A vibe.

We love it here! I feel like it has gotten much more $$$. However it’s usually pretty good.

La Bodega delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We ordered a variety of tapas to share, and everything was fabulous—both in flavor and presentation. The variety and balance of the dishes made for a fun and satisfying meal.

We started with the Papas Fritas, which were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and addictive. The Albondigas Caseras (house-made meatballs) were rich and flavorful, served in a sauce that was perfect for soaking up with bread. The Vieras Romesco (seared scallops with romesco sauce) were tender and beautifully paired with the bold, nutty sauce.

The Elote added a sweet and spicy contrast with creamy, smoky flavors that really stood out. The Octopus Pasta was unique and memorable—tender octopus over perfectly cooked pasta with a complex, savory sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Finally, the Dátiles con Jamón y Chorizo (dates wrapped in ham and chorizo) were a perfect mix of sweet, salty, and spicy—one of our favorites of the night.

Service was excellent—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly without being intrusive. The ambiance was vibrant and warm, making it a great place for a relaxed yet upscale evening.

I got their sample tapas plate for restaurant week lunch...and their house sangria. Everything was excellent. Cant wait to go back!

Michael Kearney

There for restaurant week. The food was good. The salads were great but the sangria was a little weak. Our friends had the seafood paella and loved it.

As always, restaurant week options were very good. One in our party got the tapa sampler and they were not all that impressed. Said things were not very hot and just OK. the other 3 in our party really liked out options; salmon was nicely prepared, pasta lamb was excellent and Paella was nicely seasoned. deserts were excellent!!! Price was reasonable, server was on top of everything. the sound was loud and difficult to hear our conversations.

I will blame restaurant week , but service was slow and not a very good description of the menu was able to be provided. I would like to try back after the crowd dies down.

First time there and very glad I went. Definitely has the the Spanish Tapas vibe down, the staff was excellent - Ramon at the bar was on point. The GM stopped by and chatted a couple times talking about wine. The food, Paella de Mariscos, was amazing. Definitely will be going back even for smaller meals just to enjoy the atmosphere.

Everything was excellent except the almond cake, we will try another dessert next time
