"Great Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisine with LARGE portions. Most impressed with the appetizer selection and almost made a meal of them. Only lamb-couscous entree was lackluster and a messy car disaster as take away. Salt and pepper shakers were only on select tables, with large grind black pepper in shakers with holes only fit to accommodate powdered pepper so shaker tops had to be removed for use. (pet peeve) Pre-Mother's Day family groups with uncontrolled small children made Saturday evening date-dinner a audio and visual challenge. Large selection of cocktails, with uneven mixes from drink to drink. (One Absolute Sea-breeze was all cranberry, the second was a vodka shot with a splash of red, no grapefruit juice to taste in either.)"

"wonderful menu...stellar choices in Tapas. The glass of wine was a perfect selection in your vast choices by the bottle or glass. Service was wonderful - warm, inviting and she was quite knowledgeable about the restaurant, its schedule and the neighborhood. I wish I could remember her name! Bravo to your chef...creative and spot on with execution. That quail and truffled cream corn is to die for. Fit for Foodies; as we/they like to say!"

"Fun place. Wings, calamari, special duck app., salad with hearts of palm, grilled Amish chicken, jumbo tiger shrimp with mushroom ravioli, lamb mrouzia all delicious. 2 different fish entrees, including a $50 snapper entree, were bland. Owner is Moroccan and those entrees might be the way to go. Large menu. Rather pricey. Wonderfully delicious cocktails. Excellent service. Fun atmosphere."

"Bodega has been on my list for awhile, but to be a fair judge I'll have to go back! I went on a late-night mission - Creme Brulee. So although I can't say anything about the food, I can tell you that the service was outstanding, and that at least one dessert is done RIGHT. The lights are low, the furnishings are hip and the walls are draped in luxurious fabric. It so looks like the kind of place you should go to in a little black dress for cocktails."

"Second time dining here and while food was very good, it was a little inconsistent from the last time. Service is always very good (if you get Nicole! she is terrific, very sweet and very knowledgeable)and the dishes are just lovely to look at. However, having ordered the exact same meal a couple of months ago I have to say it was a very different experience. Not sure if it is a different chef or change in the dish makeup but I wasn't as satisfied this time around. Certain dishes really shine though, I'd recommend the paella -it's easily the best in town."
