You know that place that is so good, so consistently, that you hesitate to give it a rave review because it might make it harder to get a table in the future? Well, Bodega is just that kind of restaurant. Authentic cuisine, frequently updated menu and specials, and fantastic service (and wine list). Very many thumbs up!

Food was wonderful. Service was top notch. Our server was aware we were going to the show at Feinsteins and made sure our food was timely and got us out in time. We will definitely be back.
