Bodega Restaurant & Lounge

Me and my bestie came to grab a drink and a bite to eat sitting at the bar area on a Thursday night. We were greeted right away by Ashley the bartender. She made a Peach Bellini for me which was really yummy and strong. They had great music playing as well. I ordered the calamari and eggplant appetizers as entrees which were both cooked perfectly. I also got to taste my friend's lobster mac which was a yummy and a great portion. We met the chefs Mario and Carlos since it was a slower night they came out to greet us, we wanted to let them know just how yummy the food was. Absolutely perfect place to grab something yummy and quick on a weekday evening!!

Will definitely be back!!

this place is so nice! loved the music, how nice everyone was, perfect background for pics. The oysters Rockefeller was soooooo good omg. I wasn't sure if i would like them so I only ordered 1 but just go ahead and get two orders. That's how good they were. I had such a nice time so I'll definitely be back!!

My friend & I had an incredible experience last night at Bodega. LOVED the gin & cucumber martinis, an incredible hummus appetizer, and the pan seared salmon & lobster risotto made us swap plates for a while! The owner Anthony visited our table, was gracious & helpful, as was the kitchen manager & bartender. We will be back ASAP!

First time ever: A casual setting with an exquisite menu, heavier on the seafood side. Xavier was our server. He was very personable and kind. Someone (whom I assumed was maybe a manager) came out to see how we were doing and she was very kind and polite! Overall charming venue with patio options. Our food came out in great timing and was by far the best risotto I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back! Thank you so much

The food and service was amazing. We took advantage of restaurant week and got the 3 course special. We had escargot,stuffed eggplant, rack of lamb and bone in ribeye. Everything was delectable. Our server Ashley aka Baby Doll was amazing too and we had the manager stop by and introduce himself as well. Great way to spend our 27 wedding anniversary. We will be back!

Last night on 1/27/24, it was my very first time here at Bodega and everything was exceptional. It was for my pre-birthday celebration. The food was delicious, the atmosphere, the music was amazing, the decor was very nice. The staff members were very polite and our waitress (forgot her name) was outstanding. She ensured that we had everything we needed, she came to check on us to make sure we were good, her attitude was very positive, she was smiling, dressed professionally. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a dinner party or a date night. Definitely a 10/10.

Space for POC, attentive bar tender. Quiet and intimate excellent experience for me and my partner. Does have a mild moist smell.

I really enjoyed my time here. The wings were amazing, the vibes were pleasant, and the bartenders key and Grayland were very attentive and knew how to hold a great conversation. I highly recommended this location. I will for sure be back soon

I am vegan and I was able to really enjoy myself at this restaurant. They have the absolute best hummus in town, that hummus planter is wonderful. I don't eat the feta that is on it, but my husband does. Does. He said that the escargo was excellent. His only complaint was the cocktail sauce was not up to par for his oysters. I love that they have little battery powered lamps on the tables so you can actually see what you are doing and read your menu. I am legally blind and have no vision in the dark so this was excellent for me. The staff was really pleasant and really helpful. They were a little behind but we had a big party so that is to be understood. They were so kind and said please come back again and see us. We will be back!

Had a beautiful birthday dinner at 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐚. I’ve visited this restaurant dozens of times over the past decade. This time around I enjoyed the roasted mussels, a caprese salad 🥗, and crab 🦀 croquettes. Everything was delicious: I love the redesigned outdoor patio dining area. Always providing an elegant touch to dining experiences. Great eats!

Iv been here a lot. I give it 4 full stars for just the food. 1 star for atmosphere. Bartender is a good guy but he usually works alone so when it’s busy it’s hard to get what you need when you need it. But the food is always really good so I guess it’s worth the wait. We always order the calamari & rockafella oysters. I highly recommend! The shrimp cocktail is super fresh and delicious.

I want to give a personal shoutout to Ashley our amazing server/ bartender and also Mario our chef for making my 60th birthday dinner absolutely fabulous, the food delicious 😋 drinks amazing and the atmosphere was perfect!! Thank you for having us and treating me so special!!! See you soon♥

Food was amazing! Escargot hands down best in Northeast Ohio!!! The Stuffed Salmon was so good and creamy, melt in your mouth. Was not disappointed at all! Owner came around to check on us. Very nice atmosphere definitely will be back!!!

We sat at the bar for drinks and oysters on a Sunny Sunday. The Service was 5 star, very welcoming atmosphere. The drinks were made perfectly, we had cosmopolitans. The food , we came for Oysters Rockefeller and the blue point oysters (mistvhave with horseradishand champagne migononette. Food was fresh , delicious, and well plated.
Our server was Anthony.

Attended a Birthday dinner on a Wed. They were very accommodating. Service was quick, our waitress was great handling our party. The drink “Pink Bellini” was so tasty! My appetizer was the calamari, sauce was immaculate, they were cooked to perfection an the portion size was quite large. My entree was Rack of lamb and it was cooked perfectly. I could have used a little more sauce but it was still delicious. Asparagus was larger than I’m used to but cooked crisp just how I like it.

Ambiance was neo-soul smooth. Food was great. Drinks were super. I was impressed. Glad my friends recommended. Excited to take my friends back there for an adult chill time. Soon.

My husband and I was riding around indecisive as to where to go eat. Restaurants was limited as this was the 4th of July. Not to mention it was my birthday as well.

Finally, we decided we'd give Bodega's restaurant a try since they were one of the few places opened. We both was hesitant to go because our last visit didn't offer the food that we were use to receiving from this restaurant. Nonetheless, we hoped for a better experience.

I decided to make a reservation to ensure that we'd have a place to go. We called and made a reservation for two at 10:30p

As we entered into the restaurant and was greeted after a few minutes by the host who inquired if I informed that we had a reservation. My husband and I was sat immediately.

Once sat we was greeted by our server. He was very charming and well versed in the menu options and drink selections. We asked lots of questions about different meals and drinks. He offered expertise his advise on favorite dishes and what each meal had to offer.

We eventually settled on Mixed Greens Salad to share Mediterranean Seafood Pasta and Rack of Lamb, which was accompanied by garlic mashed poatoes and asparagus. The table also received Bodega's house bread a dip.

I was so astonished at how well the food was prepared and how awesome the flavor. I was happy to finally have again the taste that Bodega restaurant once had.

Me husband and I eagerly informed the server on how grateful we both were and that we would be returning again.

I just can't say enough about the service that our server offered as he made sure that our water glasses stayed full and refills on our other beverages.

In my advice the food and service was absolutely great.

Great food, prompt and friendly service, very clean , I ordered the glazed wings and Moroccan sliders , my girl had the glazed wings and truffle fries , music was a mixture of R&b and a little hip hop, overall I had a good time , I will be coming again

The Escargot 🐌 is definitely 5 stars best in the city… atmosphere was great especially for a date. Me and my wife’s dinner was excellent. I will be frequenting this restaurant very often I was amazed and very satisfied.

Chef Mario and Chef Carlos is amazing!! Food was absolutely phenomenal! Thanks Jasmine and Anthony for the wonderful experience, i will definitely be back!
