I called at 4 PM to order from menu as that’s what time their website states they’re open. I asked to order pasta of the day at this time. They said they didn’t know what it was,lady says call back at 4:30 to find out what menu is for a dinner time that starts at 4 PM. She said the chef doesn’t know yet because he’s late and he’s trying to throw things together…..bad service for overpriced food was excited to try it out, but this put a bad taste in my mouth.

Central Bodega is by far the best restaurant in Albuquerque! My husband and I go on date night's and this is the best place that we have been to. Better than Vernon's or Antiquity. The food is AMAZING, as are the drinks. Not only are the drinks delicious but they have fun names. I had the Prawns and the steat tartare (which I normally would never try) and both were delicious. I HIGHLY recommend Central Bodega!!!!!

What an amazing find! We had steak frites, baked cod, lamb, shrimp scampi and stuffed baked acorn squash. The presentation and the food were very nice. We also had a knockout barolo and barbera wines, which our sever decanted. The menu changes today but I’m sure it will be incredible.

We went there on a Monday mostly because it was the only place really open on Monday. The only reason I’m giving it a four stars is because the bartender was just amazing but the did just wasn’t . She recommended wine, told me what to drink and what not to drink. She definitely told us what food was better than the other. Her conversation was amazing even though she was really the only person doing bartending and serving that night, she didn’t get stressed out at the amount of responsibility. The food was slightly bland, but still very good. The presentation was great.

Four of us had dinner reservations here last night for a birthday get-together. Two of us arrived early, had a couple of cocktails, and ordered a bottle of wine to open for the table. The whole experience was fantastic. The staff was great, the bartender made excellent cocktails and provided one of the most professional wine experiences I've had in Albuquerque. He decanted the wine to go with our dinners, which were also fantastic. We stayed for about three hours, enjoyed appetizers, meals, and dessert. Two bottles of wine, and we couldn't be happier with this establishment.

Last-minute anniversary reservation that totally paid off.
The service, food, and drinks were excellent—much improved from our previous visit. The wait for a table was brief, and the staff apologized graciously. We went with the bartender’s choice, and it’s probably one of my all-time favorite cocktails.

Mariah was awesome—warm, professional, and she even created a couple of spontaneous drinks that wowed us: a standout “random” concoction and an amazing martini.

CJ from Mission Winery stopped by and was great as always.

I highly recommend the mussels with fries.

All in all, a great experience that has us excited to return.

Best handcrafted cocktails I’ve ever had. Service was great! Atmosphere and music was great. Happy to say this is my new favorite spot for a handcrafted cocktail! I recommend the Lime Lush cocktail! 10/10

Dined in on a Friday evening. Dominic was our server and both the food and the service were outstanding. We had the cheeseboard and mussels, and a few delicious cocktails. 10/10
