Bodega Bar & Kitchen

I have to say — the customer service here is truly incredible. Huge shoutout to Hamzah (bartender/server and I think possibly part of management?) because he was amazing. He actually took the time to ask us what we thought about the food and overall experience, which I really appreciated. I ordered the mushroom empanadas and they were delicious. I shared a small bit of feedback, and he genuinely listened and went out of his way to make sure we left happy. That level of care and attentiveness really stood out to me. The food is consistently great, the atmosphere is great, and the music is loud and fun! Customer service like what I experienced here makes such a difference. I will absolutely be back! ☺️

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience at your establishment, which occurred during a birthday celebration for a friend. This was my third visit, and unfortunately, it was the most disappointing. To start, the service provided by our server, George K., was subpar. He took a considerable amount of time to take our order, and when our appetizer arrived, it was cold. Upon expressing my concern, George informed us that the chips were indeed cold, but he did not apologize or attempt to rectify the situation. His dismissive attitude was alarming and unprofessional. Additionally, one of my friends ordered a steak cooked medium, but it arrived well done and extremely dry. She chose not to take it home due to its unsatisfactory condition, and we left half of it untou

Honestly if anything get the steak skewers it’s the true definition of enjoying a piece of good steak !!!It’s a nice and well done steak. I know juicy well done isn’t possible but they did it. The sauce that comes with it truly adds the hint of salt you need, but the Brussel sprouts are the highlight of the restaurant. The fruit has a chili, spicy flavor that goes well with the roast and sweetness of the Brussel sprout. The mussels were good but I would say the bread that comes with the mussels is the highlight, especially dipped in the mussel sauce!!! An amazing combination you must try this restaurant.

We love to hang out at this place a lot. It’s unfortunate that they altered some of the happy hour menu items. We ordered the fried calamari, but the portion size and taste have changed significantly compared to what we used to enjoy.

Attempted to make a reservation on the website an evening in advance for an otherwise mundane Thursday. The website said they would call or email to confirm. The next day, having not heard anything from them with less than two hours til when I wanted a table at, I'd still not heard from them. I tried calling no fewer than eight times, spread across about 15 minutes. No answer, any time. Better yet, their phone voicemail inbox was full, so I had no way of contacting them, directly or otherwise. So be it. I'll go to one of the million other restaurants in this city.
