"I made a reservation for 5 girls for the renowned happy hour, and we ended up having one more join us, totaling a party of 6. It was the worst service I have ever encountered, EVER. Regardless of our reservation, we were denied an extra table to accomodate all 6 of us (plus our food and pitchers), being cited that "It is First Fridays, so we are going to get really busy." At least 4 tables remained empty around us through most of our happy hour. Because 6 of us were crowded around a table for 4, our plates were brough out one at a time. As if this isn't bad enough, our server informed us around 6:05 that our table had a reservation for 7PM and we had about 40 minutes left. We then asked to speak to a manager, who took the server's side."

"the menu is packed with various delicious items. i ordered the beef and foie gras and was disappointed by the portion size. tasted fabulous but 4 pieces is an appetizer, not a meal. the garlic aoli was sublime but served on over cooked roasted potatoes. my dates paella was divine. i totally recommend trying that dish if you go."

"Went to La Bodega on the Boulevard because I had friends in town from Florida for the convention. There were only 2 other tables at the time we went (Friday late eve) because of the game, so the place was almost empty. First, we were offered a table in the back corner, then after I asked for a table near the window, we were given a table in the other corner...literally in the corner. It was cramped, not cozy. I told the server that it was their first time at LaB and he didn't explain the whole tapas experience (like when I had my first time or have taken others for theirs). Food was good, service was ok...must have been an off night. I go to both locations often and if this had been my first visit, I wouldn't go back."

"Loved this fun local treat. Super tapas menu makes it fun for someone like me who hates to commit to just one entree. It's much more fun to try a variety of tapas!"

"There happy hour was the perfect time for me to get together with some friends who I haven't hung out with in a bit. By the end of the meal we had planned our next 3 return trips and who we would bring next time."
