"Strong tapas menu. Very good wine list for tapas. All food was good with a couple exceptions. The cheese selection was an unbelievable rip-off; could have been a kitchen mistake. One pork dish was dry and flavorless."

"We didn't have a great waiter, the manager had to take our additional drink and food orders. But they made up for it with free dessert for my birthday. Overall, we had a great time."

"This was our first time at La Bodega, & we loved it! We were celebrating a birthday & it was a major theme for the evening from the hostess to our waitress to the manager who stopped by to wish my partner a happy day. The food is flavorful and was just enough to share between the two of us. We enjoyed the drink specials for spring - jalepeno lemonade was my favorite - quite a kick & delicious! Happy hour is a great deal with selected 1/2 price tapas. We were impressed with the service, food, and attentive staff. Only negative to the entire experience is the proximity of tables to each other. There is no private conversations to be had since you sit practically with the surrounding tables. But, easy enough to get over with food & drink."

"LaBodega is simply a fun place to eat. We enjoy leisurely sampling a variety of creative and tasty tapas and wine. The ambiance is lively and eclectic. We can't wait to return when the patio is open!"

"Used to be one of our favorites. This was the first time we've been in at least two years. The food was very disappointing. Hot plates were coming out warm. One plate we sent back because one side was Luke warm and the other side was almost hot. The stuffed red peppers were stuffed with old stale chewy rice. We also had to ask for a basket of bread when all the other tables clearly had bread just brought to them. It was very sad to see what it has turned into. We will not be visiting again any time soon."

"A great place to celebrate my birthday with friends. Love exploring the buffet, drinking sangria, and sharing a dessert. Add a fun and attentive server in a colorful and creative location, and it's a birthday wish come true!"

"La Bodega has a great menu and happy hour. It allows you to take time to enjoy the people you are with rather than rush to eat and leave. The laid back and Spanish ambiance was wonderful for me and my fiance's midday retreat."

"Service and food were amazing! We had a very large group and Tina, our server, was outstanding. She never missed a beat. Robert, the general manager touched base with our table on a couple of occasions. Thank you for making our night memorable."

"Our Waitress was very good. The food came in a timely fashion. One suggestion -- don't know why the short screwers wouldn't come out in a even number. Example - 3 came out for the chicken/sausage when there were 4 at our table. Just interesting. Over all - great experience. Would return"

"One of my favorite restaurants. Bob the manager is so good he even remembered the wine I ordered the last time I was here. His suggestion of wine and food pairings is appreciated. A true gem of KC's food scene."

"My wife and I just love this little restaurant. The Tapas are very good but somewhat spicy. As a native spaniard, I'm always very dissappointed with American restaurants that assume Mexican meals are Spanish. Spain is in Europe and European meals are not spicy. The noise level in the restaurant is very, very high and makes it hard to speak."

"I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, but it was after the snow storm and we were the only guests. The server was very friendly and helpful, and the manager even came by to say hello. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. I loved the decor and the style of the restaurant. This is definitely one of our new favorite places to eat and we will be back again."

"We had several tapas. All were tasty but the flat bread on which the salmon was served was too hard. It was nearly impossible to cut. Service was very good and over all we had a pleasent evening."

"Very enjoyable overall. We were a party of four for dinner during restaurant week. We ordered 3 tapas plates each. We got 3 rounds of four plates served in rapid succession which ended up being overwhelming to eat and too many plates for the size of the table. The communication between the wait staff and kitchen could have been better. Food was good and varied."

"I have always loved La Bodega, but I was extremely disappointed with our service on my last visit. The waitress took our sangria before we were finished, boxed up food before we were done eating (without asking), and took away our bread and plates without asking and before we were finished. It was so rude that I didn't bother to complain. In the future I will stick with restaurants where the wait staff won't push out our table so quickly."

"The meal was quite good. The tapas came out a bit too close together but it was Restaurant Week and I think they needed to turn the tables over quickly."

"La Bodega has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City. I will continue to recommend it to anyone new to town, or visitors wanting a unique experience. The only downside to this visit was the Paella Abanda. The fish was obviously not the least bit fresh, and the smell made it impossible for me to eat. I order that dish every time that I dine there, and it was unfortunate that I could not even touch it. The staff was gracious enough to relocate my party to a different table, so I did not want to impose by complaining about the food, as well. This will not deter me from returning. I still love the restaurant and will just think twice about ordering the Paella in the future."

"The sangrias were just as great as I had heard! I went with a group of girls so we shared the tapas and an entree! It was just the right amount of food! Our server was pretty busy with other tables, but the manager stepped in and made sure we were taken care of! I will definitely be returning!"

"My husband and I have heard such great things about La Bodega. We were excited to try it but very let down. If you like sangria this is the place for you, but if you like food... you need to find another place. We had two appitizers(the entire menu is appitizers)and a salad and we spent $60. We left feeling very hungry. What I ate was good, but not that good and certainly not filling. We tried it, but not our favorite by far."
