This little spot in Brighton was a huge surprise in a good way! We sat outside on a perfect summer night among the colorful paper lanterns in the alleyway that had been transformed into the perfect place for an al fresco dinner. Ana, our outstanding waitress, gave us her suggestions and brought us some of the most creative, mind-blowing dishes. We had seared scallops with avocado and oranges, burrata on a scallion pancake with balsamic pearls, and a fried rice dish with the most amazing curry sauce. This was a 10/10 experience. We will be back, especially since we didn’t realize there was a dessert menu until we were too full!

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.
