   The two waitresses who looked after us last night were outstanding. One in particular gave great food suggestions - will have the chicken again next time I am dining solo. The SA Riesling was divine. Not cheap but amazing.

   The food was delicious, as were the cocktails. Not a single meal was disappointing - and we tried several dishes. The service is what led to the low score. Advised table staff on arrival that we had to leave within a hour and a half of arrival, and we were still waiting on entrees 45 mins into the meal. Not sure what was behind the timing issue, but we missed the first 20 minutes of the show that we had tickets to see that night. I think poor communication between table staff and the kitchen might have had a lot to do with it - the table staff seemed very inexperienced. Unfortunately, I will not go back to this restaurant again and would encourage anyone short on time to avoid this restaurant.

   Delicious food and a good choice of wines but a little pricey for a casual dining/ sit at the bar venue. However, the staff were attentive, the service was timely and we enjoyed the ambiance of our tete a tete at the bar.

    The tacos are amazing! We were recommended them by a friend who swears this is some of the most authentic Mexican food in Sydney. I’ve always loved Bodega but hadn’t visited in some time. So great to see one of Sydney’s institutions continue to evolve… always producing delicious food and fun times. Thank you team!

    Lovely Man with a Canadian accent who served us all throughout our visit had an amazing and welcoming aura. Super helpful and bubbly personality. The overall food experience was great. Although some hard to chew herbs got through and the steak was rather chewy for a medium. the taste however was great. I just hope some of these little things would be improved on as i’d like to visit this restaurant once more in the near future.

    The food was decent, I wouldn't say it's the best mexican dishes I've ever tried. But their fish taco was good, at least order that one. The service was lacking. The waiter who served us was not nice, in a brink of being rude to customers. May not come back again ever.

    Sadly the food was quite bland and we felt forgotten - having to ask, several times, for missing items we'd ordered and having to continually flag staff for service. It was a seriously expensive experience and, having been to Bodega with a friend who is a restaurant critic, very disappointing.

    Great service, different flavours than what I was expecting of a Mexican restaurant. Tried the banquet, food was a little more miss than hit - though, I recommend the Fish Tacos. The drinks list is fantastic and so is the service.

    Food and drinks were great. Vegetarian options especially good, interesting and delicious. However the ambiance being seated at the bar doesn't match the quality/price of the food. Feels a bit like being in a food court, there's people coming and going from the gym and supermarket in the complex. Maybe sitting inside the restaurant is better!

    We went for a friends birthday- the staff was so accomodating and the food was AMAZING. We ordered basically everything off the menu. The Aguachile Rojo was so refreshing, the Corn left you wanting more, the Wagyu Beef and Pork Tacos were out of this world, the Pulpo Al Carbón was seasoned so well and the Basque Cheesecake basically fell from heaven. Would highly recommend!

    Great adaptation by the Bodega crew. More of a family friendly vibe in the dining section. They still have the bar area active to maintain the wine bar/ cocktail setting. Caters for all👌Food was great quality and well priced, staff always attentive and friendly. Legends!
