    We had a great experience at this spot. We were out for a girls lunch and got exactly what we needed. There are plenty of vegetarian options and great cocktails.

    Food was....eh...it's edible. Mussels was skinny and stinky. Octopus was ok, but tiny portion. Garlic Shrimps was over cooked. Looks like Costco shrimp cocktail in garlic oil. Overall...it's ok

    I was greeted with a warm welcome when walking in to the Bodega. I was kindly offered the window seat for me and the others i brought with me. The host and the server we had were amazing. We felt very welcomed. We walked in and the ambiance felt like a classical speakeasy. The food was also delicious. Unfortunately i only got to try a few appetizers on the menu; the lamb & the short rib stuffed peppers. They were wonderful, both meats were tender and had a great flavor. The others who attended with me also had a similar experience with their meal. When I go back, I plan to try more on their menu & the family style plates they offer. I would also like to mention that their drinks were pretty good, and the price for everything is well worth for what you get.
