The food is bland overpriced and they give you the same potatoes with everything. I’m not one to complain but the food was god awful. Our table was hungry and nobody wanted to finish the food but if you want to see for yourself by all means go for it, you’ve been warned.

Went to Bodega on Main for my birthday and it was incredible. We tried so many dishes, pan con tomate, El Caesar, patatas bravas, champiñones, berenjenas con miel, montaditos de lomo, pincho moruno, and chuletillas de cordero, and every single one was packed with flavour. The sangria and Lamento cocktails were unreal and paired perfectly with the food.
The atmosphere was warm and lively, the service was amazing, and the whole night felt so special. Easily one of the best tapas spots in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

Been to Bodega on Main for a few visits. Tried their happy hour (3pm-6pm daily, 10pm to late Sunday-Thursday). Happy hour consists of 9 items and a couple of drinks. Service was okay but had to ask for water multiple times.
- La hora del vermut ($10.00 HH) - doesn’t beat any house vermouths in Spain - Ensalada mixta ($12.00 HH) - plain - Patatas bravas ($8.00 HH) - standard - Arroz espanol ($14.00 HH) - seafood rice pilaf (mini paella) was bland - Jamon serrano ($14.00 HH) - paper thin slices - Calamares fritos ($15.00 HH) - serviceable - Montaditos de lomo ($13.00 HH) - two pieces of pork on bread. Not what we were expecting - Pollo frito ($12.00 HH) - overcooked wings (3) - Churros ($11.00 HH) - lacked a satisfying bite. Chocolate sauce had an odd after taste

Incredible food. So very tasteful and flavorful. Service is prompt and precise. My favorite dish is their prawns in garlic and chilies. Their steak skewer is another good option for a leaner choice.

We are sorry to say that we were quite disappointed with the food we ordered, Paella mixta. The seafood is not fresh, taste like frozen shrimp has been frozen for a long period of time. Rice is way too hard to digest. Service was not too good as well.
Pretentious as hell. When in and ordered dessert, guy wouldn't give me an estimate for time and so I asked to cancel. Sever refused. Told me to get it to go. I asked for a time estimate and if they could give me that I would take it. He went back to the kitchen and ended up cancelling it because they haven't started. So the guy basically lied to me earlier implying I should just wait. I've never been treated this shitty by a waiter before.

I'm Spanish, and authentic paella is nothing like this rice. Don't order it; it's dry and tasteless. The restaurant's dishes also lack the flavor of Spain.

Food and atmosphere is 5-star but the way we were treated left much to be desired. We were reminded several times about the 2-hour reservation limit and that our table was reserved after us. Mind you, the restaurant was mostly open tables. Although 3 servers stood talking at the end of bar I had to wave them over to get a drink after joining my friends and waiting. I barely had a sip and the server was back asking if we were ready to order dinner and she reminded us–yet again–that we had 2 hours. There was no alert that Happy Hour was ending and at 6:02 my friend realized and asked for a wine and she was told she would have to pay regular price. We had stopped ordering to accommodate their time limit, when the server brought our bills with a tip already added!–apparently automatic for a table of six–not eight–six! After we paid, the server informed us there had been a reservation change so we were allowed to stay another half hour. There were still empty tables at this point. We were done with the attitude by now so we went elsewhere to spend more money.
