Bodega Tapas, Wine, and Rum

Bodega is probably the best restaurant in Wake Forest. The ambiance is great created by low level lighting and individual lamps at each table that also function for reading the extensive menu of international small plates. We had 8 of those and all were excellent. Don't miss the goat cheese dip, the lamb meatballs, and the Peruvian chicken. All 3 desserts, the crème brûlée, the pecan pear tart, and apple cake were all excellent. One in our party of 4 ancestry is Croatian and he loved the wine from there. Service was fast and efficient. With this amount of dishes the bill with tip was upwards of $200 so may be a special occasion for some but worth it for the quality and ambiance.

This place was great. If you like to try lots of different things that all taste great, this is the place for you.

Bodega is a culinary experience that all would enjoy. All of the dishes we tried were well balanced and visually appealing. The variety of tapas bring tastes from all over the word. The service was top notch. Our waiter was very attentive and explained all the selections so we would know what to expect. Looking forward to our next visit.

We loved Bodega Tapas and Wine! We sat at the bar and Mari took amazing care of us. The Foie Gras crème Brûlée, fried cauliflower, and Peruvian chicken were delicious. We will absolutely be back.

This place is a fun, vibrant place to dine with a different flair (small plates). The food, while minimal, is absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that they almost never change their menu and they have mostly the same small plates and mains as they did 3 years ago.

This restaurant is our favorite in the town! Amazing service and the food is great! 100% recommended!

“Bodega Tapas and Wine offers a truly romantic setting with excellent service. Each tapa was thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. A memorable dining experience worth repeating.”

Love Bodegas tapas we are frequent customers and love everything great food , drinks and environment

Service, Staff, and Atmosphere were great. The food was mediocre at best. Of the 6 plates the 2 of us shared, one was outstanding, two were ok, and the other three just weren't good. Maybe the kitchen was having an off night. The hosts and servers were all great and super friendly and the restaurant itself was really nice.

Amazing place, Food and drinks are outstanding. Nice selection of wines and the old fashioned is my favorite

Innovative dishes and attentive service. New items on the menu, highly recommend the broccoli and cauliflower. We happened to be sitting outside on a Friday Night on White, which made the atmosphere rather loud.

Excellent entrees, fabulous atmosphere, friendly service that seemed to appear as needed without hovering.

I was a little scared when making a reservation here with have men in our group. We all ended up loving it. There are so many choices and everything was unique and delicious. The only thing I would say is that it might be better for a date night rather then a large group.

The only disappointment was the seared tuna. Used to get nice sized and thick slices. Now for the same price it's small and incredibly thin.

This was our first time to Bodega. Every single one of the tapas we tried was delicious, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back in the future. Such a gem of a restaurant to have in downtown Wake Forest.
