    Quirky downtown Wake Forest restaurant marries the ambiance of a French bistro, a Spanish tapas bar, and a creative spirit-focused bar-driven gastropub. Led by Serge, a friendly, experienced, and warm Frenchman who used to own a restaurant in Paris, Bodega reads like a European fusion spot where you get to try things that will taste amazing - just not what you expected. Instead of American takes on a Peruvian style chicken, or a North Carolinian take on Sicilian Arancini (ah-ran-CHEE-knee), you get what Serge has experienced in Europe, mixed up a touch. The staff is friendly and incredible - they know they're working at a great place and are happy to introduce you to what they have to offer. The spirit list includes a large variety of rums - rare in NC, which of course has its selection limited by the poorly run ABC system (none of the great Foursquare rums from Barbados because why would the ABC know about that?). Cocktails are short, but ask and they'll make you something special. The wine list is excellent, curated by a Frenchman who knows how wine marries to food. And happily it includes local NC wines, because we do have some great ones. The plates are generally small but shareable - tapas, after all, and before you complain that tapas should only be Spanish, recall the wonderful cicchetti in Venice - and allow you to have a little custom tour of delicious options. If you'd prefer a single larger dish there are a few options for that as well. Don't sleep on dessert - there's some great choices there. We opted for the rum soaked cake and pecan pie and they were divine. Highly recommended.

    So much fun! Can’t say enough good things! From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. We had almost every food item from the menu and each was as delicious as the next. A cocktail and a bottle of wine topped it off and a glass of Sherry with desert. Looking forward to going back soon!

    Food and service were great. The only criticism we have is the fact that there were only two couples in the place at opening on Friday and we were seated twelve inches from each other. Ruined our date night. This has happened before.

    Overall we were very pleased. We have been once before but it had been awhile. The food was great. I don’t recall the menu when we were there the first time so I’m unsure if the menu changes periodically. I would like to the menu a little more expanded. Ambiance is nice with my only comment is the conversations/noise seems to carry. A definite place we will be back to.

    Excellent food and service. I was meeting 2 former colleagues there for dinner. There is not one soft surface in the dining area, making for a very noisy dining experience. It was rather difficult to carry on a conversation. This marred an otherwise outstanding experience.

    We always enjoy Bodega. We went for New Years Eve. So the service was a bit slower than normal, but to be expected for a holiday. We will definitely be back. We really like the arincini balls and we like how they alter the flavors.

    New Year Eve dinner at Bodega’s was everything you would want from a restaurant. The food was delicious, flavorful and presentation on point. My wife and I were especially pleased with our server who was always there when needed but never intrusive. Don’t recall his name but I believe he was the only gentleman serving. The special crab dip, Serrano ham, shrimp dish and arancini are all highly recommended. Dessert of apple rum cake with their espresso martini finished a great evening. A new favorite.
