We got to indulge in a lunch date and I am so impressed with the quality of the food at this place! The tortellini is world class!! The pizza is perfect with high quality ingredients and thoughtful extra touches! Come on out and support this wonderful restaurant! We need to keep the good ones open!

We went there for the first time last night and will certainly be back. Nice vibe, friendly staff, in right when reservation was at, good drinks (wine and Italian old fashion), great food, and prices. Also a neat little speakeasy around back.Food wise, the Rigatoni Bolognese was amazing. We also had a pizza and their smashed potatoes which were also great. The pleasent surprise at the end was the bill - it was really reasonable for a night out of quality food and a nice atmosphere.

I would say I'm not the easiest person to please when it comes to a good restaurant all around. We were very, VERY happy with our amazing service. And GREAT food from the scratch kitchen, we ordered an appetizer, salad, pizza, and dessert! And I'm so pleased to say it was all soooo good! We'll definitely be going back there soon! And I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!Thank you for finally adding a good restaurant to waconia!

Bode Gray’s is a neat spot for good pizza. The other dishes, aside from the focaccia, were underwhelming.The atmosphere was chaotic, for a 2 person table you are placed up against the dividing wall where patrons walk in and there is little privacy.The wine selection was decent, with a few local selection on the list. The wait staff were exceptional and very helpful.

I must begin by saying Natalie was fabulous! My husband's steak with gorgonzola cream sauce was perfection. The wait time for cocktails, salad, and food was insanely long. The Rigatoni Bechamel was bland, separated and oily, and pasta was soft. I wouldn't recommend pasta... ?

The Bistecca Alla Gorgonzola was fantastic, however The rigatoni bolognese was good. Italian Old Fashioned is great! Our server was amazing. The interior is well set up, but my view was of the street. Will be back to try more menu items and sit closer to the kitchen!

We went to Bodie Gray's last night for my wife's birthday. Dinner was absolutely delicious.We ended up getting the wagyu steak and tortellini as entrees. The steak was expertly prepared and incredibly tender. The tortellini was delicious and creamy. My personal tastes (and my wife's) would like a little spice to the tortellini.For the kids we got the meatball pizza which was also delicious. They enjoyed seeing the staff, prepare the pizza and loaded into the oven.For a shareable, we got the duck focaccia which was delicious. Some of the best duck I have ever had.Our server was Tiffany. She was absolutely amazing. She engaged with my wife and kids, and was very personable. Thank you, Tiffany!

Really delicious food. Best salmon I’ve had in a while.The server staff does seem to be understaffed though and we got charged a credit card surcharge while using a debit card also. So take care to watch for that.

Always a fun evening. The bartender in the Brass Hat (downstairs) always makes the BEST recommendations for drinks and food. Try the duck appetizer (even if you aren’t a duck fan). It’s fantastic!

Without a doubt, this place is a gem! My daughter wanted to celebrate her 21st birthday at Bode Gray's. They absolutely knocked the experience out of the park for her. The service was exceptional. The drinks were fantastic. And the food was delectable. Highly recommend Bode Gray's!

Not really sure why this place has 3.5 stars?!? I was so thrilled when they opened and enjoy the ambiance and the food! Great artisanal pizzas and their downstairs is a little speakeasy with great cocktails! This is a place that is different than any other place in Waconia and definitely with a try!!
