Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bodega Rose offers an inviting atmosphere with "excellent food" and "exceptional service." Guests rave about the "amazing" beet salad and gnocchi, and the ribeye is "to die for." While some experienced delays due to large parties, the attentive staff and delightful ambiance make it a "great spot" for special occasions.

    "It was very busy due to graduation and being short-staffed. The food wasn’t cooked properly, but they waived the entire bill and apologized. We might go back to give it another try—definitely a nice, cute spot."

    Bodega is an excellent restaurant with great food, ambience and service. When attending yesterday for brunch there as a large retirement party that was using the majority of the restaurant. The noise level was overwhelming for any of the patrons that were not involved with the party. It was difficult to hear the other parties at our table. The food provided was excellent, however yesterday the servers were rushed as they were also serving the retirement party. Their attentiveness was not the level we had previously experienced. We were celebrating my son's graduation from his MBA program. This was included in the reservation, but not mentioned at all by the server - which they normally do acknowledge any celebration. We will definitely go again, however in future I would recommend a party of that size possibly take the full restaurant, as it was not a very pleasant experience for the remaining 6-7 tables in the restaurant.

    Ribeye was to die for! Highly recommend! Loved that it was not cooked in seed oils.

    Food came out super slow. Super noisy, other customers were leaving. Drinks were not to par. Our waitress was very nice and apologetic.

    We loved this place. The food is excellent, the service very good and the ambience very good. We were there to celebrate Mother's Day a day early and were very pleased with our choice. We'll be back another time, and soon.

    Unfortunately this time our experience was not the same as our first visit… we had to wait forever for our food and it was cold and a little bland and our sprouts were burnt. Didn’t have the wine we wanted. There was a large group which I believe delayed the service. We were offered dessert for the wait and that was the best food of our meal

    Everything we ordered was really good and the place was very pleasing to the eye. We got the oysters, baked ziti, gnocchi mushrooms and the phyllo wrapped cheesecake. The gnocchi is a must try. It was just a little loud so not really a chill environment. It was busy at the time do it did take a while to get our food.
