We visited this restaurant today and the experience was absolutely amazing. The service was excellent — very friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. The place is very cozy, beautiful, and welcoming.

The food is incredibly delicious, and the prices are very good for the quality they offer. We tried the tomato soup, which was really, really good, and the pizzas are without a doubt highly recommended.

We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!

Great Food, Amazing service, great atmosphere, and not too bad on pricing, I think what they charge is fair for the caliber of the food, and dishes, to the presentation of each dish!! I highly recommend this place!!

Holy. 10 of us gathered tonight at Bode Gray's. We all split plates with eachother. 10 stars out of 5 on everything. The g'dam pizza. Seriously. Best crust I've ever had in my life. Nattacia our server was like an 11 stars out of 5. Angel soul x10 for reals. Best food I've had in 2025. 1st place no joke.

Their manager is on point, came by to say hi to us which says alot. Bode Gray's my gosh. 13 stars out of 5 stars. Go there and have some fun with the down to earth people who make it all happen on that daily.

Can't wait for the to-go box tomorrow afternoon. Gonna bake it. Sweatpants & Bode Gray's tomorrow. So excited. 15 stars out of 5.

Nice restaurant, big booths and tables. I loved my Limone Shrimp, the tortellini was delicious. The ravioli was good, but the pasta looked like it was browned on top, so was a different texture than expected.

Bode Gray's has some of the best food and atmosphere that I've experienced in Minnesota. All of the food I tried was phenomenal. I had the duck bacon, stuffed mushrooms, and the Margherita pizza. I'm pretty picky on my pizzas, and this was an excellent pizza. Great crust, which is the true defining characteristic of a great pizza. Their signature cocktails were terrific. The staff was awesome.

Upscale look, but laid back vibe. Great food and drinks. If you stop here, you’ll have to try Brass Hat, their speakeasy too.

UPDATE: I’m sorry you felt the need to respond to my review the way you did with the same attitude you have in person! We are all struggling actually; but I wanted to treat myself to a nice dinner with good wine. I went because I knew the food was good and the construction didn’t bother me. But I gave my review with the honesty of the current situation! Good you have kids specials; but this is not a space for kids and if it was a bunch kids I walk out. Because definitely not paying Your prices with screaming kids in my ear because WHERE you sitting them?? The seating is not good at all and if you get seated in the time out corner which I got TWICE! The server has to be fantastic Not to forget you there because you are completely hiding. People need to know the prices are high and the servers is NOT the best. Again your response was enough for people to know. All 3x the worst service came from the front of the house. END: First time I came was ok; I was interested and came back! Second time was a good experience and won me over for a 3rd time and on the 3rd time; I see the flaws!
Upscale prices and selection with a poor waitress who doesn’t know your high end items or the wines! Coming here with the construction IS A PAIN!! the dinning seating is small and limited; with a section that hides you complete from waitstaff; living you completely depending on them remembering to check your drinks; had she done that I would have gone at least one more glass of wine. It gives dive bar and high end which doesn’t work well when your prices are that high! $47 plates of food and $13 glass of wine minimum then you should deliver the high end experience you are charging for.

Great experience at Bode Grays tonight! Amber made the best Blood Orange G&T. One of the best drinks I’ve had. The pizza is delicious and the service was amazing. Thank you to Amber and the rest of Bode Grays for a fantastic dinner.
