My husband and I had a fantastic dinner and drinks. Everything was delicious and we can't wait go back. The cocktails were prefect and our dishes all fantastic. We enjoyed the cheese plate, duck tacos and lamp lollipops. Bravo

The service is always good here. My favorite dishes of the night were the truffle sachetti mac and cheese and the cauliflower bao buns. I tried a few different cocktails and wasn't super impressed with any of them.

This was our second visit to Brighton Bodega—we sat outside in October and inside in January. Both times we had an amazing experience. The service was great—everyone from hostess to waitress to manager was friendly, helpful and efficient. The food and drinks were delicious (and menu had some changes between visits...all SO GOOD). Highly recommend. This is a great spot and we will be back again soon. Thanks to all!

Not only was the food delicious, but it was some of the best service I've had in a long time. The chef has a true gift for combining flavors—the scallion pancakes with burrata and fresh figs were unreal. The truffle sacchetti mac and cheese is a must order, and the duck confit bao buns were a perfect combination of flavors. The food was rivaled only by our incredible waitress, who was warm, funny, and attentive. The entire staff worked seamlessly together, from the servers to the manager and bussers. One of the challenges of a small plate restaurant is managing all the dishes, but they were impressively efficient about clearing plates between courses. I was seated at a small high-top near the bar, and what could have felt cramped with multiple dishes never felt like an issue at all. I would give 6 stars if I could. Can't wait to come back!

I dream about the scallion pancake burrata! Service is always attentive and quick, relaxed atmosphere, great cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks

I had a wonderful dining experience. The food and drinks were excellent—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The staff provided outstanding service throughout the meal, striking the perfect balance of attentiveness and warmth. I would happily return and highly recommend this spot to others.

Everything about our first dinner at Brighton Bodega was great. We are looking forward to going back soon!

The food was absolutely delicious; I had the double smash cheeseburger and the salt and vinegar potato wedges. I was very impressed with the varied menu options. My lavender lemonade was unusual and very refreshing. The service was great. My only negative comment is the acoustics. we had a 5:30pm reservation and at that point it was not that crowded. Later on, it was jammed and at points it was virtually impossible to have a conversation. I would definitely return but would hope it would be a little less crowded. Maybe go on a less crowded night.

Have a great experience for our first time at Brighton Bodega. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend the burrata with figs. So delicious. Everything we ordered was very tasty and interesting flavors. Can't wait to go back for another fun night.

Second time at the Bodega and it was as fantastic as the first. Creative menu and delicious execution of a wide variety of dishes which makes it a lot of fun to eat family style! Our server (Gabby?) was outstanding- even running out to Devlin's to get a Diet Coke when their supply ran out!! Brought first timers there and they are now hooked too! Love this place!

We love this place and go most Saturday nights for the past 3 years. We have recommended the Bodega to friends, relatives, and colleagues and have sent a lot of repeat customers to the restaurant. Consistently the scallops have been over cooked or served “blackened” despite not described that way on the menu. The Nashville buns are a delicious staple of our family's but recently over the past several visits, they have been so spicy it's been hard to enjoy them. We love our servers, (Anna, Rojean, Anna, and Bobbi) and will continue to dine here but a few tweaks would make the entire experience 5 Star!

Great outdoor dining experience. They make the most of their outdoor space. Food ranges from excellent to just alright depending upon the dish. The Bao buns are delicious

Barbara

The food and service were outstanding! We ordered a variety of dishes and were able to share most of them. The menu is a little all over the place, but having been there before we focused on the buns, tacos, Pili Pili and others that went well together

Found the staff to be very rude the entire night. Service was slow and I was brought the wrong check which I subsequently had to stay 30 minutes after to sort out. Poor overall experience and would not return
