charm.’

However, the reaction was rather mixed as some people expressed their excitement – while others weren’t so enthusiastic.

‘Why is Martha linking herself with casino culture? I thought she had more there,’ one person asked.

‘Restaurants in casinos are awful. Famous people sell their name and people flock to them and they are not good experiences,’ someone else wrote.

Not everyone was upset with the news, however, as one delighted follower said: ‘We’re very excited about this!!!!’ and another agreed: ‘Oh yes now that’s exciting!’

‘Congrats Martha!!!’ a third wrote, while someone else added: ‘Can’t wait, I dream about your pierogies on the daily.’

Another Instagram user referenced the same dish whilst mentioning Martha’s eatery in Nevada.

‘Ate lunch in Vegas at Paris last August. The bread basket! The pierogi! Incredible! A bit pricey for the average lunch but very impressive nonetheless,’ they wrote.

Another commented: ‘We had dinner at your Las Vegas restaurant. It was wonderful. Delicious. The pierogis were to die for.’ 

‘Just ate at The Bedford in Las Vegas. Everything was divine! From the crab cake, the bread basket, the scallops to dessert!!!!’ someone else said. 

A different customer revealed: ‘Just had dinner at the Bedford in Las Vegas for Valentine’s Day. Martha’s menu shows what you can do with quality sourced ingredients.

‘Amazing complex flavors for such simple presented dishes. Of course all of this comes at a cost, and the meal was costly,’ they added.

Sadly, someone else wasn’t so complimentary and explained: ‘Unfortunately we did not have the experience we wanted in Vegas.

‘I was so looking forward to the roast chicken. It took over an hour to come to the table. It was cold and dry. Chef carved it table side. You’d think he would have noticed,’ they added.

The former billionaire opened The Bedford by Martha Stewart in Las Vegas back in August 2022.

Speaking about her latest venture, Martha said: ‘The Bedford at Foxwoods Resort Casino will provide diners with a glimpse into the way I entertain and host at my farmhouse in Bedford, New York.

‘We have worked so hard to perfect this beautiful and inviting space, as well as curate a delicious variety of my most favored food and beverages recipes, which we are excited for guests to enjoy later this year.’

An article on her official website stated: ‘For the first time, The Bedford will offer breakfast as well as brunch, lunch, and dinner, and the restaurant will use locally sourced ingredients in each dish.

‘The menu features some of Martha’s favorite dishes, including her Kurobuta Pork Chop, Niçoise Salad, and Martha’s family recipe for Pierogies.

‘On the drinks menu, guests can sip on some of her favorite cocktails such as the Martha-tini and her frozen pomegranate Martha-rita. New additions will be added to the menu each season.’
