Our server was nice and the food and drinks were good but then kitchen timing was absurd. 4 people eating, two meals showed up at 5:30, the third meal at 5:50 and the 4th meal at 6:10 but was wrong and then showed up correct at 6:20

We appreciate your feedback. Management had been made aware and we hope that the complementary items given were suffice.

Our waiter Alejandro was great! My friends and I went out after going to a really BAD “single mingle” event and Bodega and Alejandro turned the night around for us- we had an amazing girls night out!

When we walked in, the atmosphere was so different than anywhere I’ve been to. It was dark, but very nicely decorated. The service was great, the food and drinks were amazing. On a side note, we went on NYE and it didn’t seem to slow down service or the server did not seem rushed which was nice.

We made a reservation for NYE at 6:30pm. Seated right away, drinks, apps and food came quickly. All was tasty - strawberry margaritas, loaded nachos, fish tacos, avocado tacos. Isabelle was our waitress and she checked with us frequently and was always cheerful. Reminds me of “Lolita Ft. Point” or “Lolita Boston,” but smaller and quieter. Of course, it was still early in the evening lol! Food was good value for the money and I will go again.

We went before the Bruins game and the service was quick and efficient and more importantly the food and cocktails were delicious. We will definitely return to spend more time!
