    We have been to the Bodega a few times in the past and I am happy to report it is still a great place! It was nice out, so we sat outside which is nice because it is a lot less noisy. The food was awesome, service was great, we will go there again for sure.

    Food was amazing overall, we were a party of 10 and everything came out in a timely manner. Had a request for 2 birthday celebrations and it was great. To top it off, our server was amazing!

    The food here is inspired, and perfectly executed. Everything was so fresh! The only thing better than the food was the service, Roisin was the best server, and made our night. We drove an hour to check this place out, and can’t wait to go again!!

    We knew nothing about this restaurant going in and it was a pleasant surprise. Really unique small plate menu. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was great. Pro tip - sit at the counter by the open kitchen so you can scope out the best looking dishes before you order.

    First time dining here and it did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching food being prepared and plated. Our server was attentive, entertaining and added a great vibe to the experience. I unfortunately do not remember her name but she told us she was from Galway Ireland. Love her accent! We had the mussels, pork dumplings, lo mein and finished with the crème brûlée. All dishes were amazing and the perfect amount for sharing. Looking forward to going back already.
