    There were so many items to choose from and they were all delicious. My favorite was the Tostada de Queso de Cabra con Miel (goat cheese and honey over bread). The waitress was super nice and knowledgeable. I will definitely be revisiting.

    If you’re planning to come here for happy hour, I suggest you go to Jaleo. We came here first, had a few drinks and tapas, but were quickly disappointed. The hostess was quite rude (the woman with the glasses) and the happy hour dishes were subpar. The chorizo sausages, according to the people sitting close to us, tasted like they were from Wawas. Unfortunately, I don’t think they were wrong. Jaleo had great food and drinks and surprisingly was at similar, if not cheaper, price point given the size of the dishes. Our night would’ve been ruined if not for Jaleo. Just something to consider if you are looking for good Spanish food in DC.

    Dear OpenTable Team, We kindly request the removal of this review from our restaurant’s page, as it appears to be solely promoting Jaleo and has nothing to do with Bodega Spanish Tapas & Lounge. The content of the review seems like an advertisement for another establishment rather than genuine feedback about our restaurant. Additionally, the review mentions a hostess wearing glasses, which does not match any of our staff members, further confirming that it was posted in error. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in removing the review. Best regards, Bodega Management

    There is a seating and bar area in the front that is dark and lively and a restaurant area in the back which is quiet but nice. Next time, I would definitely prefer a table in the front. Food is good but not tremendous, I’d go back for a drink. The service was excellent

    Nice variety of tapas delivered fresh to the table. Red sangria was excellent. Calamari was fresh. Lamb chop had wonderful seasoning.
