Central Bodega is the best date night dining experience in town. It is quaint, yet sophisticated. The service is very good. The food, particularly the lamb, is out of this world!

Came here with a friend to have dinner. We arrived right when they opened and was seated right away even without a reservation. Staff and servers were very nice and pleasant. The ambiance was very warm and inviting. My friend ordered the lamb with veggies and scalloped potatoes, and I had a cesar salad with steak and fries. My friend raved about the lamb and said it was one of the best she's had. My salad was great, although the steak had more fatty pieces than actual meat and could have had a bit more flavor. All in all the food and drinks were great and the service was exceptional. Would love to return and try out their brunch items.

The entrees, wine list and desserts choice was excellent. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

overpriced and not worth it. naming your restaurant after a bodega is laughable

I have enjoyed this place in the past but had a weird experience yesterday. One staff member (I’ll call him “twirly mustache”) was super unpleasant. Terrible to his co-workers — like barking at a really sweet and helpful busser to “clean ALL of this,” meaning behind the bar, in front of a counterful of customers at like 6 on a Friday right when business started cracking. Kept also complaining loudly about “this place” while making cocktails, hollering “are these yours?” to various tables from behind the bar about drinks he had made as well as diners’ full itemized orders across the restaurant from the register to make sure he was printing the right check … just obnoxious. And the only iced tea they had was single-use plastic bottles? For dine-in?? At a bodega?!? Come on. Our server Evan was fantastic though; feel bad they all have to work with twirly.

Perfect in every aspect! My cousin, and I get together every few months to try new places, and we were blown away by the atmosphere, service and food! Everything recommended was excellent, the food was so delicious, and the drinks were amazing! Chris, Evan, and Andrew went above and beyond, and we especially loved the vibe that the staff had as a whole!

Excellent plating and presentation of the food. The lobster was nicely prepared and my wife ordered the salmon. They also have a very good bartender. One of the better places if not best place in this area.

Truly unique mixed drinks. The menu is mostly seafood, so while they were able to help me find something that could accommodate my allergies, my options were very limited. Very nice upscale spot to have a date, meet up with a friend, or just treat yourself to a nice dinner.
