My wife and I have been to Bodega 13 at least 7-8 times since they opened. We are slow learners. We live about 5 minutes away, so we had hoped this could be our "go to" place. Each time there was serious issues with the food or preparation.
The chicken in the picatta is rubbery and the pork dish could not be cut with a steak knife. My wife's stir fry had ingredients left out and mainly a flavorless, salty soy sauce mixture. They were also "86" on the desert my wife ordered.
We think it is rather tacky to have the owners sit next to us and have dinner. She asked us how we liked our meals. We expressed our disappointments and her response was "why don't you try us again in three months" ???????? We sat at the bar and our service tonight was almost non existent as it appeared the bartender was also waiting on tables.
It appears that the owners treat this as a hobby and not a serious restaurant.
